Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, the next generation of Pokémon, confirmed for release in late 2022
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
for plenty of people the weak graphics of legends didn't impact their experience enough to really take away from that game and I feel like this looks significantly better
Super fucking cool that we're getting a Spain-insipired generation. Legit excited after this trailer, those fire starters and regularly playing/loving Arceus.
Also Team Fuecoco
Also Team Fuecoco
look at it's evolutions and tell me that's supposed to be a mouse
Fuecoco looks great. My favorite fire starter base form since Cyndaquil, and there's a very high likelihood that this will be the first gen since 3 where I don't pick the grass starter.
It'll be nice to have a game with (presumably) the capture system of Legends with an actually good battle system.

wtf lol yees!
Quaxly is so damn cute but i'm gonna need to go with Sprigatito. will be getting Pokemon Violet for sure.

am I paranoid or does the mention of battling Pokemon to catch them on the website mean this doesn't have the Arceus catching system?
Fuck. I need to play Arceus.
So happy they're building on that formula though, a new era for Pokémon games

I wouldn't call Blaziken a rooster either, but Cyndaquil (And Torchic) itself fits the motiff. Fennekin is the only real issue before this chili dragon.
This is my one gripe with Arceus how you had to keep leaving the open areas to get to another, hope it's all seamlessly connected this time.
I was being a great big jerk and I said some mean things and I'm sorry Game Freak for all that. Every idea I pushed back against for the series is working great. I almost cried when in Arceus you could turn around and not even look at the battle happening. That's so cool.
Pound for pound I think this is my favorite group of starters in a LONG time. I love all three, their final evos will be how I have to decide.
I imagine this will split the difference between traditional and Legends games.

It is very unlikely we can just toss pokeball to catch stuff. Which I for one an glad for. Save that for the spin-offs.
Call me crazy but if you told me that Arceus or Violet Scarlet released around the same time as these I would believe you
You're crazy then.
Even with the benefit of modern emulation and upscaling there's a notable gulf between this and Game Freak at their worst.

Quaxly's a good one, we're overdue for a waterfowl starter, and it's a charming little fella. Fuecoco's pretty visually interesting and I'm most interested in its evolutions. Sprigatito's cute but I can't not immediately compare it to Litten considering that was just two generations prior; hopefully this one stays on four legs
It's a cute crop of starters, on the whole. Leaning Fuecoco but can easily be convinced toward Quaxly

This and hating the British is probably the only thing holding Spain Twitter together.
Spanish twitter is great. I still remember the memes from when Franco was ousted of el Valle de los Caidos.
"It looks like a PS2 game" is a compliment to the graphics IMO.
At least the trees have some variety in them.
This won't happen. It'll be like Arceus where (plot spoiler) it will have diverging plot lines., I hoped.
Jesus christ that opening gameplay shot is possibly some of the ugliest ingame footage I've seen in a trailer in I don't know how long, it's actually embarrasing that Pokemon is so far behind the curve THIS is considered good enough to be the public's first impression of the game (especially after Xenoblade 3 just got revealed the other day).
Like what on earth is up with the nuclear glow lighting going on, the stupidly low resolution blurry foreground textures and the hyper sharp edges on the buildings in the back? At least Arceus Legends had the desaturated and muddy looking colours to slightly mask the garbage textures, resolution and jagginess, cranking saturation to 200% is doing no favours for this.
After playing Arceus for 143 hours, I cam daresay I am used to the graphical prowess Game Freak is putting out. I don't mind subpar graphics, so as long as the gameplay loop is fine.
It really does look better. Unlike Arceus which looked behind in a lot of areas, this looks more in line with what i expect from an open world on switch. It's not perfect(It's the fucking switch) but it's also better looking than Arceus' first showing as well. And while I didn't mind Arceus' art direction, I feel like this one is much more consistent across the board.
Also it looks like that UGLY ASS TILED WATER EFFECT FROM ARCEUS IS GONE THANK GOD!!
If Game Freak doesn't reference this meme I will be disappointed.
LOOK AT HOW FUCKING SMALL THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!
I do think it looks better than Arceus, love the desert shot
I'm really confused why they decided to make this at the same time as Legends Arceus instead of just... making either that or this better. Why two major Pokemon games in 2022? They had last year's gap filled with BDSP. I will never understand this company. Well, Arceus was a fun enough time that I'm willing to give this a shot. If it's a step back or (more likely) a step sideways, so be it. I'm not that invested. It's just... weird.
