Helpful Considerations: 2D? 3D? Clunky or smooth movements? Stylized art style? Environment layout?

the colors pop so well, there’s enough detail to look vibrant and alive but not so much that my imagination has nothing to work with :slight_smile:

This is the answer. When we still understood that Ho-oh is the best Gen 2 Legendary.

I think BW looks amazing, I’d say we peaked with this 3d-sprite artstyle. I started a new White2 run recently I was really impressed by the amount of details I didn’t notice when I first played them: sun glare, the water movement, the intricate route design, leaves moving around, seasons. Looks great.

I’m gonna say it’s a tie between:

  • GOLD/SILVER - best looking game for the Game Boy
  • HGSS - beautifully refined
  • BW/B2W2 - the original games at their peak

Since switching to 3D in Gen 6, the games just haven’t felt the same. Game Freak have a 2D mentality, which is fine and preferred… but seeing them try to make 3D games just feels like they’re pushing a square peg into a round hole.

I hope to be proven wrong with WiWa, however!

BW/BW2 but this will always have a special place in the heart

The Pokeopia skyline is really gorgeous, great choice! Out of curiosity, what’s your favorite colosseum? So many them look great, though I’d personally have to go with Sunset due to its aesthetics and the BGM.

There are so many good choices, but I’d pick MD Explorers of Sky (though the previously mentioned Battle Revolution would be second).

Here’s a couple sample pictures:
