I want a 3D Pokémon in the graphics style of Animal Crossing New Horizons, the lighting and shading in that game looks way better than whatever GameFreak makes. The last couple of 3D Pokémon games look so generic, basically bog standard anime game.
Looks very pretty. I wonder if Gamefreak has finally pulled their finger out of their ass.
When hell freezes over, we’ll get the Pokémon game we all want and deserve
Switch 2 sucks. What even is there for it that is a must? I still play switch 1 but there’s really nothing that makes me want to get the switch 2
Also, Mario kart 8 is now Nintendos version of Skyrim and gta v. we never even got part 9 for switch 1
Finally, hardware is powerful enough that even Gamefreak can make a decent looking 3d game!
In all seriousness though, it looks pretty nice. Looking forward to the return of diving. South-east Asia is an interesting setting for a new region. I have a feeling IGN isn’t going to like it though…
Lol
IGN reviewer walks in.
Pkmn Waves: chuckle I’m in danger
And its Not final. I’m Sure world building is mostly done. But I believe chars and Pomémon model will also bei polished.
I expected less tbh. I’m curious about further steps later in years.
“It’s not final” unfortunately means Gamefreak still have time to scale it down and make it look uglier. As they’ve done in the past.
Huh, so they’re actually going to wait a year. I honestly expected them to push a Pokemon game ASAP for the Switch 2, but I guess it’s better that they take their time than release a mess like Scarlet & Violet.
Legends Z-A was the title for the switch 2. I mean, Scarlet and Violet was clearly supposed to be the switch 2 title (its obvious they developed the game for that hardware) but they needed to rush it to get their one game a year quota.
They have to make time to finish that Sekiro-like.
What was wrong with scarlet and violet? I enjoyed them, but they were my first Pokemon game since the Gameboy SP.
Borderline broken on release, terrible framerate & graphics on Switch 1. Did you play them on Switch 2 by any chance?
Nope, I played it on the switch lite and didn’t have issues with framerate and graphics, but I didn’t buy it on release.
Why design routes when “open world”? PS2 ass graphics. Horrible frame rate and performance. Unnecessary number of shops with no life at all. Because “you can take the challenges in any order” none of them have any actual interest or difficulty. First main line pokemon game I ever DNF’d.
Dnf ? Fedora ?
Did not finish
Thx
As someone who hasn’t played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?
The Internet hates modern pokemon - and a lot of their critiques are valid - but imo they’ve been consistently fun and I have no idea why there’s so much hate for the latest ones which were a pretty chill time
Terrible. They are terrible today. The last game pair they put out was an absolute joke in every regard.
I recommend never giving them another penny.
Sounds good, I’ll continue to emulate Soul Silver and Emerald on my phone 😁
DS generations are probably the last ones worth playing - although hard to emulate on a phone with comfortable controls, I’d imagine.
I think I tried Platinum for a bit but yeah it was too cumbersome to play on my phone.
HGSS is peak Pokémon.
Oh, yes. And the shark has a N64 number of polygons, and they tried to copyright the term “jumping the shark”. But it’s okay, because there’s a horde of dumb people that will buy it anyway.
It definitely depends on how much they incorporate improvements from Legends:
ArceusZ-A (one of the side games). Gens 6 - 8 were all so easy that a popular way to play each of those is with a difficulty mod, if you are able.Gen 9 tried to mix it up a bit, but as another user mentioned the performance on the Switch was so poor that it was hard to enjoy.
Legends:
ArceusZ-A has introduced several quality of life features that could be game changing if they make it into Winds & Waves, but we shall see. This could be the most fun mainline gen, if they do it right, or they could fumble it again.Edit: Looking back, both times I meant to say Z-A I said Arceus. Whoops.
Arceus turned the whole game into pokemon snap with balls. Or the safari zone. It wasn’t good, unless you like playing pokemon games to catch every pokemon as fast as possible
Not only that, Arceus is terribly empty
I meant to say Z-A. My bad. Arceus didn’t really hold my attention, likely for the reason you mention.
I’ve played every main-line and reboot pokemon game since they came out. I didn’t finish Scarlet and Violet, it was so bad, also didn’t finish Legends Arceus cause it was so lazy, and I’ve never played Legends Z-A. They’ve stopped putting in any amount of effort, so why should I bother to play them?
My wife is a true blue Pokemon fan. Finished every game to date including all the DLCs, remakes, and most of the spin-offs.
And even she couldn’t finish ZA. Which surprised me because she loved Arceus. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the fact that the game sets you up to expect 26 ranks to climb through, but then it just skips most of them. It was too lazy and disappointing for her to overlook.
Let’s see what kind of unbelievable powecreep they come up with to upstage Urshifu and the horses.
Pokemon in Margaritaville?
