>>55652773>soulful animated sprites Maybe on the new Pokemon, but the returning ones were 90% just static gen 4 sprites with tweening puppet rigs slapped on. Raikou in particular is extremely soulless.
The art styles on a handful of them look mismatched with how some were pulled from HG/SS and others from Diamond/Pearl because they wanted to pick the most static poses between games to make them easier to animate
