Sup /vp/, which generations or games sprites/models do you personally prefer most? There's usually arguments like lifeless models and lego looking sprites so i'm curious to see where it went "right" in your guys opinion.

I like models are the best, hands down.
As for sprites
IV > II > V > III > I
Gen II is so high because the sprites are legitimately really good. There is some appeal to Gen I sprites but I'd rather look at any other gen.

Second gen sprites definitely had more character, especially with each version giving you a different stance.

Animation wise it's Crystal. There's just something about it that feels higher quality than Emerald onward.

I must say that I do like the color choices of sticking with the original art, but I'll say it's a mixture of FR/LG and Gen IV for me.

Pt/HGSS had some really nice sprites.
G/S for having different sprites for each game.

3D is nice, but I would actually be happy if pokemon went back to 2D sprites. Sadly, it's higly unlikely to happen.

My favourite looking sprites are the ones from gen 4.

Models are better for most pokemon.

I miss Crystal sprites though, as does Typhlosion, Xatu, Skarmory, Lugia.

This.
Emerald animations are only 2 diferent sprites with some shitty gimmick like shrinking, rotating or moving the sprites a few pixeles. Crystal sprites where kinda statics but with more animations, like 3 or 4 sprites, making them better

Sprites:
5 > 4 > 2 > 1 > 3
1 is hit and miss, but I have no idea what the art direction was doing during gen 3, jesus christ.

Gen VI models are terrible right now because they're so lifeless. I'd probably like them if they weren't.

Emerald sprites will always be shit. I always wondered what they were thinking outside of the Hoenn Dex, both in direction and keeping them instead of adding animations to the FR/LG sprites.

I agree with this, but I'm optimistic that the models will improve in future generations.

Models > Sprites
Spritewise, IV > I > II > III > Dogshit > V

V not only reused sprites from Gen IV, but they just looked goofy half the time.

I like Battle Revolution's lighting more than the washed out look of the 3DS games, but the 3D model quality is pretty bad.

Weren't a lot of them reused from Colosseum, which in turn were reused from Stadium?

Surprisingly civil so far.
Gen 2 definitely wins first place for me, it keeps a simple pixel styled look which is fitting, a huge improvement from gen 1 not all but a huge amount and giving the games a unique sprite is definitely a nice touch looking at it now. It all went horribly wrong in gen 3 for me though, like they tried to squish everything in smaller while trying to maintain every little detail.

Gen II's sprites are stylistic as fuck. They stand out way more than just about any other game's sprites, except maybe Yellow's, and had some of the most dynamic looking poses, especially considering that they made a different set of sprites for each version. And the use of color is great.

I really like most models, I just wish they'd fix Skarmory, M-Mence, M-Pidgeot, Swellow, Xatu etc. These look stupid as fuck and I definitely liked their old sprites better.

I noticed that Gen V's worst sprites were all the reused ones. Compare the quality of the newer Pokemon to ones from say, Gen one.

Gen IV had the worst sprites. Lifeless, dull poses and HORRIBLE animations (Look at Lopunny holy shit)

Really they just need to use the landing models instead of the perpetually slightly gliding models.
