I mean comparing artstyles in a Pokemon game to something as broad as realism vs. cubism is pretty ridiculous to begin with, considering neither end of the spectrum is particularly extreme. But in the screenshot posted, the character is generic and charmless and the environment, while a little more interesting, is rather poorly textured and the extremely vibrant colors clash with the very flat and muted colors of the characters.
I'm not saying a game with that general art style or those proportions couldn't look good, that particular instance just isn't doing anything special, it just exists. Were a Pokemon game to be made on ArcSys's engine, for example, the results could be absolutely stunning. Street Fighter IV is another example of a game with gorgeously styled characters.
