Pokemon is forced to an HD console and now - the developers are out of excuses

I feel like that would be a waste of their creative potential and ambition, TBH. Nintendo's teams are capable of much better.
bullshits. xenoblade 2 is absolutely better than x technically.
The recent news about not including all the pokemons rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and they start to view the game from a different viewpoint since then.
Yup, I have been saying this since the beginning. Let's Go actually pulled the style it went for much more successfully than what we have seen from Sword & Shield, the latter basically looks like a rehash from Sun & Moon.I actually prefer the look of Let's Go.
It had a nice solid and consistent art style.
It's about time that Game Freak started receiving actual global criticism for their problems.
It's a matter of taste and artstyle/world preference in this case because the difference isn't that huge.bullshits. xenoblade 2 is absolutely better than x technically.
You know, i'm still playing Xenoblade Chronicles X for reasons. One is that it's gorgeous open world rpg.
And it seems this game has some fans here. 😉

I think X looks technically better and is a lot bigger in scope, and I beat Xeno 2 and barely played X..
Lmao one of these threads.
Well...the games could definitely be better looking but that doesn't seem to be their priority huh?
Edit: Holy smokes some of y'all need to go outside. Criticism is fine but it's looking kinda like r/Pokemon in here right now.

It's not hate, I love Pokemon since 5 years old lol
I want it to be great, not mediocre because GF refuses to expand
Because they are not having the national dex in the games so we now have a hate mob trying to change their minds.
And mods don't seem to care. I've reported them all too.
They're cutting Pokémon from the game to focus on graphics and animations, so people are scrutinizing that to hell and back
While that would be nice I think the more important thing would be Game Freak hiring more staff. They want to put more focus on non Pokemon stuff and that seems to be to the detriment of Pokemon. Ideally they'd go from the current 150~200 they are at now up to around 500 with around 300 or more of those people dedicated to Pokemon.
Gamfreak honestly seems like a terribly run studio. Or at least run by narrow minded, closed box thinking types.
Had gamefreak ever once said it was because of modeling? There is a lot more to the games then just their models.
I think that people who expected more were being naive.
It's the same studio that made the prior games. Do people really thought they had tons of features ready to go and where only hold back by hardware? I really have no simpathy, it was clear as day that they would keep doing what they always did.
There is a lesson to be learned here: don't expect devs to fulfill promise they never made.

Xenoblade 2 isn't a great showcase, I feel.
It was a rushed and heavily outsourced year one switch title.
Here's what the main Monolith Soft team did as their first HD game on Wii U
Goddamn XCX still looks so good. I still think it tops XC2 in some areas.
On topic, Sword and Shield does not look great by any means, but it definitely looks better than the 3DS version and it wouldn't be true to say otherwise.
Not that it excuses them, but being Game Freak's first full-scale HD outing (they did do Tembo for PS3/360 but that was a 2D game) they might indeed be overwhelmed, much how the first gen of Wii U titles from Nintendo often suffered from delays while the teams became acclimated to HD development. Game Freak management should have foreseen this, of course.
But they aren't using new models. They are the exact same as the ones used in XY.
That's pretty subjective. I'd agree that there's been a drop in quality but still, not everyone will agree with that.
"Upscaled Sun and Moon" lol
Edit:Remove twitter
WAIT. You were the one harassing Joe?

Nintendo are still delaying games now. HD development isn't easy, even with experience.
I would delete this, they'll report you and get you warned or banned.
People who sh*t on XC2's handheld resolution, Torna pretty much fixed most of its problems.
Game Freak has no excuse.

Lmao wow, has this guy played the entire game to know for a fact there is less content, or is he just basing this off there being less available pokemon? Crikey! What an overreaction.
I don't think the point is about having "realistic" graphics like people in this thread keep mentioning. A game can have cartoony visuals but still look fantastic. Look at Wind Waker for instance (despite the game being pretty old), it's cell-shaded and cartoony, but visually striking and it holds up well even today. Something like that would be nice from Pokémon. There's a lot they can do with the amount of money and resources they have, but they unfortunately choose not to.
I said that in an another thread and got attacked by 4-5 posters for it, it's a vicious movement is what it is and it's getting boring.
Gamefreak isn't lazy (game devs all work very hard for the most part), they're just poorly managed all around. The stuff they do every game wouldn't even pass in a Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed yearly released despite Pokémon Gens being years apart from one another.
Doesn't mean I'll stop playing Pokémon but Gamefreak has been doing terrible shit for a very long time and getting away with it due to people constantly deflecting legitimate criticisms. There's no perspective for anyone involved here and honestly it's a shame that game journalists and people of importance in the Pokemon community refuse to take a stand on these things.

Once they announced that not all pokemon would be included in the game the core fanbase's opinion on the game soured.
Thats hiiiighly unlikely regardless of what the eye test says
I mean, this isn't their first big hd game. Even if you're being generous, that would still have been last year's Pokémon game.
And why can't we expect that? Monolith soft managed it with what has to have been a fraction of the budget (since Pokémon will have expectations of ten times the sales or more)
Yeah Let's go is obviously way less ambitious but the artstyle is super clean and sharp, very easy to read while Sword/Shield is muddier
The models go hand to hand with the animations they're using now in the game. It'd be understandable that they're having issues having to do animations for all 800ish Pokemon, but they're just reusing all the 3DS models which were futureproofed for when they went HD. Even the overworld animations you see in the Wild Area were already completed and inside the Sun and Moon games. People aren't seeing the increased "quality".
