We always discuss the differences between generations by the pokemon they contributed. But what about other things like spritework, animations, music, sound effects, overworld design, etc.
Which generation had the best overall aesthetic?

Gen VI obviously. From these on the image it's either gen III or IV.

Blue has a few altered tilesets to Red/Green, so stuff like houses, grass, trees, fences, paths, and signs look different. Same with Yellow.

Likewise for Crystal vs Gold/Silver, Emerald vs Ruby/Sapphire, and Platinum vs Diamond/Pearl. And of course FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver have their own unique graphics compared to the rest of their generation.

Maybe it's because my first game as a child was Dune 2000 I always found gen 3 to be my favorite in terms of sprites. Not over the top, no really soft like gen 4, but gets the idea across.

Gen IV had the best sprites. Gen V's moving sprites look awkward, and Gen VI's models look boring and lifeless in most cases. Just compare them to Battle Revolution's models, or, hell, even the Stadium models and you can see how animated they are compared to Gen VI.

5's sprites aren't awkward so much as they are low-res.

Sun and Moon look beautiful.

But Gold/Silver/Crystal have always been my favorite visually. I love the simplicity of the gameboy sprites and the earthy pallete of Johto. I didn't like HGSS's color scheme as much.

gen 2 had a god tier colour pallet and sound font, gen 3 was really good here too

gen iv looks nice but it's really bland (>>28600203 is a good example)

gen 1 is probably the worst, even nostalgia can't save it

FRLG is a favorite of mine, actually. I also like gen 2. The differences are slight but DPPt > HGSS.

Worst is RSE.
I was so disappointed when Emerald came out and it still looked like Ruby and Sapphire.

I really like the overworld sprites of gen 5.

Really mad response there friend.

Also, Gen V looks much better than 6.

>>28600585
Bland is a really negative way to put it I think. Cant deny that GSC were pretty great looking as well though.

>>28600709
I also agree with this (other than lime green tall grass>HGSS)

FRLG looks really good compared to RSE. Especially the RSE ocean which is fantastic.

Anyone in their right mind saying gen V has to be legally retarded. For every good choice they made on the graphic front they went back 10 steps, e.g. the godawful tweening. The games just look fucking awful in movement.

Which is a huge problem.

Especially when they zoom in on them. And the general overworld really doesn't look as nice as Gen IV. V's Pokemon sprites are also really not flattering, especially the terribly tweaked gen IV sprites for older Pokemon.

The pseudo-3D was also just hideous.

Those sprites are beautiful.

Honestly the games looked alright for their general time given how ugly a majority of gameboy games are.

But gen VII is looking like it could replace it mostly because of the huge areas and non chibi models

3, no doubt about it. Pure spritework across the board, amazing attack animations that haven't been matched since, incredible triumphant soundtrack, just incredible. It'll never be matched in 2D, but perhaps soon we'll see a 3D game that will eclipse it.

The 3D backgrounds and elements didn't really look nice.

And the LQ sprites looked like trash paired with them. And the battle sprites were such irredeemable garbage. Especially the phoned in Gen I-IV sprites.

Gen 5 was definitely not the best overall, but I still have a soft spot for the graphics since there were a few areas and sprites that I thought were really good.

I feel like there were also a lot of songs and battle themes. I think overall other gens were better there too but some of my favorite battle themes are from Gen 5.

Look at how awkward that sprite meshes with that overly pixalated boat. It's especially jarring in the first one where the angle isn't even right.

Style wise: Gen V. The menus and presentation of information in-game was really cool and stylish.

Atmosphere: Platinum. The snow, the music, sound effects, and overall mood really came through in its presentation. Despite the slow speed I think Platinum felt very complete and like a true adventure in a Pokemon world. The journey up Mt. Coronet to encounter the legendaries exemplifies this. Love it.
