Why did the art style drop off so fast from gen 4? I find gen 2 art very warm and comfortable. The more detailed versions of gen 2 like
>>55233393 look very ideal for what a pokemon game should have. Gen 3 art is memorable to me for the effects like smoke or water reflection but it feels like a slight downgrade. I can't look at anything from gen 4 onwards for art in a positive way and even when diamond/pearl came out I don't think I was all that impressed and that was only 2.5D art still.
