Poll Are polygonal Pokemon cuter than sprites? (85 votes)
The question is in the title.
I picked up Y this week since it seems like the consensus is that the games are good this generation, however, I was wholly unprepared for how cute the Pokemon are in the beginning of the game. Now, I've seen a polygonal Pikachu before and it's cuteness was well known to me, but I've let out multiple audible "awws" upon encountering the likes of Azurill, Litleo, Combee, Charmander, Squirtle, Torchic, and numerous others. I think it has to do with the idle animations, which are all just great. My Azurill, for example, bounces up and down on her tail-ball and just looks so goddamn happy the whole time that I don't even want to battle. And that's to say nothing of Pokemon-amie, which is even cuter since you can pet your Pokemon and give them little eclair-like treats and they nibble on them and it's so adorable. Anyone else feel the same?
