Defend this

they look the same tbqh

I mean, your computer is likely packing stronger hardware than the switch is. Just because they over did the models for the 3DS (Fucking totem fights and shit were the WORST on a normal 3DS because it couldn't fucking handle 5 models on screen at once) doesn't somehow lessen the quality of the switch models. Or do you want more 12 FPS pokemon battles?

No need to defend anything, that picture kills itself alone.

Gamefreak just follows Nintendo's philosophy.

Why can't I walk on the hill? Why do fences STILL exist in a mainline home console Pokemon game? I'm an increasingly more upset Pokemon fan. I want the series to evolve, but GameFreak glued on an everstone.

Post pics of said games or they don't exist.

its actually illegal to walk on those irl

Thanks.

Why these incompetent retards couldn't stick to 2D? It's pretty clear they can't do shit with 3D, i would genuinely prefer something like Octopath rather than this abomination

Not trying to defend it, but it's on the Switch bro, not exactly a power house. The peak of what I'd expect out of anything on it visually is maybe like stuff from mid-last-gen. You're foolish to expect anything more at this point. Shit looks fine for what it is. With that said I still probably won't play it, Pokémon is just something that hasn't managed to get its hooks into me since Red/Blue.

SIXTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING TAX AND SHIPPING

it's supposed to fucking look like that you dumb ass. it's a children's game. it's like saying "WHYYY IS THIS SHOW DRAWN AS A CARTOON AND DOESNT LOOK LIKE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT?? WHAAAAT I DONT GET ITTTT"

While those fences are illegal to trespass, it would still be nice to traverse through fields akin to these.

So this is what we should expected the power of the Switch? Running fucking 3ds graphics at high res?

>It looks like shit on purpose

That's a low price to hang out with such a cute girl.

>buying a game for the graphics alone

No one NO ONE would be buying 2D games on the fucking 3DS even if its pokemon

What makes people buy pokemon games over and over again?BOTW was a new thing for the zelda franchise,same for Mario's Odissey,but this?They've made minor graphics upgrade and changed region

Console war anons are trying to bait and defend the new game in every thread based on graphics by comparing it to phone/ps2/etc. games.

The real issue is the goddamn fences still being in Pokemon. Make it a little more open world.

what's the matter OP? Got too BTFO when tryign to use shitty reused Unreal engine reloaded assets?

NINTENDO

don't buy it then, and enjoy missing out on a fun game

Pokemon was always an handheld video game franchise,that way they didn't have to upgrade the graphics that much and why it didn't release in Wii and Wii U.Also let's not forget the fact that in 2001 Crystal released for the game boy color and motherfucker Metal Gear Solid 2 released for PS2.The games main thing was gameplay,and the accessability and portability of the handheld consoles made it easy for people to play pokemon.

Name a lazier franchise in gaming than pokemon that sells millions. Even call of duty and assassins creed try harder.

Right has clearly better models, textures, and lighting, despite being snagged off a stream and still having a good 8 months of development to go through. Maybe you should go compare the first SM trailer to the final product.

We know nothing about the game or how much content it has stop projecting shit before we even know anything

Citra Canary. You need a decent computer tho to run it. Also play Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, even if the overall narrative is worse.

why?
if nintendo releases a switch 2 with modular upgrade capabilities to give the option to spend more to unlock higher performances, does that not count either?

If you think this looks like n64 then you’re not old enough to be posting here.
Even with how ahead of the curb Stadium was, these models are clearly much better. Another person exaggerating for attention.
This is legitimately the real disappointment. Not the graphics, not the “switch is wiiu2” argument, but the fact that Pokémon has done NOTHING to up its game since fucking Gold and Silver.
Give us extra gym badges, let us have secret forts again, make the fashion thing a staple, let us make those weird poke foods from 4th gen, let us move between regions and fight previous main characters, make tons of special events for all the legendaries, give us decent fucking starters or let us choose a starter from last gen, bring back all the good music tracks from previous games, give us the casino and the creepy ass ruins and the weird events and some kind of team rocket style baddy that actually is relevant to the game, use all 100 levels and stop capping off the need to level up at 60-70, stop making one off gimmicks and give us interesting new moves, or new type effects, for God’s sake GameFreak just build on the shit you’ve made instead of recycling it!

Game Freak is horribly lazy with visuals.
I mean, I thought that was obvious enough considering their graphics haven't gotten better since the Gamecube era, but here we are.

I'm perfectly fine with this level of graphix, the real issue is that they're probably once again not gonna manage to reach a proper framerate.

Not really fussed about pokemon or the drama that people bring up about it, but the latest one looks pretty cute, and frankly i'm just happy for all the art of the pokegirl.

I actually agree with you user. Little bits of polish matter so much.
We used to call it the nintendo difference.

Fortnite looks like trash but still looks better than this. That's fucking pathetic.

I think thats what they want because to me this game doesn't look that bad, people praise Yokai's new game graphics and I don't see that much of a difference

Yes it does. Visual detail is literally hidden under muddying up of pixelation/approximation.
For example, you cannot make out the finer details of a MH3DS armor, you can see it has clean textures, sublte edges and rims by unlocking the res.

If it didn't change the graphics it wouldn't be an additional tax on the system, thus you would always unlock it for maximum capacity in any situation, as it would have no downside. Most games contain assets with higher resolution than the main constraint because that fares better with downsizing, during slow panning and such, much like downscaling 8k to 4k to play in 4k will create better 4k images than straight 4k. It just creates more accurate approximation of the image and everything is cleaner.

Most games contain tech to benefit from higher internal resolution right out of the box, you just are not able to see it on the intended console output. Hence why it's inferior.

You are wrong and clueless. On everything.

you see that place there....you cant go there

are the trees 2D? lmfao

I won't buy it but I will play it anyways :)

USUM came out months later after the switch release. It's been nearly two years. They also made fucking LGPE during that time.
There's absolutely no fucking excuse for being this lazy, specially when they're reusing so many fucking assets.

NUH UH YOU'RE GETTING 8 (EIGHT) GYMS, 1 (ONE) ELITE FOUR AND MAYBE 2 (TWO) VILLAIN DUNGEONS. IF YOU'RE A GOOD BOY WE MIGHT THROW IN SOME HALF BAKED BATTLE TOWER BUT DON'T EXPECT IT, YOU FUCKING ENTITLED FAGGOT.

As a britfag, It was funny for 2 days

Yeah, im 19 now, does change that the gameplay hasn't been switched up from 'linear RPG' for over 25 years, they're working with more powerful hardware than a solely handheld system and it's a new game yet they're following the same formula

that's not the real issue
the real issue is that the game is going to be piss easy and still hold your hand right up until the pokemon league
there's not going to be any challenge, your pokemon will level up extremely fast, the world will not have interesting side quests, it will be extremely linear, there will be 50 event legendaries that you can only get during some certain time through wifi download and all the gay shit like mega evolutions and z moves will still be there including some new shit that will not add anything fresh to the game

>It's a pokemon game, who cares about the graphics?
This exact mentality is why Game Freak knows it's okay to put absolutely zero effort into the graphics (and Pokemon as a whole, really)

Not even gonna defend this.

I remember back in gen 2 there was speculation about a 3D pokemon game that looked pretty much like a fucking MMO or modern WRPG. Back then people already wanted such thing. Nintendo has been able to do something like this for years, and now they're bringing the new gen to one of their home consoles rather than a handheld, they decide to limit it this way. First by giving us a disappointment based on Pokemon Go and then this bullshit. They can suck on a dick.

... Bad graphics are bad graphics. It doesn't matter if it's 480p or 720p if the trees are 2D and the textures are fucking flat and undetailed. You fucking idiot.

Resolution has nothing to do with the polygonal state of the game.

You either misread my comment or are are just a contrarian.

Resolution affects the detail you can see in TEXTURE work, yes, but it's not going to suddenly make a fucking beautifully modeled, detailed polygonal tree look 2D and flat.
It doesn't matter if you run a NINTENDO 64 game in 1080p. the polygons and textures aren't going to change.

Attached: Boshi.jpg (328x450, 16K)

Most of MLPs audience was children. Get off of Yea Forums once in a while. It is not an accurate sample of the norm.

Can you fucking imagine GF trying to develop and manage a fucking MMO? Jesus fucking christ.

It's Nintendo games.
What, do you want the new Pokemon game to look like the detective Pikachu movie?

And the hilarious part is that the 3ds titles were not properly downscaled and were left at their 720p futureproof level of detail, meaning that the 3ds specs hid all of that detail regardless but the games on that system ran at 20fps or lower as a result of that overflow of unexploited power.

pokemon fans can't catch a break. there is yet to be one functioning pokemon videogame to be released that has equivalent content to another game that's considered finished and good. It's either a myriad of gamebreaking bugs, zero difficulty implementation, or shit performance/visuals.

It cannot be that fucking complicated after 20+ years

Don't market it for us then

Nigga Sonic in 240p looks the same as Sonic in 1080p. You can't see details that aren't there to begin with. Shitty textures and flat blocky shapes don't benefit from higher res.

there's a reason why the top 3 MMOs today are maintained by the biggest publishers in the world (activision, square enix, tencent

visual clarity doesn't affect the graphical output of a game.

game freak isnt nintendo faggot

infinity blade, all 3 are great. too bad its iOS only.

This fucking guy gets it
Pokemon SS is literally just a fucking Wii game, but running at 720p instead of 480p thanks to the switch hardware. Those textures are something you'd find in a 10~15 year old game.

Honestly, I think Sword and Shield have a fantastic art style and great use of color

But HOLY FUCK Gamefreak please put some effort into the textures

the problem with a pokemon mmo would be that it'd be over too quick. it doesn't take that long to get to level 100. and all you'd do is have online battles anyway.
there isn't much content they could add beyond what's already in the main games

the best they could do is add some sort of tournament mode where every season someone gets to be the pokemon champion

I think it's to early to say, but don't forget.
sub 30fps

it's gamefreak you fucking idiot not nintendo

That's honestly the worst thing about all of the screenshots. Like I don't give a shit that the game is upscaled 3DS crap.
But that looks like Oblivion on low settings. Fucking embarassing.

I didn't say they were, retard

Solution: Gamefreak should switch for better textures when a battle starts / the game goes into an enclosed space.
The game looks a lot better than the previous ones since it actually seems to be adding actual facial and body animations.

Also I hope the framerate is decent, I cannot understand how gamefreak is completely unable to optimise their games. Do they just not let Nintendo help any longer?

HIRETHISMAN

FE has always looked like shit. the gamecube and wii games looked terrible

Pokemon games, and most semilinear/linear games, are designed so you can't go somewhere there's nothing to interact with. Complete open world sounds nice on paper, but there are plenty of people who dislike it when you're able to go somewhere but there's nothing to actually do there. Both styles have their strengths and merits, but Pokemon has never allowed you to go somewhere there wasn't at least an NPC to talk to.

is this adventure time reference?

I have a feeling this is the same situation of when they showed off Botw on Wii U where it looked dull as shit and had them showing off how the horses dodge trees. The game wasn't anywhere finished then, and I think this is the same situation. I don't expect this game to be done this year.

utterly embarassing

I'd honestly have a 2D pokemon at this point.

Anyone have those images explaining how SuMo loaded models?

Literally oblivion mountains in Sword and Shield.

There's a good possibility that Game Freak is gonna fix the main complaints with SuMo in S&S. They made a point to say they're gonna make it the best Pokemon game ever.

It's a good response because it adequately describes your pathetic attempt at a defense.

Monolith produced a miracle with this game on Wii U. It's by far the best looking Wii U game and pushes the hardware to it's absolute maximum.

Stop spreading lies, the Vita had unironically better JRPGs with better graphics than this shitshow, even the Digimon game is miles better than this crap.

Well, if graphics don't matter then why isn't gamefreaking making the game a 3DS exclusive? It clearly looks and runs like one, except that this time it has less portability and you have to pay for online. If they want to make a console game, then make a fucking console game for fucks sake

The game is probably being designed exclusively with handheld mode in mind.

>comparing emulation to YouTube screenshots
That being said, Gamefreak has no defense and are definitely the laziest game devs in the industry

> Resolution affects the detail you can see in TEXTURE work, yes, but it's not going to suddenly make a fucking beautifully modeled, detailed polygonal tree look 2D and flat.

I'm sure that beautifully modeled, detailed polygonal tree would look just as nice in a 2x2 window as it does in full hd. No, that definitely makes sense, you are right user.

good lord you kids are fucking spoiled. This shit looks completely fine and nerds like you whine about "garbage textures".

No wonder you've never had sex. Jesus tapdancing christ

The game is probably finished already. This is fucking gamefreak we're talking about. I mean, SM's doubles battles ran at 10 FPS. One year later they release USUM which is the newly improved edition: double battles are still fucking slideshows.
If anything, expect downgrades since gamefreak loves to cherrypick the best footage for their trailers. Kinda like how they did with USUM, where they showed a newly retextured route 1 in the trailers, but that was actually the only fucking route that got any improvement.

Switch is superior to PS3.

Wii U was not. Well, it's GPU was, but that doesn't help much with such an old CPU.

Wii U produced a far better looking game.

Are you actually retarded? Pulling down the resolution on your computer isn't even remotely the same thing as viewing it on a smaller device.

>cherrypicked
Because it's literally the best and only good looking area in the game.

Defend what? It looks good and that's what matters

>Switch is powerful hardware
Who is claiming this? Stop being retarded OP.

remember when pokemon MC designs typically had a quirk or two that makes them not look like a random NPC instead of "oh but they wear a hat"

Mobile games also cost more and have better hardware than the switch. No one is surprised the switch has terrible performance in anything retard.

blame the autismos that keep buying these games. ordinary people have played MAX two games in the series before realizing it will never change and giving up on it entirely. it really should only take one game to realize this but some people are optimists.

Why do work when people will eat up anything you put out?

no

Nothing wrong with graphics being anything other than what the creator intended. Graphics aren't video games.

>They made a point to say they're gonna make it the best Pokemon game ever.
That depends on what their definition of that means. At the very least when they said "this is a game for people that have played a pokemon game before" I hope it means they'll have no handholding and a billion tutorial npcs but I'm not expecting much. These people will say anything to get you to buy their game.

I mean mobile devices not games.

oh boy, a high draw distance and resolution so we can look at all the beautiful nothing they have in the environment and all the ps2 tier assets in the background we can never go to

Because GameFreak is an incompetent developer and anybody who expects genuine evolution from Pokemon is delusional.
If you want something ambitious out of the Pokemon formula then play some romhacks or fangames or something.

I'd settle for Ni No Kuni.

No fuck off with you faggots thinking shitty unreal engine side empty field demos are anything. Same shit happened with some fag's zelda recreation.

bend over and check under the bed

Nah, that sounds stupid. Lets just remove almost everything we keep adding from gen to gen while not advancing much outside of shitty one note gimmicks and underused ones

They'll spoil the entirety of the game before launch to maximize hype for sure. They've done it again and again while receiving no backlash from every single time. I'm glad I'm gonna pirate it 2 weeks early, at least there will be some surprises left.

At least Sekiro will have good level design.

the sad part is Sword Shield is going to look worse because its only 720p. hopefully they come out with a 1080p switch model for launch day so the game looks better without any additional work from those lazy ass fuckers at gamefreak

>I have a feeling this is the same situation of when they showed off Botw on Wii U
You mean they'll keep pushing the release date an entire gen until they get it right? This is gamefreak we're talking about, they never gave a shit about "getting it right" and would always push out their unfinished crap because the masses will eat it up either way.

dont care. Still gonna buy at launch after exclusives are revealed.

But normal people do not care and the game will still sell like hotcakes

>As a britfag, It was funny for 2 days
Also a britfag. No it wasn't. British culture can be so much worse and more entertaining for that reason, especially in the North

nice

This. I skipped USUM and LGPE and I'm skipping this as well.

This right here.

fuckers in denial that this poke switch game isn't at all pushing the graphical limits. people who accept shit off the bat and don't complain will never get anything quality.

im in the fucking north, I constantly want to shoot myself

Okay, what does that have to do with my post?

It wasn't really "40 people and a cup of noodles", Monolithsoft had to outsource almost all of the 3D modelling/graphics in order to finish the game with such a small team, if you look at the credits it's far more than 40 people. Still very impressive though.

Even Rune Factory 5 will end up looking more advanced.

don't mind me

I don't even know what you where trying to say honestly

As an adult, I have no interest in pokemon games. But I actually like the art direction of the new games. Not everything has to be super gritty realistic AAA. I mean I am not saying there is anything wrong with the latter. But P5 was one of the most gorgeous games of this gen and it looks just as simple. I get we have to harp on every switch game that doesn't look like TW3 for being proof that switch sucks or whatever. But this is hardly Link's awakening ugly.

>the switch is a handheld
WHOA

>Not everything has to be super gritty realistic AAA.
>I get we have to harp on every switch game that doesn't look like TW3

Where do you fags pull these assumptions from? How does pointing out that the games look more and more like low budget plastic shit somehow equate to "must become ultrarealistic 4K brown'n'bloom"?

Because it seems to do a good job of pulling of the intended art style, and comparisons like the OP are like "look what this OLD game looks like in an EMULATOR WITH INCREASED RESOLUTION." or "WOW LOOK AT THIS OLD GAME" so it seems to be more a critique of the graphics than the art direction. Personally I even prefer the left over the right, as the faces on the right look a bit weird and the 3d anime effect seems overdone.

>Personally I even prefer the left over the right, as the faces on the right look a bit weird and the 3d anime effect seems overdone.

They're the same fucking faces.

You blind m80? I will give the 3ds game the benefit of the doubt and say it was never meant to be viewed at a higher resolution but come on.

Little kids are the most likely demographic to shit on a game for bad visuals. If anything, they should be extra careful about the graphical presentation of Pokemon games.

>what is fortnite.
Also, it A) probably appeals to small children and
B) the user is right. Unless you are looking to buy it for a child, you really shouldn't care. You weren't gonna buy it for yourself? were you faggot? You are not one of them brony/ /vp/ types are you weirdo? gonna have to put you on a watchlist.

Textures look even worse.

>Little kids are the most likely demographic to shit on a game for bad visuals.
I admit that I am detached from social circles and haven't spoken to a kid since I was one, but this sounds like absolute bullshit. What do kids care if the graphics are great, so long as they can have a sick dragon or a cute kitten? Are they really like that now?

No he is doing a "kids these days!" type diatribe combined with and pretending "kids" means teens who have long since outgrown pokemon, so he can feel like less of a manchild.

They're not valid.

Sure thing, Nintendo.

Ni No Kuni was developed for a weaker console than the Switch and it looks like this

The Pokemon could actually look like this without much trouble. The models are there and they are high poly already. They just need to work on the shaders.

>LITERALLY
Nice meme, also no, it wasn't. You fell for a god damned meme, and you can even look this up yourself for proof. Go watch the ending credits for the game and you can clearly see that the development team went far beyond 40 people.

youtube.com/watch?v=iPWzgML2xlk

It starts at 2:03.

Pokemon games play the exactly same way since 1996. Graphics and new pokemon designs are all there is to compare because everything else is fundamentally the same, faggot.

I will never not be mad. That thing looks like garbage. Normies think it looks fine, they love Ryan Reynolds because they love they super funny irreverent deadpool. The "jokes" in the trailers are fucking terrible. This whole movie looks terrible, but it will make a lot of money. I fucking despise this timeline.
