Amazing isn't it.

the aesthetic is comfy because it reminds me of Megaman Legends.

i'm not buying a sloptendo product however

I genuinely don't understand normalfags.
I get it being your comfort franchise
I get it because your world since you were a kid
But don't you want.. more?
We've seen what GameFreak can produce with an actual budget behind them, the entire reason Pokemon is in such a state is because game budgets are ridiculously low.

Double or even triple the budget and they're still make a huge profit. Jesus christ.

Fun fact: They could have sold Scarlet and Violet for $20 and it would have made budget back tenfold.

Game Freak have truly outdone themselves with this entry into the franchise. I just can’t believe how alive and fully realised the world feels. Finally, their years of world building have come together to create the perfect Pokemon Project. Exploring those beautiful vistas we always imagined as children with our Pokemon, every building bustling with NPCs, the architecture unique, with every nook and cranny feeling lived in. Wow, my friends. Game Freak have created with the Pokemon IP (the biggest franchise in the world at this point) a truly perfect video game. Just WOW!

>>723598727 (OP)
Soul

For the millionth time, pokemon appeal is the trainers and monsters so obviously the budget is mostly spent there and only very very little is used for the engine and world building.

The money isn't being spent, period. They keep their budget small to rake in profits. Any slop they ship will sell 20 million units anyway.

>>723599035
13 million budget. This game was probably on in development for two years or less. Multi billion dollar franchise btw

SV had the same shit in the classroom opening but running at 10fps. They simply don't care anymore, they just ship the minimum viable product and start developing the next slop.

>>723599615
10/10

>>723599035
It may surprise you but normalfags do not care about graphics at all.
Some of the most popular games in the world are Minecraft and Roblox and they look worse than Pokemon ZA.

Boomers on this board love to make fun of switch and switch 2 and how much better PC or PlayStation is. But actual kids just play on their phones games so ugly, you wouldn't even consider trying them.

>>723598727 (OP)
When your entire city is a single model that is always being rendered, you need to settle for N64 tier polygon budgets.
It's amazing how they just gave up on streaming, and their culling for props seems to be broken too. They just don't care anymore.

>>723599610
The initial investment was probably massive so they only do that every decade or so, I remember the initial Stadium 1 models came all they way pu to battle revolution just with texture and animation changes

>>723598727 (OP)
Wow.
I'm currently dancing mad.
I'm about to become a one winged angel and bring forth the darkness of eternity upon Game Freak.

>>723600241
Well that's because Stadium/Colosseum/BR were actually spin offs developed on a shoestring budget, but by competent studios. HAL and Genius Sonority btfo GameFreak so hard they never touched Pokemon again since then.

It's very strange that they put in scenes with good animations, background music, and lip syncing, but left out voice acting.
There are those who are saying that Gamefreak doesn't care anymore, but there are elements of high effort that can be found strewn around the game. I wonder if they were trying to experiment with new ideas but then just ran out of time?

>>723600827
I give you that, I still miss the real size of pokemon while battling

that was my favorite Gunz Online map.

>>723600969
>It's very strange that they put in scenes with good animations, background music, and lip syncing, but left out voice acting.
>the cutscene in question

>Gamefreak not even trying again
Am I supposed to be surprised? All their games have been pretty low effort, because the audience is guaranteed to buy it.
At least Legends actually tries to do something different with the formula, but the problem here is still Gamefreak are aware that they don't need to try very hard and will sell gangbusters anyway.

>>723601329
>about to shit on how the bird got stuck with bad pathing
>it fucking didn't, it actually flew over and hovered still intentionally
holy shit

>>723599209
The map is ironically one model so it would easily be ported to garry's mod as a map

>>723599035
>normalfags
Normalfags buy COD and FIFA. Pokedrones are "adult children" that made pokemon their religion.

>>723600969
Because it's a series meant to be accessible by literal babbies so they can't get away with not dubbing, and they release in ten different languages. The cost would be way too high, even putting GF's legendary cheapness aside.

>There are those who are saying that Gamefreak doesn't care anymore, but there are elements of high effort that can be found strewn around the game.
The devs are passionate but they have no fucking budget. The only people working there are getting paid dirt because it's Japan, average junior dev salary is like $30k. Which also means the devs themselves are probably low quality and don't have much talent either. The leaks show them begging execs for more budget to make higher quality games and putting out ambitious timelines, but none of it ever comes to pass because why bother, low-effort sloppa is more profitable.

>>723601781
this fucking oreo has to make the game run like actual shit all the time if the full model is always loaded, yeah?

>DK fans just got Bananza
>Pokemon fans get this turd

>>723601863
I appreciate how even when trying to give them the benefit of the doubt you still have to admit they're wanting for talent

>>723598727 (OP)
That looks like a Fulbright sven-coop map

>>723601892
Yes it sucks
S/V was the same, the entire map was loaded. Gamefreak literally does not know how to optimize games, even with god awful textures they don't know the fundamentals anyway

>>723599259
I'd take this stance too if I were a game dev desu

>>723602032
I will never defend Game Freak's total lack of talent, but the leaks do make it seem like somebody there at least wishes they were capable of making a good video game, and imagines that if they had more money they might pull it off.
They might be correct. With all the money the series rakes in they could easily stand up some spinoff studios led by experienced developers, using modern techniques to make high quality cutscenes, etc. But again why bother, budget sloppa sells just fine.

>>723601892
It's expensive but not that much, Cloud from FF7 Remake has around 110K polygons, for example.
That was actually how they "optimized" it, they probably couldn't figure out how to fix whatever was broken in time so that's what they decided to ship. The leaked beta builds looked much nicer.

>>723600023
>This is Pokemon in 2006... Wow...

Go back, tourist.

>>723602363
It's weird how other random studios instantly recognized how to make a Pokemon game look good. Focus on the Pokemon. All the budget in these games was dumped into the Pokemon models and the animations, every battle scene has like 90% of the triangles dedicated to Pokemon models. The pokemon are realistically sized so they can be huge and take up almost all of the screen real estate.

Meanwhile GF spends most of the drawcalls on random scenery or real time shadows on buildings or some shit. And the Pokemon models are recycled from the 3DS. And the Pokemon in cutscenes just do this shit >>723601329

>>723602363
Back when pokemon actually had personalised animations..

>>723602585
>implying the gameplay is good
They just ruined the entire battle system. Turned it into some pseudo MMO shit where you wait for moves to "charge" while running around like a retard.

>>723602309
That became this btw

>>723602585
The gameplay is spamming your CDs and avoiding red circles like WoW lol
There's a dodge roll too. For the player not the pokemon. Riveting stuff I know

>>723598727 (OP)
Half-Life 2 did a European city better than this and it came out in 2004

>>723602693
It's just a badly done clone of palworld's combat, because there you character actually has weapons so you are still fighting while waiting for the Monster abilities to charge

>>723602818
They probably couldn't figure out to optimize the asset loading dynamically and said "fuck it just put a texture there", no wonder it runs fine but look like trash

>>723598727 (OP)
You just dont get it. Old games are clearly sovl superior than zoomerslop

>>723599610
Those new megas and trainers aren't going to be modeled, textured, rigged and animated themselves you know, that's were the 80% of the budget went

this is now a pokemon rom hack thread

>>723603681
was their budget $2k or what lmao

>>723599035
This is the first Pokemon game I've bought since Black & White.

>>723603732
According to the leaks, 20M, creatures charge THAT much for their character designs, and it works, game sells becuase of that

>>723603790

Game Freak owns the franchise as much as them and they share assets, you fucking retard. They are no poor little guy getting pushed around. I swear you pokefags are fucking stupid.

Kek

>>723599259
The point of this quip is that devs can’t generally afford to blow hundreds of millions into games and should make smaller projects that aren’t so bloated. The difference is that pokemon is a multi-billion dollar franchise, they on the other hand should easily be spending all of that into making the best games they possibly can because it’s a drop in the bucket, and despite that they cheap out on everything

>>723599035
I haven't played since 5th gen but It kills me to see what the franchise has become. The first games felt like actual adventures and there was a sense of accomplishment in catching and training pokemon. Not to mention the pokemon felt like fantastical creatures and not some unimaginative combination of two animals.

>>723604193
They had to make sure emma got a job somehow

>>723598727 (OP)
Even the 3DS had better graphics...

>>723604414
What's in the leaks is Game Freak refusing to increase budgets, deadlines and not letting other companies help them or work other main titles.

>>723604252
I think that one is on an emulator, but this one does absolutely happen on actual hardware >>723603932
I saw a clip of it happening on a switch 2
I also saw a clip of someone crashing as soon as they threw a Pokeball at a Shiny, which I thought was pretty funny

>>723604431
>pokemon felt like fantastical creatures and not some unimaginative combination of two animals.
are we looking at the same picture?

>>723604431
>not some unimaginative combination of two animals.
on the contrary I greatly prefer this. Paras is just crab+mushroom and that's a good thing. It has an ecological niche that makes sense. It has a natural habitat and you can imagine what unique abilities it might have.
Compare this to the rabbit starter that's a soccer player. What do they do in the wild? Play soccer? What's their habitat? Soccer fields? It's fire type by the way. Why? I dunno. We needed a fire type and the marketing people said boys like fire types and soccer.

>>723604414
Retard. It's 100% GF digging their own grave.

>>723604747
It's insane people needed the leaks to think this. Pokemans is the biggest franchise on the planet, no shit they could do more if they actually wanted to

>>723599445
Actually, it's 450 for the full product (base game + all dlcs)

>>723604530
gamefreak doesn't let anyone else work on it because they are afraid of losing control, and getting pushed out. pokemon is the only thing bringing in the money, everything else is a massive flop. that's why they desperately want to diversify, but the problem is they are such a shit company that they can only put out garbage, which is gonna sell a total of 0 fucking copies without the pokeymans attached to it. unless their offices fucking collapsed overnight, they are forever stuck in the pokemon mines, because that shit quite literally prints money

>>723604908
It was actually from a cartridge

>>723602676
Modern Pokeniggers today would rather bitch about the lengthy animations, claiming that oversimplifying them was an improvement.

>>723605096

This is so obvious just from thinking about it a little bit. Nintendo are many things but they're not stringy, they consistently put the money and time into their major first-party I.P.'s. So no matter how it shakes out, GameFreak are obviously either part of the problem or the whole problem.

>>723605112
>>723605218
The attack animations aren't the problem and I don't think most people would say they are? It's the dozens of little micro-pauses between EVERYTHING, waiting for the text every time (instant text speed is too difficult to implement sorry) and the major bottlenecks (oops you put up a leech seed in weather while poisoned, have fun with your 15+ extra seconds per turn). These problems support my other point btw, this isn't a money problem at all, it's a design and competence problem, these could ALL be solved in a couple of days combined.

>>723605070
Which is all their fucking fault. They have been printing money for almost 30 years now and they still kept their studio small, with a bunch of dinosaurs and some disposable interns who can't do shit. They have one of the worst scores among japanese studios on the japanese glassdoor equivalent, and they all complain that they can't experiment, they force them to use old tech, the internal staff is small and unskilled, they don't bother with futureproofing shit, etc.

If it actually looked like an N64 it would be way more appealing. A game with poor visuals can be tolerated if it looks soulful. Instead its gamefreak's pathetic attempt at making the game look as best as it could.

>>723599035
normalfags don't see pokemon as a video game, and a lot of them don't even play other video games so they have nothing to compare it to and no reason to believe that what they're playing could be better
>>723600193
normalfags are actually the biggest graphics whores, they won't play a 2d game unless it's popular. if pokemon stayed 2d or had a stylized art direction, it would die because muh realism

Palworld won.
Eric won.

>>723605829

>>723606085
what the fuck is even happening here?

This is really conflicting for me because I'm actually really interested in the new real time battle system and want them to feel encouraged to continue with that, but I don't want them to be rewarded with sales for its garbage presentation and graphics and how it only takes place in a boring city.

>>723606272
Game freak just reached the 1990s with this thing called real-time combat, so anon countered this with an ancient technique known as "kiting". Another 20 years and GF should figure out countermeasures.

They were never good to begin with. Just look at how poorly put together the original games were.
It took the transition to 3D for many to realize this, but the brand loyalists continue to cover their ears and scream until the criticism stops even to this day.

>>723598727 (OP)
why are people surprised by this? its always like this. They earn billions of dollars and invest 12. Its fucking based if you ask me. Cattle and goyim should be ripped off

Nintendo loves a good throwback don't they

>>723606282
Just play FFXII. You get the same combat experience but with less colorful Nintendo-brand creatures.

>>723606085
This is why every real time combat rpg ever made status conditions wear off over time without needing to be removed, but Gamefreak missed the memo and left "badly poisoned" in its already broken state lmao

This is a Switch 1 game

I wouldn't even bother that much if the graphics were just bad. But the last 2 games look like they didn't even try. It looks like they are straight up using graphics techniques that devs stopped using literally 20 years ago.

>>723606629
I didnt know. I never played a pokemon game. I didnt know switch still get games

>>723606670
Switch 1 still has like 3 Ninty titles to be released (Metroid, Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Heaven)

>>723606282
Their new battle system is fucking shit.

>>723606642
And if you see the leaked new engine test footage I don't have any hope for their entire switch 2 games they will release.

>>723606642
They're just completely incompetent. The world map is literally 1 model so the game doesn't even cull properly

>>723606085
I was wondering what the point of this was, until I saw poison just chunking the boss down with no further input from the player. This is something that would take like, 5 seconds to figure out surely? As far as I know, the other Legends game doesn't have this issue, I don't know for sure since I don't own it though.

>>723598727 (OP)
Reminds me of GTA 3, but without the gloomy mood.
Glad that Game Freak is one step closer to do 2001 graphics in a 2025 hardware.

>>723606440
At least first gen had an excuse since they were quite literally indie devs with no money at the time.

>>723606115
>gen 3 had a grey effect when too many stats were changed
Interesting, I don't remember this and I nuzlocked Emerald recently. Gen 3 was the absolute worst for battle pacing in general though. I can say with certainty that instant text speed would improve the games massively since I used it on that playthrough and it really helps.

>>723606889
GTA 3 unironically looks better than this. It looks like N64 with Wii tier textures.

>>723606897
I agree, but you'd realistically expect them to have improved since then. Which they haven't. They're just fucking up in different ways compared to what they were before, and unlike before they have 30 years of experience handling the franchise by now. The game being released the way it is, especially when there are contemporaries released on the same system not only earlier than their games but both better looking AND significantly more optimized (Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, etc), is completely inexcusable. If they weren't a partial owner of the Pokemon franchise, I don't doubt Nintendo would have dropped them the instant Gen 2 was released.

>>723606440
Pokemon used to be the "one step forward two steps back" franchise, now it's no steps forward and 100 steps back

>>723606440
NTA but in the early days they at least improved. Sure, in gen 1 they were amateurs, many of which had never made a game before, but in successive generations they showed improvements on a technical level until at least gen 4 or 5.

>>723606962
>Gen 3 was the absolute worst for battle pacing in general though
Gen 4 straight up lags when loading a battle, there's nothing worse than it. Especially D/P (not platinum). Even as a kid I couldn't take it, actually fucking agonizing, especially walking through caves without a repel. All the animations are so slow and look like shit too.

>>723606440
I feel like they were improving in most ways up to the end of gen 5. The 3D games however have been a disaster

>>723607082
>but in successive generations they showed improvements on a technical level until at least gen 4 or 5.
5 was a massive technical leap over 4 even if the way they scaled 2D sprites in the overworld was ugly. Hell, some of the 3D work they did in BW and BW2 looks more visually cohesive and pleasing than what they put out now.

>>723607082
>>723607149
They were getting better, yes. 3D ruined their improvement progress, and the ever increasing sales despite the dip in quality and optimization taught them to stop caring because people will buy it anyway.

>>723598727 (OP)
Prease understand, they spent a lot of money sueing Palworld

BOTW looks far better than Pokemon and it's a huge open world with an in depth physics simulation on top. What's Pokemon's excuse?

I think even Disney Adults would be embarrassed at buying up the slop at this point.

>>723607798
I hope Bandai realizes how much money they're losing by not having Time Stranger on the Switch 2, a lot of people who decided to play it while waiting for ZA got a reality check of just how bad they had it with Pokémon, if it becomes more accessible for Switch owners that would be a huge blow on pokemon

>>723607935
>if it becomes more accessible for Switch owners that would be a huge blow on pokemon
You still don't understand, do you. Pokemon doesn't compete with anything, not even other monster collecting games. People who play Pokemon buy it because it's Pokemon. That's how they can sell 20mi copies with something like OP every 3 or so years.

That's not an excuse. Assassin's creed 1 was made on 15-20 mil budget and it has:
3 big cities
semi open world with few smaller locations
voice acting
mounts
multiple weapon types
smarter ai
actual cutscenes with good animations

>>723608347
The difference is that MKW was a good game to begin with, even if people complained about a lot of stuff, sonic crosswords couldn't even top transformed

Anyway you're wrong. People don't like to admit when they are, but what else can you do when the proof is right there before your eyes than to cover your eyes and ears like you're doing right now, right?
Good luck Anon. Stay retarded.

>>723610309
No effort put into filling out the city. You can see the passion put into games like xenogears where the world was filled in with all sorts of details. Gay Freak did the bare minimum to create the city and shipped the their game. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a rush job because of Palworld.

>>723599035
The issue isn't budget. Game Freak believes they're better as a small studio, and they keep the team small purposefully. The 3D world just won't be polished since it's a small team filled with mostly the same boomers that have been there for 15 years

>>723610558
>>723610371
Also, labelling someone as a corpo worshipper simply because they brought facts to the table is crazy work, son.

>>723599035
>I genuinely don't understand normalfags
Anon, YOU are the normalfag.
Your definition of "more" it's just realism and voice acting and it's obvious because this
>We've seen what GameFreak can produce with an actual budget behind them
Can only refer to that beast of reincarnation shovelware title they're making which looks and sounds awful with the game even dropping a hideous amount of frames in the trailer.
>the entire reason Pokemon is in such a state is because game budgets are ridiculously low.
A higher budget isn't going to make it better, in fact it'll make it worse as they have to now add superfluous features taking away from the actual game itself.

>>723610558
>but also they glanced over the fact that Robowil stated he's a modder himself and knows what he's talking about
I hereby state that I am the modeler that made the city model for GameFreak, and I confirm that its one single giant model that can't be culled.

What's next?
Palfarm humiliating Pokopia?
No way right

>>723604380
>The point of this quip is that devs can’t generally afford to blow hundreds of millions into games and should make smaller projects that aren’t so bloated
The point of it was to mock AAA games. You know, the games that tend to be incredibly short, have the same visual aesthetics and are made by people who are paid more but produce less?

>>723609936
Not fucking collision. Collision is much less detailed than this. Shit in red would be slopes at best.

Okay, but like, you're missing the point here.
You're a random Anon on 4chan.
He is a modder that knows their shit, and if you check his Nexus page has worked with maps.

>>723610558

That is such an ironic statement considering we have access to the game and can quite literally see the models matching up with the image. You're the one who decided to take a random tumblrite's word for it instead just because he added "trust me I'm a fairy" to the end of his post.

>>723610876
>You're a random Anon on 4chan.
No, I'm not, I am GameFreak's modeler, as I have stated and thus that makes me credible.

>>723609936
>>723610359
This retard mentions that "a few meshes appear to be missing". They are props. You can literally see them appearing and disappearing since that and NPCs are the only things the game culls (badly). Notice that the Eiffel Tower is also missing, because it's different model, the only thing actually detailed in the map.

>>723608623
Anon, you know that's a 2d asset, right?

>>723610934
>That is such an ironic statement considering we have access to the game and can quite literally see the models matching up with the image.
You don't understand that there's a chunk of the city the player's in and then there's the chunks connected to it that are loaded at a given time.
The city is never entirely loaded in one go.
Feel free to backup your post with verified information like I did, I'll wait.

Wrong. Again.

I remember being so hyped for the idea of 3D pokemon as a kid, especially something in the vein of pokemon snap where it's first person but instead of being on rails you explore the world and randomly encounter pokemon in the wild

But then it turned out to be ...this

>>723611020
Please delete this! The tumblrite is correct! You will NOT spread this misinformation! Fake news! Fake news! Fake news! Trust GameFreak!

>>723611048
>environmental details displayed via sky ox
Yeah it's a form of optimization and it's pulled off well. If it weren gay freaks the entire map would be a 3d model that would look ugly and lack features outside of flat textures

>>723610873
Also we have footage of collision failing earlier in the thread >>723603932, if the collision was constantly loaded that wouldn't happen.

>>723611020
>You can literally see them appearing and disappearing since that and NPCs are the only things the game culls

>>723611113
Hello, Miyamoto here, that guy is telling the truth.

People are still saying this is Game freak. There is no Game freak anymore. It is almost 100% Nintendo now. Nintendo owns Pokemon, Nintendo owns TPC, and Nintendo owns Game freak. They set the budget for the games, they approve all of the newconcepts, they choose the staff, they pick which pokemon are in the game.

This game supposedly has a 13 million budget. GF has ~200 employees, including non development staff. Let's say 80 worked in this game, since Pokemon is the biggest gaming franchise on the fucking planet, and pay them the average shitty 30k salary that japa gets. That means this game was in development for 4 years.

>>723603932
You know what's funny, this wouldn't be possible if the map didn't use some form of culling
We also haven't seen it happening on real hardware either

>>723611304
No you see, he's clearly the authority here for defending GameFreak, while you are clearly lying and don't actually know anything or have any mods at all, unlike him! Did you know he modded all of Skyrim? You can't prove he didn't!

>>723611286
Nta but you can tell because the game culls it badly as the anon stated.

>>723611350
Ceo probably gets most of it

>>723611350
Nintendo doesn't own GF
Most of the budget would be on marketing though

>>723611350
Gamefreak is a third party developer, the only affiliation they have with Nintendo is being co-owners of the pokemon franchise. In other words, GF set their own budgets, GF approve their new concepts, GF choose the staff, GF pick which pokemon are in the game.

>>723611381
Nigger are you fucking stupid?
Culling smaller assets ahead of you isn't the same as culling the map behind you, were you under the impression that only one was possible at a time?

>>723611304
>>all texture swaps
Wrong again. Love it.
Switch Terrain for Sonic Frontiers is not a texture swap.
Imperial City Ginza for KH3 is very obviously not a texture swap.
Tropical Resort Act 1 is a port of a map from Sonic Colors to Sonic Forces.
Holy hell Anon, even when I give you the source you manage to go full retard. That's very impressive.

>>723611324
Okay Totally-not-a-random-4chan-Anon, I (don't) believe you.

I think it's clear that you guys are either in denial, contrarians or just straight up retarded.

>>723611286
It's not just behind the camera and you can literally fly through the map with cheats as in >>723602818 and you won't see anything ever popping in other than props and NPCs. There are no LODs or anything.

I'm just more knowledgeable than you because I know my shit better than you know what you think you do in this context.

I'm not defending Game Freak so much as I'm proving you lot wrong about your retarded assumption on the map being fully loaded at all times.
I backed up my claims with sources, while you keep saying bs over and over.
It is that simple.

>while you are clearly lying and don't actually know anything or have any mods at all, unlike him!
Well, yes.
Otherwise you would have proven yourself and enter the discussion amicably before it turned into this mess, but you didn't. So yeah.

It's not that, it's just another form of anti-Nintendo shitposting. Pokemon despite still being leagues beyond the other monster tamers on the market is clearly the chink in the armor of the quality game output Nintendo has been on point with since 2017 so they associate the decisions with pokemon to Nintendo.

>>723606272
Trainer poisons Yveltal.
Yyveltal loses health over time due to the poison.
Trainer calls back their Pokémon and runs around until Yveltal faints.
When a Pokémon fants in Z-A they stay around for a couple of seconds.
Trainer chucks a ball at Yveltal and catches it.
The end.

This is an extremely cherrypicked frame of a game everyone who is not playing it is weirdly invested in overhating.

>>723606798
>As far as I know, the other Legends game doesn't have this issue
Because you can't use your pokemon in the real time portions.

>>723611797
Remember the godforsaken leaks.
GF will only ask for help if they really can't do something.
They have a crippling fear of lending Pokemon for development to anyone but DeNa, GF and perhaps, rarely, Nintendo itself. That was why I did not find it surprising when they struck Pocketpair out of nowhere nonstop. Paranoia doesn't even begin to describe the higher ups attitude at TPC.

>>723612212
It has nothing to do with anti-Nintendo. It's just pure Pokefag copium. Game Freak can do no wrong and they are actually being bullied by Creatures/Nintendo/TPC/current boogeyman in their heads.

>>723612335
>That was why I did not find it surprising when they struck Pocketpair out of nowhere nonstop.
They didn't.
It was Nintendo who sued them and it was after Palworld fans forced an investigation by shitposting about it on their official social media.

>>723610873

In all fairness, for a single in-game mesh, it does have a large vertex count. By the sounds of it, it was done to avoid LOD pop-in and having to work with individual meshes. The downside to this is the low polygon look when in the actual game world and the frame rate issues.

>>723612389
>It has nothing to do with anti-Nintendo
Of course it is, why do you think this nonsense only ever happens in relation to Nintendo exclusive products and not the other GF made trash like Tembo, Little Town Hero or that new shitty Reincarnation whatever game?

>>723601892
No, the game runs at 30 fps on Switch 1 and 60 fps on Switch 2, locked, Switch 1 drops to 29 in high stress situations like battles with two megas and a fuckload of particles but is otherwise rock solid 30 (And sometimes jumps to 31 for some strange reason), anyone who is saying the game does not run well is lying.

>>723612403
Again. Remember.
Officially, Nintendo was the one that sued but the leaks revealed that said requests (of possible legal action) come from GF/TPC asking Nintendo's legal to do the work. Which, in theory, also helps TPC avoid direct repercussions if something goes awry, which is unlikely because you know, Nintendo money and then Pokemon money, they will ruin you if you try to make it an endurance (legal) battle.

>>723612551
>Just spend a week on /vp/ mate, there are some this actually deluded that will defend GF like it was their family.
Most of the people defending GF on /vp/ are trolls who have been spamming the board for years doing everything in their power to piss off the board and get (You)s. There are legitimately more genuine defenders on /v/ than there are on /vp/.

>>723612480
In fact, every Pokemon game on the Switch has a locked 30fps framerate with the sole exception of Scarlet and Violet, which drops massively due to memory leak and optimization issues, Let's Go, Sword and Shield, Legends Arceus and Legends ZA all have perfectly acceptable framerates.
I get that the games have issues, but just falling for stupid lies like "bad framerate" just makes the critics seem like rampant psychotic haters who don't even play the games.

>>723598818

Which would make it an anti-Nintendo thing and not an pro-GF thing.

>>723612553
Yes, a small alley, most of the city has a ton of window dressing like trees, grass, shrubery, ivy, light poles, boxes, scaffolding, trash cans, post boxes, ladders, elevators and random npcs and pokemon, it's honestly not underdressed or underpopulated in any way.
Again, falling for abject lies like this, or the one about the fps being bad, or the one about the city being a single model (It's not, the image is the collision mesh, not the actual model) just makes those criticizing the game for otherwise legitimate reasons seem psychotic.

Nintendo adults don't care. Nintendo is their friend and it is their obligation to buy everything it releases even if it's literal dogshit.

Show me the evidence then of all of these hundreds of people experiencing these issues, not just a single blurry video from your shit modded release Switch.

>>723613437
>and oh look it turns out a great deal of those bugs did in fact happen on hardware
Which is funny because we still don't have any evidence of those being possible on real hardware. Not to mention the various glitch compilations contains things that aren't even glitches.

The fact that the other game they are developing looks much better than this should tell you that they are purposely making the games shit. They are trying to figure out how little they need to do to sell a Pokémon game.

>>723598727 (OP)
I can really tell it was made to show off the switch 2

>>723611048
If it looks kino, who cares.

>>723614728
I'm not saying it's going to be a good game but that the fact that they are trying to learn how to use UE5 should tell you something. They used their shitty in house engine for some shitty Pokémon game while they are using a real engine for some game that won't sell shit.

>>723614554
The leaked in development test footage of the next Pokemon game looks better graphically than the complete product of ZA.

Absolutely do not buy it. It is probably the worst thing you can spend $70 on and I promise you you're going to regret it. It's mediocre. Not worth that price.

>>723612662
>rollslop

>>723603932
this is the quality you get when a company saves money by not adding voice acting

>>723614847
And it will end up looking and playing like shit. Legends ZA leaked test images looked good but due to lack of budget they make shit games. They used LOD1 map for the actual map. Usually you have 2 or more LOD maps that you load and unload accordingly. LOD1 is usually the simplest map which you then draw more detailed maps on top of it. For reasons unknown to us Game Freak only kept said LOD1 model of the world.

>>723606282
I played it on emulation and it sucks. You are just spamming moves on cool down.

Soul

>>723606282
Don't worry anon, your decision literally does not matter because the game will sell well.
They have already been rewarded, the real fans are having fun and the people who were never interested in the franchise will continue to seethe.

>>723603932
Actually if you keep falling you end up in a good Digimon Adventure game

How did Digimon win this hard, bros?

>>723614806
Reminds me of FF10

Anyone can win when you refuse to cater to your fans.

Now the real question, can you see her panties?

>>723612105
Nintendo told GF to get SE or Bamco to help after how horrible Scarlet and Violet looked. You know what happened next, GF was like we good. Trust me people at Nintendo know that Pokémon perception by general gamers is shit but because they have a captive audience that buys anything with the Pokémon logo their hands are tied.

>>723599035
Normies buy COD, Battlefield, and Fifa (or whatever Fifa is calling itself now) and bring in billions to companies shitting out awful games. You're basically asking why do kids flock to Logan Paul or MrBeast. They just don't know any better.

How did standards get this low for video games.

>>723613029
People did that as far back as Sword and Shield, they made fake videos of the game crashing and causing a boot error for the console.

It's a clever edit, in multiplayer you can invade cutscenes since they're not prerendered

You could do an MHW and just not allow multiplayer until you do the story but that doesn't really work with an open world game.

I thought I had seen the worst of it. My mind is being blown right now by how insane that screenshot looks.

I wish Pokemon games were good. I don't know why so many fans of the series are happy with the stuff we're getting. They could be so much better if there was any effort put into them.

>>723615903
It's a zoomer thing. They're utterly incapable of thinking about a game as an interactive experience.

It's basically this, but a hundred times worse. They've been beaten so thoroughly over the years that they're grateful as soon as Game Freak bothers to heat up their slop instead of dropping it into the trough cold.

The outrage for this game is extremely forced, it’s really not some scarlet and violet tier trash fire but people are making it seem that way for engagement farming I suppose.

>>723617823
Completely glossing over the fact that it's a video GAME.

And board games are made of cardboard but you don't see anyone bringing up the quality of the board. It's fucking game, if it portrays the gameplay clearly then it's fucking fine, that's how things used to be back in the 80s and 90s, no one gave a shit about what the games looked like hell it went into the early 2000s with games like golden sun looking like liquid ass but it's still considered a fantastic game because of the gameplay.

No. In Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Sword, it flies around. I think it only crawls like this in Pokemon Amie from XY/ORAS.

>>723620113
>everything is Nintendo

The online anti Nintendo/Pokemon negativity is a conspiracy against Japanese game developers by the American government to protect their failing game industry. That's why all the anti nintendo videos get boosted and recommended to everyone.

Why does this game have so many cute girls this time around?

And why the fuck did they hide them all in the trailers?

So obviously the absolute state of Pokemon sucks.
Are there any good Digimon games?

Don't care still buying a Switch 2 and Pokemon Legends Z-A

>>723620305
Probably, but that doesn't change the fact that Gamefreak is incompetent and has been for decades.

I'm still so puzzled by the fact everyone immediately decided that this was going to be the designated fuckmon of Palworld.

>>723604747
It seems like a somewhat complicated issue in some ways. They obviously can do better look at https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001760/Beast_of_Reincarnation/ But aren't they forced to align the games to the anime and merchandise or whatever? I think the time constraints of churning out the [latest title] shit just makes it unrealistic to make proper meaningful improvements. Maybe it might be better if it remained 2D or more stylised.

>>723621095
Or they could just hire more fucking people but they don't and instead they're splitting their manpower between pokemon and stupid shit nobody will remember outside of it being the reason for yet another dearth of staff that compromises pokemon development.

Oh this is why trannies have been seething non stop, they put alt right dog whistles in the game

>>723621161
More people isn't always good, sometimes it's counter productive. It'd also be probably 1000 jeets hired too, being realistic. More time > more people imo.

>there's no abilities
Why? everytime with these fcking legend games.

>>723621095
Anon, we've all seen Beast of Reincarnation and if you think that piece of shit is any good just because it looks realistic you're the reason GF is fucking awful right now.
In any case we know from the leaks that GF aren't beholden to merch and the anime, they can effectively do as they please as everyone else works around them so it's literally all on them.

They're not your friends anon, you don't have to ignore facts just go defend them

>>723611447

>>723621326
It's better than what pokemon looks like which is my entire fucking point you retard. Pokemon would've been better remaining as a 2d or similar game. 3d was a mistake. I'm not defending shit, I'm pointing out one case where everything is tied together looking like shit and playing like shit, vs something where they are doing whatever they want being in improvement.

>>723621403
>It's better than what pokemon looks like which is my entire fucking point you retard.
Yeah, and that's the problem. The trailer had shit pathing, framedrops out the ass and the part with the growing tree path was just fucking awful but no because it looks realistic you're willing to forgive all of this.
Get some fucking standards instead of acting like GF can do no wrong.
>I'm not defending shit,
You are literally, not figuratively, LITERALLY lying about GF lacking autonomy trying to push the blame on to TPC and Nintendo when the entire franchise is beholden to the games and follow that not the other way around.

How do these games look so bad?

>>723621625
>But aren't they forced to align the games to the anime and merchandise or whatever? I think
I guess you can't read. That's not a statement.
