3D was a mistake
I agree, Pokemon died after Hoenn
???
Gen 4 and Gen 5 are 3D
They're 2.5D though. Pokemon actually fully transitioned to 3D as of XY.
gta and red dead redemption are one of the most successful gamers ever and they're thriving with 3d
your point is shit, 3D isnt a mistake, the real mistake is hiring very incompetent devs to make the 3D model
too cartoony, not all thinks must look bright as frick
Depends on context.
maybe once we get actual shaders in pokemon we could see those old saturation come back in some way
Just needs better color balancing I'd say. Pokemon should be as saturated as their environment.
Isn't the paleness of Parasect at least excused by the fact that it's a literal parasite?
At least 100% better
It already exists in the games made by the B team, just the A team does desaturated models
Forgot the image
The reason those sprites are so vivid is because the GBA and OG DS had washed out colors. The DS Lite and 3DS fixed those issues and therefore has no more need for oversaturation.
those are heartgold sprites
the ds lite was out by the time that game was made so "washed out colors" that werent even a problem any more by the time of the og fat ds, are irrelevant
Even the newer games were still made with the original fat DS in mind.
That wasn't an excuse past the early days of the DS, and Platinum, HGSS, and BW were all colorful.
these are so egregious it's gross, like they were left in the dryer for an extra week.
It looks more Unova. Get rid of it.
I genuinely want to believe that most people making UNOVA BAD posts are Unovagays trying to make people who dislike Unova look like complete morons. No way Unova lives rent free in so many anons' heads.
Anon, there's literally a /vp/ troll guide that suggests to always cry about Unova for (You)s. Why would Unovagays want to shit on their games so much when that's what they hate most?
Now I get what the "black is a shade of blue" anon was referring to, still a moronic way to phrase it.
It looks more Unova. Keep it.
This one of the few where I prefer the paler colors. It looks more like oxidized bronze.
I think I actually like the 3D era colors for Bronzong. Same with Metagross.
These are making me sad
I made these back in 2017 when all we had were XY/SM, and it was way more dire. While I'm never going to touch the newer games, it seems like GFs been going back and re-saturating them for their newer titles.
my guess on why they toned down the saturation is probably related to epilepsy laws in japan or some shit
The <= Gen 3 sprites were first and foremost for the transflective displays in the Game Boy range. The brightness and saturation were jacked up cause under sunlight they'd look like the art.
The epilepsy thing is fake.
And the gen 3 sprites still look better than their "intended form"
Yeah, this. The sprites look very different on a LCD or LED screen compared to the non-backlit screens. Although I do think that some 3D models are a bit too pale or have weird colors in general, like Bulbasaur (not blue enough) or Qwilfish (weirdly green)
No, they just used the color hues from Sugimori's official art.
hmmm dunno
it looks both good and bad
some textures are just not meant to have sprite-like saturation, like empoleon's fur
I like them, but I'm so used to seeing the models with their desaturated coloring that they feel slightly off
They all look much better now, robbed
Massive upgrade. I can't beluga they went out if their way to make things worse
Do you have these for all Pokémon pre Gen 6?
Not all pokemon, just a handful. The worst offenders, and some requests I took back in 2017.
ttar looks oddly better desaturated
i would love to see one for haxorus
These are all from the reddit/imgur album

However, interestingly, it seems they were actually first posted here, to /vp/.

Unfortunately, the archives haven't saved any of the images
I made them ages ago and posted them here when everyone was pointing out how all the pokemon in the games then seemed really washed out. It was supposed to mimic the Ken Sugimori watercolor key art, but it just looked bad when the rest of the game didn't also follow a washed out watercolor style.
Purplezard my beloved.
They look good. Though some of them look like ugly shinies but overall it's an improvement.
It seems like a no brainer but I'm 100% sure there's so autist here incredibly vocal against it because of muh sugi artwork or something even sillier
No, it's the moronic
>gen 6 did no wrong and its models and animations are perfect
gay. Also seen in colosseum threads.
>gay. Also seen in colosseum threads.
God I hate that wanker
>he's still malding over how shitty colosseum is
lmao
>it's shitty because it proves muh modern masterpieces have shitty animations and no effort to this day
>the animations are obnoxiously long because the developers put no thought into the gameplay therefore they’re high effort
>long bad lol, therefore I can ignore the effort that goes into long animations that are custom tailored for each mon, unlike my shitty nugen 3D models
>long bad lol
correct
>I don't substantiate my claims, so I can't refute that 3D models lack effort now
Honestly, yes. Apologies for the speed-eading. Please post DS screen to back up your claim.
Very good work anon, keep going!
Thankfully there exists a mod called Pokemon Resaturated which pretty much does exactly what OP does but, as far as I can tell, it's for the Switch titles only.
blue Metagross looks so weird to me now
Post DS screen then, nugen shill.
I didn't say anything about nugen. Is the schizophrenia setting in again?
That's weird because I just booted up diamond to look at some of the sprites and they look just like the ones of the right
Speaking of screens, what filters should I use for Gen 1-5 emulation
none of them
the DS doesn't affect the sprites in the slightest, it's not a damn CRT
Look so much better
bait or moronic
genuine bad take; probably saw the mew sprite blown up to 10x its original size and spreged out
>Washed out colors are...... Le good!
Zoomer alert. I'm sorry you have always lived in a world where pokemon look like shit
I would have liked these a lot more for the 3D gens I played
3D killed Pokemon
Convinced from the past week nobody actually knows zoomer means
>This is not what the sprites looked like on an actual DS screen
moron who thinks the GBA screen excuse works for DS
It works for the OG DS. But Gen 4 came out in the DS Lite era.
Literallt every single one of these recolors arr an improvement
Desaturation is a sin. Vibrant colors need to come back.
bros...how could game freak do this to us?
Definitely better when it matches the sprites, 3D was a mistake (It didn't have to be a mistake)
