Has 3D changed your opinion of any old pokemon? (possible spoilers)
Has seeing the pokemon animated in 3D changed your opinion of them? Also is there any pokemon models or animations that surprise you?
Surprises for me would be Meditate (standing up), Sentret (not standing on it's tail) and the Hoppip family (helicopters) For some reason I didn't expect Hoppip to move like that, I thought it was a new pokemon when I saw its shadow. |
I really like the newer 3D models of the older Pokemon and if anything they have given me a better opinion on some of the old Pokemon. As you mentioned, seeing Meditite standing was a first and left me quite surprised. I liked it however despite the fact that it was very unusual.

I can say that overall I'm super surprised. I honestly didn't expect the graphics to be as great as they are. The trailers certainly didn't do the games justice in terms of their aesthetics. The games are just so pretty!
|
I knew these 3D graphics were going to look awesome based on pre-release footage alone. The mix of a cartoonish animation style with 3D graphics makes X and Y stand out from most other games on the 3DS. My thoughts might improve once I play the games myself but I'm hearing it's awesome based on others' comments.
|
In specific regard to the Pokemon modelling, I'd have to say for the most pat they look great! I love Heliolisk as well as Tyrantrum. The only thing I've noticed is my framerate drops a little when some of my bigger Pokemon are sent out to battle. But that's just me being my usual picky self. :p
Of course, I haven't seen what every Pokemon looks like yet and so I'll get back to you on that one. ;) |
I didn't expect the Pokemon models to be as smooth as they are, so it was a really pleasant surprise to see that. Between the smoothness, shading, and coloring, they all look wonderful.
When it comes to individual Pokemon, though, I've gotta admit that Electrike made me laugh. I didn't expect its head to be so narrow. There's just something about that evo line and weird-shaped heads. |
Dunsparce is cuter than ever, i had a weird attraction to i9t always but now it is sooooo cute.
|
For some reason I really like raichu a lot more with the new graphics. Zoroark seems weird though, not sure what about it exactly but something just doesn't seem quite right with it.
Zubats wings flapping so fast is amusing as well. |
I love the new 3d models, and i think they make me like each pokemon a bit more than before. Also, i was really surprised to see Salamance hovering, not standing on the ground and the fact that Sentret is not on his tail. Also, sentret seems really fat to me xD
|
The new 3D models are amazing!!
I actually see Combee as Bee's now. It used to look flat, merely due to sprites. |
The new animations show just how pitiful Magikarp is. All that humiliation and repressed anger probably has something to do with Gyarado's Mega forme being part dark type.
|
The animations are as good as I'd hoped they might be, and the models are very well done. As for old monsters specifically, their proportions can appear slightly different to what sprites might suggest, but that's not really surprising. Sentret however looks like a balloon and made me laugh.

Not really for me. You have to remember that this is NOT our first time seeing Pokemon as 3D models. Snap, Stadium, Stadium 2, Colosseum, XD, PokePark and Battle Revolution made it possible to see all the Pokemon from the first 4 generations in 3D, and a lot of 5th gen ones have also been seen in 3D with Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and PokePark 2.
|
i am talking about the pokemon i have seen so far in the game..Most of them are very very good but there are some pokemon i didn't like.For example Sentret is kinda fluffy...
|
i like 3d animation better then 2d pixel. when there in 3d they look more real they watch boring 2d pixel
|
on the older versions all though they werent as high quality graphics the pokemon all had more detail behind them, the coders of x and y had to remove most of the fine details because they couldnt work with it through the 3D 1 because they are undereducated and 2 they just plain round are **** thats why nintendo's sales on products in general are going under, they dont take constructive critisism and apply them to there games which they should, i like the 3D but more detail in all the pokemon would have made it a better game.
|
Yes actually most notably the Black and White Pokemon. Like seriously, in Black&White I didn't really like (or get) how some of them looked. But now it's much more clear and they look EPIC. Also I've found myself using Pokemon I use to never even use to give a chance.
A few examples of Pokemon that really changed my mind with their 3D models: *Pansage, Panpour, Pansear (Really surprised me because I HATED these with a passion in Black and White but I was actually tempted to use these in my Y playthrough.) *Raichu (I feel like they really made him look much more threatening and adorable at the same time if this makes sense. I use to think he looked awkward, now he looks epic.) *Crawdaunt, Roserade, Vileplume, Swanna, Snorlax, Haxorus, Crobat, the list could seriously go on forever. I'm just amazed at how beautiful these Pokemon look and I don't care what anybody says. Even the 'ugly' ones look fantastic. This is the first Pokemon game where I literally want to catch 'em all. |

It looks pretty awesome so far, I've never actually played games like battle revolution and such, so this was refershing and new to me.
If anything, hippodown actually surprises me, since as far as I can recall, I've never actually...seen its feet so I was surprised at what I saw, ahahaaha |
The last 3D Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Stadium 2 so maybe this isn't a new thing, but I'm definitely loving the different ways the Pokemon move and the personality in their animations. Like how Zizagoon's Tackle has it moving in a zig-zag pattern. Just really cute details. :3
|
Since I played pkmn Colosseum I was already relatively known with some 3D looking pokemon, but now seeing them on the 3DS and them having the same style of fainting/being called back as on pkmn Colosseum is really cool.
For some reason I really like zigzagoon in 3D |
Just saw a vileplume in 3d and it's made me appreciate it more since I can actually see its face. Some sprites of vileplume look really strange.
|
I hate to say it, but DAMN many of the 5th Gen Pokemon look amazing in 3D. I'm looking at you Garbodor!
|
In General, I absolutely loved how the 3D models for the Pokemon looked.
In particular, Hoppip's spinning leaves made me laugh, and both Dunsparce and Jigglypuff are absolutely adorable. Sentret looks a little bloated, and I'm not a fan of how Jynx and Zoroark look. I can't remember any other Pokemon that stand out in my mind. |
I think the whole 3d aspect brought new life into the game. It makes me feel more connected with my pokemon.
|
Zigzagoon running around before it attacks is so damn cute. One of the pokemon that I really love, Swellow always had that standing sprite and no wings flapping. Seeing it flaps it's glorious wing when I saw it during a Air Battle made me tear, I can't wait to transfer over my Shiny Swellow and see its wings flap like a real bird :')
|
Completely, i love all of the new pokemon designs and they all look great.
For example, i was having a tough time deciding whether or not i should evolve pikachu into raichu because of looks and how cute Pikachu was. But when i evolved pikachu i noticed just how amazing the new raichu looks (Trivial I know) And this is with all pokemon now. They all look great |
Crawdaunt looks better now in 3D. There are so many pokemon that have new life breathed into them with this new style.
The ONE reason I hated Samarott was because he didn't stand on two legs and wield Swords like his other forms. Then, In the Anime He CAN Stand on two legs and Sword flight. THAT ONE SPRITE RUINED HIM. I'm hoping the Model for samurott will have him draw his sword at least sometimes! |
