Before anyone @'s me for the Sugimori comment, please go fuck yourself seven ways to Sunday.
In very much the same manner that Akira Toriyama phoned Dragon Ball in after the Frieza saga and ESPECIALLY for all of Super (peak soul being in the Dragon Ball era before the Saiyan Saga), Sugimori has become painfully generic and overly clean. There are plenty of pictures online of people drawing new pokemon in early Sugimori style and vice versa, and it's easy to see how much better his pre gen 3 style was.
Also, I fucking hate that people just blanket state that Gen 1/2 Sugimori is just Toriyama. No you blind faggots, having been inspired by Toriyama of course some of the aesthetic is similar but even by the early gen 1 sketches and original artwork, Sugimori had his own distinct style, otherwise the marketing never would have worked as well as it did.
