Somebody had better let know Nintendo they were doing pixel art wrong for the GB/A, this guy has Opinions. Pokemon is such a fake aesthetic, the only authentic and pure pixel art is whatever bullshit that happens to be exactly what the writer made.

What? The GBA knows exactly what it is and has all sorts of sprite scaling and rotation features that would look like total crap on a CRT: https://gbadev.net/gbadoc/sprites.html#attr3

Look at Kuru Kuru Kururin for example, a launch title where the GBA's fancy new sprite rotation effect is kinda the entire game:
