videogame assets are being trademark as logos, any change in the design would require a brand new patent and deminish the value of the original.

See mario mandate

That's not even Pikachu's yellow sprite. That's his Gold or silver sprite.

x/y models are still used today, same as stadium 1 models were used up to battle revolution

How would you feel about drastic enemy redesigns like in sunshine to spice things up? Most of the visual differences pre ds were due to graphical limitations so redesigns seem like a good option to keep things fresh.
>which will probably never happen again due to the nsmb designs being cemented as brand mascots

I think if Pokémon has never made the transition to 3D people would be up in arms about it so they can’t win.

CRANK THAT SATURATION

I haven't played the remake. I hate how clean and generic the elevator is. But I think the dialog during the remake scene is better from the cutscene I saw.

They could put some effort into the 3D you fucking retard.

I think it'd be Sterilization. And then just asset reuse.

God what a downgrade

Pre-rendered backgrounds have the same appeal to me that backgrounds in traditional animation have. They're essentially paintings that the characters are made to move through.

They could win by making the 3D look good. People absolutely were calling for 3D. But their 3D looks like shit. Their 2D looked like shit too, for the record.

Why yes, I'd rather have vibrant colors than a washed out palette.

honestly thats a good way to describe it

Maybe I should just pirate it instead of waiting for Steam

I still can't fucking believe NSMB of all games was the one that "solidified" the fucking art style. Unbelievable, people were already hating on it and calling it boring after NSMB Wii

>all MP2 costumes have less polygons in total than MP10 mario's mustache

do you have the one with the elevator

They clearly put a lot of effort in, just not how you want them to.

I don't think the model are the issue, but if you bump up the quality of the models you need to follow up with the animations
having a 3d battle with the pokemons just staring at each other and materializing attacks out of thin air will always look dumb

That's not the Yellow sprite. I got my cartridge from a Chinese restaurant's capsule machine and it did not look like that. That's the gen 2 sprite you nigger.

NUMBER ONE VICTORY ROYALE!

It looks like shit to you but to the millions of kiddies who drive most of the sales, it looks incredible.
