Still frames never do animaton justice. Yes this might look funny as a meme, but the actual part in the anime this is taken from actually has amazing animation quality and a fluidity that you almost never find in shonen anime. Yes, the faces are disorted, but that's clearly a stylistic choice to show the characters emotional turmoil. It might not work to a mainstream viewer, but that does not actually mean it's bad.
As for the new Pokemon style, having seen it in action, I actually quite like it. I reminds me of studio ghiblis style a little. They seem so be going so a bit of a more fluid, expressive stlye, wich again looks great in motion and bad in freeze frames.
