Flanderization

You're looking at a difference of 2 decades. Don't be surprised that aesthetic sensibilities change after 20 years.

Nobody's surprised that aesthetic sensibilities change. They're surprised that they actively get worse every generation and Pokemon's brain dead fans cheer and praise it.

You think this is exclusive to Pokemon?
This board claps like seals when the same shit happened to the Xeno franchise.

>the Xeno franchise.
Xenoblade 3 has a sexy loli, unlike Xenoblade 2. So 3 is an improvement

I know it's not exclusive to Pokemon games, that's why I tend to avoid new instalments in franchises that I feel have been flanderized but it still sucks to see. I've never played any of the Xeno games but I don't listen to the praise that a game receives without trying it out myself first especially on v.

Unironically

You found out you preferred the men and baramons.

Only the two on the far right and the sleepy one on the left (forgot all their names) are too wild looking. They must have ran out of costume designs.
The pop star gym leader looks like that cause shes a pop star. Irys looks like a princess cause shes a kid still. I dont see anything wrong with jellyfish mom outfit.

Nothing, last gen had some really good designs

I think it’s oversaturation, trying to get more of the kiddie audience which is a lot lower attention span than it used to be, and the lost of manga as a influence. The early art style was very closely related to manga and you can see that pretty clearly through about Gen 3 or Gen 4 and then it abandons it entirely.

There's plenty of qute gorls in post-worldwide launch Pokemon.

They've become more sexually attractive? Except the nigger, of course.

Too much diversity will slowly remove the fanbase.
And the twitter crowd does not play games.

How many character designs does pokemon have?
Thousands?

Easily. There's like 900 Pokemon alone. Throw in all the gym leaders, okayer characters, professors, rivals, NPCs, characters from side games, etc and it's easily over 1000
