>>58810678Undisputed.
>>58810632Toss up between Gen 2 Johto and Hoenn for me desu
>>58810652nah
>>58810682Johto "comfy" exists only in the imagination.
For me it's route 120
Is there any region with as much stuff to do as Hoenn?
>>58810693Platinum Sinnoh and Gen 5 are both direct upgrades. Only issue is that Gen 4 runs like ass and Gen 5 was gutted by DW shutdown.
>>58810678>>58810681Hahahahahahahahaha good joke

>>58810702>worse by every objective metric>th-they’re direct upgrades!!gen 5 isn’t even better than the gen 3 remakes that are worse than emerald
>>58810728dis
>>58810686Post the right image at night. Also post HG/SS. You are being disingenuous
>>58810745>Also post HG/SS.kcomfy overload
>>58810728He said stuff to do, and both those games have daily gathering chores out the ass.
>>58810728rubbish
>>58810724CHARIZARD Z is being disturbed in Champions to celebrate the 30th anniversary
>>58810805>the rental/import game>distributing shit
>>58810683>>58810686I dunno why you're posting that like it's some sort of gotcha, the GBC style comfy as shit (Link's Awakening DX looks about as good and that game also has a similar vibe). Way better than Hoenn's ass overworld sprites making even the comfy areas like secret bases worse. It's a shame the remakes came out in Gen 6 so they couldn't even fix basically the only objective problem with Hoenn, the overworld artstyle.
>>58810720Quality post
>>58810854>"let me tell you why reality is wrong"
>>58810854>the GBC style comfy as shit>Way better than Hoenn's ass overworld sprites making even the comfy areas like secret bases worseFor me it’s the complete opposite. When it comes to in-battle graphics GSC easily has the best spritework of any mainline game. The overworld however leaves a lot to be desired. That’s not to say it’s bad but it certainly isn’t pleasing to look at. And vice versa for RSE, the in-battle graphics look downright terrible at times (like using literal circles for moves like Mud Shot and Hydro Pump) but the overworld graphics are incredible. Emerald Meteor Falls is leagues ahead of any location from the first 4 generations in terms of graphics.Both GSC and RSE have incredible art direction, just in different areas. DPPt on the other hand aren’t noteworthy in any regard. And for as much shit as this board gives Gen 5 I believe that it does a lot right, like the incredible move animations & accompanying SFX as well as animated sprites. The static in-battle spritework pales in comparison to GSC and the environments aren’t as varied and charming as RSE but its lows aren’t nearly as low as the aforementioned titles. But that’s just my opinion.
>>58810968Since you mentioned gen 5 I just want to say that the new hoenn mon sprites they did for that gen were amazing. The other returning mons were copy pasted from previous DS entries but not those ones
>>58810948See, you posted a great example. Really interesting concept, made dogshit by the terrible spritework. They immediately fixed it in FRLG too, and that style was modified for every following Pokemon game aside from Emerald, so we can see other examples.>>58810968Given GS's battle sprites were being finished last minute or occasionally in Crystal that's certainly an opinion, but whatever man aesthetics are easily the most arguable thing there is. I think we can agree base DP has no aesthetic, like at all, but I think Platinum at least makes an attempt even if it's no HGSS. And yeah, Gen 5 is pretty consistently above board on basically everything but almost never excels in any area which can leave some people wanting (at least it's not XY where nearly everything is just below standard making it genuinely dip into mediocre).
>>58811888When you say that RSE has poor spritework, are you talking about character design or environments? Or perhaps both? Because I agree FRLG has improved character sprites even if only slightly, but they took a step back in just about every other regard. Every environment looks so insanely dull and monotonous. Granted Kanto isn’t the most exciting region but to say it’s better than RSE is just mental. I’m genuinely curious what it is you like about it. And you still haven’t explained how Hoenn has an “ass overworld”. Meteor Falls and Route 113 have already been mentioned in this thread but just compare Route 3 from FRLG to Route 102 from RSE; they’re both simple early game routes but Route 102 is more visually pleasing. Hell, even the tall grass tiles in FRLG somehow look more inorganic and bland. >Given GS's battle sprites were being finished last minute or occasionally in Crystal that's certainly an opinionLook at Machoke’s entrance animation, it’s more soulful than anything that came before or after it. Also helps that the move animations and SFX are very dynamic and punchy
>>58810652spbp
>>58811950I would say even down to tileset it could be argued RSE has poor quality spritework, but frankly I find FRLG's spritework much more dull as far as everything in the region goes
