We got the Gen 1 through 5 sounds redone in Gen 6 :)
Also, they made these models to be futureproof
Why hasn't anyone commented on the mechanical platform rising to the rooftop of a building in that CG trailer?
Could this be a sort of a hint about verticality or just a one off area?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Looks like it. Unprecedented. Pretty major year for Switch with that being the case.
Why are people shocked that they are using the same models? No one would be crazy enough to redo over 800 models and have to make another 80 or so for the new Pokemon. In fact since they are using the same models but touched up, people should be more positive cause this lets them work on more new Pokemon. I'm confident they will have 100+ new Pokemon, excluding regional variants.
Honestly, even if they were to miraculously deliver a sprawling Pokemon open world, they would still have those same touched up models running around.
Which is why the battles have no stutters, the battle models tanked performance in the 3DS games because of how good they were. This was expected, and to be honest its hyperbole to think this is a bad decision. If they looked low poly, sure, but they look quite excellent and feel in place for the hardware.
The models were so intricate that's why the 3DS games ran like ass when there were too many larger/intricate Pokémon on screen. It's why they killed Triple and Rotation battles in Gen 7
The official Chinese website says [主角将造访伽勒尔地区的各座"道馆"，以成为冠军为目标展开冒险。 ]
It means [You'll visit the various 'Gyms' in the Galar region, starting your adventure and aiming for the title of Champion. ]
But the word Gym has double quotation marks which are always used in Chinese to mean other things rather than the literal and original meaning of the word. Only find them in simplified and traditional Chinese webpages, not for other languages, interesting.

Didn't know how much I wanted that until I read it.
(I think regional variants are unfortunately done.)
You know the New Gimmick symbol makes me think of rotation battles with the spiral theme and 3 dots inside it. What if the gyms are all rotation battles now?
The HD gen 7 models (already available in Sun & Moon) couldn't be rendered in HD on the 3DS.
Oh yeah speaking of those, I hope Triples returns, there were a lot of interesting mons like Mega Blastoise that thrived there!
Might be a silly question as I don't know any Chinese, but is it possible this is done to distinguish these from regular old real-world gyms?
The cgi trailer for the starters has their cries in them using the original cry style.
I'm so sad that there's no hint of improved battle animations. If there was ever a chance to do it, this was it. It looks like it's the same 3 or 4 animations per pokemon. One for physical attacks, one for special attacks, one for getting hit etc.
like
i just hate the way Pikachu slides back and forward again after getting hit. It's super lazy, and you just know that Pokemon are going to be turning on the spot throughout the game with no real physics or weight behind it.
It's 2019 and we're still not any further on from this;

I don't think they look that detailed. They look fine. I mean, if Pokken can deliver two Pokemon fighting each other in real time, with an online mode, it's not farfetched (ha!) to assume the general public doesn't understand why they can't touch up the models.
Yeah between this and some sort of Pokefootball reference... I wonder if the gyms are just gonna be the Premier League
Because it's way better, and people realized random encounters was one of the few things that added challenge to Pokémon games.
The best solution would have been: 2-3 visible pokémon for each zone just to make this world alive, but the big ones (like Clefairy at Mt Moon for instance) only random encounters.
The problem with Game Freak is that they introduce you new ideas sometimes but if the feedback is negative, then they just throw it in the garbage with the next entry instead of fixing it.
Multiple reasons, at least in my case. Random encounters have a "surprise" element that just isn't captured by having everything immediately visible on the field. Random encounters are just like presents; you never know what you'll get, whether it's something really good and rare, or something common, or in between, or whatever. Of course, people may disagree on that, and say you can still have that feeling with them visible on the field, and that's fine, but for me, random encounters work better for that and they just never bothered me.
Plus, for stuff like shiny hunting, I feel that having multiple Pokémon visible on the field all at once can easily work against you, as it's so, so easy to not pay attention and miss something, mistaking it as just a normal Pokémon or not seeing it at all with so much ground to cover and the shiny potentially being on any part of the map that's currently loaded. Like, that's something that happened to a streamer I watched: he was just chaining normal Shellder in the Seafoam Islands in Let's Go Pikachu, trying to get one with good IVs and stuff, when a shiny one happened to pass by on the screen. However, because he wasn't looking for it at all, it easily being mistaken for a Magikarp (which is also in the area) when not specifically looking for it, especially with the deep fog in Seafoam Islands water on top of it all, he didn't actually notice it until it despawned and its too late.
With random encounters, that kind of thing at least is never an issue because you only have to worry about the one Pokémon (Doubles Grass and the like aside) at the time, so much, much, much, lower chance of ever being in that kind of situation and having that kind of peace of mind, that I'm not missing something out of the corner of my eye or a different part of the field like what happened to Flare's shiny Shellder is another nice perk of random encounters for me.
Then another part of it was how, at least in Let's Go, on-field encounters were just kinda lifeless. As in, they don't really care about you, other Pokémon, other trainers, or anything. They just show up, run about a bit, and then eventually despawn. And all that is just kinda weird and just takes me out of it, just feeling so much like each Pokémon was isolated in its own little world or something. Now, granted, they could just easily improve on that and make wild Pokémon actually interact with each other a bit and scare each other off or chase each other down and stuff, or something like that. But that's obviously a lot more work to implement something like that, especially for each Pokémon, and so if it's specifically between the Let's Go implementation of visible overworld Pokémon encounters or having random encounters back, I'd personally take random encounters back just to avoid how off-putting and weird that is, especially combined with everything else.
And just more stuff like that. Like, there's other minor stuff, like how because of how Viridian Forest was implement in LGE/LGP and its high encounter rate, it's difficult to entirely avoid Pokémon in there at times without using Repels and if I'm going to be using Repels anyway, I just feel like the game might as well have random encounters at that point, but most of the rest is small stuff like that, at least for me.
In short though, it's definitely more a pro/con thing for me, very similar to discussions like whether or not Pokémon should keep turn-based battles (which I also think it should). Neither's inherently better or worse than the other and each just has certain strengths and weaknesses they each bring to the table, and so it's very easy to come down on either side depending on what combination of pros/cons appeals more to you personally. And for me, that combination of pros/cons leads me more on the side of random encounters, but yeah, that's just my take anyway.
That's what I thought as well from my limited knowledge of Chinese, since the 道 part of 道馆 (second character implying "place") comes from "the way" or "the road" as in taoism (teachings of "the way"), so that's maybe why it got the quotation marks.
I'm fairly certain that the English and other language names are translations of the Japanese name, and hi has no sort of relation to score in Japanese.
There is no such distinction in the Japanese.
The surprise aspect of random battles is bogus because its pure time wasting having to watch the transition and then leave every time its not something you care about (which is a great amount of times).
Especially when you're trying to find something with a really low spawn rate and you're just spamming that battle transition - run sequence over and over. Let me listen to the damn music until I see something worthwhile.
Regarding how you dont like how its not believable when they dont interact.... having a world where the only life is hiding in tall grass is a step below that.

Galar Lapras could be that Loch Ness monster people want to see.

It's 2019 and we're still not any further on from this;
I know right? They should definitely take the time to add animations for all 728 moves hitting all 816+ Pokemon! Wouldn't take up a significant amount of time at all...
User Banned (1 Week): Inflammatory false equivalencies and previous infractions
Let's go was one of the only decent Pokémon games period. It's only toxic fanboys that whine about how their precious game was taken from them, and made more accessible to the masses. Pokémon fans may as well have worn Make Pokémon Great Again hats with Tiki Torches telling casual players and Pokémon Go fans to stay out of THEIR franchise and demand some kind of wall to keep out filth like me out of their franchise.
Like how dare they make Pokémon more accessible.
I'd probably not even want to play this if it wasn't for Let's Go. Sure maybe there should have been a veterans mode for Let's Go. But it was slick, I enjoyed not battling wild Pokémon and loved the innovation of seeing wild Pokémon, I even enjoyed the clean art style, it got me into Pokémon again. My only huge criticism is that the motion controls should have been optional.
Those are 20 modes in a fighting game compared to 800+ models in an RPG with over 700+ attacks. Its unrealistic to expect Gamefreak or any company actually to have to program and model unique attack animations for each Pokemon depending on the attack.
Yep. If they had Pokedex Percentage factor into Pokemon on the overworld I wouldn't mind, but just straight up overworld encounters just kills what Pokemon is.
Comparing people who criticise Let's Go to racist Trump supporters.
Now I've seen everything.
Now I've seen everything.
Even basic Pokémon had the number of polygons you'd have expected from a PS3 game.
Don't mistake texture and art style for intricacy
800 characters is a lot more than 76. Especially the amount of unique moves and what not... yeah... I'm sorry it's not happening, just an insane amount of work. Maybe something a B team can dedicate years too as A team releases games and then maybe in 10 years it will be ready.
They won't have to include 800+ models in a single game. They can add them later in the expansion. Most have around 400.
Yeah 'cause not having your favorite Pokémons in the game is a good thing.
Each Smash character has about 30+ different moves they can do, and all characters getting hit do not have any special animations for each attack, they're just knocked back or sometimes frozen for a second with a facial animation and then knocked back. Comparing Smash animations to the amount of animations Pokemon would need for each attack and each pokemon is trivial
