>sharper spikes>arms look like the real arms >steadier/more balanced pose>design has more depth, layers and is more 3d-like>Colouring with actual shadows and shade.>Claws are sharp.I will say it looks like dumb though, like it's retarded, I can it imagine it making a retard noise at any second. Looks quite good in game and in animations though.
Right
>spikes and claws look dull and and blunt>rounder shape overall>arms look flabby and point straight out, looks like a plush>almost no layers or depth at all>colours are washed out and bland>weak pose, doesn't look like it could stand>limbs look like they were slotted in, instead of actually fitting on the body>fatter>barley, if any shading/shadows, almost the same exact shade all around the bodythis iteration looks less "stupid" but it also looks mindless. It looks like it was designed to be a plushie, that's most likely the intention too, Pokémon is a lot less souless now.
This design also doesn't look horrible, it looks okay in game as the animations bring it to life and give it character, and I would say neither is objectively better, but the design choices on the older one makes more logistical sense. That is my opinion.
