>>28599098I've always felt like boring 3D models are a "necessar evil". On one hand you can't keep the pokemon games 2D forever when clearly there's the technology to make the 3D, this is not Megaman 10. The downside is that when doing idle animation the pokemon can't keep cool poses when not attacking, it would look terribly off. Take Hitmonlee's sprite in emerald vs the current model. The emerald one is much cooler and it works the pokemon battle is still highly stylized. The current mdel is more boring, but a Hitmonlee constatly floating through the air while the camera pans over him would look ridiculous. Hitmonlee's example is the more extreme I can think of, but the principle is pretty much the same for every pokemon
The colors are still shit though
