It says that the same Ninteniggers who defend the Switch's poor graphics by "graphics don't matter, gameplay does" judge cartoons solely on visuals, even though they claim visuals don't make a piece of media.

Is it really that big a deal not catching your 500th Rattata?

That's why normies are livid and bombing every @Pokemon tweet.

Isn't the switch a handeld? And the gamecube a standard console?

i wonder how many nintendofags are bitching about the new battletoads

People are mocking it because Masuda claims they cut Pokemon to enhance the graphics.

They really said that?

A majority of the battletoads threads are bitching about the new art, that image is comparing apples to oranges, it's just a dumb wojack bait picture like the rest of them

This made me chuckle

Yes, he said he had to choose between full compatibility and quality graphics/animations.

Gamefreak are pretty goddamn incompetent if you've ever looked at the code for the pokemon games.

Yeah, if it's a fucking cartoon, games are about GAMEPLAY first and foremost, visuals are centered around them.

Is there any possibility of Monolith getting the pokemon IP? I mean with them handling a major part of Zelda I feel like its not impossible

i don't think you understand it's not about being able to catch all pokemon in the game
it's about them existing in the first place
as it stands you won't be able to use most pokemon ever because you can't transfer them either, unless they appear in the game

they should handover pokemon to genius sonority already

I really wish they would go back to sprites.

How the fuck does Game Freak get away with releasing two of the same game every fucking generation lmao. That is fucking crazy

You know most people probably don't fall into liking both things?

Because casuals like me just want to play with the new pokemon.
You guys are seriously overthinking it.
Have you considered taking your autism medicine?

They got new ones, just catch those

Hell, why does Game Freak add good features just to remove them later?
That’s literally my biggest complaint

Damn I loved Gen 5's look. The animated sprites were all so good, and they did them for every trainer and every Pokemon (front & back). It actually felt like they put in effort, same with pretty much every other aspect of that Gen.

It's a side effect of them being garbage at coding. They need to come up with new features, so they just do that so they don't have to redo old features on new hardware.

>Pokemon XD
Fuck off Reddit

You know, when they announced the Switch, I thought by this time now we would have Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, Pokemon Ranger Games, Main-line Pokemon games, and other new experimental games like Pokken, because you know, Handheld devs and Home Console devs would be making games for one system.

But almost 3 years in, and we have 2 cheap main-line games, a port of Pokken, and some mobile game on the eshop.

Masuda is just a money grubbing Jew who knows his game will sell millions no matter how much effort they put in, so they give the game a budget of 1 million, if that, and rake in the dough.

Why is it SWSH and not SS?

SoulSilver

I'm not saying it's the jews, but...

Sorry ma'am, I don't speak moonrunes

Because SWSH looks like "swish" which is the sound that a Sword makes when you swing it, and that is appropriate given the fact that the game is called "Sword and Shield".

BotW also looks like shit, but it has another number of things going one (wich admittedly are also extremely mediocre).

because of /ss/ user

Nice.

I'm bothered by this, too. There is so much potential for good spin-offs and yet we get nothing.

Because it's made by lazy, incompetent hacks that give zero fucks about the IP and rather work on other things, i.e. Town.
If you liked Pokemon you would have made the change to fangames, romhacks and randomizers/nuzlocke of the good games.
Or even clone games like this one:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=kPkq7IGEENM

Colosseum games were kino. imagine them with Pokemon Revolution tier graphics/animations.

everything becomes okay when the nintendo logo is on the box.

No one cares about pokemon, Go killed it and Let's Go pissed on the grave

only played gens 1 & 3

is there any point in playing black and/or white 1 instead of just playing b&w2?

The other dudes animation is pretty shit too

the excuse is that the spinoffs didn't sell well enough for tpc to see any value in continuing them. i wouldn't be surprised if game freak got pissy about every other studio dunking on them with their own ip, though.

They are different games.
Not completely different, but they have a good amount of substantial changes.

The curve was unnecessary, but at least it half asses a flap instead of hovering

>Handheld devs and Home Console devs would be making games for one system.
this turned out to be a blatant lie for the switch in general. nintendo's output has been pathetic as well.

BW2 are sequels instead of enhanced editions, it's worth playing both.

Why would you buy a Switch for this shit? There's better stuff.

>no megas
>no z move
>not all pokemon

Are those really valid complaints? What Pokemon ever had all of them available alone, anyway?
Everything else is valid, but those three topics are just stupid, but even more stupid is creating mega evolutions and z moves in the first place, and now coming with another dumb gimmick to replace those

I second this. I had fun playing through Uranium.

I just started Pokemon Reborn a week or so ago and it's uh..."interesting" with its edge and cringe but the fights actually do offer a challenge. In fact I'm worried it's gonna get ridiculous later on and force me to stop and breed teams to try and progress...Shelly is a huge bitch, just got through her. What a cunt. I haven't lost in a pokemon game since the 90s and she took me out and then some. Apparently she was bugged in the past or something and they fixed her and made her harder. Also the game really restricts the pokemon you have at the start and you have to really earn your way through to more.

I don't think it's trying to shit on BotW. it's comparing the two Switch games and pointing out how superior BotW looks by comparison.

coincidentally you're a faggot

The problem is that the gameplay is supposed to be good since they didn't focus on visuals, but neither look good

BotW looks the best it can look in the Switch.
That is pretty shitty overall beacuse the Switch is weak as fuck.

Low overhead. Why improve the graphics when enough people will buy it anyway?

I think it's more the overall movement of every view, unless you climb a mountain and focus on the rocks, anything in range has some kind of movement to it, swaying trees and grass go a long way.
But speaking of mountains, I saw a bokoblin fucking around with ice and causing it to puff out air for whatever reason so I guess even rocks have some sort of motion to them.

that's because the Pokemon shovelware has been releasing on phones instead.

Game Freak loves this idea of every generation having its own "thing" that they either never do again or only bring back obligatorily instead of expanding on it, barring some things from 3 to 4

Gen 3 was contests and secret bases, gen 4 was cross gen evos and touch screen apps, gen 5 was triple and rotation battles and a 100% new pokedex, gen 6 was mega evolutions and sky battles, gen 7 was Z-moves, alolan forms, and ultra beasts

Your problem here is your second "argument" is purposely misleading. It shouldn't read "the graphics are ugly" but rather "the artstyle is ugly". Artstyle does matter, and I've never heard anyone claim otherwise. Usually when people say "graphics don't matter", it means one of two things. Either they are saying that pixel count doesn't matter, or that realistic graphics aren't necessary. As far as pixel count not mattering, obviously they do to some point. Only faggots would defend a game that has only 1 pixel that just flashes different colors. What they really mean is that the game ONLY needs enough pixels to get their point across.

Is anything good coming for the Switch?

You know, as much as I love the animations in the 3D games they were lengthy as hell and made the already slow gameplay of pokemon even fucking slower.

They could get around that by just letting you increase the game speed during battles, other monster collection games like MH Stories or World of FF let you play battles at 2x or 3x speed. But considering Game Freak's programming skills, that's another pipe dream.

Pokémon gets away with it precisely because it's a mega hit franchise. People buy it out of compulsion at this point.

It was blatantly rushed and the Triforce fetch quest is proof of that.

Or just press 'A' or 'Start' to skip the animation.

You know pokemon has let you turn off battle animations ever since the very first games, right?

I would replay the game just to hear his theme song again

When I saw the wingulls hovering statically over the grass in the gameplay demo, it didn't even occur to me that they neglected to animate them. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed that was just how they were supposed to fly. I couldn't fathom that they'd be this incompetent.

Attached: wingull.jpg (360x252, 15K)

I can believe that.

That's not really a problem that would worsen with console 3D game animations, except for fainting animations. I agree though that the games should have a speed up option like MH Stories and other games.

That's not what the game looks like. You just want to feel better about yourself

kek I thought the same, they just registered as "gliding" in my head.

If you go all the way through this rabbit hole, you finally will know that things are worse than you may think...

If they were gliding they would at least float side to side somewhat. Those retard developers couldn’t even do that

You mean multi-billion.
Worth almost a hundred billion it's the highest grossing entertainment property in the world, beating even star wars by an absurd amount
in general and by even more when considering that pokemon earned well more than star wars in half the time with star wars having a twenty year head start.

They could literally give each main game a massive billion dollar budget and not feel it, and considering how much the ip brings in they probably should to deliver the kind of quality consumers would expect of a property that makes that much.

But please understand, gamefreak is a small indie company with a small budget.

It soars on updrafts. It needs an actual updraft to do this, it doesn't just float in the air indefinitely without any updraft to keep it there. That's when it needs to flap its wings. How do you think birds work?

No, it's BECAUSE the textures are blurry and stretched out. It went for a brushstroke artstyle, so it uses the appearance of colors being drawn out and the areas being a bit foggy (along with the lighting) to its advantage
But pokemon SwSh are going for the same shitty art-style as the past two games so when it fails to live up to that, it looks like shit

This too, I guess
Which is infuriating because it means the pokemon series never progresses. Gen 2 and Gen 3 were fucking great for actual gameplay features, Gen 4 was really interesting for social features and shit. Gen 5 had some interesting approaches to making the core combat more interesting and even Mega Evolutions had some interest to me.
But nah, Game Freak refuses to build a good foundation.
It astounds me that the game has never actually gotten more mechanically impressive than Gen 2 or Gen 3 for me. It's just really fucking sad that I had more fun fucking around rebattling old trainers, making pokeballs from tree nuts, fucking around with outfits and contests than any of this bullshit they've added in the past 2 gens

It was and also one really good addition to the series, being able to EV train Pokemon from so early was really useful and the minigame was quite fun also. Of course, removed when Gen 7 happened.

Here's the thing if he's in gamefreak then he'd have access to the full assets of thr high poly 3D models already available for pokemon so he'd completely skip the modeling step and textures would only require minimal updating, usually handled by a different team. Even if he had an increased workload he'd also have access go more assets.

Gen 6 introduced super training, yes

It also introduced PSS and pokemon amie, as well as dexnav in ORAS, all of which were well received on top of being good uses of the bottom screen

You can't win either way with these kind of things. The majority of plebs don't realize cutting down on polys is important so it's best to keep it looking fancy

I think this might be the turning point, guys, there's no way they'll just ignore the amount of backlash their E3 presentation brought to the table.

The poblem is Pokemon Go. It made 5% of what the whole franchize had made in, like, it's entire history. If you look at the Pokemon Company revenue, merchandize is also the largest part of the revenue.

Given that Go is made by Niantic, Gamefreak and the main games happens to represent a smaller portion of the Pokemon franchize's video game front.

Gamefreak is outright developing a whole different game in Town because they feel like Pokemon alone can no longer sustain the company.

I hate normalfags. The spinoffs are infinitely better than the main series, and they die because the drones only buy the main product.

Oh, they'll ignore them for this game for sure, there's no way Nintendo will let them delay the game. But this is shaping up to have lower review scores/sales than usual, so it'll have to impact the next games somehow.

That was on 3DS. They have no future on the Switch, probably. I'd like to be wrong but there doesn't seem to be any interest from Nintendo to make spin offs like they used to on their handhelds on the Switch.

They'll do what every other game company does: fix nothing, do a "we're sorry" a few years later at some E3 event, and then still not fix anything.

The game comes out in three or four Months... Nothing else is really going to change about it.

>5 months

Five months, actually. But you're still right.

>BUT IT'S A BETA

The game comes out in less than five months, two of them which are used for production and distribution. Three months are not enough to fix the huge amount of problems the game has been showing so far. How about you go to twitter? You'll surely find other apes sucking the same corporate cock as you.

Fact: you could never catch all the Pokemon in ANY of the main games. So you losers bitching about the national dex can kill yourself

If it has trouble doing so... It must therefore do so to have trouble shouldn't it?

If it can't flap its wings, how could it ever have trouble doing so?

Three months is actually enough time if we're talking about fixing animations and touching up textures.

Luigi's Mansion 3 looked rough when it was revealed in September of last year. That was a case where you could hold off on judgement and say that the game will look better because it's still in development. The latest Luigi trailer at E3 revealed that it actually does look much better, with better textures, better lighting, and better effects, and that it is still coming out this year (probably around Halloween).

On the other hand, Pokemon is coming out in November and it looks essentially the same now as it did when they revealed it earlier this year. What's there is set in stone, unfortunately.

Fact: you could never catch all the Pokemon in ANY of the main games but could be transfered via different methods, something Sword/Shield won't allow. So you underage nigger should shut the fuck up if you don't understand the true issue.

No dumb shit, they won't have pokemon at all available. as in no ways of obtaining them all.

this is even more fucked up when you realize the Switch is powerful enough to EMULATE gamecube if you install Linux on it

nigger, it being able to glide doesn't equal it not having to flap its wings to stay in the air otherwise

It literally is. Call it SnS instead you fucking retards, there's no reason to use leddit terminology when we already have a shorthand for Sword and Shield thanks to Monhun.

Using an 'n' to suggest 'and' to be all cutesy is pretty fucking reddit, especially when it's coming out of nowhere. It's like using 'Le' instead of 'The'.

I get what you're getting at but that doesn't apply here, Sword and Shield has been called SnS for simplicity's sake in Monhun for ages. Hitting & requires holding shift and pressing a key that's further out of the way, the n is much closer.
It's much less reddit than using a retarded term reddit came up with

right now, you can transfer pokemon from any generation all the way forwards to ultra sun and ultra moon

the only exception that they had to rectify was gen 2 and 3 being disconnected, because they had to make an entirely new format for what made a pokemon and move to a new console that didn't have backwards compatibility built into it. when the game boy games came out for the 3ds, they fixed this.

the switch and 3ds can and have communicated with each other for other games, and they're tying all the pokemon storage to your phone to future proof it. both of these mean there are zero hardware limitations stopping transfers between this gen and the next. why they won't (not can't - they make billions of dollars) use the tools they have is mind boggling to me.

I have a confession to make anons... every system I play, dies. The 3DO, Bandai Pippin, Atari 5200, Jaguar, Lynx, Balley Astrocade, Commodore 64, CDTV, Digiblast, Dreamcast, Gizmondo, Neogeo, N-Gage, the list goes on, each one downed by my reverse Midus touch. I really liked the PS Vita, it was so cool with it's higher graphics games, I thought this would be the high point of handheld gaming, but then I saw the Wii-U, never had I owned a Nintendo console before, being able to play Windwaker was such a fun experience that I had to by the next system, and so I did. I'm so sorry anons, I make it a rule to only touch the system at the end of it's life span, but I just couldn't wait to play Zelda.

Please understand, they're actual retards and probably have all of those models, animations, and even textures saved on different floppy discs. You can't expect a poor indie team like Gamefreak to work with that many floppy discs so quickly!
