Are you happy that GameFreak still makes sprites for things like menu items and PC icons? Or should the games just go full 3D and stop doing sprites altogether?

I really like Gen 6-7's menu sprites, most of the gen 3-5 ones were just awful

3D models are the best that happened to Pokemon, most of new Pokemon makes sense on the model and not in the art.

It's simple the 3ds will barely handle this. The 3ds is fucking slow and this is an easy way to get better performance and probably a better looking menu.

So Alola Pokémon are literally wholesale new Pokémon yet they treat it as a "form" just so the dex number doesn't get bumped up past 1000. Cheeky game freak jews.

I mean, I prefer this over the horribly broken megas, we get our variety in a less convoluted way. But still, the way they tiptoe over this just confuses many people.

So this is definitely 100% proof that these regional variants are indeed new Pokemon, just within their species, not as a new species altogether.

Incomparable.

Literally only the physical design changes, nothing else. Its like the equivalent of a melanistic varient.

In this case it more like full sub-species or even like species within the same genus.

Exactly. Different typing, heights/weights, stats, movepools, (hidden) abilities, probably egg moves and TM compatibilities...these are effectively new Pokemon. Maybe even different flavor text in the Pokedex, too.

It is literally described as a regional variant as Shellos in look different depending on which side of the region they are found on.

Just like how Mantyke's face on its back is bigger when it isn't found in Sinnoh.

Hell Vivillon was probably the test for this as Vivillon literally has a different appearance depending on what country you are in.

They are all the same, Alola's are just more dynamic because they feature type change.

Again, purely aesthetic. Unless you mean in game which, they should retcon the different gastrodon's stats and abilities to make it more like an alola form then, or not- because the geographical distance and climate is not so great to bring about the same kind of change as an alola form

whereas alola form share a name and base design with their Counterparts. Stats, abilities, moves etc. Are different.

After replaying Black 2 this month, a lot of the sprites are just tweened animations, not properly animated. And tween animation aint nicer than 3d anims

Why would people even prefer this? Menusprites give us a more charming way to visualize pokemon in your party/PC. It also gives away nostalgic vibes for veteran players that have been playing the games before they jumped into 3D graphics. Call me autistic, but I always enjoyed looking at Nidoking's menusprite around the Gen 3-5 days as a chibified version of him dancing while still looking badass was very amusing to look at.

I like sprites more than models in general, but I understand that the games had to go 3D at some point.
I think ORAS´s approach is the better one, mostly models, sprites for a few things like the dex.

I prefer the sprites in 4th gen to what we have now.

5th gen didn't work at all because making the sprites move constantly when their outlines had all those jagged edges just looked ugly

I just wish they would make icons for ALL the Pokémon. Poor female Hippopotas and Hipowdon, forever overshadowed by their male counterparts. Some goes for alternate forms like non-Normal Arceus.

And shinies too.

3D models for such small images would be horribly scaled, ending up as featureless blobs. Just look at how short they had to make Exeggutor's neck to make it fit.
