The complaining about the framerate got so based Level-5 had to announce a patch after the game came out that did almost nothing to actually fix the framerate. If you aren’t playing in handheld, which is still hot garbage, the game will shit on itself if you try to explore. God forbid you go into a city.

Pokémon has always looked like shit. So this still looks like shit but it's better than all the shit that proceeded it. So you are right, as this shit never looked this good

You mean Pokémon has never looked good

Pretty meh ngl famalamadingdong

I don’t complain about the battles because even in pre release footage and demos the framerate was shown to be terrible so we already knew what we were getting into. The actual overworld though? Please. The game isn’t visually demanding at all. In fact, it’s one of the worst looking games on the Switch, so why Level-5 couldn’t optimize it for the Switch? I have no idea. It’s like beta testers don’t exist at that studio.

The DLC is what really has me worried. They are adding an extra final boss, that’s supposed to be the strongest Yokai ever, yet the final boss battle in itself was like fighting against the game to even run without crashing. You think I’m bullshitting, go watch any gameplay video online of the final boss fight. Good fucking lord.

I hope Pokemon never does real-time.

Dude, it's not even a Mainline game it's a Spin Off from the 2000's.

Imagine being so retarded you conveniently forget it was a DS game with that level of quality.
The animated sprites have more soul and character to them than the 3D shit GF moved with from gen 6 onwards

If you honestly think that's bad, you should see the final boss fight in Wonderful 101. The game slows down to an absolute crawl. Nintendo consoles can't handle too much or they start to chug.

you make a good point i will buy it second hand then, as i hate all the choices they have made in terms of gameplay and animations but i love the uk theme and the characters. also the fact they didn't make the evil team steam punked themed with the name team steam (which could be like uk team skull) was a waste apparently they are called team yell and they sound really lame as lame as team flare are.

Yeah, and Masuda is cutting mons to bring high-quality animations as he also said.

>Could just scale them upwards and tint the coloring
>But no, every single facial expression and change of size from squashing and stretching needs to have its own separate model so it fills the cartridge up
Imagine how large a Pokemon game would be without all of this unnecessary shit. It's probably be like 1.5gb at most.

>Nintendo consoles can't handle too much or they start to chug.
It's not "nintendo consoles". It's any platform when you push it too hard. The same happens on PS4, happened on PS3, happens on Xbox One, happened on 360, and will happen on a PC if you play a game that pushes it.

The thing is most devs get away with it because the majority of gaming audiences don't care. People either don't notice or are willing to put up with frame rate drops, so there's little reason for devs to prioritize absolute perfect performance. And on a limited hardware set (aka a console) that means they can and will use that leeway to scale things up and/or make things prettier.

Don't be a waifunigger man just wank to the art and all the porn that'll come from the game. It's pokemon, there'll be plenty. Just don't contribute to the game's sales so GF don't get the idea people actually want them to keep cutting corners
Innovation in a series that has been formulaic for decades and has barely done anything new (that it hasn't stripped away in future titles at least) IS good. Though I wouldn't trust GF to execute anything new well, they have no passion for the series and it's ridiculously obvious now

The new girls got so much art while the old one didn't, hopefully Masters will bring more stuff, more good art for Flannery and Gardenia.

what is this

Platform doesn't matter, half the discussion going on in this thread is about how games have to be tailored for their specific platform to look good. DS Pokémon games had an unholy mix of basic 3D and 2D sprites with zero thought given to how camera movement morphs and distorts them, making them look like shit constantly being smeared across the screen.

It's just fanarts of someone's cool ideas on what their pokemon game look like.

They’ve been innovating for the past two gens though, and this one is no different. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t innovating. Get fucked.

innovation also =/= bad

Chinese developers have so much potential. Why do they never use it?

>innovating
Yeah by removing the new things they actually make and cutting corners with every new game. Making the games easier and having S/M literally hold your hand for most of the game isn't "innovation", it's regression. SW/SH is the biggest example of regression in the series, they're certainly innovating what it means to fuck up your big-seller series alright

Pokemon but giant, what a great innovation totally not seen in the series... Cough Cough the Anime.

>all by a chinese bootleg team
>still looks way better than anything GF have shat out in the past 5 years

Also unexpectedly in the Detective Pikachu movie, where it was really based.

Because any actual smart Chinese person leaves China immediately and then gets picked up by shitty companies that make mobile shit.

honestly, the shit that has annoyed me the most about this debacle so far is people pretending pokémon games haven't always done the absolute bare minimum.
not a single game actually looks any good. stop implying that stuff is specific to this game.

that does not make it okay

Most of that shit was invented before the 3D era of Pokemon.

okay got it i won't add to their sales i think instead i'll just use the money to work on my own rpg game i'm making in rpg maker.

because i love tomboys but i'm really not happy with how game freak has been handling the franchise recently especially with how it keeps cutting content, that's why i never bought lets go or ultra, though i made the mistake of buying oras as gen 3 is my favourite gen without knowing they cut out the battle frontier because they were to lazy to implement the best post game in the history of the franchise.

You bootlickers don't see the problem. The problem isn't that the graphics/animations are bad. It's that GF is incompetent and cutting Pokemon out because they wanted to focus on higher-quality animations, despite the animations being reused from previous animations AND low quality.

Like well-trained monkeys.

Of course a tomboyfag would be such a cuck

Why buy the game for one girl when just searching her on a booru will give you 100x more content for her thean the two minutes of screentime she will end up having?

Their cited reasons are all bullshit though. They designed the 3D models to be future-proof, they said it them-fucking-selves yet they're too lazy to port over the rest of the dex.

But will the gameplay drag on from slow tedium and will the game be bogged down in countless and boring cutscenes? That's the more important thing? All the pretty graphics in the world can't save a boring slog.

>A fraction of the pokemon

The difference with the chink game is the fact that pokemon have a predetermined move set bound to said pokemon, and as such you can develop really nice animations since its the only moves they can do. Charizard might do flamethrower real nice, but you also have to do animations for shit like drago meteor, seismic toss, and random shit like cut because people can be stupid with movesets.
Is this an excuse? Not exactly. But the chinese game has way less work they have to consider when making nice animations since they only have to work on what looks like 3 moves per pokemon as opposed to the several hundred moves in existance.

We’ve actually seen about 6 different facial expressions alone for the MC, more than any previous Pokémon game, even the Genius Sonority titles.

Are you dumb? Megas, Z-Moves, and Dyna/Gigantamaxing have to do with the battle system, but since they are gimmicks, they don’t count? What? And regardless? I also listed the introduction of another new type. Fairies, which have also changed the battle system, but that doesn’t count either huh? What about horde encounters? Totems where they can call allied Pokémon? None of that counts? Do Inverse Battles count? How about the UI showing moves that are and aren’t SE against a certain Pokémon’s type? None of that is innovating for Pokémon?

And balancing has nothing to do with innovation you retard.

>REACHING
Grid based movement hasn’t been a thing since Gen 6, which also coincidentally went from 4 directional to 8, which is innovating.

Dumbass

I find myself agreeing with all the detractors, but it's still going to be a fun game. If I really thought we could make Game Freak work harder via jaded boomer boycott, I would, but it simply cannot be helped. Of course it should look better, I still want to play it

Their innovations have been what other RPG series have done years ago and far better though. Praising Game Freak for actually catching up with the industry isn't much, especially when for every step forward they take two steps back. Stop being such a fucking drone and stop accepting mediocrity.

Pomemon started as the snes was dying/dead

Because all main pokemon games were made specifically only for handheld (this include Sword and Shield for Switch Lite too).

more soulful than anything GF have done in years, how the fuck
If you're so desperate to play it at least don't be a retard and make sure you buy it second-hand/used so GF don't profit off your purchase. Or pirate it.

So what? That’s still innovating for the Pokémon series. Going by your logic, Pokémon shouldn’t do the same thing as other JRPGs because it’s already been done, and stick to form or try something else. Really glad you don’t own your own gaming studio.

>Praising Game Freak for actually catching up with the industry isn't much
Dumbass, if they try it and don’t get good feedback on it, they won’t think it’s something they should try again. Pokémon’s first open world area with overworld encounters, an interactable environment, with trainers and items scattered about, while also acting as a multiplayer hub to interact with other players, and do raids, IS something worth praising for because it’s something people weren’t expecting GameFreak to do, and do with so much going for it.

Maybe stop acting like everything in the game is awful and notice what’s actually being done well, and instead of assuming everyone is a drone, realize constructive criticism is a thing.

>Dumbass, if they try it and don’t get good feedback on it, they won’t think it’s something they should try again.
People've praised GF for tons of shit. Mega Evos were a great concept, shit like pokemon following you as you walked in the overworld was great too, so were seasons and actual post-game content like the battle frontier. But Game Freak removed that shit anyway despite how positive the reception was for the shittiest reasons.

Having ONE (1) "open world" area in an RPG when other RPGs have actual expansive worlds is retarded. Pokemon is a billion dollar franchise, there is 0 excuse for them to not innovate the series on the same level that LoZ did with BoTW. Stop sucking GF's dick for doing the bare minimum, this is the series' first debut on a MAIN HOME CONSOLE and it's just a glorified 3DS game for 20 dollars extra. It's inexcusable, there's no reason to focus on the positives when every gen they dumb shit down further and further and only continue to cut corners with the series. I can guarantee you shit like Dynamaxing will not return in the next gen.

More like 16 thousand, that street light is so detailed that they had to cut another pokemon to fit it in

>s-shut up dude! Game Freak are an indie studio! Their miniscule "innovations" more than justify all the shit they've cut out!

The definition of SOUL

Megas and Z-Moves were removed because Game Freak saw them only as novelties to keep things fresh instead of improvements to the formula. They were nice balancing tools, though they didn't do as much as them as they could have.
Perhaps I did misunderstand because you were merely talking about "innovations" instead of substantial improvements that evolve the formula.
And non grid based movement is like something that they already did since SNES days. Shows how far behind Pokemon is in comparison to other RPGs.

lets go eevee and pikachu looked much better than this

You say it is because of a limited scope but you do realize that Game freak hasn't made a single new animation in 6 years right? It's all copied and pasted from X and Y.
The fact the chinks even made any animation at all shits all over Game freak.

What PS1 game is this?

>Megas and Z-Moves were removed because Game Freak saw them only as novelties to keep things fresh instead of improvements to the formula. They were nice balancing tools, though they didn't do as much as them as they could have.
I don't understand why they stopped supporting megas for the shitty Z moves in gen 7. It was a great concept and if they actually just polished it up and continued using it it'd have easily done a fuck ton to make previously unviable pokemon actually useful.

This gigantomax shit is the dumbest shit too, why give a new dumbass form for a pokemon specifically for dynamaxing when it's not going to be in the next gen? Why not just make those designs actual evolutions?

>it's ok for the single biggest media franchise in the world to just now catch up with the indusry standard, and not even do it well
How dare anyone expect better, really?

The mind of a drone is a weird thing to behold

Megas and Z-Moves were removed because Dynamaxing is a combination of the two while also making the Pokémon bigger. GameFreak have said several times the whole concept of Dynamaxing was thought up based on the fact that the Pokémon games are going to be played on TVs now, so the scale of the games went up. Therefore, the two gimmicks were combined, made bigger, and boom you got your new gimmick.

>people pretending pokémon games haven't always done the absolute bare minimum
People always had lower expectations for handheld games. The switch isn't just a handheld though.

DUDE SHUT UP HOLY SHIT
Game Freak are a small studio with a small working team, stop expecting so much from them! Stop being such an entitled, toxic gamer!
But it's an even shitter gimmick since you can use it on almost all pokemon, including the actual good ones. All it is is a straight-up upgrade, at least Megas made old and unviable pokemon actually have a chance to shine in the meta, dynamax only lasts 3 turns and it's a straight-up upgrade. There's very little about it in terms of tactics
Z moves are retarded but Megas actually did something new and made previously unusable pokemon actually viable for teams. It needed some balancing but GF suck shit at that too

Not an excuse
We now gf recycled move sets from previous games
They have money and employees enought to make something better

>Literally scaling up the model is now a new gimmick
How can normies suck up this shit with a smile on their face? This is the most low effort garbage Ive ever seen in a main entry to a big franchise

Someone already told you why and you conveniently stopped replying.

The "open world" camera shit you were praising doesn't even look good. The environment has N64-tier texturing and instead of actually having pokemon naturally be in the environments they pop-up out of the ground. The reasons are all over the wall you blind shill.

Dragon Quest did it first

Dynamaxed pokemon don't even have new animations, they're just the base animations slowed down too

The one thing I really want from pokemon is for the multiplayer battles to be somehow integrated into the endgame. Like maybe have a place like battle frontier except it's pvp. Have some type of ranking system, maybe exclusive items like clothing etc. I really enjoy the loop of breeding perfect pokemon and setting them up for pvp and battling.

Hahahaha what the fuck is wrong with Nintendo fans

>Dynamaxing was thought up based on the fact that the Pokémon games are going to be played on TVs now, so the scale of the games went up.
This is such dumb, child like logic.

*gamefreak shills
Everyone is ridiculing this shit nigga

They just want to play games regardless of quality, Switch is lacking games user...

Did they seriously remove megas? Didn't they use megas as a 'patch' to make certain Pokemon useable, like Beedrill and Mawhile? And they are just undoing it?

And it literally took them 3 generations of games, while other franchises pulled it off in one

No more megas for you. For "balancing" reasons. Since now every Pokemon can Dynammax with few having access to special g-Moves. Totally balanced I guarantee it.

Guess who won't be in Sword and Shield!

give a link then

They remove megas and replace them with dynamaxing (size and powers up pokemon, even ones that haven't evolve yet), yes. The reason is to balance the gameplay, they said.

>But Game Freak removed that shit anyway despite how positive the reception was for the shittiest reasons.
And yet everything but following Pokémon is back. Fancy that. Like user said Megas and Z-Moves were made into one with a 3-turn limit placed, so strategy is even more key. You are just buttmad your Mega waifumon isn’t back in full form.

>ONE (1) "open world" area in an RPG when other RPGs have actual expansive worlds is retarded.
Yeah when you put it that way, that is retarded. Too bad that one (1) area is split into multiple different areas and biomes with different landmarks, weather patterns, and Pokémon to be found, right?

>innovate the series on the same level that LoZ did with BoTW
Yet they are and you are literally saying “no that’s not enough”. BoTW changed up the combat, Pokémon changed the battle system. BoTW did open world and so did Pokémon. BotW introduced cooking, so did Pokémon. BotW introduced customization, Pokémon already had customization which has also been upgraded in these games. BotW has mini bosses in the overworld, Pokémon has raid battles. Do I need to go on?

You spend the rest of the post talking about sucking GF’s dick again. Seems like the only way you can counter someone’s argument is by calling them a shill. Sad.

Can't you only have a Dynammax or a Gigantomax in one battle though? I assume the Giganto guys will just be better.

They are not scaled up models, Game Freak is using completely different ones when they Dynamax they just look the same. How fucking inefficient can you be? It's just a few rough edges that will stick out, how fucking retarded to waste memory space with that.

Three houses looks like shit but it seems like they actually tried with the gameplay this time with the amount of different setups you can do to your characters. Gamefreak doesn't even have that excuse.

yeah Three Houses actually seems like it's going to deliver on what Fates should've from the start. Also according to the creator each house'll take around 200 hours to fully complete. Probably an exaggeration but still seems like a pretty good game so far

This logic seems backwards.
I can't think of any examples at the moment, but aren't there multiple games that used the dual screens to display tall/giant entities in various games, since the two screens allowed the display of an aspect ratio you can't get with a TV screen?

Some rumors say that certain megamons, like mega mawile, heracross, pinsir and houndoom will be nerfed and become normal evolutions.

you have to have a pair of functioning eyes to be able to see that BoTW and SW/SH are on entirely different levels. BoTW revolutionized LoZ all over again by trying something completely different with the series and it succeeded heavily. SW/SH is literally just a prettier looking 3DS pokemon game. This isn't an exaggeration, you are braindead if you think the two games are comparable even slightly.

>Yet they are
How much does Masuda pay you drones to make comments this stupid? Even normies can recognize SW/SH is the same pokemon game as the last 2 gens.

Your arguments consist of hyperbole and grasping at straws, literally none of your points hold up against the argument that GF have the reins to a billion-dollar franchise and are choosing to phone in games that are "just okay" in terms of innovations when the RPG medium as a whole has been receiving wide innovations more and more with each year. You're a drone. Everyone sees you as one.

Ok, here's an argument for you, faggot. The cheap as shit animations. You think that's something worth bragging about?

Here you go:

It's about catching all the Pokemons, which you cannot do in any games because of event mons, version exclusive, evolution requiring trading or simply Pokemons skipping a generation. Transferring Pokemons between games mitigated that. Now a large percentage of Pokemons were cut from a mainline game, being unable to be transferred, in the name of better graphics and animations.

Agreed since they were done by people that actually cared about the series

Why not, it was made far years ago than SW/SH perhaps something troubles you?

It'll be the same milquetoast mainline game as always

>Your arguments consist of hyperbole and grasping at straws
Elaborate

You mean the animations that have been used since PokeDex 3D for XY, ORAS, SM, USUM, Ga Ole, Tretta, Masters, LGPE, and are finally being updated in SWSH? What do you wanna talk about in regards to them?

Because now you are assuming that I’m okay with their quality, which I’m not. I believe they should’ve been updated at least for the older Pokémon like Blastoise instead of concentrating on just the new ones. However, I do like that the textures have been improved and some Pokémon like Mincinno have different posed rigs entirely.

You can compare it to the Genius Sonority games, but then you fail to realize those reused the animations as well, the Stadium animations at that, just like GF, and the fact that they have more oomph is because of the smaller workload. I don’t excuse GF with the animations but I can certainly see why it’s like that. I care more about how the moves look than how the Pokémon perform them. And so far most of the moves look amazing. You can keep on posting that Double Kick webm though.

Like really, you all are incredibly misinformed and aren’t able to form your own opinions. You can’t see from good to bad, and you’ve moved the goalpost so much when this conversation was originally about innovation, which no one has yet to prove GameFreak have not been doing.

Probably because the entire crux of your retarded nonsensical argument is that anything "new" Game Freak halfassedly adds to the games is innovating even if it's something that's been an industry standard for 20 years or something that was already done better by a previous game in the franchise, it's as moronic as saying that a remake doom that just lets you move the camera with a mouse is innovating.

They're updating the VFX user!
>The Turn based gameplay is shit compared to other series like SMT, Octopath, Older FF games, and even DQ now.
Don't shit talk the gameplay, foundation's actually pretty fucking neat for a turn based game (in terms of stuff added up to gen 5, can't really say 6/7 with some stuff being taken out now), though in terms of non-competitive stuff(and that's a different can of worms), only way that the mechanics shine in a singleplayer run are through romhacks, which is really an issue in the end.

And the problem with your logic is that just because other franchises have done it, it’s not innovating when Pokémon does.

Depends on how you manage the team

While that's true in most cases, in the scenario of massively parallel work, say animating and rigging 900 pokemon, you really only need one art director in charge, and a bunch of grunts. If you give him a team of 5 people they'll get X pokemon and moves done in Y time. If you give him a team of 25 people he'll probably get 5X pokemon and moves done in Y time. The guy animating charizard doesn't really need to know what the guy animating greninja is doing. Yes, there might be some shared assets between everyone, especially when it comes to the moves, but pokemon doesn't really need custom animations for every move. Basically they need a few physical attack animations based on what part of their body they're fighting with (claw, kick, whip, etc.), an a couple special animations for either directional attacks or aoe attacks. Maybe their signatures moves could get custom animations as well.

I fear that

No it doesn't though, Zelda innovated by not only being open world and taking the series in a new direction but also being an open world game filled to the brim with actual shit you could interact with, leading to hundreds of unique outcomes to scenarios based on the freedom the game gives you with its physics engine.
Pokemon SW/SH has done jack shit in comparison to innovate the series, you're not convincing anyone at all with your argument.

Pokemon was always just a standard DQ-esque rpg except for the monster trading/battling from its inception. And then it literally never meaningfully innovated outside of that since then. All the games have been simply "it looks better than the last". To suddenly care with this game while you praise the others is fucking stupid.

Why does it have to look like a ps2 game in 2019?

Well, it slightly did happen with the most recent trailer

Man I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I don't really recall praising BotW for being innovative in this entire thread. But I guess if other people (retards) that aren't me said it then it must be true and obviously means I have to agree with them.
>the fact that Pokémon is finally doing it is a good thing you shit for brains.
Who said it wasn't a good thing? Having a controllable camera is a good thing, but it's not something deserving of praise. Do you praise every new PC game that comes out for letting you use your fucking mouse?
The funniest part is that it's only limited to one area so they couldn't even get something so basic right, truly hilarious.

I'm glad that this chinkshit game popped up when it did since it seems to have brought the flack back against Game Freak after that trailer minimized some of it

>console pokemon: its pokemon with better graphics
Except it isn't, it looks like a 3DS game emulated on Citra. The texturing is awful, especially in the "open world" area with N64-era trees and grass.
No one would be shitting on pokemon for how it looks if Masuda didn't say they cut half the dex to focus on making the game look beautiful and to make the animations excellent. Both of which are blatant lies

Did you just join this thread or are you being retarded on purpose?

They release a new trailer on the same day japanese pre-order open for pokemon sword and shield. I doubt they knew about chinese knockoff.

Yeah you are fucking dumb. Why are you expecting that? Has pokemon ever fucking done it before? NO!
Why the fuck are you captitipalzing first mainline home console entry? It's fucking coming out with the Switch Lite dumb nigger. Maybe you're just a fucking retard for considering the Switch a home console, when it's not better than a fucking psp with a tv out port.
Point me to the law that pokemon is violating by not innovation on it's first "home console" release? Because if there's no law, you simply are a dumb fuck for expecting a series that has never innovated before to suddenly innovate.

>open world with overworld encounters
A single area in the game having free-camera is not "open world" you fucking retard. All of the shit you described aside from raids has been done before by different RPG's.
>overworld encounters
LGPE did that too and the game handles it the exact same way: having pokemon pop out from the ground. Imagine an actual open-world pokemon game with actual environments like caves, forests, deserts etc that had pokemon actually living in them instead of just popping in unnaturally

That's why everyone's bitching you absolute mongoloid. Pokemon is the most valuable franchise in the world in terms of the money it makes, people WANT a game worth those sorts of production values. Just because you're fine having GF shit down your throat for years doesn't mean everyone else is.
>why are you capitalizing first mainline home console entry
Because it's the first time the series has ever had the opportunity to have a mainline game on hardware far more powerful than the DS/3DS-

Fuck off, Swampert Tube.

Why don't you argue what's actually being argued you stupid fucking retard? Who said you had to be fine with it? I said you're a fucking retard for expecting the game to be different. I never said you had to be fine with it.

Pokemon has always been shit, and you're just as much of a shiteater as the people who buy this game, if you have ever bought a pokemon game before. If you shit on this, but praise and bought other games, then you're just a hypocrite shiteater.

Articulate your points better next time then my dude, I was saying why we DESERVE better, I don't believe for one minute that GF are going to innovate Pokemon or even make a game with passion in it ever again. That's why pokemon needs to be handed to a different studio and Masuda deserves to be sacked.

I haven't bought a pokemon game since gen 5, back when the series actually had some soul left

Fire Emblem's "base monastery you walk around'' is nothing revolutionary that evolves the series, it's just an aesthetic flavor that doesn't change the fact most of the gameplay is still menu surfing and resource management. Have you -seen- the finish and cooking minigame? They can be barely called actual games.

Furthermore:

Link's Awakening, the first console game of the handheld Zelda team, is a fucking gameboy game with HD graphics

Animal Crossing's newest console instalment shows no true revolution compared to its succesful DS and 3DS versions, it's once again more of the game with a gimmick flavor.

And so on, and so on. MARIO and ZELDA are the only games Nintendo ever made true evolutions with when they became stronger-hardware 3D games. Meanwhile? YOSHI still gets full priced 2d platformers. Donkey Kong too even though the franchise has dipped it's toes into big 3D console games before.

It is bullshit to demand Pokemon to make a jump of that sort when it's clearly not being demanded out of any other franchise, and even then it's a lie to claim Pokemon is not making a jump. The worst locations we've seen in SwoShi STILL look more advanced and ambitious than any location in Sun and Moon.

>A single area in the game having free-camera is not "open world" you fucking retard.
So what is it you fucking dumbass? Please tell everyone what this open world area is called? And you keep minimizing it from a perspective as if it’s one small area and not a huge area taking up a large part of the middle portion of the map that they’ve already said you’ll be continuously revisiting because again, it’s one large area split into different ones, with different weather patterns, different biomes, and different Pokémon, trainers, raids, and landmarks and items to find.

>All of the shit you described aside from raids has been done before by different RPG's.
Again, none of that matters. The fact that Pokémon is doing it, and doing it in a way that hasn’t been done in the franchise before, is worthy of praise. Your logic is incredibly flawed and I keep telling you that.

>having pokemon pop out from the ground.
What game have you played where overworld encounters doesn’t involve pop-in? Xenoblade, Zelda, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Ni No Kuni, hell even MARIO and SMASH has enemies just pop into existence, and those aren’t even JRPG’s

>actual environments like caves, forests, deserts etc
Oh, so like the ones that we’ve seen. Got it.

That's the gym design

Nigger none of what you said justifies shit in the least because unlike the games you listed, Pokemon is the biggest franchise in the world in terms of how much money it makes. Those franchises aren't. Pokemon makes enough money for it to be justified in having a fucking GTA-tier team working on the games and yet they choose not to because Game Freak are hacks and don't want to hire new, actual talented people.
People have been wanting Pokemon to make a huge leap for fucking years too and it's perfectly understandable why, there was so much possibility for SW/SH to be the next huge step in the series, instead it's just a better-looking 3DS game with even less content for 20 bucks extra.

So many arguments here...I'm going to say this. New pokemon games look great after having play 3DS games and never play LGPE, so I'm very much look forward to it. It look larger with improved graphic. No, I don't care about national pokedex, event pokemon kill my hopes of ever completing it so I'm okay with only complete regional pokedex only like I did in Gen 6. I'm liking a mix of overworld and random encounters. I don't mind new gimmicks, it's similar to mega and z-moves that I don't really care and probably won't use that much. I like new pokemon too.
My relative is buying Shield so I will buy Sword in November.
Rest of you, keep bitching or whatever, maybe you will also buy used or pirating Sword and Shield just to get experiences, just move on to better games if you care that much about animations or complex systems.

pretty much.
Still has its own charm.

good lord the more we see of this game the uglier it looks

>Muh new experience
Others games already did that

goddamn this really does look like an early Gamecube title

>no I don't care about national pokedex
Based retard, good idea, pay Game Freak for cutting shit when they have no real reason to other than incompetence. The drones that still support GF are almost as retarded as GF themselves

>What game have you played where overworld encounters doesn’t involve pop-in?
What's the point of making dishonest points like this? Are you incapable of reading or just pretending to be retarded?

There you go with the “lies lies lies” again. Just fuck off user. Honestly. Your argument is flawed to all hell and you are incredibly misinformed. Just stop.

How DARE you call me nigger. My skin is as white as IVORY you... n...nni...nnuuhh....oaf.

Second of all, "makes money" doesn't change anything. Smash Bros sells 15 million but has a smaller scope than Brawl had, Super Mario Odyssey sells 15 million but has the same scope Sunshine had, Animal Crossing will likely sell 10+ million too and still is sticking to the usual scope.

Companies don't look at big money and go "oh man, i can't wait to spend MORE money next time!", they want to keep making money while spend as little as possible, that is a reality of everyone and even if they DIDN'T want it to be a reality it would become one still because investors and so on also love the idea of "wow, our new game for the same budget sold even more!".

SW/SH would NEVER be a big leap, and if it were a big leap you'd be looking at a 6/7 year development cycle like Dragon Quest gets instead of a 3 year cycle. And I'm afraid you will -never- see a world where anyone in Nintendo is fine with forsaking their current 3-year-cycle-for-10-million-copies-minimum formula.

So what is it?

This situation just makes you wonder what would've happened if no dex got cut.
I'm sure there would've been a few people still complaining about how the game either removed other gimmicks or look like ass compared to other titles on the platform (because that is true) and anons on here or /vp/ would've, but with most of the anger you see on social media or reddit or with the whole Treehouse dislike bar, would people have eaten this game up completely if they didn't cut pokemon and tried to claim that it was for the reasons that aren't that justifiable?

NOOO STOP THIS

HOW COULD SOME CHINKS KNOCK OFF POKEMON BUT DO A BETTER JOB

MODS DELETE THIS FUCKING NOW!!!????!!!

Are you schizophrenic or something? That's not my argument, you are talking to multiple people.
He clearly said pop OUT of the GROUND, not pop IN. Obviously the game is going to have pop in unless they render the entire thing at once, he is complaining about the fact that the pokemon literally come out of the ground which looks ridiculous. They could have easily made them fade in but that would have required someone with taste in the art direction department.
And now you'll stop replying, because despite the fact that you keep telling everybody that their arguments are flawed you don't actually have anything meaningful to say.

yes. that's the sad thing. if they included all pokemon using the same 3ds models and the same animations there would be virtually no outrage. someone on /vp/ linked a poketuber reaction video to the treehouse segment. at first she was super excited and said something along the lines of "I'm definitely getting the double pack", then when masuda said "gamu very hardu, cutting pokemon" she was shocked and upset. she said something like "god this sucks, but I'm still going to buy it"
I'm having a hard time thinking of a worse fanbase.

I wonder if it will have many npc to talk with and not for battling.

Okay but that's all irrelevant because Gamefreak has made billions from pokemon

> A Chinese bootleg is better than the actual release

Why is this SO much better than the new Switch game? How much money and how little work does Gamefreak need? They put none of their profits back into their products, that much is clear.

It has cooking?

Hi /vp/

This just sounds like harmless nitpicking. Instead of the Pokémon popping into existence, you’d rather they fade. That’s just your preference.

I disagree strongly. Very few straight turn based games have nearly as many complexities. SMT for example is a HARDER game, but has less mechanics in its battle system by a reasonable margin. And for a game that's built to consider PvP to at least some degree in Pokemons case, that's absolutely a positive aspect.

original GB/GBC art style looks better

>for old features to come back game freak has to find a way to make them feel new again
This is the most retarded shit ever. Same with the feature creep meme, when is too many features bad?

Yes, you can cook for your Pokémon now.

retards spam
>90 BILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE
90 BILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE
>90 BILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE

but they don't spam that most of that is merchandise and licensing that goes back into nintendo pockets

Yeah, in the wild area you can build up your tent and play with your pokemon and cook food for it. It's kinda the new pokemon amie part of the ame.

A leak, that has proven correct thus far several times over, mentions that there is a camping mechanic that will most likely be the new Amie/Refresh, and that it includes cooking. We have no idea how it'll work and it's not officially announced so it could be anything. Don't put too much weight on it right now.

A decent chunk of that is still made by the games.

A big, open area. An "open world" implies that I can start at Point A and end up in Point Z, with little to no roadblocks on the games part, where we all know Pokemon will be linear as all hell.

Most likely. Since dex cut angered the loyal (normie) fanbase that love using Pokemon Bank. Masuda's bullshit was just the perfect tipping point that made them pay attention to GF's incompetence.

game freak owns 33% of the pokemon company
33% of 2-3 billion annually flows into game freak whether they make a game or not.

Stop defending Gamefreak they have made billions no matter what they pay nintendo, there is no excuse for this level of laziness, they just know their retard fans will eat whatever shit they shovel them, thats why they rehashed the same 2d formula for 20 years until the sales started to drop.

One of the best Pokemon songs. Up there with Phenac City, New Bark Town (gen 2) and Ecruteak City (gen 2)

No, I would prefer if the pokemon naturally inhabited the world rather than mindlessly roaming Hyrule field. But if they are just gonna make them walk around like zombies at least they could make it look less retarded.

>as many complexities
How much is PvP and how much actually has a noticeable effect on single-player?

>An "open world" implies that I can start at Point A and end up in Point Z, with little to no roadblocks on the games part
But we saw that was the case. The only roadblock is potential high leveled Pokémon who you can’t catch that will run after you if provoked.

While gen 1 had its charm, it also had a lot of sprites that looked just bad.

This is must be your first pokemon game

>virtual limitless budget
Limitless profits do not translate into a limitless budget, much less limitless time.
Also the games have to coincide with the change in anime and merchandise rotation.

She might like that because she wants to play with the persons special to her like friends/bf to test their teams, build strategy, compete with eachother but generally for having fun, however the underrated pokemons special to them might be cut.

>But we saw that was the case
Oh? So I can skip gyms, go to any city/town and challenge the Legendaries whenever I want? Because that's what an open world would entail.

Attached: 1558195255520.png (640x719, 387K)

that would be neat.
Sure you would be wrecked by their levels but at least you could try.

I honestly doubt it will be like that, but it would be a redeeming quality.

Correction: Only ONE map is open where you can control the camera, the rest of the game is 100% linear and with tight routes and you can't control the map in them. This game isn't open world, it has an open area.
The new battle mechanic is literally Mega Evolution and Z-Moves combined, nothing else has changed.

If you think this game is going to be anything like BotW for the Zelda franchise, then you seriously don't know anything about Game Freak or Pokémon games.

CUNNY

Weather, hazards, terrain, Trick Room etc. all have meaningful impact on PvP. After that you get into purposefully situational mechanics like sound-based attacks, weight, states (grounded vs airborne etc.), there's legitimately too many of these to list, but these all can have impact in PvP absolutely. Abilities further that interaction by being so varied in what they interact with.

"Impact" in single player is debatable. Drizzle Pelliper is 10x better than normal Pelliper even to a casual player for example. But Single player could be beaten by someone literally spamming one move if they used recovery items, so it's hard to say. I would say weather at the very least has a notable impact either way though.

It’s impressive how everyone knows the gameplay hasn’t changed at all without seeing anything.

>Uh but Pokemon still plays like Pokémon so it’s exactly the same xD

Pokemon fans are generally like that.
I'll probably end up buying it too since I love Pokemon and don't care about the dex cut. But I still hate Game Freak's lies. Help.

>the rest of the game is 100% linear
This isn’t true. We’ve seen all the major cities are open with multiple areas to explore. Maybe the routes, but we’ve only seen like 3 routes anyway, and one of them, being the starting, was pretty open for how first routes usually are.

That's not what open world means. Open world doesn't mean "you can do literally anything you want in any order". You can't do the end game story missions in GTA immediately. Are you saying GTA isn't open world?

Open world is defined as a player being given freedom to explore the world, which has an open design involving (typically) one large, singular world. In some cases it can be disjointed seperated areas but typically in these cases it needs to maintain an open design in each area.

The Wild Area is open design but as Sword and Shield do not use that type of world design for the entire (or to be pedantic, super majority of it) game world, it is not an "open world game".

Is she gonna say it?

Millions of copies per version is still a fuckton, their are low budget games with better quality than mainline Pokemon

user it's 2019, why do you act like it's 2003?

youtube.com/watch?v=KZiNLWp1IDs

Pokken and Let's Go both look better in terms of visuals, but otherwise sure.

Play other games around release.
Replay prior entries.
Get it used.
Hack your switch and pirate it.
So many ways.

Ironically gen 1 is the one with the most open world since after gym 3 you can decide which ones of the next 4 you want to tackle first.

it's always true

Even fucking kaphotics dissproved this shitty thing. how can you still spout this bullshit

People don’t even care what’s true in regard to this game they’re just lashing out because “nooo muh faborite Pokemon”. You would think they said “we’re doing a graphical overhaul of every single Pokemon” from the way people talk about the game.

In my defense, I did mention "with few to no roadblocks on the games end", in the post before that.

Why not just use a part of the brave bird animation? The fuck is wrong with them? Don't they have any kind of QA that should point stupid shit like that out at once?

Disproved what? That there's a new Lillie model for each game? Because that is true. You can check it out for yourself if you get any rom, and use Ohana3DS and Pk3DS. Why they're having so many, if it's incompetence or the file structure of the card requires it for quicker loading, that I don't know. But the models do exist.
