Megas and triple battles were the best battle gimmicks ever done and it's extremely sad they were thrown away due to Pedohmori's retardation.
Even with a lot of basegame ZA's Megas looking like utter fucking dogshit, I really love a lot of the new batch, I am so glad mons I like and love like Scovillain, Golurk, Golisopod, Tatsugiri, Delphox and Dragalge.
I'm still really hurt over how utterly dogshit Mega Feraligatr was as a gatr tard however.
Also where did you find these sprites? Was it on Pixvi? I've been looking a spritepack for the new Megas for a bit.

It's amazing how much better some of these megas look when put into sprite form
Almost like the series should attempt an HD-2D styled game

>it's amazing how much better the things look when presented in the style of my childhood. Almost as if my nostalgiafaggotry wants them to go back to sprites"
Fixed that for those not hilariously autistic.

Xatu is a bird based on a totem pole. Should it be standing on the ground? Or should it be flying in the air, ruining the point of the original design in the process?

Ultimately, we'll have to see how they choose to present it in Gen 10 (hasn't been in a game Game Freak made for Switch), but I would heavily guess they'll treat it like they do the birds in Gen 9 and have it on the ground at select points and flying around in others, because it's not actually a totem pole but a bird that imitates one at certain times. The limitations of the early Gens are writ in both the interviews of the events of the era with GF staffers AND from the various doc thefts we've gotten over the years (leaks are insiders giving out info, outsiders taking info is theft). That extends to choosing to depict something in a particular way due to being unable to make more than 2 frames of animation to show vitality. It's your problem you were unable to grasp the concept of a Flying type pokémon, that could learn HM02 Fly from debut was somehow unable or unwilling to fly as a means of locomotion.

That Raichu X's face is so fucked. Would've been a better idea to sprite it flying in the air in order to keep details while maintaining sprite size limits.
Honestly, a lot of these look off, but I guess that's the issue when things are created with 3D in mind now and not sprites...which really was a big turning point in Pokemon design.

The person who made these has no idea how to make good looking sprites and they just lazily traced over all the models

It’s an objective fact some anons refuse to accept
No matter how putrid a design is, the charm of pixel art style would make it more pleasing to the eyes

Not all of them. I'd actually say a lot of them are actually pretty solid designs.

I'd legitimately argues that the Mega Dimension set specifically is probably a stronger design set than any of the individual ones before it despite having far fewer designs than any of them at only 19. The only one there I'd call outright poor is Tatsugiri (and even then the design itself is alright because Tatsugiri's alright).
The rest range from mediocre but inoffensive (Zeraora, Absol Z) to legitimately awesome (Golisopod, Golurk, Staraptor, Crabominable). It doesn't reach the highs of Mega Metagross, Mawile, or Drampa but it also doesn't have abysmal dogshit dragging it down like Mega Aerodactyl, Manectric, or Pyroar.

How do you take a concept as cool as Mega Evolution and fuck it up at every single subsequent implementation of it? Even some of the Kalos designs were butt ugly.

Megas are a mid gimmick, they’re effectively restricted pokemon without actually using restricted pokemon.

Stop shilling. It's still something you have to look at while playing the game, don't be an idiot.
