I don't like how Typhlosion's face looks, with it standing up just looks weirder than the normal (well, normal before 2014) 2d sprite.

I can now say that Cradily is ADORABLE.

I just evolved my Lileep into one, and I never, ever knew that its eyes were the little yellow dots inside the black. I always thought it was empty-blind with the pattern on the top of its head being its eyes; I dubbed it an ugly Pokemon as soon as I saw it in Gen III.









I am in love.

Vileplume is apparently based on this flower, the Rafflesia arnoldii. It's the largest single flower, which probably explains Vileplume's pretty big size. I have to admit I had the same reaction as you when I saw it in-game, but at least now you know why it's big.

Mr. Mime's animation is one of my faves of the 3D models, I actually like him better than I did before just because I love that animation. It really captures the image of mimes doing the whole invisible wall hand movement like what's shown in Mr. Mime's animation.

I miss sprite based a bit. The Zelda-ish overworld was cool too.

Is it just me or did Jolteon's face become ugly in these games?

also I dislike Mega-Zard X's flames that come out of it's mouth (although I don't think this is fully relevant to the topic as there is no sprite Mega-Zard X, I'm just saying I don't like that part of its model's design). Typhlosion looks silly now IMO. I actually like how Swellow, Skarmory, Xatu all stay airborne (think there are other birds that do this but I can't think of them).

I'm very happy about that, haha. Some Pokémon can't be identified that they're flying-type because of them staying on-ground, and this fixes it.

I love how they gave pikachu his anime cry. Was a cool surprise. I also love how when lapras uses surf it actually is Lapras in the water with you on its back, makes for a neat image!

The 3D has changed my opinion on the previous DS games (sinnoh, heartgold, black/white) to the point where I don't play them anymore. I can't, its like a mental block now.

Oh, I've never realized that, either! Have seen this Pokémon in anime before, but don't think I've payed much attention to notice that kind of stuff; would have thought of it differently if I did, haha.

Although it doesn't say its name, they changed Raichu's cry as well!

And the 3D hasn't changed my opinion at all. I like the 3D graphics; they are great. But I think actually prefer the old graphics. Not sure why, maybe it is nostalgia.

I didn't know that, Thanks.

I will never stop playing the originals but the 3D animations as I said has ruined the DS games for me, I just can't go back to them now.

I'm not a big fan of how a female Raichu's tail isn't pointed. It looks like someone clipped off the point of her tail. I do, however, like the female Pikachu's tail.

Omg, I didn't even notice that. They really added a lot of little extra details.

I love that little touch, giving the Unown forms different animations with their models. I always feel like not every form difference is treated that way which feels like a shame to me.

Gender differences to Pokemon have existed since 4th Gen, that's stuff like female Pikachu having a heart-shaped dent in its tail or certain Pokemon having a body part being bigger or smaller or in the case of the Hippopotas line, a different color.

The DS games don't look all that awful, but it's definitely awkward going back to games like Black and White because of how different the new generation has made the games. It was a pretty dramatic jump if you ask me. For some reason, though, the GBA games don't phase me. :P

Pidgeotto was drawn as a sprite in the classic games - in X and Y it adopts a more natural pose.

The 3D greatly gave justice. Besides Pokemon Colluseum (which for the most part utilised old models from the N64 Stadium game) this was the first story-based Pokemon game to boast a fully 3D battle environment. The animations are smooth - a lot better than I expected. The models are also very well done (and hence I enjoyed playing around with the Pokedex feature.)

I think Pidgeotto looks ugly. It looks like an old lady trying to climb up the stairs. lol



Pidgeot looks nicer



But still, I think they could've done them better.

How can you not love Spinda's drunken idle animation?



Guess it's pretty fitting given it ties into the fact it learns lots of confusion-inducing moves and has abilities based around confusion. God I just love how much more hilarious Spinda got in this game.

If it were me, one thing I'd do is perhaps texturize its body a little more; that way, its feathers would be easier to view, causing Pidgeot to possibly look more realistic.

I was at the Pokemon Village. I was fishing. Then a Poliwag arrived. It's nose moved really weirdly. Then I realise... "ALL THIS TIME IT WAS A MOUTH!?!" Now I think Poliwag look's creepy somehow. And that was the story of Adam and the Poliwag.

Side note, I reeeaaaally don't like how Pikachu said it's name now. I don't like how the Pokemon in the Anime say their name. I don't like Pikachu. Make it go away. :(
