>>56389227>it looks uglyYou must be joking.
Regardless of your opinion on its other qualities the visuals are where GSC undeniably is the peak of the franchise and one of the best looking games ever made in general.
Literally 300+ high quality sprites in battle which are actually unique depending on game version with incredible use of color, posing and negative space. There's few games which can boast that and no other Pokemon game (the sprite quality fell off in gen 3 and never recovered).
Day, morning, night, etc palettes all striking and memorable. Great design inspiration and setting. Animations in Crystal. Looks great regardless of hardware choice which isn't always the case for handheld games of that era (GB, GBC, backlit GBA, etc).
If nothing else it's inarguably the best looking GBC game.
>they look great They look like oversaturated vomit, have no day/night cycle nor half as much sprite detail.
