SM has the same issue One Piece does. The art style turns people off. Had the anime kept the XY art I'm sure most would have stayed with it. I mean I would have at least went into more open minded even if they did SoL.
If Gen 8 can go with a more normal art style and do things like last episode where it was not so comedy driven I'd be ok with Gen 8
I'm certain that they have no intention of reverting to the older style.
The current designs are integral to how OLM animate the show. The team working on Pokemon really like to push production and see how far they can improve things. On a purely technical basis, reverting to an older style would be counterproductive.
There'll be tweaks and adjustments between seasons, as has been the case with every season so far, but they'll likely be working from the new base they created for Sun and Moon.
Frankly, I don't understand how an improvement in animation can turn people off an animated product, but I'm not going to judge. All I'll say is that while some may have been put off by the re-design, there were others who were attracted by it.

The art style is not the problem, just the old characters look terrible, the others are ok. I don't really care about a show's art style, just if is terribly bad, and even then I can watch if it is good.SM has the same issue One Piece does. The art style turns people off.

SM's problems are:
-bad and forced comedy.
- plot progression is very slow. Too much fillers.
- Ash's personality was altered to fit the series format.
- characters completely without purpose.
I often wonder how it would be if Ash kept his personality from XY and was like the only one who was calling everyone out on their BS.
XY Ash seldom ever called everyone out on their BS. That was half the problem. He was usually utterly indifferent and passive besides giving motivational speeches. SM Ash is flawed himself but still more liable to snark or argue with someone when they act up.
If you referring xyz Satoshi then yes he would like to be chill lot but he had his limit if kiawa still yell like a hot head he is .Also, he was pretty chill for the most part anyway, and could actually keep his cool
To be fair nobody really did anything nearly as annoying as we get in almost every ep of SM
I heard that brother.....if they just made him sub-teacher then you had reason for school settings then student might not buy hin about saving the world or him beat team gangs as they don't really see it like few anime did just that and it better job than sm anime is doing right nowtrue, true.
I really dislike the direction they went with Ash in the early part of this series, he just did things with his classmates because he could get something out of it.
Steven Stone looked like a whole different character when he came back in XY, same with Clair in BW. I know the reason was the change of art style in the games (for worse), but still. From Best Wishes it looks like different anime to me.XY's art style was AG/DP's in better animation. I'm not sure what the difference was. AG/DP/XY all look fairly similar to one another with the animation improving with each passing saga.
You’re joking right? In a nutshell art style = the displayed images while animation = delta images (a.k.a the transitions between consecutive images). If someone finds looking at the images themselves to be migraine inducing, then no amount of “fluid transitioning” is going to turn around their overall impression of the visual quality of the product. I’m fine with you valuing the animation quality over the art style, but don’t act perplexed at the notion that animation quality isn’t sufficient on its own for all (or even the majority of) viewers to have a positive opinion regarding the overall visual quality of the product.Frankly, I don't understand how an improvement in animation can turn people off an animated product, but I'm not going to judge.

Also fyi Dephender (the most credible guy on this forum regarding Pokémon Anime stuff) told me that Ash’s SM design (the design that I easily find the most nauseating to look at) in particular has been heavily mocked even amongst the Japanese fandom, so the people that are “attracted by it” certainly don’t speak for the general Pokémon anime community consensus.
lol, ''deep'' foibles? Are deep foibles make silly faces and get hitted on every single minute? Serena had the give up easy problem, she and Clemont had self-confidence issues. Very superficial problems.As in no body really had deep foibles and chemistries in which they balanced each other out.
