Subjective, I think it looks fine. Anyway it was more to point out that such a game was not an impossible task on the 3ds, at least the new 3ds.

People on era are shitting and criticizing the whole game now. The pokemon community are only dissatisfied with their decision for not including the national dex.
The response was very positive from fans until they revealed that there is no national dex. I can understand now when people say "Era bubble"

I want to know the big open world games on switch yall are playing to say XC2 somehow looks bad in comparison to Pokemon
And if the sales never fall off, then will you lead a crusade against GameFreak?
Nintendo should be more involved
Pokemon is like their biggest franchise and should be treated the same way zelda and Mario are treated. Most of the current problems probably wouldn't be a problem if Gamefreak had a bigger team. Nintendo own part of pokemon too right? Can't they give them some resources or help them or something? Sword and shield is just an impossible game to make for a small team like Gamefreak who has been working on handheld games for over 20 years. It was never going to set any standards or look as beautiful as breath of the wild. Sword and shield are practically the only huge holiday game the switch is getting this year and I think a game like this deserves a bigger team and more resources. They've needed a bigger team for awhile now and it has finally caught up to them.
People have been waiting since the 90s for Pokemon sales to drastically drop off, hasn't happened.
I've lost a lot of interest in Pokemon and I'd like for them to have to make some serious, meaningful changes but I don't see why this or any near future releases would cause the sales to drop let alone "fall off a cliff"
The Pokemon fandom has been pretty excusing for a while now. The backlash against the franchise is fairly recent and certianly didn't exist in the DS era (or even early 3DS era). It really is time for the franchise to catch up to to what people expect from a multi million selling $60 franchise.
If they need to expand fine, if they need to outsource more fine, if they need to extend each generation to 4 years instead of 3 fine. It's very clear at this point that the developers are having difficulty keeping up with what fans want from the franchise.

Please don't be a voice of reason, you'll anger the mob.
A lot of people on this forum also post on other websites.
It hurts brand integrity in the long run. Just look at the Call of Duty franchise. It still sells a lot more than most games, but you can pinpoint the exact point where players gave the fuck up with putting up with a franchise that stubbornly refused for the better part of a decade to actually, uh, try, and the point where the devs noticed this and started throwing everything at the wall to see what could jumpstart the franchise.
And, regardless, that something sells well does not make it immune from criticism.
Absolutely. Pokemon Stadium 2 is my top fav Pokemon game and that was by EPD Kyoto.
I blame TPC since they started publishing the games starting with TCG 2 for GBC of all games, right as the GBA was releasing.
Pokemon Stadium 2 was among the swan songs of the pre-TPC era.

This one, maybe. What about the next one? And the one after that? When Pokemon stops selling into the 20's you'll see drastic changes.
The main reason why it's going to sell well is because most who are complaining are gonna cave in anyway.
I'm specifically replying to someone saying it will flop, don't need this lecture thank you.
No, why would I? I have a life. Is any opinion a crusade these days? Haha
People are going to start getting tired of Pokemons Stchick and I think we will start to see some changes this generation
Also for everyone that grows out of it there is a new generation that enjoys it as their first game they won't have the same grievances as people that have stuck with pokemon for years and why would they.
You look at the sales over the years and it's pretty clear that part of pokemon's success is that they are good at attracting new fans. They don't have to care about what the 30 year old pokemon fan needs/wants when the 7 year old new fan is fine with what they deliver.
Xenoblade 2 is a bad comparison OP, that game struggles a LoT to run on switch, and looks poo poo at times too. But Monolithsoft had to rush the game out/ their team was crippled due to Botw development
Yeah man I want the port to happen one day, also I keep dreaming of what the XCX team can showcase on the Switch cause again XcX on Wii u was fucking amaaaaazing looking
More XCX porn

I could understand if they had to do this for this game, and down the road with an update or another game they made sure they were there in a future entry once they had more time.
But their "we plan to do this for future releases" made me cancel my preorders. Since unless they do another R/S remake, god knows how long a Pokémon like Jirachi would take for it to be taken out of the "jail", so to speak.

Call of duty, the same Call of duty that keeps being the best seller of the year, that Call of duty ?
Feels kind of redundant with the other thread complaining about Pokémon sword and shield.
Tho it is weird that it feels like game freak struggles so much but doesn't adopt a more accessible engine while also making more side games like Giga wrecker and town.
I think they mentioned putting more effort into those than Pokémon?
Might have been a mistranslating

It's not only the engine, they are REALLY small and are also working on spin offs and other games like Town.
It's impossible to have a yearly franchise that way, they need at least double the studio.
Jeez, never played either game, but that looks waaaay better than what I've seen from the Switch game. XC2 must've been quite disappointing for the fans.Xenoblade 2 is a bad comparison OP, that game struggles a LoT to run on switch, and looks poo poo at times too.

I've been paying attention to discussions about Pokémon on this forum (and on gaf years back). It really is starting to seem like the general complaints people have had towards the franchise are starting to catch up to it. What started out as nerds complaining on gaming forums is turning into massively disliked videos and memes about the quality of the game's visuals. I'm betting that the franchise will either be massively overhauled presentation wise by the end of the current generation, or reviews will start pointing these issues out and docking points.
Lots of Xenoblade 2 hate in here. The game chugs but reduce the environmental scope by 40% and the vegetation and amount happening on screen by 30% and you would have your increased resolution and solid FPS, and looks way more alive and lush than Sword and Shield.
Wanted to make a thread like this... for me it is less about graphics and more of just a missed opportunity to create the game we all wanted.
Because they don't have the first clue about videogame development or the realities of modern 3D rendering on Switch when targeting 720p native in handheld and 1080p native in docked mode.
Those resolutions alone hamstring developers in terms of graphical fidelity.
GF also aren't used to large scale open Worlds or HD development and also have another full scale game in development with a tiny team (in modern development team terms).
People love to get angry. Wait for the game. If you don't think it's up to scratch for you personally? Then don't buy it. Simple.
The idea is to put the minimum amount of money in for the maximum amount of money out. They might change things but only if the new game sell and review poorly because of the game's low ambition / visual polish
Yeah. Perhaps form a second studio or let another studio make titles in between major releases like CoD
Unless you're specifically talking about the cut roster, you don't get to decide what everyone wanted.
Nah not dissappointing. Even though XCX is the better running/wayyy better looking game, Monolithsoft made up for it in the story and gameplay department for X2 instead which was vastly better than XCX in those departments :p
XC2 is cool and a better game, also looks fine on docked.
But it's not a tech showcase, no.
Their next game should be
I think they're adding animations but there's no way they remaking Pokémon models from scratch
I don't necessarily have a problem with how game freak makes the games, they are always good and charming but I think that they really lack manpower, working on a yearly schedule plus on 2 games simultaneously means that you cut corners.
My assumption watching the trailers was that they want this game to run well docked and undocked but I won't know that until I get to play it.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a much better art style and looks better than Pokemon but it did not run well. I love the game but it's not a technical darling on the switch.

If you change the model you change the rig which means you have to reanimate. Thats the industry standard, no proof required unless they have some dope ass tech that allow them to make new character models for console spec and retain their legacy animations which ... doesnt seem like something youd want anyways since they probably made a bunch of new rigs for their new prod pipeline
