pokemon should’ve kept this style and improved it

Its easy to say this now in hindsight, but if the first 3DS games had come out looking like this fans would have flipped their shit

I always felt like it should’ve went in the Octopath traveler direction, like a 2.5D kinda thing

I feel like we would've just complained about them giving minimum effort anyways for not wanting to jump Full-3D

The style sucks ass, so I’m glad they didn’t.

pokemon xy betas actually improved them but they got rid of the style art😭

Just imagine what Gamefreak could have accomplished if they still used it

Black and White blew me away when I played it. Miss it.

So HD2D basically

They did it with shining pearl but I feel they should do all the styles for variety

This style of game only makes sense on handhelds, the transition to 3d was inevitable unless they wanted to pivot to being phone games which nintendo would never allow

Y'all keep saying this but you'd be shitting on Pokemon a lot more if it never went 3D

Pokemon Moon on my 2DS was the last pokemon I truly enjoyed Sword and shield was alright Violet was fucking terrible experience Didn't even bother playing Z-A Pokopia was fun

I still think Pokémon would’ve done the whole pixel art like octopath style.

Nah, it should have stayed like this

When this first game out everyone said it was trash and they should switch to 3D open world.

The Black and White era for Pokémon, to me will all ways be where the peak for the games got to. I dont care what the sales say with the games that came after. None of the other games left an impression on my quite like Black and White. I'll Always have a spot in my heart for it.

fans hated gen 5 when it first released, now look what happened

Agreed. Black and White were the best Pokemon mainline games in existence. It had that perfect blend of pixelated gameplay and moving sprites in pokemon battles. Storyline was fire too 🔥

if nintendo/gamefreak developed a pokemon game that looked a lot like the octopath series, my life would be theirs… 🚬

I miss the old 2d sprite

sai do fake @Bostinha22v2

Kinda agree, having bit style had certain charm to it and they definitely focused more on the story and pokemon

I can handle 2D anime character sprites on 3D backgrounds.

The Unova games absolutely pushed the DS to its limit I think. It’s clear that Nintendo/Pokemon have no intention of making a true triple A HD 3D Pokemon game. We should just go back to this

Delete your account

Well maybe people shouldn’t have shat all over the games upon release

This was my least favorite one

I disagree. This style should live on for some spinoff series, but the current games just need a more pokemon anime looking style. I wish they looked less like models and more so actual living Pokémon, but that’s just my perspective

@amonarusaku

Ruined it with that corny ass song

idk it was kinda awkward how long they held onto 4-directional movement. Instead of finally making diagonal sprites for the characters, they're like "here you can walk in circles... by pressing left or right on your d-pad"

They did it improve on it, it's called Generation 6. They should have stuck with the chibified models and world, it was super charming and cozy.

Everything that came after is so embarrassing
