how did we go from this...

... to this?

Even the outfits match the time periods

To this?

Sword and Shield had the best pokemon artstyle and normies who hate anime ruined the series pivoting it into western slop.

it peaked at BW2 for me.

take off shoes

>>723560027
what the fuck is wrong with you?!

>>723560530
You are most likely right, but imagine how normies would cry out if they still used the kino pixel art instead of moving towards unreal engine slop like they want them to

why is a bird pooping on her face while she sleeps?
that's nasty

Honestly outside of the absolute turbo ass overworld I have to agree, I think Sword and Shield's character design is the best in the series and the recent semi-realistic look they've been trying since Scarlet/Violet just doesn't hold a candle to SwSh

>>723560763
imagine if they spent the budget hiring SNK team that made KOF13 sprites?
I guess in another timeline, they kept the pixel artstyle as a core identity to Pokemon.

This image summarizes very well why I always go with the default character and never cutosmize them in videogames, no matter what you do, it will end up looking like a generic NPC if you diverge from the one designed for the promotional material

Meanwhile if you wanted to play as a boy your customization options in XY was like this

>>723562393
I actually restarted the game to play as the FeMC because the outfits for guys were so shit. Very worth it.

is the gen 10 protag also a young adult or another 10 year old brat like Scat/Vomit's?

Based short parka

I thought "it couldn't be that bad" when I first started playing but it just got worse and worse the longer the game went on.

>>723560341
>Sword and Shield had the best pokemon artstyle
Agreed
>and normies who hate anime ruined the series pivoting it into western slop.
No, they just retardedly change the artstyles every single gen. Nothing can be worse than the shitty clay Pixar models Gen 9 uses, so I'm looking forward to Gen 10.
Can't even play SV/PL-ZA because the artstyle is just so fucking ugly.

You know, I was thinking I didn't like the art style. There's just something about it that I don't find appealing at all.

This is the last game I played as a boy because I was scares of getting made fun of in school

>>723564107
I played it once as a boy and after that as a girl, I was having a lot of fun and showed how I was customizing my character to my female schoolmates. They all sussed my agp out.
