Even as someone who dropped ORAS after a few hours (I always seem to do that with Pokemon games) and hasn't played it for years...I can tell others right now that...it does NOT look better than the Gen 4 remakes, lmao.

I'm mainly talking about the art style of the overworld

Obviously the graphics aren't better it's a 3DS game

Must not be directed at me because I never said that. Outside of the framerate in the Wild Area at times and the lazy rehashing of Pokemon models Sw/Sh mainly looks ok to me.

Does it look as good as the first mainline console Pokemon game should look? No but it doesn't outright offend me.

It's a different artistic style. If you don't like it then you don't like it. I for one do like it; it's charming. We've got the realistic BotW-ish looks in Legends Arceus.

I'm more interested in what current gen stuff they're adding to the remakes, if anything. They usually add some newer mechanics. Fairy pokemon are a given, but what about megas or gigantamax?

Is it banned from VGC? That seems silly to ban the generation's main gimmick. They allowed Mega Pokemans and Z-Moves in there.

For singles maybe, but most VGC players love Dynamax

It is way more balanced in VGC than it is in singles

No, it's not. It could be in the next season. Problem solved. Smogon already did it because it's a shit gimmick. When the biggest competitive community of your game decides not to use your new main battle mechanic, something's up.
Singles and Doubles have vastly different metas, that's why a lot of the time Pokemon that are good in singles aren't necessarily also good in doubles. It has always been that way. Like for example Incineroar is NU in singles (which is the lowest tier), but in Doubles it is pretty easily one of the best Pokemon EVER, with a current 44% Usage Rate and a 76% Usage Rate in 2019's Ultra Series, that's with Pokemon like Mega Rayquaza and Primal Groudon/Kyogre available, and Inicineroar was still used more than all of them by a large margin.

It seems weird to say but when they balance Pokemon nowadays it seems like they take into consideration doubles over singles, and it's been that way for a while since doubles are the official competitieve format, and Dynamax has always been just fine in doubles. Most competitive players actually love the current format. Ironically currently they're doing the Restricted Mon format (Every Legendary) and it's literally the most balanced it's ever been in the history of VGC in terms of usage.

And it's ironic because I've been seeing more singles player complaining about how the meta is boring and stale this gen than ever. Probably because they banned Dynamax instantly lol

Barren?

Its a clear difference in not only the visual appeal of a proper cohesive art style. Even as basic as it is, looks WAY more inviting to me as a video game.

Its also the difference in imagination. I, and the like minded individual who created the first two images, have a picture in our head of what Open World Pokmon means.

Done by anyone with any semblance of passion, and adjacent to a room that has a thimble full of talent. You could create a ducking amazing Pokmon game. Pictures showing you surfing the sea on a Lapras, school of Magikarp swim by and a towering Shiny Garados emerging from
the Sea. That shit is awesome. Thats what the imagination the cartoon inspired and we all thought one day we would get to play.

What we get is looks like it was legitimately made by a complete amateur enthusiast. Wow. Look at me crouch next to a Bidoof with textures that wouldnt be acceptable on the N64.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises

Ill remind you all again. Were talking about the highest grossing franchise in existence. 100 billion dollars. And thats the best they could do?

Anyone who Stans for Pokmon in this day and age, I got water that was on screen in the movie The Titanic to sell you.

Sway is completely right

Pokemon being forced to move to consoles has exposed the flaws in GameFreak as developers. They don't have the resources or skillsets to allow for Pokemon to live up to its potential as an IP

They most definitely have the resources. For some unknown reason Gamefreak thought it was a good idea to split their development team on Sword and Shield with that other game no one bought.

Its not like they shouldnt have the resources to hire bigger and better teams.

If a company like Capcom can put out multiple Monster Hunter titles. Multiple Resident Evils. A Devil May cry. Anything else Im forgetting?? AND for them to be legitimately good fucking games with heart and soul poured into them no less.

Look me in the eyes and tell me any Pokmon game feels on par with AAA games other studios are putting out. Its unacceptable by comparison.

They have the capital to hire capable developers to their team but their roster is just too small to handle a multibillion dollar brand of games. With how big pokemon is they should be offering visual and gameplay experiences on a level of at the very least GTA V, a 7 year old game. Gta v took over 1000 people behind it and GameFreak only has 135 employees
