>>51184038>at least for the kaiju/monster egg groupSugimori has said he used gen 3 to draw more kaiju and tougher designs again after he was restricted to make things simpler and more toyetic for gen 2. Digimon never stopped making aggressive giant monster designs, so I think that's what people mean when they claim gen 3 is when pokemon designs started to "look like digimon", even though it's what Sugimori wanted and inspired him to draw monsters, both just share the same inspiration.
