In gen V Game Freak were as lazy as always and bad pixel art using the cut out technique to animate the monsters was awful. Mew tail was almost not seen because of how pixels were a mess because of that lazy technique. Anyone has more examples?
>>59003934These games are more than 15 years old, at some point you need to get over stupid shit like this
>>59003934Mew's tail looking like shit was always a thing. But there are tons of glitchy bad pixelated effects generated because of what you mentioned...
>>59003959Just asking for examples.
>>59003934It's using rot-sprite without correcting to simulate animations using sprite rotation of course it looks bad. Game freak was never good at pixel art.
>>59003959do you say the same about gen 4, you disingenuous unovabortion?
>>59004194Say the same about what? The sprites don't do this in gen 4. But yeah, those games are even older and it's for the best of we get over petty shit like this
>>59004319Older games are lazy too. This is a huge prove of that.
>>59003934>>59003992Hey Kojo. Next time don't use the same bait you use on /vp/ on Twitter. Maybe then I wouldn't've found you by complete circumstance.
>>59004574yeah that could've been me
This is one of the most egregious examples. They didn't animate Aerodactyl's tail moving back correctly and it just snaps back into place.
>>59003992Sprites peaked in Crystal, both the actual sprites and the animations. The lazy warps and movements they do for animations in the later games don't compare.
>>59004946Wait, Aerodactyl's tail doesn't snap back to attack like a scorpion?
>>59004986It only looks like a scorpion because they just copied the static gen 4 sprite that's doing a dynamic pose and then lazily slapped rotation movements onto it
>the uncs itt can't comprehend moving sprites made for screens bigger than a gameboy
>>59005006Shadow is different, it reminds me of Ridley attacking so I'm ok with it.
>>59005033The Gen V games are the ugliest games Game Freak has ever made.
>>59003934>Mew tail was almost not seenFirst off, learn English.Secondly, what about this >>59003992 is hard to see?
>>59006241Oui
>>59006241>what about this >>59003992 is hard to see?the entire tail because it's animated like shit
Pokemon pixel art, regardless of generation, was ALWAYS worse than what companies like Capcom and Square were doing.
I'm playing Gen 5 for the first time now, and I gotta admit I like the animated sprites even if they look awful at times. I don't hate 3D Pokémon or anything, but if they ever went back to 2D I wouldn't mind if they attempted something similar to Gen V but good.
>>59005033the DS' screens were hardly higher resolution than Game Boy Advance screens, this issue wasn't noticeable to the target audience of themjust play the fucking gamePTOOEY
>>59004959i like gen 5's animated sprites but i gotta agree. crystal's sprites are in a tier of their own.
