>>16780166Here, they had some cleaning up(And I use that term loosely). With
>>16779882, there's a lot of crudeness to be found and it's funny when Blue's sprites were an improvement.
>>16780204Yellow is when we got the designs solidified and the anime is to partly blame. If you look at the Bandai cards, the designs were in their own style. Here, they had to take some influence from the anime and I felt it kinda killed Gen I's overall motif.
>>16787358While I'll acknowledge that Gen II's sprites were ahead of their time, half of Crystal's animations were literally blinking. And if there were a unique frame, it was only because of a slight movement of the tail/arm. Animations don't make the game for me.
That said, Gen V was fine in the beginning but lost its appeal quick. Instead of pic related, we got flash-tier animations. This was made in 2008. Let that sink in for a minute.
