When I played Pokemon for the first time in 2000 I imagined the characters looking like the artwork displayed in the game manuals etc. If I imagined "what would a pokemon game in 2021 look like", I would have imagined full 3D and great graphics, like a CGI pokemon movie but playable.
Instead, theres this horrible trend particularly for Nintendo games to try to "recreate the retro feel" by making shitty chibi models and cutesy interpretations of everything. They seem to have forgotten that the main reason for everything being "chibi" in 90s games was because of graphical limitations, not a conscious stylistic choice.
