Why are people so obsessed with graphics? These were the graphics on the Game Boy and no one back then how bad they looked.

False. People have complained since gen 1 about Pokémon graphics being worse than their system's average. You were just too young to care.

keep in mind that they were actually detailed, due to being static images rather moveable sprites

MGS ghost babel has it beat easily in the animation department, with moveable sprites like snake being far smoother and fluid than the PCs overworld sprite
but pokemons still art was actually much better

Ah, yes, the good old "no u".

Too bad it wasn't the case at all, especially when those games also ran on the original GB.

I love it how the first line of defense against criticism of the current gen is to try dragging the whole franchise down with it.

What I've been told was that these games were being developed before even before Sun and Moon were released. If so, it would explain a lot, but would we even get much better if the development was purely with the Switch in mind? Is that even a problem? What I see mostly seems odd because the shader on the character models clashes with the environment. The environment itself is fine. I therefore have a challenge for you: find a form of shading that does work for this aesthetic. I know you can do it because I've seen it done.

Unlike Pokemon Gen6 ~ Gen8 where they still use PS2 graphics on modern systems.

I will, graphics is the last thing on my list when it comes to playing video games. Actual gameplay, music and a game being generally entertaining by either challenging components or well written story and development. Graphics is the least concern anyone should have unless it's an actual technical issue that disrupts the gameplay overall

Chrono Trigger. Final Fantasy VI. Even Mario and Sonic had better graphics than this. No, I will not excuse it being on Game Boy. If it wasn't for Pokemon, the Game Boy would've died and no one would've given a second thought of it. It was outmoded. They all knew it. You were all roped in by lies and deceit. You never liked the game, you only liked the 90s advertisement. There was never any grand adventure or discovery or friendship, that was all a fabrication. None of it really existed. Just mindless pressing a button in a field of pixels.

By better you mean they have their own style that you liked right? Because that doesn't make them better. It just makes them have their own style that you happened to like.

If you look back right now, they look outdated and it would only probably appeal to a small group of people but back then, no one minded all of those because those weren't particularly bad for their time.

Even if you wanted to make that distinction, I am sure that there are other games on the Game Boy itself that look better. I have no interest in looking it up, though. If we want to talk about 8 bit in general, though, there are zillions of NES games by themselves that look better than this. AND THEY'RE OLDER THAN THIS.

You are literally comparing home consoles with portables, retard. Also, it was quite the improvement over RBY. Both visually and mechanically (fucking breeding was added in Gen 2).

The 3DS came out in 2011 and could barely surpass the then 15 year old N64.
Handhelds are always far behind home consoles because it trades graphics for portability and battery life. They have their place though.

The gameboy graphics looked great.
The only thing wrong was bad resolution, and poor light on earlier models. But with gold and silver the back sprites were full res, and colors helped a lot too. The pixel art was top tier, only rivaled by final fantasy and zelda, as with sound design, though music was a little less memorable from the first gen.

Not them, but unironically Gold and Silver are definitely the best. Some of the few games that did transitions between tiles smoothly and the sprites in battles are the sharpest of any game. And they only look better on the Color.

They werent the best compared to like other games on the GBC, but the games were new and novel so people didnt care too much. But now a days pokemon is on the switch and has to compete with games like Mario Odyssey and BOTW in terms of graphics and gameplay. Those both innovated on an old and tired formula with a lot of new shit but Pokemon doesnt look like it is really so people complain about what we do know, the graphics being meh.
