Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
You didn't really answer my question. I'm comparing them graphically. The environments and Digimon in Cyber Sleuth actually looks a lot more detailed than the Sword/Shield trailer. You'd think that a switch game would look miles better and be way more detailed than a PS Vita game.
But I guess I will give that Sun/Sword will have bigger environments than Cyber Sleuth and I guess it's a tough task to make 800+ Pokemon look better than 200+ Digimon.
People seriously thinking that Nintendo had planned from the beginning to release a mainline pokemon game on a home console, right after the Wii U tanked, without any certitude that the followup would be a success and suddenly ignore the already huge fanbase of 3DS users, need to get outside more.
The Switch has only been out for 2 years, this game has been in development for longer than that. Nintendo wouldn't have taken that risk, when they've never done it in the past....
I was here and Pokémon wasn't like this :) Unless I missed a console with a Pokémon that has this style please point it out and I'll go buy
In what universe does this
look better than this?
I'm sorry but it's straight up bullshit trolling.
That house is adorable and really well made. A little too busy perhaps, but it is executed well. Everything else I've seen however has been really lackluster and not as intriguing.
I'm real disappointed, but oh well, I guess these games arent for me anymore.
What does that even mean? Is that your way of saying you like it better?
No they haven't because this game was not developed after Lets Go, it started development a bit earlier and has been developed in parallel to Lets Go. Think of it as a few years ago their dev team took two different routes, last year we saw one and this one the other. We will probably see the improvements that you say in Gen 9, but with +2 years of dev time done they weren't going to redesign the whole game in less than a year to fit them.
this is where am i about this. i think the art style is weaker in the next game.
I'm a bit disappointed that they only showed single battles in the trailer. They're never going to make double battles the standard in single player, are they?
It doesn't look like it.
I mean it was more consistent and had characters that actually didn't look out of place.
Direct aired 3h44m ago and #PokemonSwordShield is still 3rd in trend topic WW, Pokemon is 4th, Sobble 6th, Scorbunny 9th and Grookey 10th.
This is gonna make so much money.

Looo all I ask for is a dickhead rival that makes me unreasonably upset at a children's game okay.
I guess that's where we differ, since I care about the quality of the games themselves instead of checking to see how good a texture looks.
That Nibel twitter post is bullshit. This is the first home console RPG Pokemon game. It is not unreasonable to expect a slight bit of iteration in addition to retaining features that were positively received in past iterations (Pokemon in overworld from Let's go)
Yeah, they've really dropped the ball since the halcyon days of Red and Blue.
No, absolutely not. The environments in CS are hot fucking garbage. The Digimon are maybe roughly the same, but it comes nowhere near Pokemon. I absolutely love Digimon and I played those PS4 games a ton, but they come nowhere near this game on any level.
I dig the new area, although it doesn't really look like an evolution, just what Sun & Moon did, but on a HD console this time. Still enjoy the setting, don't mind the new starters and the girl is cute af, so I will definitely play as her. Hope the camera will offer both a fixed variant (for newcomers who joined the franchise with Let's Go) and controllable camera for everyone else. The rotation shot gives me hope, but with GameFreak, we never know...
I'm not writing off a controllable camera yet.
I am wlling to bet that is just a styling way of showing the protagonist's face, look at the horribly akward angles reminiscent of Sun/Moon, it's a fixed camera.
It's basic business sense.
A new Pokemon gen on the graphical scale of BotW (I warned people not to expect that) would require a three year development cycle costing in the region of $40 million along with potentially tying up Monolith Soft as development partners.
In the same three years, Game Freak can develop and release a Go spin off, a 3DS+ visual instalment of the main series, a small indie like new IP and a traditional Pokemon remake selling an average of 15 million copies each with a combined development cost of less than $30 million.
We would all love a massive AAA Pokemon game with much higher fidelity graphics but it ain't going to happen anytime soon for the reasons above.
Hijacking thread to ask a question about Pokemon Let's GO on Switch....
What control method would people recommend for a 6 year old? I plan on getting the game and wondered if I should be watching for that poke ball controller to come on sale?
The demo seemed cool enough but i was caught off guard by the controller setup, and by the looks of this one the Pokeball will be limited to that game on the switch and we dont play the Mobile GO game.

I'm not trolling at all, I love freaking Pokémon! Of course this shots look better than Let's Go. I was talking about the battle screens in particular. It seems they still keep using the same 3DS assets there which I don't remember looking that yucky on Let's Go.
In what sense? Hasn't every Pokemon game since Gen 4 had that?
Which is why their different teams need to fucking communicate with each other for once.
Surely that's an issue you have with the character models over the actual environment then?
At least maybe the stadiums will be like gym battles that have restrictions or different battle settings. Maybe we could get a Double Battles stadium.
Mayyybbbe but i hope that it becomes Water/Dragon or even Water/Poison
Looks great. Extremely happy to see random battles haven't been axed, but hoping for the return of following Pokémon because that's a genuinely great feature that should be standard at this point.
Nice. This'll be the first Pokémon game I buy since Platinum. Also, I think this game will be more open than people think and they were just showing some bare bones stuff. Lets wait until after E3 because at least for me, something is off about this trailer.
Bro, water/fairy wasn't OP? I destroyed everything with Primarina.
That's what I meant when I said that the art direction was not consistent.
The ball is fun and a 6-year old would love it. It also makes cute sounds depending on the Pokemon you caught.
