Seriously tho lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W3Qa9ahxoM" data-time="


I remember playing PSP games in 2009 like Phantasy Star Portable 2 looking like this.
Remember playign generic JRPG 3D open world game on PS2 in 2006 looking like this.

Yet Game Freak with all the money and Pokemon fame can't even make Pokemon have Zelda Breath of the Wild level graphics >_>

If it doesn't have top of the line graphics, it's not a true Pokemon game.

i was very worried from the initial trailer that this game was just going to be a slightly prettier 3ds-style with the linear paths and stuff but the wide open spaces shown in this trailer give me hope

Pokemon will make like 8x the amount of money Zelda did yet they never use that money to make their game look actually current gen compared to other Nintendo games on the system.

This about it man, if they actually put some heart and soul into this they could make the greatest turn based RPG ever.

Its not just the graphics, after gen 3, every pokemon game has the slowest, and most unresponsive menus ever, and all the 3d ones run terribly

Id trade ugly for snappy menus and skippable cutscenes

I watched the direct in 240p and I gotta say, I am NOT impressed with the visuals. It was super blurry and I couldn't even read the words. How is this allowed from such a big studio?

Complaining that a game looks like a PS2 game is so dumb because game graphics haven't gotten that much better since the PS2 era.

The improvement from PS2 now is like nothing compared to the improvement from PS1/N64 to PS2/?GameCube/Xbox

They needed a new gimmick so they can pretend the last gimmick doesn't exist. They did the same thing with Z-moves.

Early PS3 graphics.


Most PS3 games, especially early ones, ran under 720p.

People have rose colored glasses about last generation.

Game Freak are mediocre developers who got lucky and happened to create the most popular multimedia franchise of all time. This allowed them basically guaranteed financial success in all of their games so they never had to push themselves. Give people a traditional Pokemon experience and you'll make plenty of money.

And I'm part of the problem since I love Pokemon and will absolutely end up buying this game. But I do with Game Freak would have to try a little harder.
