>>51350055>why are you comparing sprites with 3d?Not that anon, but the comparison is that sprites had the excuse to be cheap while 3D unironically doesn't. It's like comparing FF1 to FF7, because I don't think it would have panned out well if the characters didn't physically assaulted their foes with direct attacks.
3D for Pokemon happened way back in gen 1, but full realization of capabilities were developed with PBR, with the pokemon moving towards foes to attack them physically.
Ever since then though, it's been complete dogshit. PLA was a soft "return to form," but it was more or less "pokemon quickly dashes and attacks."
People realize how fucking jank a lot of this shit is, and it's why Pokemon is mocked for not even being a sub-par franchise in the 3rd dimension.
Pokemon is shit in 3D. Simple as.
Cry about it.
