Eh, you know what I mean. Some of these Pokemon can easily kill humans.
Why not? It's being sold for the same price.
I can bring up screenshots of Yokai Watch 4 that will make SWSH textures look like they came from RDR2 in comparison. And that's without even mentioning YW runs at lower resolution with severe fps issues even when there's nothing going on
There's more stuff going on in a single battle of YW than in the entirety of SWSH. Of course it has rough edges here and there, you think Pokemon won't? What you've seen so far is what Gamefreak chose as the best the game has to offer. If history is anything to go by there will be plenty of places where the game will look and run like crap, that's not exclusive to YW.
YW lags in the first minutes of the game when the character talks to his mother inside the house and nobody is moving and the camera is static. It's that bad.
Just going by the footage we have, screenshots for resolution, and media impressions from playing the game
we had breath of the wild on the Wii U, this looks not even close as good as that. and this is a much more powerful console than the Wii ULike what happened on the 3Ds, it took a bit for the new Pokemon generation to arrive to the Switch. The power leap between the 3DS and the Switch is likely the biggest ever for Nintendo Handhelds, so people obviously have high expectations for the first big Pokemon title (after all, Let's Go was yet another remake so it likely didn't get as big of a budget as SwSh).
And Game Freak... delivered? Maybe it's just me, but Pokemon Sword and Shield look really nice to the point where I'd call it one of the Switch's best looking games, especially on the most recent footage we've gotten. People have been nitpicking certain footage of the wild area to show how it looks "horrible" or whatever (tbf, it certainly didn't look the prettiest in the initial showing), but can people honestly say that this looks ugly?

This looks great for a Switch game, I really don't get it. The artstlye is nice and colorful, Pokemons on the wild area are very expressive, it's not a graphics benchmark but definitely not an ugly game. I have the slight feeling that the reason why the graphics in this game have been criticized is because of the pokedexit stuff, and it really is a shame because the actual game isn't bad-looking at all. What do you think?
While the wild area can look sparse, towns and routes are full to the brim with details
Like in most open switch games, BoTW included.
No, it's not a dishonest statement when these games sell more than most AAA gaming franchises with state of the art graphics still. You don't even have to look at the crapton of money they make with everything else, their games would be enough.
When people say insincere they refer to these PS2 in HD comments
Many outlets just called the game ambitious after playing it.
But they had to cut half the Pokemon to increase animation quality on the remaining ones hurr durr.
Even after being disappointed I would call it the most ambitious Pokemon game yet. Obviously, as it's the newest in the franchise and had to somewhat adjust to the new hardware. Any game going from 3DS to current gen console should be called the most ambitious. If not then we would have a way bigger problem lol.
Nobody is asking for Pokemon to look like Battlefield, Jesus Christ.
That's not necessarily true. The game could have been a Let's Go 2.0 with the competitive features added back in but it wasn't
