>>51116113What you posted is an attempt to recreate the real world with no regard for aesthetic quality or stylization, leading to an uncanny valley at worst, and a reminder of the ugliness of reality at best.
The newer Pokemon characters are characters that could've been designed by someone who's never even seen a real human and made a design based only on other anime characters.
Gen 1 designs are a happy medium. Grounded in reality somewhat, but with the ugly edges sanded down.
