It's so jarring that the Pokemon in this game still make weird digital sounding Gameboy noises. Would it have killed them to go find an mp3 of a horse or hire someone to neigh "Ponyta" into a mic for a few mintutes?
Nah, those were always meant to be the sounds the Pokemon make. Making Ponyta a regular horse or just speaking English for 1 word is what would be jarring. (Hated that in the anime.) Though I agree they could make it sound... smoother? I always thought the new cries sounded worse and less distinct than they did on older consoles.
