love ;o;
 
i'm in love with crystal sprites. they're so unique and the animations are simple, but show off the pokemon's personality.

lickitung does look great! I really like it in the above sprite <3

sprites were quite dynamic back in the day compared to 3d models, can see for mons like milotic:

tbh i miss the sprite work. the 3D models we've had since gen 6 are kind of bland. the colors were really washed out in gen 6 iirc too. i feel like the sprites being static models that couldn't move (sans quick animations until gen V) made developers want to make sure they stood out more. so a lot of pokemon that, to me, had a bold statement when they were sprites now look very dull and even...boring in comparison. just a few examples:

a lot of the bird pokemon really got the shaft, like the ones that just float in the air like skarmory and xatu. and then hitmontop...hitmontop sweetie i am so sorry... don't get me wrong he has a sweet dance gen 6 and beyond but like...they fucked him up bad lmfao.
 
@syd... so much yes. i really miss them, and replaying old pkmn games is always so pleasant! 3d models are the future, but the sprites we got were just too good.

i mean, when will we ever get to see ivysaur sit (and show his feeties) except in rse??
