Pokemon Sword and Shield look much better now. They've greatly improved the visuals...

I don't know why they dumped megas, it's better than the z move and "make it bigger" shit we got

Its just a new stupid gimmick that wont be in the next game.
You fight random ones in the wild.

Needed to come up with a new gimmick, and this was the easiest one

Just a grindy kids game

Gigantamaxing is functionally no different from mega evolution. They only added the "make it bigger" forms with no visual changes so you're not forced to use a gigantamax form Pokemon in your team.

>You fight random ones in the wild.
Thats the online raid battle thing, not normal battles.

No, they showed these glowing fissures in the open world map that you go to and fight giant pokemon at. If you watch gameplay of them in the fields you'll see red lasers coming down from the sky, thats what they're pointing to.

Nobody cares pokefaggot fuck off back to your containment board.

Those are the raid battles dude

>playing Pokemon
>in 2019

I played platinum a while back and every pokemon I played since then feels like a repeat of that playthrough.

Definitely true, they don't change much. It's emerald though that they're ripping off, platinum was just a rip off of emerald.

japs only know Engrish

that's what that is

It looks okay, I'll give them that. Developers with more experience in HD games have done a ton better on the Switch even on relatively small budgets and Game Freak still has a long way to go, but at least it's not a disaster. I hope they tighten up the draw distance in the Wild Area cause that's the one thing that looked pretty dire in previews.

They still don't have whole dex

Thats just the first game I played in the series.
They are not bad for sure and I understand why they dont want to stir up the status quo.
Im just surprised they can sell well without changing things up.

Well, what I'll say is half the audience is new for every game because it's children, and a lot of the other half is people who have children in their lives they want to play the game with.

Another screenshot. This one is kind of cheating a bit since it's easier to do the graphics in a building but it still looks really good. I think at least the towns should look good even if the routes are somewhat lacking.

i'd rather just replay colosseum
this game looks like shit and not in an endearing way

>for children
>for people with children
So its for children? Then the fuck was all that hoopla about the national dex?

The national dex is important to competitive players who want to bring over their roided up super teams for online. Most players do not give a shit about it and never used it.

the shadows in this picture are all fucked
gamefreak can't even into lighting
imagine shelling out $60 for this garbage
looks worse than unity shovelware

It's a 1080p game on mobile hardware, your standards are too high. If it were 720p you would have a point. They designed this game primarily around portable mode because
1.People play Pokemon portably in general
And
2.A lot of people will buy it with the switch lite which is portable only.
By making it 1080p docked it guarantees the game will look the same in handheld.

Is it confirmed that it's 1080p docked? Let's Go was, but this has more complex graphics.

>my standards are too high
all i ask is for something to look better than a $5 shovelware game made by one person, is that too much to ask?
also proper lighting would be nice, but as that picture shows gamefreak can't even comprehend lighting

>sword and shield looks goo-

All the screenshots are 1080p and it makes sense considering the lack of AA and simple graphics.

jesus christ

>maractus is in
based gamefreak

Some people have favorite Pokemon, and they like to see what each generation brings to the table for that Pokemon (ex. that one time Tangrowth shot up to high tier status).
The "transfer over OP teams" argument has always been false because the 3DS era introduced regional markers to exclude transfermons from battle spot.

>this same thread has been happening for a few days now
>shot down each time
Why do you keep bothering? It's the same copy/pasted text too.

you've never been to a premium store

>megas better
In which universe? Megas required shitty items that bloated the bag, were mostly given to fucking shillmons to begin with and sometimes ruined the design or viability. if you wanted to make a team it was always around a mega. Z-moves were cool because wveryone could have it, infinite with own plce in the bag but horrendus lag and muh oneshot attack made it meh. Dyna/giga is basically, have the ace you wanted, it can basically do z-moves. Much much better. And gigantamax were also given to new mons not old only

that's a store where you'll be able to buy a pair of shoes for the equivalent of $20
nothing about it is "premium"

Joe really need his Nintendobux

You mean in the same universe where you sell gold for 40 bucks?

What ps1 game is this

I'm sorry, I just can't get over the brick road pattern.
It's literally just a sprayed-on texture, with the blurred edges and everything.
