(Top row: gen 1,2, 3,and 4)
(Bottom row: gen 6,7,8)
Gen 5 had moving sprites. See the problem? Theres no more inovation after gen 6. They only improved the quality and shading. This worries me.

I'm fine if they don't want to significantly change the models. If that's how a Pokemon is supposed to look, don't try and fix what isn't broken.

But at least put some effort into changing their posture and stance, no? Why does Pikachu have to just stand there the same way every time? Why not have in crouching on all fours in an attack pose? Or whatever? I just want some variety.

this, you've done the model already so add some life and movement into it
most pokemon have like 2 animations, one for physical attacks and another for special

I feel like this was the time to make these changes. It would have been awesome if pikachu would crouch every now and then or had more animation. Even though it doesn’t look the same it just feels the same to me over and over

Yeah because a small indie company having to model 800+ models every gen sounds feasible. I'm surprised they haven't started a patreon for Sword and Shield.

Pokemon is one of the most profitable companies in the world. They make a ridiculous amount of money. If they wanted to they could

>trying to compare limited sprites to full 3D models with multiple attack animations
At least use a frame from one of those attacks to compare instead of the resting pose

How exactly should they change the model? The pokemon looks like it looks.
The idle animations need fixing

This may be one of the things I miss the most in Pokemon: anticipation to see new sprites of all your favourites.
At this point the only thing gen 8 can offer is fixing the fuck up caused by harebrained idea of Sky Battles and ground most flying Pokemon.

basically just the animations and colors across the board. so many pokemon are just standing around looking bored, and if its not that it's a flying type that was ruined by flying battles that only existed in XY anyway

This. People who complain about the models are braindead, the real problem is that they're so poorly animated.

I believe the reason most Pokemon have such garbage idle animations is because they were intentionally created to be as neutral and generic as possible so that they could be used for both battle and amie, rather than creating two different idle animations for both. This is why megas generally have much better, more lively poses since you can never interact with them in amie anyways. It was understandable for XY given the massive undertaking it must have been to model and animate 800 or so creatures but there's really no excuse for not creating better battle animations now that we're 3 gens into the 3D era.

The fact that they could do it doesn't mean they should. The models are perfectly fine and creating new ones every gen would just be a massive waste of time and money, what actually needs improvement is the animation.

>comparing 2D and 3D
Fucking dumbass. Once you hit 3D there's not much more you can do to make things look different as they've gone for a realistic representation of the Pokemon. 2D sprites don't move so they had to draw different poses and art styles to compensate for the limitations, not to mention that hardware improvements were more noticable on older consoles.
