I never hated the chibi art.
I think both of these look fine.
Never hated the sprites either, for that matter.

Yeah that's a good shot of Kalos but the camera is very frustrating there.
Only right there is it zoomed up into your face, that's all I'm saying

honestly, that NPC in SM looks kinda like a sexy dude.
>tfw ORAS Archie didn't get to look like that but more bara
Both are fine
Chibi makes the characters seem more expreesive and have really let their personalities pop (Wally and Archie being the best 2 examples)
The realistic style will make the world feel much bigger and will really benefit something looks as diverse in locations like Alola does

Yeah, that is actually a really great shot of Kalos. And I usually dislike it. I remember saving this from someone trying to make kalos look bad, but they failed here. And I dislike the region
But yeah the camera is shit

>Chibi makes the characters seem more expressive
Also, good analysis, and I agree. It's also why I loved the perspective changes in HGSS and BW2. Helped me feel more immersed in the world when I'm in Falkner's Gym and I can see the sky outside.
