Right: 1998

I'm not defending nintendo, I honestly just want to know. How exactly would you personally have addressed this issue? Realistic and unique animations for each of the several hundred completely unrealistic and unique made up animals? Keep in mind, your answer is not allowed to be "flush the whole project".

Time to nut up or shut up, user.

That's what monster quest, final fantasy, elder scrolls, and every other rpg and mmo does.

If they're gonna spend zero effort on the animations they why cut pokemon in the first place? Are you telling me the 3DS can handle 800 pokemon but the switch can't handle 900?

>no animations for turning sideways crouched
jesus

you would have a point if pokemon wasn't a billion dollar franchise and gamefreak was just a indie dev instead of being moneyhatted by Nintendo one of the biggest publishers in the world.

Just fucking change the fucking animation to flying in place if you're gonna have them on the overworld retard. I'm sure there's like 50 bird pokemon they could borrow the animation from.

fpbp

Don't have sex unvirgin.

yeah agreed simple animations are just too hard for most developers, especially an indie studio like pokemon. honestly motionless games are the way of the future

Remove birds entirely. Either do a job well or do not do it at all

And what features/content should have been canceled to make this vision a reality?

>gameplay
>graphics
Pick one.

>right
not portable, has a full console that took full complete use of the HW at the time after years of tough work
>left
beta gameplay footage made for handheld portable console that will be improved and made for people who go out of the house

But they already canceled graphics

20 fucking years holy shit, iwata is rolling in his grave

this shit is still going to sell millions on the first week.

fuck normies.

EVERYTHING about Pokemon has barely improved :C

It's a game made for children you fucking turbovirgins. jesus christ
Do you really want a photo realistic Pokemon game? Do you sit at home watching TV and suddenly recall this tree and start seething?

Right. They didn't put time and effort into the animations because that time and effort went elsewhere.

I don't get it. Is it really that hard? Just rig every pokemon and let them all do same movements with corresponding move. it doesnt have to be a unique animation for every moveset x pokemon. even in games like digimon they did this.
I'm sure this is not much but it's a ps1 game

>THEY'RE BEING LAZY
>THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM BY BEING LAZY
That's a good joke. It's almost like you really believe nobody would criticize them for it.

But they already are cutting on both gameplay and graphics.
They already announced that some features will not come back, and we already know the graphics sucks.
Without to mention that there will be a culling of the pokemon, since they we already know they aren't going to add all of them.

Holy shit, literally anybody can do a better than this

see:
Good jokes everywhere.

Do pray tell where those efforts went
Was it into the 500% scale pokemons? Please tell me it went into the 500% scale pokemons!

Theres really no excuse. Gamefreak is INCREDIBLY lazy.

The majority of the movement animations look fine, wingull is just an outlier.
Which really says a lot that they couldn't fix this single animation.

The majority of animations don't need to be fixed because they aren't broken, but gamefreak is too lazy to fix the handful that are.
Which is gamefreaks problem in general, they are too lazy to put in that last 20% to make a polished project.

>Realistic and unique animations for each of the several hundred completely unrealistic and unique made up animals?
Yes if i had the biggest franchise in the world, yes.

You guys have to get a load on this. Not only the game visibly takes time to load models, but you can visibly see that each Dynamax model isn't just an upscaled normal model, it's an entirely new model with red clouds and portal.
There is one for every single pokemon.
And before you guys call me crazy, they have already done similar to this in Sun and Moon, where every single map had its own copy of the models of every single npc that appeared in that map, so for example, if two maps had the same npc in it, there would be 2 files of that model in the game, one for each map. Some recurrent characters like Lillie, had 10 times the same model in the files, filling up like 400mb of duplicates.

i thought the same, and still do, but i wondered, ifonly they somehow could reduce the amount of pokemon and attacks so the could have a managable amount like 151, and maybe those being the most well remembered and easier to design pokemon, maybe like a remake of the first gen, then maybe then they could make a pokemon game that doesnt look and plays like a n64. if only...

meh fair point, I just thought maybe they could have worked a tad bit harder on those bland animations. for those special moves they should animate it precisely but I meant like normal low level moves should be dealt with quickly and more efficiently but looks as good as possible. I want to at least see the pokemon walk up and give them a double kick instead of *just* a sprite. That's what I meant.

>Wingull is clearly swinging to the sides

>Wingull is completely static

Did they fucking lose the animation files?

>the biggest franchise in the world
I thought we were talking about pokemon.

HOLY SHIT this game is trash.

that just seems liike extreme retardation on their part, i mean that kind of optimization is fucking basic, i got reminded on how mario 1 clouds and bushes are the same sprite but with different colors

you'd be surprised

You might be right, and in terms of technical artistry, that is some seriously poor game development.

You'd want fewer models taking up the least amount of space possible, not more than before.

400mb of duplicates is fucking ridiculous, it really is. I'd be crucified for taking up that much space on a texture, a model should be WAYYYY less.

ok second biggest

>beta gameplay
user, you can't actually be that retarded. The game is five months away from an international release (which can't be pushed due to the multimedia empire) . If they're still in beta at this point the game's even more fucked than it looks.

>Multiple models loaded for the same fucking npc
Wh..how the fuck do these people have jobs?

Nintendo doesn't work on Pokemon and doesn't have a say in what goes on with the series so it doesn't matter

>Sand passes through Arcanine

>doesn't have a say in what goes on
Repeating it isn't going to make it true.

Beta means not out yet, assuming 4 more months of work nothing to stop them from applying the final textures. They just wanted to show off gameplay for e3 and got rushed

Most nintendo fanboys I have talked to:
>I haven't played a pokemon game past gen 1 or 2. Did you hear about SMM2/BOTW2/Luigi's Mansion 3/etc?
Most mild fans of other franchises:
>I've played at least half of the games. A new one is coming out and I can't wait to play it.
Yeah, I guess I would be surprised.

You know most fans don't keep coming back to pokemon gen after gen right? They usually skip a few gens before checking back in again.

Also, before you guys says that I took only the part where it's bad, right before this webm, there is a weird clipping when Arcanine goes Dynamax.

>several hundred
>he doesn't know

Pokemon isn't even the biggest nintendo franchise. Let alone in the world.

It's considered the biggest because it usually counts in everything in the franchise, like the card game, plushes, stores, spinoffs, and thousands of royalties from things like cereal boxes.

I would've been proactive and spent time on animations since gen 6 or carried over animations from Revolution.

>sees botw
>buys the console

>sees smash
>buys the console

>sees mario maker
>buys the console

>sees pokemon
>buys the console?

One of these doesn't seem to fit.

What’s the biggest franchise then

I will honestly tell you that they dont need to cut anything with their current animations.
i mean if the game felt like an AAA game, even with those low graphics, but with god-tier animations for every single Pokemon. Sure i would understand a cut. Necessary evil that could maybe slowly patched/dlc and sequels to rebuild it.They just cut pokemons out, we are not trading for quality.

>works at pokemon
kek, get a job, looser

All the animations for the old pokémon are already made and have been refined after their colosseum and battle revolution entries. There is not much work or data to put in and there is no excuse.

Half of it has gone fucking backwards

>shitting on GOAT OoT
Great job outing yourself Zoomer scum.

The gameplay is even getting worse. They're making it more casual thanks to GO.

Nice comprehension of implications?
