I have one from my Black, and I totally kept her in my party because of this sprite, too! So cute!

Wailord looks real hilarious when you poke your stylus at him though, by the way :P

I hate how Haxorus looks in 3D. None of my friends see it but I think the Gen. V sprite is thinner, more armor-like, and overall more BA. The 3D model makes him seem like he cut loose and had too much comfort ice cream.

Hmm, not sure... I actually like Haxorus' model, to be honest! Used to think that it was a bug-type Pokémon due to its small sprite size, but thankfully, this was all sorted in X and Y. :]

I have always loved Umbreon in some way. And when my Eevee evolved, I fell in love again. Though when I went to Pokemon-Amie with it, it looked kind of arrogant to me or something. I just try to forget that :)

And Jynx was... well, even more Jynx.

EDIT: Oh, and some of the Pokemon I didn't know were flat really shocked me, like Anorith and Stunfisk.

My opinion didn't change at all with the 3D graphics, only looked a little better that's all.

Haha that's what my friends say too! I feel he just looks too... smoothed out and chubby. I do love Rayquaza's sprite though. Used to think he was really stupid looking because of how stiff and clunky he seemed but when I saw how fluid he actually moved, I thought it was cool. The still 2D sprite doesn't do Rayquaza any justice lol.

Most likely, I like the 3D graphics, only Eelektross is quite bad in my opinion. I like it better in B/W. Otherwise, I like everything else in 3D. :)

Yeah, Eelektross' model is a bit on the creepy side of things, haha. Would have been great if they had put a little more effort on that. d:

For the most part I've been really impressed with Pokemon's move to 3D. I always used to dread the day the games went this route, but now I can't imagine going back to static sprites.

And this is a great question. The new take on old pokemon has definitely changed my opinions about some and piqued my interest in them. Mawile, for one, the way it's turned around and looking back at you so you just see a peak of its cute face behind the giant jaws. I was also impressed by Volcarona all over again in X/Y, it's quite intimidating... for a bug.

Some impressed me less, of course. My Haxorous using Outrage looks ridiculous; its animation is way out of time with the attack, and he attacks with his head up and down as though attacking with his chin instead of side to side with his axe horns like you'd expect.

All the megas' animations look good that I've seen (no surprise that they'd spend a lot of time on their animations), like Mega Absol and Mega Ampharos getting serious and still as opposed to normal Ampharos that's bobbing weirdly side to side like a bowling pin.

Swellow seems a lot cooler than the other birds, seeing its wings drift on the wind as opposed to flapping.

I like how Hitmonchan is constantly bouncing between his feet like a boxer would. I kinda miss seeing Hitmonchan stand on his head.

Absolutely hate that Meditite stand on its 2 feet... I think it should be floating midair, with its legs crossed.

The fact that the Cyndaquil evolutionary line don't have their fire out by very, very conveniently fits the headcanon I have for my own Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion as it grew up, and so does the fact that Typhlosion gets on all-fours before using a fire type move. So many people dislike that its fire isn't always there, though, that I wouldn't be surprised if Gamefreak change it... Better enjoy it while I can. :)

I loved the 3D graphic overhaul because I thought battles in Colosseum, a three-dimensional pokemon game, were much more endearing and aesthetically pleasing than in the main series. Naurally, I was ecstatic upon seeing how similar X and Y's battle system looked. However, the older games haven't lost any potency, and in some cases are superior to the models of some pokemon in generation VI.

It hasn't changed my opinion too much, though I must say that Torkoal's cloud looks horrific. It's this pixelated disaster that is simultaneously in three dimensions and just looks bad. They should've removed the pixel lines from it.

Also, not a fan of Archeops. It looks a lot fatter and less... aerodynamic than it did in B/W.

Other than that, I prefer them in 3D. I can't really imagine finding Braixen as adorable as I do had I first seen it in sprite form. And a lot of things just look cuter now that they're more... touchable. Especially in Amie. Looking at things like Fennekin and Victini make me want to snuggle hugs. *_____*

I didn't like Eelektross before but now in 3D I love it.. Most people hate that it's floating but I love it..

If only it was a little bit faster :(

MUK looks awesome in 3D.

Samurott's Sword is Awesome.

Tropius looks like he weighs 500 pounds and never touches the earth.

Flying Pokemon should Land on the field when they use Roost, as it does have an effect in-game, they loose Flying type for a turn. But know one would know that without looking it up.

People (including me) usually forget that Tropius could fly, so maybe that's why they made its model hover in the air? Personally, I love it; looks very unique. :]

I don't think it's that, it's probably because of Sky Battles that most Flying-types have models depicted as flying in the air. Even stuff that I'd never saw flying in their old sprites such as Xatu and Skarmory.

Ya know, I really do like the way Black Kyurem looks in X/Y...



But I kinda miss its animation from Black2/White2:


IDK, I just like that for some reason. It doesn't move much now in Gen 6.

Ah, okay, never knew that! I think it would have been great if there were separate sets of model for each sky and land battles; that way, I'm sure people would have liked it more. Not really sure how much extra work that would have been, but it would be worth it in the end. =)

It made me pay more attention to pokés that I hadn't really noticed as much before, like Furret and Glaceon and I'm sure there were others as well, just because the animation was either really intricate or dynamic :)

Not really. I've just accepted the style. I do hope they neaten it up a bit for OR/AS though.

I've just seen the sprites for the Cyndaquil line online and I feel so alarmed haha, I don't know why cause in the anime that's what they look like but I guess seeing them like that in the games kinda makes you pay more attention to what they ACTUALLY look like, if that makes any sense whatsoever lol :) I do like the way their fire comes out when they attack though :)

I honestly can't think of a specific example, but 3D has taught me that a lot of the bird Pokemon must use magic to stay up, because it's definitely not that weak flapping (or lack thereof in Skarmory's case) that's keeping any of them up.

It's through the 3DS models that I was able to realise how huge Vileplume is lol - I always thought it was a teensy dainty petal creature but I was battling one in X there and it completely dwarfed the members of my team lol :)

Mr Mime, I used to think he was a kind of boring Pokemon, but then I saw him moving in 3D :|
Holy crap he creeps me out!
