Priceless, right there
 
Alright...so...is this thread supposed to be "This is the best art in the anime" or "Which episodes have the best art"?
 
this is like "the worst anime art" a few threads below this, except the best (according to you). It is "the best art in the anime".
 
Good idea,most of the time the animation gets nagged alot.

I remember acientpower being animated quite impresive,with a energy projection of yanma's body being transformed in a ball.
 
Hikari looked pretty nice in DP 61. I'll try to find some good animation caps, I like this stuff.
Much of my favorite comes from Iwane (duh)
Hikari's eyes were done well here

Shinji (lol, why wouldn't I post him)
Nice shine usage
Well done profile
Shading
Shading again
Nice profile, but it looks almost out of place on him
Shading
Sensational Shading
Nicely done profile
And another profile I like (his eyes are like that because it was captured mid animation, he isn't high)

moar cappies!
 
Personally, I think any episode which either Iwane or Shimuera(I can't decide between the two) are animating has the best art. I mean just like at my avatar and sig for both of them.
 
The Roketto-dan training hoso special. God, it's so /gorgeous~/

The movies usually have pretty good art too.

Bwah, I don't know what to post though~
 
I think the openng themes of some of the seasons have some great art, particularly the Advanced Battle and Johto League Champions openings.
There was this one shot of Ash battling the the Regis and he does a little pose with an explosion behind that I thought was very cool.
 
The art has never been very good compared to other anime, but the best I think is the first episodes. I think DP has too bold outlines and the colouring is not so good. With the bold outlines they look more flat and 2D. And the attacks looks different today. They look, well, like Bubble, more beautiful. I think that works in a Contest but not in a Pokemon battle. So, I think the old attack animation is better, too. It looked more like attacks than Contest perfomance as in DP.
 
This one really stood out at it's time.

There's also this.

I swear there was a great-looking episode once that used a lot of thick outlines and a somewhat rough style, but I can't for the life of me remember which episode it was.

Not necessarily my favorites, just random ones in my folder that I liked.
 
The only thing I've really noticed are the eyes. I miss the style that was used around the beginning of Hoenn. The current style seems, in general, lifeless.
