Also, I'm perfectly fine with the shift to 3D. You can cry "MUH STATIC SOULLESS IDLE STANCES" all you want, but I think it's fine that the Pokemon have various attacking and damage-taking animations, AND interactivity in Amie/Refresh. Some Pokemon that were created in gen 6 and 7 simply wouldn't have been able to get their concepts across as effectively if they were just sprites. And while gen 6 was a bit of an awkward transition, gen 7 absolutely nailed it with having fully expressive and likable characters, and I felt much closer to any of these characters than I ever did back when they were just 16x16 pixel chibis with like 3 frames of animation tops. Plus, gen 5's animated sprites were atrocious, and I'm glad we're finally rid of them.
