its almost like the first trailer they showed was a steaming pile of dogshit. Arceus too. Lets see if they can actually make it look like a wiiu game, as opposed to a wii game,.

---

that was a stantler variation

---

Yea Arceus still looks like ass and has framerate issues.

---

growlith variation

---

Also Sinnoh Growlithe/Arcanine.
Sinnoh Bravairy

---

Amazing its now a shitty looking wiiu game as opposed to a wii game!

It looks sort of fun. Ill still buy it.

---

I'm just not at all interested in this game.

---

shinx has a new form huh

---

atleast we're getting new pokemon

---

That thing is a Stantler Evo
And a Basculin evo


---

Oh shit I forgot this was happening

---

So, are we actually going to battle people..?

---

2 months between game releases.
You can transfer from Arceus to BDSP.

---

And there's no ranked battles... why?

---

Can we talk about how ugly these games look? Jesus.

---

Well BDSP looks better than it did, and I'm curious if the ungerground area is going to be a shiny hunting method or something. Arceus... well I want the new Pokemon, but damn does this game look not good.

---

Ok, but why the chibi style for the dp remakes. It looks like shit. It's not even a good chibi representation

Arceus really does look like Pokemon: BotW. Also got some Monster Hunter vibes from the different areas, hub village, and base camps.

Now if only it looked actually great. There are some good ideas there, but everything looks poorly executed, and there doesn't seem to be much of anything in the overworld besides wild pokemon.

BD/SP look a lot better, but I'm extremely skeptical. Still no news of Platinum features? And it will most likely only feature Gen 1-4 Pokemon with no future generations being included...

This too.

I have heard rumors that there will be no Distortion World in BDSP; so much for Giratina being available since it lives there. This direct didn't give me much hope that the rumors are wrong.

I don't know enough about platinum (I never played 3rd version games) do be able to tell you if there were any platinum features in the presentation, I'm sure someone will notice something.

This series really shouldn't have gone 3D.

Oh yes, because the highest selling entertainment franchise would look so good in primitive 2d graphics

I know. But atleast if they throw some of their endless money at it it can look decent. 2d graphics tapped out 2 decades ago.

If the pokemon company gave a shit they could make all the games look like new pokemon snap.

Show me modern day 2d graphics that couldn't exist 20 years ago.

Good lighting does not count.

---

1. just cause it could exist in the past doenst mean it cant still look amazing today

1. "show me thing but not this good example" is a terrible way to start.

also this is like 12 years ago (but not 20) and this still looks better than many 3d games coming out

i never said it can't look good. I said it tapped out.

Perhaps "Peaked" would have been a better word usage.

"it was later revealed at AOU 2008 that KOF XII would use newly-drawn 2D sprites on detailed 2D backgrounds. Producer Masaaki Kukino informed Kotaku that the game is one hundred percent hand drawn, there being zero cell shading in the game."

changes nothing. This could have been made 20 years ago.

---

I dont know where this stipulation that if it COULD have been made 20 years ago its "peaked" is coming from
new things are made form existing things like all the time?

also who cares if something has peaked, this isnt high school, this whole angle is stupid
