As many people know, the graphics in the Pokémon games have been constantly improved and updated throughout all the various generations.
Some people still prefer the sprites, some others love the models, some others would like to see how newer Pokémon would look like with the “rougher” designs.
In this thread, you can discuss and comment about the best and the worst sprites and models to date. This shouldn’t be limited to Pokémon only, as you can also discuss how Trainers look like and other things.
To kickstart the discussion, here are two sprites and one model from different games.
• The Good
Arcanine - Heart Gold / Soul Silver
This is one of the most detailed and best sprites ever made, imo. The pose is also great, with Arcanine showing a fierce expression and looking ready to sprint toward the opponent at Extreme Speed. Definitely one of my favorite sprites.
• The Bad
Swellow - X / Y
Now, this model isn’t too bad, but I’m not a fan of how Swellow is perpetually gliding with a perpetual wind from nowhere. Personally, I feel it would be much better if it flapped its wings once in a while, like a real bird.
• The Ugly
Mew - Red (JAP) / Green
What, just… what is this thing supposed to be? Some kind of… mutated cat with an overgrown head? It’s no wonder that Mewtwo has become so jaded and with such Frankenstein-like look. Even for a R/G sprite, this is really weird-looking.
