[Yoshimitsu126]

lol

 

[MRORANGE]

lol it looks a 3Ds port.

 

[Dekuman]

Nintendo ninjas will be hunting for the leaks. Given the timing of the leaks feelsike its someone working in PR who handles the videos

 

[disparate]

looks like shit yo

 

[Gay Bowser]

Late 2021 is interesting. Sounds more like November than September.

 

[Couscous]

When I thought of remakes I though of something that's at least as advanced as Pokémon Sword and Shield. I'm still going to buy it, but this ain't it.

 

[CaptainBojangles]

Looks terrible. I love Diamond and Pearl :(

 

[Nateo]

Why bother remaking it like that..

 

[BigTime_2018]

I can't say this is the kind of remake I was hoping for, but I'll still get Shining Pearl anyway.

 

[Future Gazer]

Looks adorable but I can't really get too excited about a 1:1 tile based remake.

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Friends of Mineral Town remake style lmao

Christ

 

[Tonswelt]

Crying

 

[Axe]

No me gusta

 

[Randomless]

What is the point of this? The originals look better

 

[Mario_Bones]

People joked about the Friends of Mineral Town remake style and got told to stop being so pessimistic lmao

This is their anniversary game huh

 

[Jencks]

Looks good. Not sure what people don't like about it

 

[Loud Wrong]

I'm thinking that maybe I'm not their target audience anymore. Nothing they do lately excites me like it used to. This just looks bad.

 

[AlanOC91]

Holy shit it's not being made by TPC/Nintendo. Is this a first for a mainline/remake game?

 

[Black_Red]

I think it looks great, I just hope combat has pokemon S/S inprovements and mechanics.

 

[Maple]

I'm glad these are faithful remakes, but I'm not sold on this art style.

 

[The Last One]

It looks so bad =(

 

[Neoxon]

Matsuda is co-director

 

[Ambient]

Not being developed by Game Freak!! Best news from the stream for me.

 

[Charlie0108]

I'm happy they're faithful remakes but they look hideous.

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

This looks disgustingly horrible. Like, holy shit at that art style. Is this mobile?

 

[KraytarJ]

Legit looks worse than the originals

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

Friends of Mineral Town remake style lmao

Omg you're right. It doesn't look good.

 

[Vylder]

It looks awful hahaha

 

[Capra]

It looks like a faithful remake, but I have to agree it looks rough. Someone speculated it'd be like Link's Awakening but that looked far better... and it'll probably run about as well.

 

[Flame Flamey]

Please have the Distortion World and other Platinum content please

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Art style is meh but I'm thrilled that it's a faithful remake and not a complete overhaul. Excited to have a good Pokemon game on Switch.

 

[Deleted member 56266]

Looks like a mobile game

 

[Aprikurt]

How does it manage to look worse than Let's Go and Sword and Shield?

 

[Neoxon]

They aren't giving a specific month, which makes sense given the pandemic.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

this is just an easy 10 million seller for them before the legends game
i think it looks cute but yeah, a bit disappointed in it being a 1:1 remake.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Excited to get this, never played the original so both of these will be day 1.

 

[808s & Villainy]

Yeah, I think I'll pass on those remakes. They somehow look worse than LGPE. Actually they're probably the worst looking of their 3D games, art style wise

 

[Mario_Bones]

Matsuda is co-director

Welp, there goes that. No Battle Frontier or Platinum content here we go

 

[Regiruler]

I'm actually glad about the more faithful art style.

 

[Nilou]

I can't believe it's happening, feels like a dream😭❤️

Day 1 hype

 

[Hasney]

Oof, looked far too rough. Like, I'd rather dig out my DS if I want to play them again rough

 

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

No mega evolution for starters? :(

 

[OrangeNova]

looks great, can't wait to play again

 

[rulerk1]

if ppl werent so against lets go games it would have probably have looked like that smh. but this is different for sure

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

I love those games but woof at that style. I get it and maybe it will look better in person. I would've loved a Octopath style but I understand the direction.

with the feudal Pokémon out in early 2022, this makes me think this is September to give spacing

 

[Mendrox]

Ridiculous. The original looks better imo.

Maybe nostalgia will prove more effective and mainstream fans will prefer these looks over ORAS style, who knows.

 

[Pein]

dang, I wish it was 2D or cell shaded.

The original looks better.
