      It's also a difference of number of sprites and animation.
      Crystal uses a lot of different sprites, you can even see transition ones like half opened eyes and such.
      Emerald uses two sprites per pokemon and then animates it with left right up down and squish and squash movement.

      emerald’s, to me, are more impressive and “”better”” than crystals because they are able to show so much personality in two frames and some movement, while crystal had just regular, sometimes painful to look at, animations.

    Although Gen 2 is my favorite gen (besides Gen 4),I must say each version is good in different ways.
    The Crystal version gives a sensation that are actual animals, while the Emerald version gives them more Personality.

  • @19spacecats
    @19spacecats 2 года назад +31

    The difference likely comes from the gbc vs gba. The sprites in Crystal were broken down into 8x8 or 16x16 tiles aligned to appear as one big sprite, it would have likely cost too much memory to animate a whole giant sprite at once. Moving some sections but not others kept the illusion the whole sprite was animated.
    GBA could have much larger sprites, but with more Pokémon and fancy sprite scaling, it was probably easier to make two sprites that it would switch between with scale/rotation/color effects instead of a whole animation of the same length. Also, having the number of frames consistent was probably nice from a coding standpoint. So yeah, both techniques cheated their systems a little

    • @AnEveryManJack
      @AnEveryManJack 11 месяцев назад +1

      It's easier to use sprite scaling, transforms, and misc effects than making multiple frames of animations for so much more detailed sprites. They could've done a similar breakdown trick in GBA, but there's more colors to keep track of in the GBA games.

    @sebman6031 7 месяцев назад +1

    I feel that RSE sprites were weirdly made, like not following the official artwork that well and instead making odd choices on proportions and shapes. FRLG kinda tried to actually being more faithful to sugimori's work for gen 3 Kanto but with some of them still being really off like Tauros. Meanwhile I feel that 90% of crystal sprites were made straight out from official artwork. Wouldn't say that's bad tho, RSE feels quite unique thanks to that.
    Now the emerald animation...I really appreciate how for some pokemon they actually went as far as making a completely different second sprite for the movement but I just dont get why they stretch and expand so chaotically it doesnt really feels like natural movement unlike Crystal were pokemon just move as they would naturally move lol

The thing is that they were great in so many other aspects that people didn't care that much, except the ones who stopped playing lol. Main reason there's so many gen1 and 2 people older than 30 who hate 3 onward.

It worked at the time for what it was, and the models are much more detailed as well.

    Obviously most Gen 2 fanboys would kill me from saying this (and they are always so annoying), but Gen 3 are objectively better, not only from a technical but also gameplay perspective, as more frames of animation means more cool at the cost of a very slow gameplay progression (some sprites took up to 5 or 6 seconds and is tedious when grinding or just doing multiple trainer battles), plus the sprites looks way more simpler, mostly using flat colours with zero shading or disgusing unfinished empty parts with the white background. The lower FPS of Gen 2 also makes animation seem more janky. The fact that Crystal is the only Pokemon game i play with animations disabled i think it says something, though unfortunately it also disables the attacks animation. Simply putting, Gen 3 sprites are not only more polished but also more practical when playing it.
    Pokemon Gen 2 is a huge reminder to me when making videogames of why practically would always surprass style and even substance or overambition.

    Crystal was the last time gamefreak put crazy effort into all sprites, afterwards it was always "too many pokemon"
