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 have a feeling Gamefreak would make a different game if the fanbase hadn't been clamoring for such games for years. Also, you can't just magically fit a good looking game on the Switch without ample development time, something the GF devs never get between releases, sadly. Which is why yes, the game do run like ass and often look bad too, I agree.
