Tell that to the 200 million people buying cartridges of Pokemon.

NEVER were pixels and vectors important to the quality of a video game.

WOW's video art is believable to play and live in a 3D world as it is.

Neither have the Flintstones or The Simpsons or Tintin a problem.

Neither the Flintstones nor Tintin's hips imploded when they swung a 2H axe.

Because Pokemon hasn't updated its sprites and graphics over the last ten years the series has existed. Yeah.

Google image Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Clearly graphics were taken into consideration what with all the shiny new 3-D vistas and buildings and higher resolution, animated sprites, especially vs the original Red and Blue versions old, hardly detailed black and white visuals.

In fact, I confirm that not only has Pokemon updated the graphics found in the series over the years, they've updated the graphics of the original games to catch up. I haven't exactly played on a DS, but I do know that you can get newer versions of Pokemon Red and Green that have the same story, but much better graphics.
