>>45601426If you were talking about Gen 3, then maybe. Gen 2 sprites were good. Gen 4 were alright and Gen 5 were amazing. Gen 1 (G/R) sprites did their own thing, which makes them pretty fucking based.
Gen 5 introduced sleeping being displayed on the sprites. Idle animations for every single pokemon in a generation that saw the largest number of new pokemon.
Say what you will, but I like it.
