Its the exact same to me
The difference of art style between xyz and sumo is way too drastic
Its very hard to adapt your taste
Its not like kanto and johto art style to hoenn
That was more like an upgrade
This... is just completly different...

Like I don't mean to disrespect anyone nor am I talking any kind of shit to anyone either but the conversations that I've had with family and friends regarding sun/moon is like this. xyz had that sick ass opening theme (remix) from kanto (english dub) and the season was WICKED. Hell it even had mild romance right to the last episode. Then we go into sun/moon...and from every aspect and angle it's a DOWNGRADE? We get some Hamtaro type of art style. I would of preferred a berserk 2016 CGI type of art style if it was gonna be like that *sigh*

I was thinking they were trying to give the animation more of an exotic Hawaiian appeal. It is a downgrade compared to previous generations, but I'll give it some defense on the appeal

The simplified art style looks horrendous in stills. The reason for the change is to allow for more movement and better animation, at the cost of simplified character designs. Do I personally like it--no. Do I understand the reasoning for it? Yeah.

Is it just me or does Ash's intentionally androgynous friend also look like they are also wearing their shirt backwards?
