Are the graphics of ruby saphire and emerald
BAD? I don't mean bad... As in not so great?
I mean compared to lg and fr
I think the graphics weren't that great...
Sure it had weather effects
And clouds reflections
But the overall detail to characters and buildings?
First off everyone is fat
Like what the hell?
Second some of the buildings and trees resemble gen 2?
This is not a bad thing... I like the building design in fr and lg
Pokémon center and mart looked awful.
Seriously... I mean it looks like crap...

What do u think?

RSE graphics were my most favorite, to be honest, haha. Their tiles, sprites, overworlds, etc. were all pretty adorable, and they weren't too brightly-colored, either. FireRed and LeafGreen ones were good, too, but I just don't like them as much; though, others might definitely find them to be better-looking.

I thought they were great, especially for that time. As the above poster said, I thought generation III had the nicest looking almost everything.

For their time they were excellent, but now not so much. Sure, they're still pretty good, but a bit outdated. Credit where credit's due, that water looks breathtaking for a GBA game.

I didn't see anything wrong about R/S/E's graphics. And, wouldn't FR/LG look a tad better anyway given that they're remakes?

They are not remakes of R/S/E, which is what he's comparing them to. And I don't think he's saying that there's something wrong with R/S/E graphics, only that FR/LG are better.

I used to think the same way too. But then I looked at the previous game, Pokémon Crystal. Only X&Y may have made a better graphic overhaul than RS. FRLG being based heavily on RS (there's still unused RS data in them) they obviously made better graphics as OW sprites were positioned so that you get a more overhead view. Only problem? We had to deal with giant heads ever since. And the rock and water landscape were pretty beautiful, to be honest.

Okay maybe its just me
But the pokemon center did look better in fr lg
You do realize that Ruby/Sapphire were released BEFORE Firered/Leafgreen? It's no surprise graphics were a bit enhanced.

I actually loved it a lot when the game first came out, it was a huuuuge step up from the Gen II games. I really like it, nothing bad about the graphics :)

RSE are my all time favourites for the Pokémon they introduced and the Hoenn Region. I do understand why people may dislike the graphical jump from Gen II to III, but for me they're legendary.

Since Sapphire was the second Pokemon game I ever played on a handheld, first being Pokemon Silver, I've always considered it to have gorgeous graphics. Big, big step up from generations one and two, definitely, and the battle system graphics brought the Pokemon to life. One of the best in the series, in my opinion.

To say none of them was bad. All were mindblowing. All were great. But i have to agree that fire red and leaf green was much harder and much better in graphics. Well the first R\S\E was made early. The FR\LG was a later development so you see. I think all gen 3 games a superb.

By comparison FR/LG definitely seemed like that had sharper, more vibrant colors and graphics, but I think the soft, patel feeling of RSE is why I prefer them so much more. To me it gives the games the whole "cute" aspect I look for in a lot of Pokemon games.
