>>19892231I've never liked the look of the pokemon overworld. The sprites of pokemon looked decent in gen 4-5, in gen 1 they looked like total shit, don't lie to yourself. Gen 2 slightly improved on the sprites, to I guess the best they could get them for the technology at the time, but overall they still looked like garbage.
Only nostalgia goggles make gen 1-2 sprites and overworld look good. If I can draw just as well, if not better than a video game it's not good design, and I'm a shitty artist.
Gen 3 looked OK but also still looks like shit in the overworld, but it's a big step up from what we were used to in gen 1-2. Gen 4 had a good looking overworld, and gen 5 improved on the groundwork. Gen 6 then took a few steps back, as now it looks like 3d shit, and game freak can't 3d model for shit.
The battles in gen 6 though look OK to me. They need a lot of work, but I prefer the 3d models to the sprites we've been getting since gen 5. They seem a lot more alive than watching sprites jerk around on screen during battle.
