That looks pretty good.

I've come to believe that Nintendo fans always like to shit on fan projects because they know that Nintendo can't make games that actually look good. You're all just bitter and embarrassed that people at home can make fan projects that look more interesting than anything they actually produce in their professional studios.

this looks comfy

These colors on something more like OP's image would be great.
A very modern and highly-detailed pixel style.

Pokemon is literally one of the best ideas ever.
But our only hope for good games is Nintendo letting some Indies do something.

>Red Gyarados
>Red (the Trainer)
>Not Gold (the Trainer)
It's shit.

That game came out after the near launch title Gen 3. Off yourself autist.

This is seriously the greatest looking Pokemon romhack/fangame I've seen. I'm assuming its going to play just like the main games right?

Looks bland and empty

SOUL

Nintendo has sub-par work but the average fanworks all blend in together with the exact same Unreal Engine-type stuff

Is it even a game? I thought it was just some guy making purty pictures.

It's probably just art but I'm not sure.

this has a good sense of scale. BotW would have like 5 visible towers in the background

HeartGold also looked like ass. The entire DS era of Pokemon is nauseating. I can't stand the blurry 2.5D puke. Go back to sprites.

I don't know how anyone could defend gamefreak at this point. They no longer make mainline games on handhelds but still produce minimal effort handheld tier games.

Gen 3 was literally the most crucial gen as far as defining future gameplay post gen1

I'd be 100% ok with pokemon going back to well done pixels with interesting characters and enviroments, I think it lends itself to the franchise better than 3D for the sake of being modern.

>>it makes money so it's good and you are being ridiculous to expect better
Didn't say that though
All I said is that you will seethe forever like you're doing now. Though you all seem to take pride in the fact that you let Gamefreak give you ulcers while they make billions.

Even up the the current Gen, there are good things, but Gamefreak's laziness has shown pretty heavily, getting worse and worse since probably Gen III.
Gens III and IV are still the best overall, though.

>Every town should be a gym, pokemon center, and market

I mean, I do now.

Gen 2 added breeding
Gen 4 added physical/special split

Gen 3 added natures? Help me out here I'm not trying to argue

I really like the idea of OP's image, in that it's a more fleshed out version of gen 2 aeshetics, but it's also a lot more visually busy and vlisually detailed then it needs to be even with that in mind, and the player character stands out too muich from everything else in the overworld.

I'm personally a big fan of Pokemon Sage (/vp/'s serious fangame, as opposed to Clover being the ebin meme one)'s visual design. It's a bit more detailed then Gen 4, while using gen 4 as a base, but also entirely 2d with none of the fake 3d stuff, pic related

there's a few webms of it, yeah

Nah, Gen 4 is, special/physical split is probably the single biggest mechanical change the series has ever had

Pokemon will only improve once Nintendo obtains full control.

Until then GF will keep doing stupid shit like this since their programmers are the same retards they have had since the 90s.

GBA for emulation and ROMhacks
DS for BW2 and HG/SS(and the hacks of these were quite good)
everything else in modern pokemon can fuck off. X/Y was ok but everything else has been garbage.

It looks decent when he leaves the town
but damn that's a fuck ton of clutter

I dont know the game on the left but dragonball advanced adventure and minish cap are both much smaller than gen 3

Are you talking about the core formula or general game polish? Because you're not supposed to mess with the core formula for the main games, it's why many people disliked Let's Go despite its shitty looks.

>Pokemon will only improve once Nintendo obtains full control.
as awful as game freak is, that is FAR from a sure bet. look no further than how miyamoto meddled with paper mario and ruined it.
the only way we'll be guaranteed to ever get good pokemon games again is if they're outsourced to a studio like atlus or falcom that specializes in making great jrpgs.

Pokemon should be 2d. The 3d games showed how shitty and tiny the world looks.

>gen 2
genders, held items, breeding, friendship
>gen 3
Natures, abilities, natural learnsets that didnt suck complete ass, IV rehaul, rematch system

That looks semi-decent given the limitations, but I'd try to put the Pokemon in more bright/vivid tones, and leave the more subdued or darker tones for the environment.
that way you could more easily tell sprites apart from the background.

If I had to guess. They have seniors on the team, who have not adapted or advanced in their craft very much. And they don't want to fire the old staff out of respect.

I remember mentioning ages ago how they should have a gym be maze-like with elevators and most people told me to fuck off, I'm happy to see they implemented something like it in the end!

The like the concept. Without nitpicking the washed out BOTW look. How would gameplay work in a game like this? Trainer giving commands? Controlling the Pokemon itself in free range real time battle? Would you be forced to battle with a surfing or flying Pokemon?

>Gamefreak peaked during second gen
They peaked during Gen 5, 2 was worse off because they added Kanto instead of focusing on Johto.

He's right. No town in Johto is shaped like that.
Are you sure it isn't an OC region?

>natural learnsets
They still sucked ass until Gen 4.

the core formula needs modernizing and more polish. Take the encounter system for example. Random encounters are shit and every other jrpg knows this and adapted. Let's go was a step in the right direction on that front even if it wasn't perfect (the actual classic catching method is fine and didn't need to be changed). Instead of fixing it and the world around it, gamefreak is just running back to the same old outdated shit

Gen 2 has great aesthetics but saying it was the peak is pure contrarianism, especially when there was a remake with objectively superior gameplay.

Nah, gen 4 actually made them significantly worse with the phys/spec split. As with all things gen 4 was garbage and gen 5 had to work hard to make the franchise playable again.

that is so jarring still, most games nowadays don't do that anymore

>Let's go was a step in the right direction on that front even if it wasn't perfect (the actual classic catching method is fine and didn't need to be changed).
also, they really needed to redesign kanto and get it up to modern standards for the visible encounters to work. but we all know they're afraid to change so much as a single pixel of kanto out of fear of genwunners' reaction to it.

>Nah, gen 4 actually made them significantly worse with the phys/spec split.
Bullshit, it gave many of them good learnsets. Compare Sycther's Gen 3 learnset with 4 and you see he got better. The split was one of the best things to happen to the series.

Thank god.

user why you gotta do me like this

If it was actually the trainer giving commends, that would be great. Different Pokemon will have different levels of intelligence, and you actually need to train them. You teach them not moves with actual names, but simply the raw action and to apply magic to it. Like just teaching a punching move by teaching to punch when you say a term, and it could be anything, like "Strategy 23!" and then they'll punch with fire on their fist. You could also teach them to attack, say, the neck of the opponent and smart Pokemon will be able to locate the neck, while dumb ones will have trouble. And Pokemon like Gyrafarig will gives lots of trouble, with its decoy head. And smarter Pokemon will both be harder to train, as well as capable of holding more vaguely-named moves.

Not as much under wraps as it should be by the looks of it.

>the actual classic catching method is fine and didn't need to be changed

I agree with the spirit of your post, but I don't think the catching method is fine. That shit was outdated by the time Gold and Silver came around, that's why they introduced gimmicks like the special ball types to make it a little more interesting. I guess that was fine for a stop gap, but even little kid me was wondering why the system was the same in Ruby/Sapphire.

Pokemon could have a whole lot of more unique mechanics if it pared down the number of Pokemon. For example, imagine if they added special capturing conditions for all Pokemon. This would feasible with ~200 creatures, but not ~1,000. They could add special move/creature interactions, or cross-creature interactions if they had few mons, but not with the current amount. So instead, they throw their hands up and say fuck it.

Reboot the motherfucker. Eventually, one new generation of 8-12 year olds will have enough of the same shit and the sales will slow.

I fucking wish.

this looks good.
is this bait? cuz it worked

rent free lmao

Just having similar Pokemon react similarly would be fine.

Nah, Monolith's brilliant world design manage to take their game far and above GameFreak's copy-pasted tiles, regardless of handheld mode performances. Also worth nothing that GF can't even keep a stable framerate in a turn-based battle if there's more than two Pokémon on screen.

The 3DS was the PSP one with tons of new stuff but yeah. Game Freak are hacks.

Like what?

Pokemon is one of the blandest, most inoffensive media franchises in the world. They found what works and they've stuck with it ever since. Why bother trying to innovate when your game is going to sell gangbusters as long as Pikachu and Charizard are in advertisements?

I would play the hell out of this game

I prefer 2D but I don't think the 3D games should have been as bad as they've been. It's just that with the tech we have now, there's no excuse why pokemon should have that soulless miniature doll look with unimpressive pokemon models and animations. With 3D you kinda have to go big or go home if you're gonna do a mainline pokemon correctly. Fanboys will eat anything GF puts out so there's no point in trying on their end.

Game Freak's stuck on the "Pokemon is meant for handheld" idea. They consider it to be a core part of the franchise's identity. That means that any Pokemon game made for the Switch will be developed explicitly with the portable mode in mind.

I've been looking for this for AGES now. I hope you get your dick sucked soon user.

Seethis is a TRUE open world game concept, the closest thing to it to this day is Shadow of the Colossus, we'll never get a game that is lifelike. They're always overcrowded with random shit. I un-ironically want a game where it takes me 30 minutes to traverse the desert, maybe have a small outpost in the middle. Maybe unlock a vehicle to traverse faster, but no game has done this.

Real-sized Pokemon would be the shit. Imagine confronting a wailord or any massive sized legendary. I love how eerie this pic is. Gives me sotc feelings.

It's the house in the Dragon cave where you have to talk to the master before you can get your blackthorn badge iirc.

they haven't done it because it's fucking tedious. the actual open worlds we get in gaming today are bad enough with how empty and devoid of content they are.

Make ONE SINGLE major change to pokemon.

Instead of your first slot pokemon automatically getting sent out, you begin the battle by choosing which of your 6 pokemon your send into battle. When it's you vs. a trainer, both of you choose at the same time.

You. I like you. Honestly the only change from any of the remakes so far I didn't like was in OR/AS where it prevented you from going far enough in granite cave to catch an Aron. Aron is one of my favourite pokemon so I was pretty pissed about this.

Nah sounds like shit.

You can date trainers and travel with them and you can date gym leaders and you can marry trainers you date and battling and i guess you need to pokemon affect it somehow in some way or something, maybe you can also date pokemon i dunno i

Problem is Pokemon has very inconsistent sizes for Pokemon.
Charizard is a manlet in actuality even though the anime made him huge.

If they were to do that they should implement Pokemon Go's "size" system where the Pokemon can have size variance (but have it actually affect the models). Maybe have some rare "giant" Pokemon that are tougher.

Be kind to user, he probably hasn't been to a lake that wasn't just a glorified puddle before.

pokemon is a $90 billion franchise. money is no object.

Diamond and Pearl came out 12 years ago.

And all of that profit turned from rehashing the same low budget cookier cutter shit for 20 years. Why change anything? People who know how to make money like that focus on profit margins, not project scope. Making my game bigger and better doesn't get me a bigger yacht.

No more random encounters. Pokemon appear in the overworld like in Let's Go but the world is larger to accommodate them. They have simple actions like eating, wandering, running away when scared, etc. More aggressive Pokemon will charge at you.

Pokemon ecosystem, basically? Sounds expensive.

make it an option
>party type
>(select) or (order)

you're preaching to the choir here. it's embarrassing that people still give game freak their money for such a mediocre product.
i'm a pokemon fan, but after the shitshow that was the 3ds era, i refuse to buy any more pokemon games until i see actual effort befitting of a $90 billion franchise. gen 7's wasted potential was the last straw for me. i didn't buy legpiss, and after what they showed from sword/shield, i'm not buying that either.

I fucking wish

They could easily have a couple different archetypes that are recycled between the Pokemon. You only need like, "prey" "passive" and "predator" and those behaviors can just be reused. I'm not expecting anything fancy which is why I said simple actions.

Close enough to old pixel art and far enough from modern "retro" game art style. I could rate this 9.5/10

It's nothing more competent devs haven't done before.

X/Y were unironically my favorite games in the series. The large variety of pokemon available in the wild right from the start, the fairly large pokedex, the fun things to do besides running from gym to gym like trainer customization, restaurants, battle chateau, pokemon-amie, etc. none of which were locked behind post-game and stayed relevant throughout the game, the PSS and constantly being able to trade/battle/chat and use other online features at any time from anywhere in the field, the alternative EV training methods with super training and more convenient breeding mechanics all kept me invested and made the actual 8 badges/E4 playtime take much longer for me than normal. I know the flaws that usually get levied at X and Y and I think they are fair but god damn I loved swapping in new team members on every route just because I kept running into so many pokemon that I loved from various generations.

Crystal/FRLG is best artstyle imo
Both would be fantastic games to nuzlocke with randomized wild/starters.

Can you make an argument for how this would turn profits for the series? You can't, because it won't, and even if you could, it's probably too risky. Denied.

And you'd have to have been 4 years old when they came out to like them.

Pokemon should look like this

Realistically, is there any way the series can actually tank? That's basically the only way they would have to get their shit in order

I mean, the post was "make one major change to Pokemon" not "make one change to Pokemon that Game Freak will actually do because they're cheap bastards"

I agree with a lot of your points but being so much of a cakewalk and railroady holds it back from being truely great

Pokemon games are all the same. You'd have to be a fucking autist to like one but hate another.

Why would want to change the game in a way that would lead it to less success and inevitable nonexistence/failure?

The gameplay and design hasn't evolved past gen 3 so why not make the games look like a GBA game? Sword/Shield already just looks like an upscaled 3DS game anyway.

Seething cause he knows Sinnoh is better than his favorite region.

Especially since the games sell 4x as much as Dragon Quest (and 10x as much as DQ Monsters). There's no excuse for how little money they put into graphics.

But even if Pokemon had the best graphics possible, the gameplay wouldn't utilize them. You'd just be running around on really pretty linear paths. It'd be like FFXIII all over again.

the rest of the world would have to get a spine and some standards like the japanese fans have. legpiss flopped hard in japan, and they won't hesitate to switch to a competing series like yo-kai watch that puts more effort into their products - unlike the west, who refuses to accept that monster-collecting is a genre that exists beyond pokemon.

I could make the argument that it would be more successful because it would provide a fresh change for the series, attract Monster Hunter and Xenoblade fans, or other fans of games with monster ecosystems, while improving on a concept they already experimented with in LGPE that was received well, making a direct improvement to the game flow (being able to see the Pokemon you want outright without waiting for a random 5% chance for them to show up), all while without being too complex to be unfeasible for 700+ Pokemon.

The trainer can fight alongside their pokemon like in one of the original concepts for the series (the trainers with the whips in gen 1 among other unused stuff on TCRF). Human vs. Pokemon isn't really explored all that well in the games, but it's been scraped by on numerous occasions (pokemon being a threat to humans without one of their own, Kyurem about to literally impale you before N shows up, wars between humans using Pokemon as tools in the history of the game world, etc.). It'd be really cool to be a strong enough human that you could use things like moves among other tools by yourself and can actually stand toe-to-toe with all but the strongest pokemon.

Imagine fighting the box legendary of the game except it's you yourself fighting them alongside your six party pokemon in a 7-versus-1 battle. That would be super cool.

Someone tell virgins to stop drawing shit, that May looks like crap.

You're underestimating the scope of your change. We'd have to do changes to the way we structure environments, and that would fuck with our already solid development pipeline. We'd have to create things for pokemon to interact with, and also consider how pokemon will react to each other. Not all pokemon are on the same animation rig. If we had a pokemon AI type eat berries from the ground, we'd have to create that animation for every pokemon, and for every other type of action. It's not as easily transferable. Again, adding onto our already well developed pipeline. I also think your argument about MH and Xeno fans hurts your case even more than you've already made it. Those fans are not our target audience. The pokemon franchise has solidified itself as being an accessible and easy to play mobile game series for a long time. Why would we want to change that now? Bringing in elements like a pokemon ecosystem will only harm the current casual experience and won't be near enough to supplement any theoretic pull from other audiences. I don't think your vision of where pokemon should go in the future aligns with ours. If people want more developed creature interactions, they're welcome to play games like MH. If you'd like to discuss highly monetized, outsourced mobile game options, we're open to discussion. Otherwise, I'd suggest you take this concept to another publisher or make your own game.

Well we were talking about regions not gens as a whole.

if pokemon were real, will the government try to regulate trainers by taking tests to see which pokemon are allowed to get what if they get a pokemon they shouldn't? will they have to go through a test every town/city they enter?

I think gen 4 looks best, like heart gold, but gen 5 looks pretty slick too.
Definitely prefer the high quality sprites over the lazy 3d stuff.
I can understand them wanting to move to 3d models though, having to redraw nearly a thousand highly detailed and unique pokemon sprites every game can't be light on the budget or time.

Why are zoomers such big faggots?

I'll take a look, but what I really need is a romhack of pokémon GSC with that aesthetics.

This was a plot point early on in the anime where they did that episode where Ash and friends' Pokemon end up on an island by themselves with Team Rocket's Pokemon. Jessie and James' Ekans and Koffing said something like, "We're not bad. There's no bad Pokemon, only bad people."

You're right, here it is in 8 color grayscale.

I mean it's playable, some areas are worse than others which is why everybody only ever uses Gormott where it's particularly bad instead of any other area, and on the screen it can be tolerable. Using the actual handheld and seeing the shitty resolution on a monitor is pretty different If you just want to play the game in portable mode you won't die from using it.

Then you play in docked and it's fucking night and day because that's where all the effort went. Handheld is, if I recall correctly, more conservative on the battery compared to certain other games so the graphics take a hit in exchange for longer battery life.

That looks so fucking slow

Honestly the only way for pokemon to evolve significantly at this point is a crash. The problem is that with the amount of normie genwunners and the regular "buy everything praise everything" normies out there it's never going to happen. They could re-re-re-release RBY without fixing a single bug or glitch or anything and just adding more colors or some pixels and retards would still buy it.
Almost all the systems in the game are outdated, including the catch em' all part, which is skewed by the sheer number and by the fact that the game in no way encourages you to catch every mon.

I really just want almost no story bullshit of Team BADGUYS and the ability to start from any town/city in the old/new region they have decided on. The starters would depend on what town you picked as your starting location. So different playthroughs would have a different early game and feel to progression since you will actually be forced to get different shit than normal. I would also like to see non-linearity of route/gym progression. I hated the need for specific items or HMs, which just evolved into new things but the same hamfisted linearity pushed into these games never changed.

Why try when it'll sell anyway?

I'm in love.

XI, new one

It looks like one of those river king fishing RPGs for the SFC.

Everyone wants those since ages but the series is so dead-set on being formulaic it'll never happen. A fucking hard mode was added as a special feature then immediately scraped because it wasn't a gigantic success, even though every other game since forever has one.
I think the people at GF are still fossils stuck in the 90s and only interested in selling merch for 10yos instead of trying something new

Gamefreak were always incompetent. They needed Iwata to bail them out.

Kenshi comes close.

its not fucking fair bros

They should do it like Dragon Quest XI, with the option to switch between nostalgic old graphics and good new graphics.

Pokemon basically has the same reputation and cultural impact in America as DQ does in Japan, and GF has been trying to capitalize on that nostalgia for years now, they might as well go all the way.

Digimon next order lacked a lot of detail in the setting, no?
They corrected a bit for the PS4 version, but still not as comfy as World 1.
Of course still much better than pokemon that survives on marketing and nostalgia alone.

Nothing about that image implies open world, unless you consider most JRPGs like Xenoblade open world too.

All that is is bringing the game up to par with modern RPGs. Xenoblade, Ni no Kuni, and Dragon Quest make Pokemon look like a joke.

If I had to guess different people worked on different parts of the game and they just go art assets from the art team then at the end they just put all the independent pieces together. The bigger a project is the harder it is to be efficient with other programmers, sometimes you are just charged with your black box and get told what needs to come in and out of it. You can go back after the fact but most of the time its not even efficient to do so.

speed up the animations by about 15-25%

Warquila is literally Braviary

That demo wasn't very far in development though from what I heard. Didn't even have a story, did it?

I'm glad none of you niggers are in charge of grafix. Pokémon with realistic grafix doesn't work.

If you're bundling your area assets up then you can't reference textures outside the bundle so each area would need its own duplicate

I miss him, bros.

We don't fucking want realistic, we want Pokemon to look like BotW or DQ11.

This is gen2, autist

It's slightly too busy --some parts are not clear or don't make sense -- but overall it's beautiful, and ironically more detailed than the shit, soulless games we have now

Point me one person in this thread that proposed realistic graphics.

>that image
This is a seriously weak argument, a duplicate 7kb file is hardly the mark of incompetent programmers

If you're wasting time doing these sorts of micro-optimizations where they're not needed then your project has some serious prioritization issues

>waste all this time on battle arena and models
>attack effects still look basic and uninspired
Looks exactly like something gamefreak would do

Actually PBR was Genius Sonority

Actually badge obedience only matters for traded Pokemon.

Yeah, the original palette is better

Modded backlights exist

No it wouldn't. My powerlevel autism couldn't take it and I'm happy it's never going to happen.

So do you just look through threads waiting for someone to post something of Xenoblade X or 2 so you can post a super compressed Youtube screencap or what?

I like it, kinda reminds me of Golden Sun or any mana game

>tfw these graphics were around during generation 3
>tfw people complaining now that pokemon games look bad
>tfw pokemon games have always looked bad compared to what was out at the time

There are humans in the games that are able to contend with pokemon already -- namely some of the stronger black-belts and whatnot. You just never see it; it happens off-screen. All I want is for the protag to be one of those people.

CLUTTER GOOD
CLEAN BAD

>there's no excuse for Pokemon.
How about the fact that there's a thousand fucking Pokemon that are supposed to move around an open world and behave realistically. I'm not excusing Game Freak in any way, but the "dream Pokemon game" gets more unrealistic and nonviable with every passing gen, if it ever happens you can expect the Pokedex will be significantly pared down.

Pokemon will never be like this if you days keep buying the turds Game Freak keeps squeezing out

considering explorers of sky and emerald are the best pokemon games yes they should.

>wanking to muddy colors and shit graphics in year of our lord 1980+39
Your brain on Nintendo

wow this unironically looks like empty soulless shit

How about pre rendered cgi like super Mario rpg

The problem isn't the quality of the sprite work, it's the limited color palette. A limited color palette only works with minimalist sprites, otherwise it all looks like it's bleeding together.

A little less detail would honestly work wonders for this.

Looks damn great. But we'll never get it.

Different starting towns with different starters is a fantastic idea, but realistically how would a non-linear pokemon game work? Either you'd be soft railroaded since the gyms would be leveled like they currently are, or they'd have to implement level scaling and we all know how much people love that.

Do it like the Origin anime and have the gym leaders team change based on how many badges you have.
Or have the 3 starting towns all lead to the same second town.

You think red just appears on mt silver?

So it looks just like the image then?
Did you even look at it before whining or just glanced at the thumbnail

Don't worry, I talked to your boss and he said it was fine since it was Misty
Scaling with amount of badges would work. If you go to a gym at a low level you'll fight a Staryu and Psyduck compared to a Starmie, Golduck and Gyarados at a higher level. That would definitely be neat

You don't need to include every Pokemon in the region itself, as long as they can be traded from older games.
Just don't let them follow the character and you're fine. GF has enough money and time give all of them proper models.

>GF has enough money and time give all of them proper models.
Not to mention they have Creatures Inc do all the model work for Pokemon.

There's a crystal romhack that does that. Called crystal clear.

For the Pokemon themselves, rather.
