Quality of Platinum sprites...
 
What do you think of them? It differs from sprite to sprite for me, but mostly I think the Platinum sprites are bad quality compared to the D/P sprites.
For example:
Buizel in Platinum is okay... it has a more dynamic pose as apposed to the more static pose of D/P, BUT I feel as if the detail and quality of the sprite is worse.
And Lickilicky in Platinum looks like it is going to tip over in my opinion.
And Glaceon in platinum has a more static sprite then in D/P AND is a worse quality.
These are only a few of my opinions.
What are yours?

The new Roselia sprite creeps me out, with it's pupil-less eyes. It was kinda freaky when I first saw it.

Elena June 19th, 2009 6:43 PM

Lol, yeah. I think they should have just left the eyes closed.

Mattysaurus June 19th, 2009 6:49 PM

The Pikachu looks weirder than the D/P one.

beauty. proletariat June 19th, 2009 6:56 PM

I love the new gym leader sprites <3


Also, (this counts as a sprite) the bit when the colored bar appears from nowhere with the leader's face is cool :D Good idea to extend it further then just for e4 lol

Shellos looks weird have you seen its smile. It has no teeth.

Monty Kensicle June 19th, 2009 8:26 PM

Shellos reminds me of Happy Snake.

Happy Shellos is happy.

Shellos looks really weird! I did't liked hippopotas and hippodon's new sprites. They looked better when their mouths were open:P.

Satoshi Ookami June 19th, 2009 11:39 PM

Some are good some are bad... overall I think they're cool and improved from the ones in DP

Ecks-Dee June 20th, 2009 12:27 AM

I think some of the new sprites are brilliant, but there is a few i don't like. Take Snover, for example. What have they done to the poor thing?? It looks kinda retarded now >.< Its eyes are way too close together.

Mitchman June 20th, 2009 12:34 AM

I like em all personally. Especially Pikachu's second frame.

Kagura June 20th, 2009 2:31 AM

I also love the new sprites.
However I have one small gripe. I don't like Gyarados's sprite, how it just jerks downwards after moving seems, meh. But overall I don't mind the new sprites at all. :)

Ayselipera June 20th, 2009 5:45 AM

I liked the new sprites especially for Glaceon, Gardevoir, and Froslass.

Zelda June 20th, 2009 9:33 AM

In my conjecture, the sprites are improved to be much better. The Diamond and Pearl sprites were alright, but with the new sprites in Platinum such as, Piplup, Chimchar and Turtwig, it was a lot more better looking. The only ones I seem to find looking 'clay-like' is Budew, Roselia and some others. Other than that, I like the difference in them compared to the Diamond and Pearl sprites. To me the new Pikachu looks a lot cuter than before as well. Piplup's face looks a bit flattened out in my opinion though.

... Maybe because it's a snail? =/

TheAliveTrain June 20th, 2009 3:25 PM

Check out Girafarig's new eyes. It looks like it is stoned.

sanny the hedgehog June 20th, 2009 3:30 PM

not as good quality as D/P, because when you run or bike it seems as tough the background cant keep up with you
but in a way they did look better

The Hero Without a Name June 20th, 2009 3:48 PM

The animations are (generally) much better in Platinum than they were in DP, especially the backsprite animations.

Finally some one notices it too! I see people say there better but really if you had shown me some of the more so/so ones with out telling me there official and Id think they were done by fans. Lets face it some are just not up to standard of even a GBA sprite. I get the feeling they may have rushed some of the sprites or not bother to revamp them.

Kung Fu Quagsire! June 20th, 2009 4:00 PM

Oh, I liked them in general. Most seemed to be improved pose-wise, but they seemed to have a little less detail and shading, sadface. I do have a complaint, though.

WTF DID THEY DO TO IT? ;____;
It looks severely overweight, it looks a little deformed, and the shading is just... no.

There is no excuse for these...I mean the combee I could maybe over look

dragonarche June 20th, 2009 10:58 PM

the pokemon platnum sprites look bad
hope fully they will have better looking sprites in heart gold and soul silver
They realy should make pokemon for the psp with hd sprites

JustinDestruction June 21st, 2009 10:56 PM

My opinion is that D/P/PT all look far too cartoonish. The sprites should be better, yes, and the are, but they are too much like a cartoon. Especially the 4th generation Pokemon. Back in the days of R/B/Y the sprites just looked so awesome. I mean, they weren't nearly as good as today, but the Pokemon don't look nearly as fierce. The games are still amazing, but I definitely prefer the older sprites.

For Platinum specifically, it appears that some were rushed, or that they were trying too hard to improve on what was already there.

Camisado June 21st, 2009 11:03 PM

I have to say I thought Magneton looked like a mediocre scratch sprite.

If you think Nintendo is handing it's second-biggest franchise over to Sony, you're quite delusional.

RYOUKI June 21st, 2009 11:38 PM
