Mainline Pokemon games haven't been using sprited for 5 years, keep up

I'm pretty sure current Pokémon games still use sprites, you know.

None of the character models are sprite-based anymore, that's essentially what he was referring to. NPCs, your character, Pokemon in battle are all 3D. If he's complaining about character portraits being sprites, then he'll have to complain about a lot of modern JRPGs XD
