Personally I fond the 2d ones nicer, idk why bit pokemon look better in pixel art. That and modern pokemon has so many loading zones.
Tried to play sword abotehr day and damn so many loading zones,
That said I will admit things like signature moves look a lot better in 3d, its just loading times for crossing a bridge is uhhhhh
What I’m tryna say is I prefer the looks of pixel art Pokémon.
I prefer the gameplay of the 2D games but seeing Pokémon like in archeus and snap was very exciting.
I think Pokémon peaked at Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby, but to be fair, I was the prime target audience. I prefer this generation because it was 3D while still having the 2D gameplay feel. The mega evolution was still novel and consistent with the previous games. The new 3D games are so convoluted with the different Pokémon forms and moves. My preference is late 2D games (Black 2) and early 3D games (Alpha Sapphire).
I liked the 3d in gen7
Gen8 was stupid tho. Tf do you mean every bridge is a loading zone, this is the same system that ran botw
Late 2d - gen4 and gen5 - was the perfect balance IMO.
And speaking of bridges, compare a modern loading-zoned bridge with Skyarrow.
Absolutely, although ORAS was also pretty cool, I think
That’s skyarrow?
The 3D for sure. I love the original Pokemon games, but I think the best part of Pokemon is how awesome and wonderful the world is, and the feeling of exploring it, and that’s better in 3D. Despite their faults, I thought Scarlet and Violet were fantastic
I prefer the sprites as well. The pixel art had so much character and were well done (except for the rotation and scaling in gen 5). The modern models feel honestly kind of flat and simplistic. Hell, despite these creatures being like animals, there are no effects for scales or fur on their body.
In an alternate universe where Game Freak put more resources into the Pokémon themselves, we would have models like in Pokken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kFHvcOkPb8
Didn’t expect anyone else to remember pokken, used to love that game as a kid. Wow it sucked tho
I like both, so if I like a game depends on the individual game not on whether it’s 2D or 3D.
Of they were able to keep up with the graphics, probably 3d…
