    I recently started playing Crystal on the 3ds as VC. And I immediatly noticed that the sprites of the enemy are animated. Why didn't they use this in S/R or FR/LG?
    It was up to 2005 with emerald that they used it again.
    I was just wondering, can someone give me an answer?
     
    The original Ruby and Sapphire, along with the Kanto remakes, despite moving to a new console, really felt like somewhat of a step backwards from Gen 2. Day to night was removed, animations, etc.

    It was only with Emerald did they finally utilize more features and possibly make the game they were always planning to. I don't know if it was to generate more hype for Emerald (as is typical with the standard third game), but yeah, that's how it happened regardless.

    Such things never went away thereafter.

    I can sort of get doing it for the Kanto remakes, to remain more true to the original games... but I really don't know the reason for sure. The most likely is to further generate hype for Emerald, so that's my guess. It is standard GameFreak mentality.

    Just realized R/S/FR/LG/E all used a new engine so guess that answers my question I suppose haha? Bet they put most of their time on renewing the graphics etc. :P
