>>40671486Agreed. I'm certain the main reason for the outright hatred of Intelleon is because of the model; it's like when Pearl was shown for Splatoon 2, everyone immediately loathed her but now that we've seen what she looks like in 2D most people are fine with her.
It's really obvious that a lot of post-gen-6 designs have the fact that they're in 3D in mind; with 2D sprites you can have plenty of details like jagged fur or uneven anatomy, but in 3D you're forced to actually model all of those things. 3D is easier in the long run, but the point is that 2D makes it easier to display a design. If you have a flaw in a 3D design it's not gonna go away until you remake the model.
