I prefer the sprites as well. The pixel art had so much character and were well done (except for the rotation and scaling in gen 5). The modern models feel honestly kind of flat and simplistic. Hell, despite these creatures being like animals, there are no effects for scales or fur on their body.
In an alternate universe where Game Freak put more resources into the Pokémon themselves, we would have models like in Pokken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kFHvcOkPb8
