I like many new designs but I hate Sugimori's more modern art style. The colors are too plastic, and the angles are too soft. Watercolors really did a lot to help his art stand out too. It doesn't help that when making the 3D models Creatures Inc tried to slavishly recreate his style in 3D. Compare Blitzle's sprite for example to its art and you can see the sprite is much better proportioned and the joints in its legs are clearly defined the way previous 4 legged Pokemon were.
