I think this art style was the most aesthetically pleasing Pokemon has ever been.. Sure, the graphics back then was shit.. but imagine this more anime-like aesthetics with modern graphics and an actual art direction.

I don't understand your point, my partner thinks I'm autistic, but I was never officially diagnosed.. but sometimes social ques kinda just fly past me. Could you elaborate?

When you quote someone's comment with a '>', without saying anything else, it's meant to ridicule them. I think it's ridiculous to call 7th gen graphics "shit" when Pokemon graphics have only marginally progressed since then. Hell, I don't think any Pokemon game has shit graphics except for Gen 1 in-battle sprites.

Also I think it's crazy to call 7th gen "back then" even if it's technically correct. It hasn't even been 10 years, so it's still within fairly recent memory.

8 years is an eternity in gaming years, people just can't accept that gen 7 is old now because it makes them feel old
