Miss the 2D Graphics Yet?

Trust me i had the animal crossing DS, the first one that came out. And I couldnt keep the dayum 3d on because of strain.

I would like the 3D models somewhat more if they weren't still a lot less saturated than Gen 4/5's cute and colourful sprites. The SM ones are an improvement over the essentially greyscale XY models, but it's still not on par with sprites in terms of colour brightness or depth.

I'm fine with either but I do miss the style from HG/SS. It was so... personalised. It looked genuinely very great.

HGSS's graphic style was a masterpiece really. I hope we'll see something similar to it again.

I've now gotten used to the 3D that it would feel weird for me to suddenly go back to the 2D graphics. Sprites were more brightly coloured than the 3D models, but the 3D allows for more realism so it's equal.

I mean, that's subjective. I'd prefer bright colours to realism in this case, haha.

I do miss the old sprites, especially from D/P and B/W. As some stated before me, the sprites were more vibrant in those games, while the 3D models seem very pale. I noticed this with some of my shinies, which disappointed me greatly. I think the 3D models would have looked better if they were as dark as the 3D models from Colosseum and XD. I could be remembering wrong, but I recall really liking the 3D models of the Pokemon from those games.
