Graphics Differance?

[PrimusGod]

I've just recently noticed this but...

Has anyone else noticed that the Firered and Leafgreen versions have better quality in everything than in the Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire versions?

I love Emerald to death, but if it means that I'm going to have to put up with crappy versions, then I'm switching to the older side. <3

If you think that's bad... play Diamond and Pearl for a while, then switch to the GBA games. Even the basic overworld sprites are drastically different.

everything looked flat......

What exactly do you define as quality? Not to rant, but I have to seriously disagree on what your saying. I have always found the effects that Emerald (as I've never played the other) to be a great demonstration of what a Gameboy Advance is capable of. I have also found that when using cheats on Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald there is much more stability, not on how it corrupts your game, but the ease of removing a cheat. This often shows much more stability in a game. Plus, the game play and extensiveness of Emerald are simply awesome, where Firered and Leafgreen are just an old Gameboy Game - Glitches + Minor New Areas + Better Graphics.

To go a little more off topic I can never compare a game by its graphics, rather gameplay. To this day I find it hard to play Diamond more than once a year because it bores me, while with Gold I will often play it once every three months, twice in the summer.

Aah... I would love to play Gold. But all Gold, Silver, and Crystal's batteries died, and I misplaced my GBA, so wahh... If you're going to talk about graphics, you might as well focus on the evolution of them. I remember when Red and Blue were out, that Charmeleon looked like Barney the Dinosaur with a horn on his head from the back. xD

Barney? xD I never thought that it would take on that appearance. I always thought that it looked like a mutated version of Elmo. </3

As for the others, Diamond and Pearl does get really boring. That's why I 'accidently' lost my Diamon game. xD

O_O Don't 'accidentally' lose it.... send it to me. :D

^_^ See the resemblance?

[PrimusGod]

Ah. Now if Pokemon were mental enough to make Charmeleon purple, then I'd ditch the Pokemon for something. Anything that would be better that a Barney-resembled Pokemon. xD

I already lost the game. Can't find it in this three-story house. Thankfully, we're moving so I'll be able to find it along with my LeafGreen game, and maybe my Crystal game. (The last time I found my Crystal game, it was on the room of my old house. xDD O.o) <3

The graphic styles were just a bit different between the two regions; I assume this one was in FireRed and LeafGreen to make the overworld sprites look smaller like in Red and Green.

Smaller = Better in my eyes.
