            Nope. They'll post pictures of a game ran through algorithmic pickel enhancers from emulators and downscale it to DS resolution as proof an actual DS can make the high quality lines they're screeching about

                Why did Ace Attorney games only ever show one hi-res sprite on screen? Consider this your homework project for the holiday weekend. Ace Attorney is a funny example here because their artists are on record about how the GBA/DS screens limited their artwork.

                >and not DS hardware
                the post doesn't say that anywhere

                if high res sprites didn't work on DS hardware then the fricking gen 4 backsprites wouldn't exist

                Fangames are generally made at the resolution of the DS games or even higher, but if you need it explicitly spelled out to you, here you go.
                It's funny, these sprites were inspired by the artist's love for Unova, and here some neckbeard is using them to slander Unova.

                Hah, remembered those games right after I posted that.
                Still, doesn't refute my point. Because AA4 only shows one character on screen, the pixel art can be higher quality, with greater color depth and animation. You posted Young Trucy: this animation of hers is smoother than anything in AAI, and that's for a one-shot appearance. Trucy in the present has more animation than any character in AAI. Even AAI will frequently only show one character at a time in order to have more animations to call upon, most noticeable during the debate sequences. And keep in mind, we're comparing VNs here. You're talking about AJ levels of sprite quality alongside attack animations and the like, in a series with significantly more characters.

                >Fangames are generally made at the resolution of the DS games or even higher
                Yes, and if you take a fan made sprite that's made at 2x the resolution of a GF sprite, and replace the GF sprite that was moronicly blown up to be 2x the size, then the fan made sprite will still fit on a DS screen as shown in [...] you absolute dumbfrick.

                There's a difference between taking a small sprite and then scaling it up to be bigger, versus just plopping down a big sprite. There's a limit on how big DS sprites can be before they need to be scaled. What works in photoshop won't work when programming a video game.

          that would look like a shimmering mess on a real DS screen with its low resolution and the sprite constantly doing scaling/rotation effects during the battle sequence. There's a reason they used it like they did.

              I'm not the one who brought up the game's resolution, lol. The discussion is about why Gen 5 pixel art looks the way it does, and dot pitch is part of it. You don't know what you're talking about and you're assuming everyone disagreeing with you is the same person to hide that fact. Sad!

                No, it isn't. I don't think you even know what "dot pitch" means, you're just mindlessly repeating it and hoping it's an argument.

    I think the main issue with higher-res back sprites would be the distortion in situations where the camera is zoomed out enough during certain attacks, or how Pokemon flip around on both the stat screen and during musicals - because then you'd have the opposite problem.
