they rly couldnt give us this artstyle in HD eh?

They botched 3d with xy but ORAS enviroment 3D is so good

Who said I was defending it? I said it looks goofy, but it's my preference.

That's your opinion and I respect it.

this game still looks nice tbh

prolly the most colourful pokemon game yet

gen 5 is uglee

you can tell how bad the devs wanted to go fully 3d and it shows

the sprites are super stretched out

everything looks strained and pixely

RSE was the peak of the 2d era

Said it before but i dont -love- gen 8, but i do like it (probably a lot to do with its online comp).

Its a decent middle ground of the golden years of gen 1 - 5 & the imo dark times of gen 6 & 7. But i do hope gen 9 is a noticable step up from gen 8, which judging by Legends, it'll more than likely will be.

Btw the gens for me personally from a casual pov: Gen | 3 > 1 > 5 > 2 > 4 | > > | 8 | > > > | 7 > 6 |

Not including remakes or side games of said gens, & I've been playing since OG Yellow version.

Gen 4 remakes look terrible. First main series game to get outsourced to a different studio too. Feel bad for the Sinnoh fans who were robbed from the proper treatment Gens 1-3 got.

Legends looks great though can’t wait for that.

It got the treatment it needs. It didn't need to be 3D. I'm happy it's not in SW/SH style.

Still mad tho how oras changed the location of your intial encounter with the Pokemon Aron lmao.

Like wtf bro what was the point of making us wait like two more damn badges to get Aron in the remakes when in all 3 ogs you can get it in the 2nd gym area cave smh

Honestly if Gen 4 looked like SW/SH I probably would have just been like eh.

Not having that weird wild overworld Pokemon pop in the games look goofy, but lord I'm happy it's different. Battles are still 3D too and has the Lets go style, I like Lets go artstyle. So no complaints.

Didn’t need to be 3D but it also didn’t need to look like a mobile game either.

Also they managed to refine and build on XY’s graphics with ORAS in many ways. Even if you didn’t like SWSH the foundation was solid and they’ve could’ve followed up the same way with the Gen 4 remakes.

It doesn't look like a mobile game. Look at the screenshots of the older game and the remake. It's a 1 to 1 remake of Diamond and Pearl. They took the 2.5D overworld sprites of DP and made them 3D. They even kept in the load lines DP had I'm sure it's going get cleaned up more by the end of the year.

The battles use the artstyle of Lets Go which looked way better and clean than the SW/SH style.

No they couldn't. This isn't made by the team that made SWSH. This game is being made by Masuda's team that made Let's Go and ILCA. That's why the battles use Let's Go style. They didn't need to have the games overworld in full 3D, which would cost more money and then it would just be them reusing animations.

If I have to see Hua's happy animation for the 3rd time I'm going to scream.

They really going that way with Pokémon Legends

i really hope they dont f*** up the cutscenes in spear pillar

also really hope they get the distortion world in there but idk

Game looks like s*** bro. Should've just wholesale used the Let's Go style if they were gonna do this s***. It looks like an HD version of an ugly 3DS game.

Nah that's one thing we won't have to worry about. ILCA is a video production company first and made the cut scenes for some of the best 3D RPGs out there like Nier Automata and Dragon Quest 11

I'm just now getting around to watching the direct

I agree, this would have looked amazing on 3DS but it's gonna look awful on switch

Imagine playing this s*** on a tv

They rly making a $60 Wild Area so they didnt have to put one in the dp remake lmao

Straight up what's the point of playing this over the OG when the OG looks better lol?

Why would it look awful on the switch? Links Awakening remake used this same exact art style on the switch and looks amazing.

It used the same style but was executed way better. This looks horrible.

We don't know how far along the game is in that trailer. It doesn't look awful. It just looks goofy.
