For me personally, art direction is more important than technical limitations/issues with graphics. A game with beautiful stylized art will stand the test of time much longer than a highly polished game lacking any kind of style. That polished game might look "real" today, but not tomorrow when compared to whatever is the latest and greatest tech.
And a game with strong unique art will always look good for what it is. You can have both, but it's usually a rarity.
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoMost people would agree art direction is far more important, which is where cartoon styles generally shine and age extremely well compared to their more hyper-realistic siblings. In GP's case however, it's been pretty consistent how low effort Game Freak has gone with their in-house Pokemon games. The series practically prints money and the hardware has shown us what is possible. Even the new Kirby game looks stunning, and Kirby is one of the less big budget series.
