looks great what is the problem?

LOL

guys we cut pokemon to work on the animations
>proceed to reuse literally every animation from old games
>use the same models as well without any changes
the only possible reason they're cutting pokemon is because they want people to pay for the next game that has the ones they cut.

That isn't true

>only two models for the entire enemy team
This was actually one of the first things to bother me.

I didn't realize that pokemon you couldn't catch in the game counted as content.

>muh stantler

Why the fuck would you defend this game?

fpbasedp

because its actually good its just ungrateful nitpickers like you refuse to accept gamefreak is trying

trying to run the franchise into the ground maybe.

I think they might actually be trying to make as big of a trainwreck as possible so nintendo will shift pokemon projects to a different game studio all together so they can work on new shit like little town hero.

Two more months until I'm bundled up in front of the living room fire in my Snuggie playing Sword while Yea Forums and /vp/ rage over its massive sales. God is this going to be good.

holy fuck your stupid

I haven't played a Pokemon game since sapphire so everything will look new and amazing to me. I won't even notice any of the "problems" that are making hardcore fans seethe.

>because its actually good
The game isn't out.

You are conflating your own perception with the quality of a product

Why would you jump back into the series with this game? Are you that much of a contrarian?

I know people were spergging about the Pokedex and not having all Pokemon. But I think the bigger complaint is that it just looks like shit graphically. Isn't it suppose to be on the Switch and not the 3DS? Even by the weakness standards of the Switch, the recent Switch Pokemon games look like dogshit. I don't play Pokemon anymore, but I wonder what modern day fans of the series think.

>your stupid
heh

I own a switch and want to play something that's not ports or rehashes, which the switch has painfully little of. I'm not a pokemon fan so I have no frame of reference to compare whether the game is good or bad.

No one cares about graphics for a game like it. Same reason no one cares Animal Crossing still looks like it does.

Those 2 complaints go in tandem. People have always accepted that pokemon has lacked in other regards like story and graphics due to the core of the game (the pokemon) being solid.

Theyve gutted the pokemon, along with shit like megas and z moves. So whats left now? What excuse is there for the shit graphics now?

Tack on the fact that they blatantly lied about working on the animations to add salt to the wound.

animal crossings graphics have improved on every iteration dont fucking kid yourself.

Bottom right is clearly a fucking warioware minigame
This is a fucking garbage intellectually dishonest image and I say this as someone who utterly loathes animal crossing

But Animal Crossing looks decent. The 3D Pokemon games just look unfinished and unpolished.
I'm trying to think of better words to describe it, because I've played other games like it. But the uncanny 3D effect seen in modern Pokemon games is usually reserved for indie games who can't afford to have better 3D graphics, environments, and effects.

>People have always accepted that pokemon has lacked in other regards like story and graphics
Not really. The first 4 gens of Pokemon are fucking beautiful. The downgrade started around Black/White 1.
But yeah that is bullshit if they promised to make them less shit and still keep it looking like a free to play indie game is pathetic and hilarious. It reminds me of ToonTown.

Enemy models have always been weak.

I've seen this gif enough times to know they're making fun of the walking animation.

>havent cared about a series for years
>the entire fanbase has gone nuclear over this particular entry
>theres a boatload of reasons this game looks like shit that are independent of context
>shit graphics
>shit animations
>dev slashing content while still reusing old animations
>devs blatantly lying
>etc
>lol I have nothing else to play on the switch of all things

Dont bs, you just enjoy the shit flinging.

It hasn't been this noticeable before. Other teams' grunts had generic enough designs to get by. Also, there's the fact that quality standards for the series have never risen.

i havent played a pokemon game since heartgold or platinum so this will be my first pokemon game in a while

Not only are we getting less Pokemon along with no new animations for them or new models, they are also not going to include Battle Frontier, with the only post game being an island with a battle tower clone and BP trade counter.

Pokemon games up until gen 6 have been 2D and always looked passable because it had a simplistic style with a grid-based overworld and played good enough.
The problem is when they went to 3D with X/Y on. The overworld went to shit, things like HM activations such as cut and rocksmash were fine being just like bumps and flashes in 2D because it meshed with the look the 2D games had, meanwhile it's just awkward seeing a 3D model jump up and down for the same activation, even though the context is the same. To say nothing of the game absolutely chugs during battles, which is more immersion breaking than I initially thought, hitting just pathetic rates just calling out pokemon.

Game looks fun I see no problem

I still don't get why they don't just recycle the skeletal animations from battle revolution.
I can't imagine ON MODEL POKEMON having too much difference model wise to recycle the actually decent animations.
And this isn't even bringing up the fact that somehow they "can't animate all the old pokemon" but literally they already did, and they're still using the X&Y Skeletal animations and models.

friendly reminder pokémon games have always been amongst the worst looking games on their respective console

not true

Reminder that while not technically impressive, the older games managed to keep a simple appealing style not unlike animal crossing, while the newer games tried to make it more "realistic" and just ended up making it worse.

So it's true, nintendo fans have tunel vision?

Gen 4 was peak for Pokemon graphics

I haven't played pokemon in 15 years, I really don't care about this shit series, but I sure as hell am not coming back for this especially stinky turd.

Based. 5 was when they switched from pure sprite art to pseudo 3d garbage. The beginning of the end.

Are pokedrones the biggest shiteaters on the face of the earth? I seriously can't think of a single fanbase more willing to get fucked in the ass, do pokefags really think the BIGGEST MULTIMEDIA FRANCHISE producing fucking N64 trees is 100% acceptable?

I'm really only inclined to agree with you if we're talking, like, exclusively the X/Y engine pokemon games.

pokemon has always been garbage

Calm down, they have mental disabilities

Crystal looked pretty good.

The Game Freak revenue says yes, pokedrones are indeed willing to accept the assfucking.

I don't and I think the game looks fine tell me whats wrong with it? Oh wait you can't cuz u are just nitpicking

why is it anyone who posts pronouns in their profile are almost always mentally insane

I played Sun and Moon and just cleared the regional Alola Dex.
I didn't give a shit about EVERY Pokemon back then, and I certainly don't give a shit about it now.
I don't even migrate stuff. Don't know what people's obsession is with migrating their entire garbage to the latest game

FIRST POST IS BEST POST!!!!!!!

WOW Classic says otherwise.

Because one of the primary parts of the game was becoming attached to your party members which is why IVs are a thing, and why there were like a hundred of the fuckers in the first game.

Can't wait to them to release the OMEGA SWORD/SOUL SHIELD version and they finally added national pokedex.

The dex cut is a design philosophy from now on. It's not going to be a SS thing only. They didn't do it because they didn't feel like it. It's literally just the way Pokemon games are going to be from now on.

There will be a selection of Pokemon for the DP remakes, a selection of Pokemon for the Super versions of SS, a Pokemon selection for gen 9, etc.
