Pokemon used to have such a distinct artstyle. It's shame that it's fallen into the Japanese media trap of anime same face.

The second gen (not the remakes) was probably the closest we got to matching Ken Sugimori's original watercolors in game

    I know man, I loved the art style for the first couple games. What the fuck happened? I really don't like Kens art at this point.

      What the fuck happened?

      Pokemon became a sucess so every game needed to appeal to mainstream anime/game fans to keep selling games.
