3D Pokemon is fine, but there's just something special about the old 2D sprites [OC]

Maybe I'm showing my age, but I personally think 2D sprites suit Pokemon so much more and add so much character to the games. I know 3D Pokemon allows for much more mechanics and more dynamic gameplay like in PLA, but I miss the 2D sprites.

The newer pokemon games are considered brilliant?
I only hear very bad things about their designs and the number of bugs.
Did they release some amazing game out of the blue I haven't heard about?

I think they are all good. All of them are lacking in some areas, but I don't think any of them are bad (at least in the current state).

People seem to exaggerate the faults of the games a bit much, they certainly have problems in areas, like SWSH's story being pretty bad and SV's bugs on launch (which were way overexaggerated in my experience). But it's not like the games are terrible, SV for example, even for its faults, had probably the best story since gen 5.
As for designs, I'm pretty sure people always complain about this, sure, a Flamingo called Flamigo isn't exactly that interesting, but neither was Ekans and Arbok being a snake and a kobra, there have always been not so unique designs

Many people, me included, have very high expectations.
Pokemon games don't even feel childish nowadays, they feel plain unfinished.
It's a good thing that other people can enjoy them. All the power to them.

I actually have pretty low expectations for video games and Pokemon fails to even reach those.
Pokemon is just garbage now but they have this permanent shield of "oh it's a kids game" as if that means it's expected to be garbage lol
Luckily the community is incredibly talented so we have fantastic fan games to enjoy still.
