It's not that I don't like the FR/LG graphics, but I think it'd be odd to go from good graphics to okay graphics. Also, it'd be a little strange for people who have been playing D/P/Pt a lot.

It Wouldn't really matter to me.

I think the D/P/P graphics were a great improvement, they look very good in my opinion. Sure, I needed some time to get used to it but they were better than the 2 dimensional ones from adavanced gen (especially R/S/E looked bad imo).
I'm very satisfied with how it looks.

I kinda liked the 3-D graphics especially in the Distortion World in Platinum.

Sakura Rain July 12th, 2009 6:29 PM

It'd be nice if they used the DPPt graphics, but made them look more natural. You know, not have the trees look like big green blobs like in D/P. Platinum was a lot better, IMO. I really don't care, as long as we get the games.

Cornelius July 12th, 2009 6:37 PM

I would prefer 3-D graphics. They look nicer and show for more modern graphics. They wouldn't look as nice on the DS than they would on the PSP, but I still prefer 3-D graphics to 2-D, though I still like my RPGs as 2-D for some reason.

IcyArceusRider July 13th, 2009 7:37 AM

I like the 3D Diamond and Pearl graphics, but I do hope that in HeartGold and SoulSilver they make it just a little more colorful.

Pokestick, good times. July 13th, 2009 9:17 AM

I liked FrLg a lot, especially graphics, but Diamond/Pearl did a pretty nice job too, even though you can easily see mappin/programmin' mistakes that Game freak did, and that makes me feel that those games are unstable. The graphics themselves are OK, but just too cartoonish at some points... Platinum did a better job, but HGSS is a big stage ahead of all the others so far. I just hope I get that unstable feel again...

*I voted Both, BTW*

I already like the HGSS graphics better than the FrLg ones. (Although it's easier to sprite the FrLg overworlds, the HGSS graphics show more detail and the sprites look a lot better.) I prefer the graphics they have now.

Are you saying you've already hacked D/P/Pt? I'd really like to find a Map Editor for 'em...PM me if you know anything else. I'd really appreciate it!

Doxasikyrie July 14th, 2009 11:56 AM

I much more prefer the graphics from the 4th generation. It does not make sense to me why there would be FR/LG graphics on a Nintendo DS. It's only natural that the graphics should improve with each generation. :D

:3 July 14th, 2009 12:03 PM

I love 4th generation graphics.
3D is neat.

Haza July 14th, 2009 5:02 PM

LGFR was good for its time but its 2009 and time to move on to better thing.

alyssa marie July 14th, 2009 8:49 PM

As long as it looks good, I don't care. I liked both FR/LG and D/P's graphics.

Katana Master July 15th, 2009 7:29 AM

I would preffer Firered/Leafgreen and that it was on the GBA. Because my DS sucks ass, and my GBA is in perfect condition :p

ShinyMeganium July 15th, 2009 7:31 AM

Play Liquid Crystal/Shiny Gold if you want FRLG graphics. After having all the 493 Pokemons, and all the new moves, the DS graphics will be the main reason i`ll play it.

mew² July 15th, 2009 7:33 AM

I do not know which one I like more. D/P sprites look tacky just a little bit but its 3D. And for the older GBA games, lack of 3D, but not so tacky sprites.

Sweet Smoochum July 15th, 2009 9:35 AM

These are the graphics I prefer: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g147/KartWheelyGirl/Coolestpicsever.png

(Here's an example of how Johto would look with FrLg graphics. To see, open the spoiler. I made Mahogany Town using FrLg graphics (cred goes to spriters-resource for tiles and also, b/c I didn't make the interior of the building.)

EJ July 15th, 2009 12:09 PM

I would have picked either but unfortunately I didn't play FireRed/LeafGreen a whole lot.

Doxasikyrie July 15th, 2009 12:23 PM

I am very impressed with HG/SS's graphics so far. However, I have one quibble, some of the grass looks goofy. It looks like curly hair! LOL

Ashje July 15th, 2009 7:23 PM

I'm not too picky, but I like the DS graphics over the GBA ones. I honestly don't care though.

No, GymLeaderLily is not saying that she has hacked D/P/Pt. She wasn't even implying it. She just said that it's harder to sprite the 3-dimensional graphics. Also, no, there are no map editors for D/P/Pt.


Well, I'd definitely prefer the 3D graphics of D/P/Pt and especially HG/SS. It adds a new feel to the games. As long as the graphics aren't bad (which they obviously aren't), then I'm fine with it. Even if the graphics are bad, the game is still playable.

This is what I hate when people talk on a product that hasn't even come out yet. You get so many complaints, but at the end of the day, the company knows what will work best and what will sell most. You should learn to trust what they are doing and step into the future. The games have the DP graphics for a reason, as they work best currently

Red Totodile July 17th, 2009 2:05 AM

If it were GBA graphics, they would have made them for GBA and not for the DS, I like both styles, but I think the D/P/P graphics ar better, cause the maps can look more beautiful then, and kinda more new as the GBA graphics.

Red July 17th, 2009 2:28 AM

I think this thread somehow has no meaning. All of us are Pokémon fans, and except for the rare few, we will still play the new games regardless of graphics.
However, if you think on a broader scale, outside of loyal fans, then you will realize that there would be very different responses than the ones from people posting here. For example, if when they made the new DS Pokémon games, they used FireRed/LeafGreen graphics, many people would complain. Fans would still play the games, but many others who aren't fans might have less reason to play them. When they make new games they have to consider drawing new fans in, so they try to create graphics that best suit the console they're working with.

In this case, they moved to the DS which has better graphical capabilities, and thus took advantage of those capabilities. I think they feel, however, that they couldn't have went fully 3D, because that would feel somewhat foreign to veteran fans of the series. So, the game has mostly 2D graphics, with the 3D perspective rolling effect on the overworld sprites, and 3D level graphics.

I like the direction they took with the move to the DS. I'm always open to improvements in graphics, and in my opinion, they improved them. I never liked their 3D rolling effect, because it makes the sprites look pixelated, and they should be anti-aliased on top of having that effect to remove the pixelation.
I'm actually glad they kept those graphics for HeartGold/SoulSilver, because I've taken a liking to them.
I just wish they had kept Kris from Crystal instead of completely replacing her with someone else. (I think they don't like blue hair. :P)
