Yeah. It originates from cost cutting and time saving in drawing manga and animating anime, I'm not really sure why people replicate it for single art pieces like that. Maybe it's to more easy convey emotion when the face is turned away from the viewer, but there'd be better ways to do that I think.

I was actually a lot less impressed with DP when it was new. Wasn't bad or anything, but Sinnoh to me wasn't as exciting or fun place to me as Hoenn. Sinnoh didn't have all that deep diving and seafloor exploration which Hoenn did, something which I absolutely loved. There was of course some cute girls, Gardenia, Marley, etc. Maylene is especially underrated.

>lower touch screen for apps
I liked that.

>physical special split
Honestly I never really cared much about all that stuff, the gameplay was well rounded and functional by Gen 3.

I never did get that far into HGSS for whatever reason. I've been meaning to give it another go after I'm done with FR, maybe there's some nice romhacks which can spice it up in a couple of places. I wish there was a Gen 3 style fan remake of GS, mainly because I prefer the 2D sprite world over the early 3D Pokémon worlds like on the DS.

I didn't like this at all. The times I did have wifi, there wasn't fucking anyone anywhere close who had Pokémon running, otherwise the digging minigame stuff felt like obnoxious busywork which occasionally had a little bit of payoff. I liked the secret bases in Hoenn much better because they were actual locations in the game world, not some separate hidden away map.

I imagine it was a lot better if you had at least a few people to regularly engage with in that stuff. Later on when I had better internet, I don't think I ever got a particularly good or interesting trade with the wifi thing in any Pokémon game, unless you count obviously cheated as fuck legendaries, but they feel like a waste of my time.
