In the case of Pokemon they're genuinely ugly. I grew up with Sapphire and have a lot of nostalgia for it but there's no denying it, the pokemon games are just ugly and not really a great showcase of the system's capabilities. Here's Magical Vacation, a game that came out in 2001, the release year of the gba and a year before RS. Still, to be fair in the case of RS they were pretty content filled games for the system so it could be argued this could have just been a case of a necessary downgrade but who knows. GBA genuinely has some beautiful games, Pokemon is just not one of them.
