^ Typhlosion has flames. They appear when you're battling. I like Typhlosion better that way!

Now that Pokemon Bank is out, and transfered some of my Pokemon, I can say that Sceptile looks so good!! It's definitely my favorite Grass type Pokemon!!




Kingler is smaller than I expected!

I remember battling Xerosic sometime and he used a Crobat and my reaction initially was "whoa that is one huge bat".

Yeah, Crobat is like really big when seen in battle in this game. Although I'm not happy that he uses his wings to perform the move Bite, it's like how Charizard uses its tail when using certain physical moves that aren't even tail-based.

And for those who said Excadrill is a midget, I agree with you now.

I didn't think Bidoof could be cute.
Until I obtained one in X.

3) An official Pokémon game, following the standard "gotta catch 'em all" format, but aimed more at the older players.

I have to agree with anyone who said Swellow, Salamence, Tropius or Skarmory.

Having them hovering like that (which seems to be the case for a lot of Flying-types) just makes them look really weird in comparison to their old sprites depicting them standing.

Whimsicott on the other hand, is now even cuter than she's ever been.

I used body slam on Stunfisk for the lulz.

Seriously though, "3D" Stunfisk is kinda ridiculous.

Lugia's posture is so awkward...



And Regirock looks like he's wearing a diaper.

I think the worst example of this is Bulbasaur.... (or was it Ivysaur?)
Tackle uses vines that appear from the bud on it's back
Vine Whip does a Tackle type thing!



I think White Kyurem has been improved HUGELY in 3D, looks much less Frankenstein!
Black forme also looks badass!

It bothers me that Wailord is smaller than Vileplume. In fact, how small it is in general.

Wailord was definitely depicted massive in the console 3D games but I think they had to scale it down here due to limitations.

Speaking of Vileplume, that thing definitely surprised me, it's way bigger than I first pictured it to be.

I actually haven't noticed it at first, but now that you mention it, yeah, it does look as if it's wearing diaper. XD The way it's standing is pretty... strange. As for Lugia, I think it would've looked better if it were actually flying.

I'm guessing we're supposed to presume that it's just further afield, and that it's being smaller is simply a result of perception.

Obviously, they couldn't keep scale on many 'mons. Wailord to scale would pretty much just require seeing one of its fins poking through into the bottom of the screen.

Ah, okay. I've never seen Lugia's actual model before, but if this is the case, it's definitely a lot better. :]

Raichu doesn't look as fat anymore that's one of my favorite things about the 3D but they screwed up Delphox she looks better in 2d. And shiny Gallade is darker than his usual sprite.

I don't really like how big Porygon looks when you get it from the GTS or something, haha. When the swap bit occurs, it's as lengthy as Groudon, or Blastoise etc. And Porygon-Z looks smaller... ;-;

I was quite sure Porygon was supposed to get smaller as it evolves (Just like any new system/ control etc.).

For the most part i love the 3d, especially the animation of flying types!
One Pokemon that really weirded me out was Sentret. First of all he is way fatter than i thought and secondly, he doesnt balance on its tail!!

Amen. I played with my Cinder SO much when I was playing HeartGold. I thought something was wrong when I first him transferred him over.

Also, I agree that Purrloin just looks weird standing up on two legs.

It has it's ups and down.

Pokemon sizes can be confusing,
funny or learn you something new.

Magikarp in general, I feel bad for the little fish.
Not even Gamefreak is taking him seriously.

And I never use the 3D function...
It can give me such a headache.

The visuals for the rest are beautiful.

I love the 3d models. i love even the overworld 3dness.. so much so that when I try to replay Fire Red, B/W, B2, I can't stand it anymore.. it looks so dull and flat :|

also i hate being stuck on a grid in previous gen now that I am spoiled by the freedom of 360 degree movement in X&Y with the skates and bike.

I tried really hard to replay Black 2 back in December after 2 months of playing Pokemon X (I wiped my save) and after a few hours i couldn't stand it anymore and had to put it down and never touched it again other than for Pokemon Bank purposes... Also the music, battle effects, etc are also unappealing in Black 2 as compared to X&Y.
