This. Graphics were limited back then, but limitations give rise to innovation. A lost art in today's gaming climate.
These games are so annoyingly ugly. The character and Pokemon models are fine, but the environment looks like absolute fucking garbage due to the lack of a solid art direction, often times clashing with the borderline anime-aesthetic of the creatures and characters themselves.
They got the environment so right with Gen VI and especially Let's Go only to fuck it all up. To say nothing of frequent texture warping or pop-in, even on the Switch 2.
