iits not about quality its about the poses

in any case, i voted for GSC.
 
It's definitely a battle between Gen. II and Gen. IV.
I'll always love GSC just because Silver was the first Pokemon game I owned and Crystal is the game I've probably spent the most time on. Gen. IV has some quality sprites, though. They're getting better. They just don't have that.. charm, I dunno.

Gen. III can go suck it.

What do you think?
 
Gen 3 for me. Some of the poses are really nice...I do prefer the FR/LG sprites though. Better looking Kanto pokes and all that.

I tend to like the fourth generation's poses best on average, I guess. It is really not appropriate to group the generations together here, though, especially G/S/C where Gold and Silver had completely different poses (overall, I liked most of the Gold poses but disliked many of the Silver ones) and the completely different style of the Yellow sprites as opposed to the Red and Blue ones. I mean, I love a lot of the Yellow sprites, but can only barely stand to look at most of the the Red/Blue ones. Granted, that's not because of the actual poses, but still.

Overall, though, I'd say they tend to get more dynamic-looking over the years. The first generation that a Pokémon is introduced tends to show it in a fairly plain pose, with the later ones doing something cooler.

And I'd say it's fairly obvious that they don't have Crystal-like animations in the newer games because it would both take up a lot of memory and be insanely time-consuming now that they have 493 Pokémon, a bunch of forms, 80x80 sprites and 16 colors.
 
I prefer the G/S/C poses, especially the silver poses of the Eons and Skarmory. Now Skarmory was BADASS in that game.
