Modelfags will defend this.

>>58118767 (OP)
Both look like shit

It's not neccesarily the fact that its 3D, its that for whatever reason the modern pokemon models look like shit.
Look at Hitmontop. In the N64 he actually stood on his head, now in nu pokemon he just awkwardly hops around rightside up

Play the games, dumbass.

>>58118767 (OP)
right still better than gen5 sprites

>>58118767 (OP)
No, but they will defend this.

Gen 3 sprites were the worst ones, they shouldn't be used as examples. Gen 5 doesn't count being animated in such a dumb way

>>58118813
what's the point here

>>58118825
least obvious johtardler

>Modelfags will defend the Pokemon looking better and more accurate
uh…yeah?

>>58118767 (OP)
what's the point of making this blatant genwar thread?

Hi zoomies!

>>58118782
>Malding 2dcuck cant accept their low effort 2d sprites are as shit as the low effort pooltoy models

>>58119163
Right looks better

>>58118767 (OP)
I don't even think the models are that bad on their own. They're just not animated or posed in an interesting way. They look like statues in most fights

>>58119168
nta but this looks stupid

>>58119221
It really doesn’t. Left benefits greatly from the pixels giving him a rugged look. When you smooth out his body, he looks gangly.

>>58119213
they're not as shit, just sprites' color composition just wrecks washed up lifeless 3d models
the only thing models have for them are the pokemon-amie 3ds animations, but even then, gamefreak are retarded enough not to reuse them.
BW were on the right track, but DS resolution was too bad for a good execution

>>58118767 (OP)
Man they really did Hitmonlee dirty. And why the fuck is every single model desaturated now? Most shinies look like absolute shit because of it.
>>58118781
Yeah the issue is that they barely animate the models. They all sit in a bland, idle pose and still just slide around when attacking like they did when they were static sprites.
>>58118813
>shit pokemon design looks like shit in both 2D and 3D
>>58118825
I love Gen 3 but I think they can be hit or miss depending on which game you're talking about. Pretty much every Kantomon has a way better sprite in FRLG than in RSE

Left only looks better because they aren't moving. BW era sprites were the worst they've ever done.

(Thing) bad
Laugh

>>58119264
it's the most imposing tyranitar sprite ever made; you just don't like the mon or you want it to look like a docile bath toy like the rest of johto's dex

>>58119204
bw/2 is *the* zoomer game

>>58118825
I disagree

>>58118767 (OP)
>gen 3 sprites used as the example
>gen 2 Hitmonlee
Why?

>>58119281
>Pretty much every Kantomon has a way better sprite in FRLG than in RSE

>I love Gen 3
no, you don't

>>58118767 (OP)
Hit monkey looks I’ll.

>>58119428
you don't just disagree, you're objectively correct
gen iii / rse sprites are nigh the best in the series

>>58119281
>Yeah the issue is that they barely animate the models. They all sit in a bland, idle pose and still just slide around when attacking like they did when they were static sprites
Try actually playing the games instead of staring at Pokemon Showdown videos, retard.

3D Politoed is cute, this post is terrible.

>>58118813
their fault is assuming that its bipedal
let it skulk on 4 limbs and watch the praise roll in

>>58118767 (OP)
How well does Chansey translate from 2D to 3D?

>>58119421
It has his neck broken

>>58118781
>he just awkwardly hops around rightside up
He does a Capoeira dance, which is the thing he's based on. He still spins to attack.

>>58118767 (OP)
Pikachu is better. And Hitmonlee is fine too.

>>58118781
>models = animations
Why do so many retards keep making this mistake in Pokemon discussion?

>>58118813
right looks like its made out of foam

>>58118767 (OP)
Politoed will always look stupid

>>58120312
pretty well

>>58118767 (OP)
Gen 3 Pikachu looks like shit. The only reason I like sprites more is because of the more vibrant colors.

>>58118767 (OP)
I cant think of a single pokemon that looks better in 3d

>>58121556
#notmypikachu

>>58121603
Zoroark maybe?

>>58121556
The colors were more vibrant because they were made for GBA screens, no backlight and all. They didn't actually look like this on their hardware.
