>>37162595most of the old cries were lower in pitch, and their volume was more 'bricked', the new cries are slightly quieter on average (and have more dynamic range overall), but they are also noticeably higher in pitch; this works for some pokemon, but not for a lot of them. i like how they tried to make cries for gen 1 and 2 pokemon to sound more animal-like, or to add electrical effects to the cries of electric-type pokemon; i'd say most of my favorite new cries
are of flying and electric type pokemon. some psychic types like mewtwo and drowsee/hypno are alright as well. a good chunk of the rest of them tho... they're not really better (a lot of them are arguably worse) in part because they're -kinda- different from the old cry, but not in an interesting way, like they're just different for the sake of being different.
