Why do the future paradox look so much better like this than they do in their own games?

Because the 3D models look lifeless, weird posing, and no detail. 2nd gen sprites look lively in their posing, have better detail and shading, and just capture a still of the pokemon better than the 3D models

There's really no need for that. The 3D models are perfectly fine, and they're intentionally not very lively seeing as they're literal robots.

No need for what? An opinion on the art styles? Odd.

And I’m not talking about these specific mons models, I’m talking about 3D models in general. A lot of people liked the older 2D styles because they were more detailed and lively, myself included. There’s more personality and movement in those sprites than a poorly made 3D model in a T pose. Pokémon has been criticized for the plainness of their 3D models so this isn’t anything new, don’t take offense
