In retrospect it's kinda weird how we don't rag on the GBA games for their visuals when Mother 3 came around and had a significantly more detailed style in just about every single aspect with an objectively bigger world than any Pokemon game to date. Seriously, ever area had fully unique interiors, every house in the main city was different, there were way more NPCs all with talking animations and actual walking sprites, the game had full ass cutscenes with sprites while Emerald could only manage the one fug cutscene which in reality was like 3 unique frames of animation, it's fucked.
We bash on Pokemon's visuals now but I agree with other people when they say Pokemon has always been way behind the curve, and emerald is like my top 5 in the series.
