Sword and Shield

So can someone explain to me why the new Pokemon game is being developed for the Wii instead of the Switch? I mean it's cool looking for a Wii game I guess, but who has a Wii that isn't collecting dust in a box in this day and age. If they can get a Wii game looking as good as this, imagine what Gamefreak could do with the power of the Switch.

What?

They're saying it looks like shit.

Because nintendos gay tablet is barely any stronger than a wii
So they figured no one would be stupid enough to waste money on a switch right
So they made it for the wii

>graphics
>mattering

ah yes, remember such classics as Horizon: Zero Dawn and Rooty Tooty Point and Shooty 6?

He's being a right tosser, bloody wanker

It is being made for the switch retard.

>singular they
kill yourself

The Switch is only as powerful as the Wii

There's literally nothing wrong with the singular they, it's been in use for centuries.

Because Gamefreaks are talentless hacks and anyone still buying/playing their games are literal subhumans.

But it does look like a modern game in terms of graphics tho

>there's literally nothing wrong with slavery, it's been in use for centur--
Oh wait, this is Yea Forums, probably not the best counter-argument. Point is, just because it's been in use doesn't make it right.

I only use it on boards where a chance of someone being female is actually significant.

"Now" as in "since gen 6", dumbshit.

Yeah, early ps3 modern.

>ya catch pokemon
>the stories are the same every goddamn game, ya catch pokemon and become the champ
>"I'd play this shitty game as long as it looked good"

let's all just be real for a moment and admit pokemon is for children, and if it satisfies them then the formula works

Seriously. They aren’t even making it for the WiiU? What gives??

It wasn't gimmicks for the first 5 generations, mostly. Sure, you had some gimmick Pokemon, like Mew/Celebi/Jirachi, Deoxys, Arceus, and Kyurem, but it was usually relegated to single Pokemon and not an overarching gimmick. Then Mega Evolutions happened. And Z-moves. Now Dynamaxing.

That being said, S/S look like the best Pokemon games since B2/W2. Not saying much, since the best games since then have been 6.5/10 at best, but still. I might actually BUY the new games for once, even overlooking the travesty that is the type chart and balance issues.

That's an absolutely shit argument
>it's made for kids so it can be horrible

So never

That's exactly how it works for language though.
Grammar nazism is a force of stagnation in the evolution of language.

Excuse me but Pokémon games are rated E for everyone.

You haven't seen a modern game in therms of graphics tho.

What's wrong with having the same general plot premise every game? It works for Mario, Metroid, Uncharted, God of War, Legend of Zelda, and etc. Story should take a back-seat to the gameplay unless you've actually got a good story with interesting characters, plot elements, and settings.

>putting effort into a game that will sell 10 million

i kno right

Slavery dis-incentivizes technological innovation because any labor saving measures devalues the slave labor it could do away with. You're a stupid motherfucker with no arguments if you're trying to compare his argument to slavery.

There are a few.

Wii U is just about as powerful as the Switch is. Look how hard the Switch chugs trying to run Xenoblade 2, while the Wii U manages a "stable" 30 fps.

>muh graphics

pleb

it's astounding that this game is on the same console as Xenoblade Chronicles 2

>gamefreak doing anything else than pixel art
shouldve hired a subcontractor for the graphics TBQH

What would you use instead of a singuler they? Keep in mind that you don't know their name or gender.

The sad part is that Monolith was supposed to be helping.

Let's be fair to Game Freak here, it's the first Pokemon game that doesn't look horrifically outdated, only substantially outdated.

Monolith is helping out Nintendo EAD1 right now, the guys behind Breath of the Wild.

>it's ok for my kiddie shit game to look like mobile garbage because Horizon Zero Dawn is baaaad xD

I, and probably many others that hate for trivial shit like this, are still gonna play the game. Keep seething that Pokemon won't come to your favorite console.

It look like Rose Online.

I think they just re-skinned portions of the xbc2 map.
This looks almost identical to the area you can get into at low-tide next to the first city you get to early on.

It doesn't need a different console, just completely different developers.

It looks pretty decent, actually. Not as good as DQ11, but still pretty decent. It's not on the cutting edge of graphics, but as long as the monsters themselves look decent, and the scenery is vibrant and enjoyable, I'm fine with that.

The only gen you can say want gimmicks was the first one. Oh wait, Pokemon yellow was technically first gen and it had pikachu follow you and surfing mini games. What a shame they didn't keep it exactly the same every single time. Then you could get triggered about that instead.

What was the gimmick of Gen 3 and 4?

Why aren't you making threads about those instead of bitching about something nobody here should give a single fuck about?

Ask your therapist for stronger anti psychotics.

To be fair, quite a large percentage of Yea Forums users think exactly like women.

Contests.

Look at all these salty niggas who will still buy it anyway. Unless they don't have a switch in which case they're ass hurt haters. Pathetic.

>best looking mainline Pokemon game to day
>this Pokemon game looks shit
Fuck I get off to this level of seething.

This shit is ps2-tier at best. What the fuck are you talking about?

Mannnn, it would feel so great if it feel like traveling to other towns took days
That's how real adventures progress.
Walking great distances and seeing sights along the way.

Fuck, I just wanna play it now

>>best looking mainline Pokemon game to day
No
fucking
shit.
Might have something to do with how it's the first one in years on something that's not an utterly outdated portable console. Yet still it somehow looks absolutely terrible.

Cope.

People say it looks shit because it looks graphically like garbage compared to even Indie games that are coming out on the same system and on top of that, it's like struggling to even keep a steady 20fps. Like always Gamefreak's programming incompetence knows no bounds, they're basically a less competent Bethesda.

Also in terms of artistic quality, everyone knows Pokemon peaked Gen IV and V.

I think graphically it looks fine in the towns and cities and in battles, the open world area is just really sterile and empty.

Mega evolutions would be a fine concept if it was a permanant addition and wasn't just a single gen gimmick addition.

Seethe on my little seethers. If you'd bought and played the others, this one is objectively better than all of them put together. You would have literally no rain to complain. If this one is so shit the other ones must have been runny sloppy shit so you're double retards for buying and playing them. You outed yourselves as non fans and ass hurt seethers.

Cope.

>games graphics are stylized instead of realistic
>this apparently means its bad
Every fucking time

notice the difference

Looks like some 10+ year old korean mmo

Why is the Switch so God damned expensive, my phone is five times more powerful than then fucking this, what gives.

>Metroid
>same general plot premise
Not really

A games visuals could be stylized but also executed poorly

Oi, you. Don't start shit again.

are Yea Forums users really this... dumb?

>Samus is dispatched to investigate some situation on a planet
>Planet exploration ensues
>Upgrades and boss battles until:
>Metroid is discovered
>Fight to make sure good triumphs over whatever evil is behind the metroid situation

I haven't played all the Prime games but this describes like 90% of 2D metroid.

Yea Forums is mostly brown and slav kids who don't speak English as a primary language, they're incapable of understanding English nuance.

Looks pretty good desu, those are the same 3 motionless, Cherry picked screenshots you people keep using

>The only gen you can say want gimmicks was the first one
You don't know what a gimmick is retard.

Wrong; they're side stuff.

Woolooloo.

it's not the graphics that bother it's the inevitable piss easy difficulty and constant handholding tutorials and dialogue that will be shit

How does a game like this have apologists?

Art direction is very shit.
Lighting engine doesn't work at all with the game, some very awkward moments because of it.
Lacks any sort of AA, much like most Nintendo games for some fucking reason.
Absolutely shit resolution most likely
Will definitely run like shit too.
And anyone who expects it to be a good game after the direction GameFreak's been going in they are retarded.

Thje graphifcs are BADDD!! Nooo!!

Pokken looks slighty better.

mario odyssey has stylized graphics and looks 1000 times better than this

Oh no!!! What will we do? Let's just keep posting miseraably and be upset 24/7 about thing we can't change :(( noo!1 pokmeon!!! :(

unironically based the first sign of a casual shit taste pleb is WUW LE GOOD GRAFIK XD
the only games that are worth playing nowadays are emulated and indie games FUCK GRAPHICS FAGS

I don't need grass and trees to be ultra detailed to have fun playing. I don't give a fuck about this type of thing in a game. If the game is fun or enjoyable to run around in and I have fun playing it, it could be fucking pong graphics for all I care.

Why do you people go so fucking rabid over graphics and graphical fidelity?

>When will Nintendo take over the IP?
GameFreak would have to collapse in order for that to happen, which will never happen because this shit sells too well.

>Yea Forums is one person

>people cheering at this scene
did i miss something?

>Why do you people go so fucking rabid over graphics and graphical fidelity?
it just looks like a very cheap and lazy game which is a disappointment because Pokemon is such a huge franchise

>it just looks like a very cheap and lazy game

No it doesn't. It looks like how I would expect a game to look like. I don't think this was ever aiming to be some ultra-detailed cinematic open world film game.

>worst gimmick yet, worse than megas or even z-moves - lazy as fuck just pokemon but bigger
>pokemon don't follow you in the overworld
>graphics straight out of the gamecube era
>connected to pokemon GO
>no clean slate, connected to pokemon bank of old and lets people bring over decades worth of genned and hacked shitmons instead of giving the franchise a chance at a fresh start without all of those
>enemy is called "team yell", absolutely pathetic
>stupid soccer theme everywhere

Dear God.
At least some of the pokemon shown yesterday like that sheep, or the raven knight etc. were kinda cool I guess. I have little hope for this game right now.

Attached: 1543502302582.jpg (750x1000, 83K)

Expecting this game to have crazy graphics is your own fault. This isn't a racing game where these kinds of graphics would be totally out of place, it's an all ages RPG with cute little monsters in it. It's not supposed to look like whatever you think it should look like.

>merely pretending

What a miserable fucking person you guys are. Constantly complaining and being negative and hateful. Just do the world a favor and kill yourself since you fucking hate everything. Nothing you listed is even an issue yet in your tiny negative hate filled mind it's all over-inflated and exaggerated to the point of delusion.

But can I take my Pokemon out of the Pokeball and ride it?

Shut up reddit. Let people speak what they think, fag

So no gen has a gimmick then. They're all side stuff.

it does man, it's one of the worst looking games I've seen for the Switch

The artstyle clearly needs more graphics to deliver, all that low res shit, garbage illumination and draw distance are hurting visually the game a lot.
Sun and Moon and literally every ds game looks better than this while having "worse graphics" technically speaking

>Moving goalposts
Gen 6: Megas
Gen 7: Tauros ride

You have to go back to the lands of prejudice

Is 1998 still considered modern?

I'm glad someone agrees.
I thought both Sun and Moon and LGPE looked better than Sword and Shield.

Yeah LGPE is locked to the grid and doesn't do "realistic" graphics, but realistic doesn't mean good. I'd take the clean look of LGPE over Sword and Shield for sure.

Why are these games so terribly overlooked?

>I'd take the clean look of LGPE over Sword and Shield for sure.
That Pikachu looks like crap compared to the SS one.

>deep sea jellyfish in a lake
This is so lazy

Disagree.

I know right? Every game should look like dwarf fortress

schley're just trying to be polite

Imagine having a low enough IQ to unironically care about Pokemon.

Its shadows are pure shit and are but the lazy results of a lighting engine reflecting off of the surface of Pikachu, with no artistic thought or intent behind it.
The SS Pikachu however actually has real shading with thought and intent behind it, and it also doesn't just blare all the flaws of the model itself since most of the imperfections are hidden using this style.

The SS Pikachu looks like a genuine Pikachu. The Let's Go Pikachu looks like a poorly modelled 3D model of Pikachu.

Imagine having a low IQ not to, when 99,9% of new games coming out are unplayable, western moviegame garbage and indie trash.

So much artistic vision and yet Sword and Shield still looks pisspoor

Attached: NNiq9Nn.png (3000x2000, 3.36M)

Imagine having an IQ. I'm an amoeba.

GameFreak is a company that is collectively lazy and incompetent.
In the hands of developers who weren't stuck in the stone age for 20 years, Pokemon could be phenomenal looking.
Game Freak is okay with well below average efforts as they always have been.

the graphics aren't really the problem

Fuck you, imagine how much more consise magic cards could be if people weren't scared of they

And here's someone with IQ just low enough. Congratulations, retard.

Graphics don't matter but the new Pokemon is pretty embarrassing for a billion dollar company. They could've at least put in a little bit more effort.

>grafix fags BTFO
Muh boiz

English/welsh country towns are the comfiest places on earth.
The graphics dont matter to me as long as I get to play most of the game in this setting and also some red brick cities.

Because gamefreak are fucking lazy bags of fuck
These hacks know they'll sell anyways, so they always go for maximum profit with minimal effort

Imagine being so underage you don't even know the slightest about hardware

I like the left pikachu but prefer the overall style of sword and shield. I liked how lets go had that washed in sunshine look. It was so bright and happy and have this 35 year old gen 1 boomers heart a big warm nostalgic hug.
But what I like about sword shield is the more anime look, kinda washed out but not to the point of being pastel like botw.
That style of lighting also lends itself to dynamic weather. In lets go it was just always glorious sunshine. This one is gonna have sunny, overcast, raining, sand storms, snowing and that's just what we've seen in a 3 minute trailer. Also, for people complaining about graphics in general, keep in mind that this is probably a true open world game with instances only loading for inside buildings, caves etc. Let's go was tiny by comparison.

Wheres the giants penis?

>sci fi/fantasy game full of creatures that could never possibly exist
>that is an unrealistic habitat for such an entity!
Being around you must be an ordeal.

keep on sucking that gamefreak cock, bootlicker

You are going to leave your home town exploring unknown wilds where you can see mysterious creatures you've never laid eyes on before and catch them. The sun will set, casting different glorious hues. Night will fall and you'll camp out, still catching nocturnal beasties. The weather will change. There will be secrets to discover. This is not just going to be peak Pokemon, this will be fucking amazing in its own right, even ignoring the legacy of the franchise. Screen cap this; sword shield will be the most critically acclaimed entry in the mainline rpgs, scoring low 90s on metacritic. I can't wait until November.

I bought Red, Y and Let's Go. I bet you bought more of them than me, kek. Don't try to project your buyer's remorse onto your betters, you utter swine. Also, you'll feel much better if you have sex.

Do zoomers have brain damage or do they just don't remember what the wii could actualy do? compare this to xenoblade 1 which is probably the most impressive visual video game on the wii to this and any retard can see which looks better

Not only does this game rate well and sell well (duh) but it will move millions more switches during holiday season like smash did as well. I'm guessing well over 50 million switches sold by years end. I'm already salivating at the prospect of Eric posting salty threads for 3 years after it releases.

>Y and Let's Go
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAA fucking hell pokefags really will eat up anything gamefreak shits into their mouth and thank them for it

Imagine going in a thread just to get all salty and triggered. He probably doesn't even play video games lol.

I don't need pokemon games to be at the top of the top graphically speaking.

I just want them to at least put in the tiniest bit of effort.
When a 2019 game looks like it was released on the Gamecube then something went wrong. And it's not like it's the kind of "yeah it has retro graphics but a cool art style so it looks nice" kind of game either.
It has pathetic "babby's first unreal engine realistic water" and other shit like that
