I am confused. Why do games 10 years and two generations older look much better at higher resolution than today's games on stronger hardware?

Dynamic lighting vs Pre-baked textures / lighting.


Game on the left also is using Normal maps where as the pokemon game prob doesn't need them.

guarantee those are emulated screenshots on the left

You guys act like the Switch isn't a handheld console.

>it's actually the other way
>the 10 year old game doesn't need normal maps while Pokémon does

Yeah that's what he said, retard. You can turn and twist it how you want, though, even with a bit better resolution a game that old shouldn't look leagues more advances.

It doesn't occur to you that Gamefreak is just bad and lazy? It hardly looks on par with a brawler on the Wii with 100 enemies on screen.

It's fucking gamefreak, they are incompetent since their inception
>Fucked up gen 1 so that miyamoto told them to delay the game multiple times
>Fucked up gen 2 until Iwata save them
>Fucked up gen 3 they literally erase gotta catch em all from the boxart
I can go on but I am as lazy as gamefreak

because you play shitty nintendo games.

whats the game on the left?

Gamefreak is THAT lazy.

Problem Child 3.

But none of these games were made by nintendo

Last Story for the Wii

The hardware though. Also published/partially financed by them

Pokémon is made for children and thus has colorful and "cuddly" graphics and is a bad example to compare to a grimdark 'ish game

>it's for kids so it's okay
That's the age-old shitty excuse for low quality.

I'm not saying it's okay, but it is a stylistic choice to have simple and colorful graphics

You can't expect much from a weak tablet.

Looks worse than colorful old games as well tho, despite having no freedom.

It's bullshit and you know it
OP's comparison was terrible but Pokemon should be better

this looks like this though. Especially the environment.

Textures are textures, polycount is polycount, doesn't matter what the art style is or the demographic.
