>In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Game Freak actually took the time to program different Pokemon to cry in the overworld depending on the time of day, to reflect how those same animals behave in the real world - bird Pokemon cries are heard during the morning, mammal-like Pokemon are more active throughout the day and at night you'll mostly hear bug Pokemon cries
HOLY SOVL

Cool. And how does that effect gameplay at all.

How about those nighttime route themes? Whatever happened to those?

It's a Pokemon game, it's about getting immersed in the world not optimizing the shit out of the mechanics.

>>714296220 (OP)
except the game is a step back from literal gbc games
runs at sub 20 fps all times
no indoors
woke as fuck
buggy as fuck

from where did this tid bit come from?

>>714297482
it is really telling that this was made clear by somebody who worked on the system directly. that is to say; nobody fucking noticed.

>>714298220
That's a good sign though.
With these kinds of small details that are meant to help with immersion they ARE supposed to be unnoticeable.
You'd never think twice about the soundscape of ScarVio because it sounds natural, it sounds how it's supposed to sound.
If they'd done a shit job you would immediately be able to tell and it'd be unbearably distracting.

>>714298635
maybe if we lived in a world where every detail of every game wasnt picked apart by autists i would agree. but we do and even they (me, im the autist) didnt notice.

In Emerald you can hear the cries of Pokemon currently eligible to appear. So the Pokemon you hear are the ones that are actually around, and not the ones who you "should" hear based on normal real-world logic. I think this is a better system, they just should've brought it back.
Doesn't the way SV does it imply that all the encounter pools are arbitrary game-isms and the Pokemon you "should" be seeing correlate to the normal animals you should see in the area? That's pretty lame, no?

I want to replay the game, is emulation or switch 2 the better version?

>>714299319
It's pretty crazy to study various real world ecosystems first-hand so you can recreate them for your made up world filled with exclusively fictional creatures for which you came up with the sounds yourself.
Any other game could just throw on countryside_nightscape_ambiance.mp4 and be done with it.

>>714296220 (OP)
>HOLY SOVL
Lmao, they added one decent immersive feature but gutted the rest of the game comparatively
Pokemon players are pathetic

>>714300121
Emulated probably has patches to get 95% of the Switch 2 experience

>>714300121
Runs amazing on Switch 2, shiny hunting is much more easy.

>>714300272
Won't have the increased spawn numbers.

>>714300069
That's essentially how it works in Scarlet and Violet too, just with all the additional bells and whistles OP mentioned.
The cries you hear are also based on distance between you and the Pokemon and they take the environment into account when outputting with a certain kind of reverb.
Pokemon will also reply to each other's cries if they're in the same area and it makes sense for them to do so.

>>714296220 (OP)
some models also got upgraded in SV

>>714296220 (OP)
>HOLY SOVL
And then you'll see 15+ rare Pokemon in unnatural clumps while you try to dodge wild encounters. Fuck you.

I fucking love Pokemon Scarlet and you're all wrong.

>>714301371
Is there a reason so many guys use that ugly ass manbun hairstyle?
Is it some kind of meme?

>>714301371
Me too. Solid ending + character development with Arven. Still wish it had more of a budget but i'll take no VO over shit American VO.

>>714300539
There shouldn't have to be "bells and whistles". If the Pokemon isn't active at night, I shouldn't be hearing its cry at night because it shouldn't be in the encounter pool at night in the first place, not because it's a mammal and thus "should probably be active during the day".
If Game Freak feels that the existing encounter pools don't give enough of a sense of a realistic ecosystem (suspension of disbelief permitting), they should FIX THE ENCOUNTER POOLS.
>Pokemon will also reply to each other's cries if they're in the same area and it makes sense for them to do so.
This I like and is actually a nice neat detail.

>>714302704
Because the game forces you to switch at one point in the dlc. I imagine most don't bother to change it back, like me.

>>714296220 (OP)
we always told you that the game is soulful but you guys just kept rejecting it because muh performance.

I mean you can go play pokemon showdown if thats all you want from the game.

You really want impressionable children to think it’s okay to go wandering in the woods at night?

>>714296220 (OP)
SV are unironically much better than SS. Why is gamefreak so fucking bad at making it run good though.
The thing is I'm willing to give a lot of leeway on graphics in pokemon but yikes its ugly.
Game mechanics wise I think SV was a baby step in the right direction at least.

>>714304680
>Why is gamefreak so fucking bad at making it run good though.
"should we make so that the game doesn't load the entire map if you're in single player mode?"
"lol, lmao"

>>714304680
>What is the Paldean Sky Sphere larger than our actual sun.

>>714304680
that's because SV was going to be a switch 2's title that got downgraded as a one for switch 1

>>714296220 (OP)
Didn't Ruby version do that too? I recall hearing cries on the overworld.

game needs a "native" switch 2 port to deal with the remaining texture issues, but otherwise the game is even more stable than yuzu with a patch. even bad games require more than double for stability when it comes to emulation

>>714305273
Even still, just put it next to TotK or even BotW.
I know the dev teams would have had diferent goals art and graphics wise (probably also talent) but its night and day.

>>714305273
So was Splatoon 3. It still did 60fps during matches and had better texture and model quality than SV.

I honestly don't care about Pokemon cries. I want to hear them say their name. I don't CARE that they're supposed to be fake animals. Say your name or some kind of equivalent. Like, Charizard never says its name. That's granted. But come on. TRY for the others.

>>714306314
No, every cry should sound like its from red/blue.

What would a Juliana gf be like

>>714305464

I'm not memeing just look the huge difference between the switch 1 and 2 version

It's a package deal, Nemona will be there, and she is there exclusively to fight in pokemon battles. You can't get rid of or fuck her.

?

>>714296220 (OP)
Juliana is underrated

>>714296220 (OP)
I can't get immersed if the game looks worse than an early 3D PS1 game, and the modern pokemon look like some basic geometric shapes lazily put together.

I have an addiction to brown latina pokegirls.
I said it!
