The right one is a PS4 game, just compare Pokemon to Breath of the Wild.
Breath of the Wild
>day 1 port of a game made for and built around the wiiu hardware and ported to switch by an external developer
>accurate reflections
>physically based materials
>ambient occlusion in shadows
>crepuscular rays drawn from sun and moon not screen space variant
>advanced physics system
>detailed interactive grass
>900@30
Pokemon Sword and Shield

Gamefreak are lazy, they have no passion, they are Nintendo's own Valve and are only interested in how they can squeeze cash out of customers, except unlike valve only their first 2 games were passion projects.
>/vp/ defending anything
Not at all. It's really sad that even a shitted out cash grab like Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee looks better and has more thought out ideas.
They are not lazy they are incompetent as they are mostly women
They are also a very small team
Dragon Quest is on the Switch as well
World of Warcraft in 2004 looks better than Pokemon Switch.
>that water bicycle (+ helmet lmao)
OH NONONONONO
What's so hard about letting people ride their own aquatic pokemon?
What's to defend? It's a video game. Children's entertainment. Why do you care so much about how it looks? Would your life really be drastically improved by a Pokeyman game having better graphics?
I just find it funny a game upsets you so much
>The Virgin Tourist on his toy tricycle
VS
>The Chad Pokemon Trainer on his Beedrill
no. I think sword and shield look better than at reveal, and there are some things that are going in the right direction, but it unironically looks like an upscaled ps2 game
they really need to look at pixelmon and realize they should let you ride water and flying pokemon without them needing to know surf or fly
I still can't get over how bad the fruit tree looks
too many pokemon and too hard to animate all of them haha please understand
I won't defend it, but I can explain it. GameFreak has never made games with advanced graphics as they always stayed on handhelds. Pokemon games requiring huge worlds to function, they now have to create huge worlds in a home console which can do better graphics, but GameFreak doesn't have the competence to do it. DQ11 was developed by Square which has like 20 years of experience on making big worlds for home consoles.
Similarly, Breath of the Wild's world was created by Monolith which has around a decade of experience.
WOMEN XD
THEY SUCK
MAKE A SANDWITCH
BITCH!!
HA
>defend
There is no defense necessary. Square Enix has more experience making HD large console RPGs than Gamefreak. All there is to it.
Both look like absolute garbage though
SEETHING legbeard
Easy
It's Pokemon
Who gives a shit?
