Yeah, the old sprites were so awesome. Everything looked dynamic and imtimidating, the poses were always mid-action, everything had personality.
That's not to say that the newer sprites suck though. I like those too, but I just wonder sometimes why they're so plain. Take Tyranitar, for example. Huge menacing monster, but it's just standing there with its mouth open.
I guess the sprite animations kinda made up for this, though.
>>18350836I love this one. Lugia looks like it's diving at the opponent, and the pose shows off its body really well. You can see the long neck, the back fins, the tail. the dextrous fingers on the wings, ect.
One of my favorites was Dragonite in Red / Blue. It looks scary, and I don't think any other sprite has ever since.
