Pokemon... didnt transition to 3D very well

I liked the DLC but the base game is definitely lacking

Pic unrelated?

The delusion around Swsh is hilarious, it was a MASSIVE step up from the 3ds games just nothing was going to stop people from raging they couldn’t use their HGSS Typhlosion or mega Gardevoir

Name one 3DS game that looks good.

God damn I hate that shitty washed out look every single pokemon seems to have now. It looks so fucking bad.

Pokemon always looked like shit and you really start to notice when you compare emerald vs other gba games

gameboy and gameboy color ones get a free pass because they had nothing to compare to

I would've preferred they stick with sprites after seeing how shit their attempts at 3D are.

The pre-GBA games were pretty comparable to their contemporaries. The GBA stuff was just embarrassing.

I preferred the sprite-based graphics for both the Pokemon and Fire Emblem series. It allows you to be way more stylized and unique for a given budget (and processing power) than trying to make 3d versions of everything.

People who post blown up compressed screenshots of a game should not be allowed to make points about the game's graphics.
Not that I'm saying this looks great, but if you're going to make a point, do it properly. Native resolution, from the console or handheld itself, without excessive compression. It's not that hard.

Emerald doesn't even look any worse than other GBA games. Maybe Golden Sun but that's the exception to the rule. The average GBA game looked like literal dogshit because nobody knew how to program for it in a way that didn't either use nasty looking compression or gigantic sprites. 240x160 was a mistake even for early 2001.

Ocarina of Time 3D is aesthetically delightful, I wish more games put that much soul into art direction

There are really few games that look worse than pokemon gba, the console had so many great pieces of spritework

The games definitely had their problems but personally I enjoyed the routes in XY. Running through a field of flowers to catch pokemon. Sitting by the river in Aquacorde Town. The atmosphere was there, even if the graphics were not

>jeremy clarkson
that's not fucking clarkson

OP's so special he needs two threads.

It was a massive step down in terms of everything that mattered. Namely gameplay which peaked in the DS and art style which also peaked in the DS.

Is this the thread where we pretend Pokemon's static 2D sprites are better animated than the 3D models?

At least this guy gets it

Uh no Swsh has the best gameplay in the series by far in battles

No shit

>better graphics
>streamlined pointless story down to 10 hours

>brought back multiplayer and co op
>one of the largest rosters of mons ever released in a mainline sequel
>dynamax adventure
Let me guess, you liked pageants

shitty 3D... SOUL

>pointless story
There's literally nothing else
>inb4 shiny hunting or competitive battling
Don't count faggot.

TO BE FAIR contests in Gen 3 were kind of cool.

any capcom game

This. The monster hunter 3D games were surprisingly good looking and still ran better than anything G*meFr*ak eve shat out.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Any Kirby game.

kek

For a game about adventure to be ugly as fuck and not inspire a desire to explore every nook and cranny is criminal.

Same here user. I don't even know why but there just seems to be so much more soul with the sprites.

>There's literally nothing else
You're playing pokemon for the wrong reasons

The DS games looked like shit compared to XY.

Hideous. Also bird animations that just glide in the air awkwardly yikes.

>why yes I do need to lie to pretend my shit games are good how could you tell?

You know they left out this camera angle out of the final release for a reason, right?

Shouldn't you be spamming on /vp/ right now?

Pokemon Sun and Moon

I play it for fun. The games aren't fun. The stories are boring handholding slogs and theirs no post game.

>he plays for story
>he has battle animations turned on
>he plays on shift not set
>he doesn't battle competitively
>he doesn't IV breed perfect teams
>he doesn't shiny hunt
>"Sword and Shield are bad games"

The 3D Pokemon game proves that we should have stuck with sprites

It had an even worse transition to HD.

>I play it for fun. The games aren't fun
Sounds like your problem

heh

the DS games were the best looking games in the series

play rom hacks

This looks fuckin trippy

The thing is what was the point of transitioning to 3D when the actual design of the games didn't change at all
It wasn't until Sw/Sh, 2 whole gens after moving to 3D, that GF actually got rid of grid based movement
Gen 6 and 7 might as well have just been 2D because there was nothing to warrant them being 3D GF just did a lot of work for nothing

Eww

These shit games that are always at least 10 years behind other newer games don't transition very well? Wow imagine my shock

Unpopular opinion: pokemon looks fine, but it sounds fucking awful. It's incredible how japs will justify an HD game with 8bit screeching just for the sake of nostalgia

LOL

Nah, I like soulful screeches. It's only jarring because Pikachu gets to keep its VA line.

user, you're not allowed to complain about X and Y anymore. We have to pretend they were good games.

>Pretend
Gen 6+ are better than Gen 3-5 and I refuse to play along with this delusion

I played the shit out of X/Y after release
I loved the dress up mechanics in not Paris
It was a step down from BW2 but I still enjoyed it a lot
Everything that came after it was absolute shit

I prefer the sprites for Advance Wars as well
