>>36676295I didn't mind the animations while playing through B/W. Here's the problem though; when you look at virtually any pokémon outside of 156 introduced in B/W it's pretty evident that the animations were an afterthought. The only real exception is a bunch of pokémon from Hoenn which got brand new sprites, seems pretty clear that they initially planned for OR/AS to release on the DS.
Ultimately, I'd take HGSS's quality sprites over animated ones.
