They're fairly neat--vector/cel shaded style and Ken Sugimori's style are two different things and it isn't fair to compare the two. The Dream World style is meant to be flat-shaded to work with Flash rather than something meant to stand on its own (like in an art book). The vector art is also supposed to 'pop' out of the page where the backgrounds are made to look like a story book illustration, which it does. There was probably a limited color palette that the designers had to stick to (owing to the nature of the program) which might explain why the colors are so off on a number of the Pokemon.

There are a few neat poses in the Dream World art and I think it works for the medium. Personally I like Sugimori's art style better, but it's always interesting to see how other artists interpret the same designs with their own medium.

Flash does not have a limited colour palette - and neither does the SWF file format in general.

Yeah, I doubt they had a limited palette if the background has that many colors.

I was thinking web color swatches for some reason...hmm.

I love the Wobbuffet. :D
It's caption should be: WOBBUFFET! :)
Also, CASTFORM. Yay :D
And for some reason, Tirtouga looks surprisingly blue... I thought it had a grey shell?
Vanilluxe looks just like it's in game graphic :)

I mentioned this in someone's blog IIRC, but I love Jirachu's DW art. It's so adorable. :3 Lugia's is pretty epic too. :D

^ That is the Best DW Art there is, in my opinion that is.

I love how most of the Pokemon have different poses as to what we see in their sprites, such as Vuljina soaring instead of just sitting their; just gives them a bit more class. :)

 

[johnny18]

Dragonair and Kyurem looks awesome ^_^

 

[TheGoddessOfDiscord]

Azelf. I don't know why. Maybe the pose, looks a bit like an opera singer or an actor/actress.

Also Heracross. I didn't know it had wings!!

 

[MudkipBoy]

I like the Golem art, it looks kinda 3d

 

[Impo]

I've taken a shining to Mr Mimes DW art.c

Yes, that is one thing makes the artwork more interesting. Also beacuse it's not the usual Sugimori style, it's something meant to be different. I don't see why people should call the style lazy due to lack of shading/thick lineart; it's more-so a simple yet still effective style.

Super-Gurdurr begs to differ.​

All in all, I like the dream world art, as it gives us a new alternative to the seemingly-bland, Sugi Art. I especially like the light colors used in the DW art of many Pokemon.

I'd like to see a bit more discussion here, so I'm bumping it.

Anyway, I'm taking a liking to Hydreigon's DW art:

Spoiler:

It looks a lot more intimidating than its original art.

I actually totally dislike everything about that art work for Hydreigon :/ I don;t like how the tip of the tail and the legs are drawn and I don't like how the eyes of the two smaller heads are closed nor how the main head has no pupils. the belly is far too round also, but that is just me.

 

[Thingula]

It looks like there was very minimal planning in the design and the artists just went with the "Ehh. I'll improve as I go" motto. Some are great, but others.... Well... I did better than that when I was 10, messing around with Flash :P
