>>21970946>Newer designs are always better because they're modern and used with technology that couldn't be done in the past.I'm really glad people like this don't frequent art circles. The argument that what makes a piece of art better than another is the tools used to make it is a very strange argument to make.
What bothers me more though is the implication that if I do like one of the older designs, then I'm a genwunner and I'm more motivated by nostalgia than other considerations.
Not everyone who likes old cartoons is called a "Hanna Barbaraer", and thinks only old cartoons are the best. They do however, like them. Do you suppose that every person who likes old cartoons likes them because of the tools the artists used, or because Hanna Barbara cartoons are more entertaining than even some cartoons that come about today?
Similarly, do you really think that OP prefers the old Pikachu design because it was part of his past, or because it appeals more to him visually?
