>>50610287They being fully animated and the camera moving while the sprites were in a 3D space felt cinematic for the DS, in fact I would argue it felt cooler than the more recent games too.
All the games before were just static PNGs that sure, look nice in a comparison like this, but were kinda boring since they were like this for the entire 3~ minutes battle, also some Pokemon suffered from having cool designs but the backsprite crop being terrible and not showing its true appeal.
