Why do Pokemon games keep getting uglier?

>>58029167 (OP)
thats just sv za artstyle

>>58029167 (OP)
she literally looks the same as the artwork thought
Lewtwo is a retard

All their effort visually is with that non-pokemon game they're making right now.

>>58029167 (OP)
the artstyle shift to their SV-style western/eastern hybrid combined with GF being very bad at graphics

>>58029167 (OP)
Pokemon has always been global. But man ever since like kalos shit has been downhill desifn wise.

>>58029167 (OP)
And yet he's going to buy it anyway

because they want be the less anime and unappealing possible for people stop drawing porn of their characters

>>58029277
Alola’s character designs were nice and looked both cute and true to the art ingame. I have no idea what is going on with Paldea and this shit now, it’s all so ugly and the lighting/textures are abysmal.

>e-celeb xitter screencap thread
Why do 4chan threads keep getting more retarded?

>>58029167 (OP)
She looks fine. This eceleb's a retard

>>58029354
Are you talking about the gen where only the pedo trio and Lusamine are relevant and everyone else flopped hard?

>>58029406
still more relevant than past gen in sinnoh only dawn and cynthia are relevant the rest are literally who or johgto none is relevant, in fact most nu design get more attention than old characters

>>58029277
>like kalos
Weird way to say unova. You know, the first game not set in Japan

>>58029167 (OP)
its a unity game for cellphones based on the ugliest pokemon game on the switch made by a 3rd party so it's not surprising it's garbage

>>58029277
her design is fine, its the shitty artstyle in 3d they are using

>>58029167 (OP)
As long as they keep using the sugimori style it will always look ugly, sugimori style doesn't look good in 3D,

>>58029167 (OP)
Oh God Gen 10 designs are going to be so bad......

>>58029167 (OP)
I miss Pre Gen 9 designs

>>58029516
human characters all looked fine to me in swosh

>>58029167 (OP)
It looks literally the same except in 3D?? Is he retarded?

>>58029598
he just hates mobile games he is not wrong

>>58029444
now type that without crying

>>58029167 (OP)
Dunno what you're talking about. It kinda reminds me of PBR and I like it

I really hope they move away from SV shit artstyle and come back to SWSH one

>>58029167 (OP)
Jesus Christ.....I was somewhat hyped for this game too, but after learning more about it fuck game freak

>>58030163
Yeah beautiful SWSH artstyle

>>58029167 (OP)
I was raised in the PS2 so I don't mind if the 3D faces look off compared to official artwork.
I just hope there is some customization. Those clothes are ugly

>>58029167 (OP)
The only porn she's got is the one Boris did.

>>58029167 (OP)
Scarlet and Violet character design was a fucking mistake

>>58029167 (OP)
swsh were the last games with good art direction
>inb4 literal retards who don't know the difference between artstyle and m-muh gwaphigs

>>58030176
retard

>>58030206
Surely Gen 10 won't use it........right?!?

>>58030232
>>58030237
SWSH never had good art direction, literally nugen pokesloppa with 10 different colors in one character and bright as a neon sign

no wonder zoomers like it so much

>>58029167 (OP)
Gen 9 characters are so ugly and uncanny lol

>>58029167 (OP)
i do not like the art style they use on the humans
the mouths... the noses... the skin textures... the eyes
everything just feels wrong

>>58029444
Retard, Kalos was when it went 3D.

>>58029167 (OP)

>>58030277
Gen 8 was the period where the 2D art was real shite compared to ingame
I guess whoever did the ORAS art too, May looked anorexic but ingame was just fine

She always looked ugly.

Weebfaggots still seething at the artstyle

>>58029167 (OP)
SVface is so ugly
Didn't PLA just took USUM's base and made it 50x better than SwSh did?

Candice? Cheryl? Maylene? Gardenia? Mars? Marley?

>or johgto none is relevant
Whitney? Jasmine? Claire????

Old games had better designs overall, if anything they were more cohesive. Sadly we can't compare their popularity at release, we can't know how well they'd have performed today upon announcement in an era where everyone is chronically online voting, writing and making art.

>>58029167 (OP)
When I saw her I thought something was wrong with my screen, and then the video quality seemed to fix itself for a second but it still looked awful. This thread made me realize that the video DID fix the quality while it was focusing on her face and I just didn't realize it because it looks that bad.

>>58029268
Bitch of Retardation runs like shit and going to be a min-effort job, they've learned from Little Town Zero that they are eternally enslaved to the Pokemon cashcow and anything else is wasted effort.

I cannot wait for gen 9 and its art style to be over

>>58029277
Because X and Y was where Sugimori stopped being the primary art director, only doing Pokémon designs, and continuing to do less with the subsequent games.

>>58031543
>zoomers actually think the internet started around the 2010s.
LMAO. Also, Jothonians constantly get alt in Masters, what's the excuse now for being flops?

>>58029167 (OP)
It's really amazing how incompetent the art direction of the company is. You can tell that the 2D art direction and 3D art direction are completely different when they should be the same department

>>58029167 (OP)
She looks so ugly in the SV style, I was hoping the characters would look like SwSh or at least like ZA, but they went for an even lazier approach.

If you don't like the style of the current era of games just hope another Yo-Kai Watch situation comes along to shake up the status quo

>>58031811
Praying the Digimon game is good, I actually like the anime like style of the characters in 3d in that game

on top of that you clearly know that things can be visually appealing or off putting while having nothing to do with sex. Go back to plebbit with your pearl clutching.

>MUH TREE FROM THE OPEN AREA THAT'S BIGGER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE GAME ASIDE FROM THE DLC OPEN AREAS
Shut the fuck up.

>>58030163
everytime anyones, talk about SWSH's "good graphics" is just this one image

>>58030342
kek

>>58029167 (OP)
GF seem to have this mentality that they always need to chase whatever is more modern and popular with young kids with even though it negatively impacts the consistency of their brand identity and most people including kids prefer the older character and pokemon designs

>>58029167 (OP)
I missed the long eyes from Ken Sugimori artstyle so much. Why did they need to change it in SV?

gamefreak is still pushing that half anime half western aesthetic in gen 9 for some dumb reason

>>58032143
>Ken Sugimori artstyle
He is literally the one responsible for making the eyes like that anon. Artists change their style over time.

>>58032143
I prefer more cartoony/anime rather than realistic anime. SWSH at least had that correct.

>>58032149
bruh that wasn't made by sugimori

>>58032143
They wanted the GO audience for the nth time so they made a hybrid of GO's style and standard Pokemon's style.

>>58030176
It may be an ugly tree. But it's MY ugly tree.

>>58029167 (OP)
subhuman westoids insisting videogame characters look as ugly as they do

>>58029167 (OP)
DEI

Pedophiles when the child pokemon character isn't sexualized enough: >>58032425

>>58032432
Daring today, aren't we? What's next, an observation about how Pokemon fans want to fuck the cartoon dogs?

>>58032156
retard it waz him keep coping

>>58032143
that's his new style apparently
https://x.com/SUPER_32X/media

>>58032143
God I miss SwSh's artstyle, they should of just kept going with that

>>58029167 (OP)
Children really shouldn’t be allowed on the internet

>>58029167 (OP)
the game needs to run on phones so I imagine that impacted how it looked

>>58032026
That anon is right , SWSH looked like garbage outside of the zero exploration unmemorable hallways (all the region)

>>58029167 (OP)
I really REALLY hate how modern Pokemon has leaned into making character outfits into sport attire.

>>58032757
that only happened in swsh, and bw2 only the protagonist

>>58031543
>Candice? Cheryl? Maylene? Gardenia? Mars? Marley?


Literally who? Even when DP released, no one cared about these characters. Sinnoh has Dawn, and Cynthia. That’s it.

>>58029167 (OP)
What, did he skip XY? Ban eceleb threads btw

>jewtwo

>>58029167 (OP)
She literally looks like the artwork. The argument from this dumb e-celeb is that the children isn't sexy enough.

>>58032959
she looks worse, the 3d model looks so lifeless and stiff, this literally gamefreak doing the bare minimun

>>58029167 (OP)
Looks super souless now, all that charm from Gen. 1 slowly gone over the years, I'd say Gen 4 (Or halfway trough gen 3) is when the human designs started to get a bit more generic and when the "watercolor" aesthetic started to go away.

>>58032143
>right: Pokémon character
>left: "I'm Florian from Scarlet and Violet, and you're watching The Disney Channel." (Or Juliana, it's hard to tell.)

>>58029167 (OP)
looks like someone first time using Blender, terrible shadows, terrible expression no art direction

even gachas are are doing better

>>58033925
>even gachas
Gachas are literally ALL about presentation. That's how they make money.

Gen 9 was a mistake

>>58029167 (OP)
I don't think it looks so bad. It's just the SV pixar-lite artstyle that's making it look off compared to the art. But if it was in the SwSh artstyle it would look good. Only good thing about SwSh compared to SV desu

>>58029167 (OP)
because you keep buying it anyway

>>58029384
a smart person wouldn't be on /vp/

>>58029167 (OP)
Because for some reason these dumbfucks running Pokemon ditched one of the VERY FEW GOOD things about Gen 8 which was their human designs.
Of all things to leave behind why leave behind one of the actually only aesthetically pleasing things from SwSh? There used to be constant jokes about how the only high quality models and animations were the human models in SwSh, and now we only sort of get animated humans but FAR UGLIER models.

>>58029167 (OP)
Literally makes more sense than the artwork
Also I think that they fixed the guy, he was horrible before

>>58029167 (OP)
Wait until it's out. The trainer models have been looking pretty shoddy in trailers lately. I remember BDSP's trainer models looking way worse in trailers, same with SV too.

I hate SV so much

>>58032439
Nta, but furfaggots are subhuman

Reminder that this style is popular in Japan. Stop blaming the West.

>>58037036
this just highlight how crap Pokemon looks even more, all the other look miles better

>>58037047
Damn, a video game can't look as good as a movie? Who would've thought?

>>58029167 (OP)
>Why do Pokemon games keep getting uglier?
Americans

>>58037051
you couldn't even find a non pixelated image from SV

>>58037078
The quality drop between film and game here is still extremely noticeable. Try as you might, you have to understand that games can't afford the same level of pure fidelity that movies get.

>>58037092
cope harder, Pokemon looking like garbage has nothing to do with the art style

just look at the back ground on your own example

>>58033981
That and the wank characters

>>58037137
That counts as presentation yeah.

>>58037078
You can't use Nomura's work as an example. That's just unfair to everyone.

>>58029167 (OP)
shes cute
what is the problem?
>skin tight black leather grippy pants stretched over her little bubble butt
>glasses, elesa vibes
i would kiss her all over
my ex had those same pants so i may be biased

>>58037126
Pokemon could look like Genshin Impact and you will still bitch about the graphics.

>>58029167 (OP)
It's he shitty SV human model artstyle pandering to westoid style, Pokemas at least didn't convert every trainer into this hideous style. At least it's not PoGO garbage tier.
>>58037036
Example given, terrible artstyle wanting the western audience or just copying Disney Pixar and French cartoons.
If Lupin III ever looked cool and interesting it was thanks to the 2D manga artstyle.
That DQ movie poster looks like Frozen x Dragon Trainer with Elsa and shit.

>>58037370
>Doraemon
>wanting the western audience
You're retarded.

becauze its easy for gamefreak, they are so lazy

>>58035611
Gen 8's characters were ugly.

>>58037471
It's still broadcasted here, been like that for decades, despite it being very Japan daily life and habits themed.
Also no need to be tryhard looking for an exception since I didn't even list it.
Nips are probably seething Disney Pixar and stuff like Cat Noir and Miraculous Ladybug keep being popular over Ghibli & co and the freshest Japanese animu show.

Picrel is going to be your Gen 10.

because they keep hiring this crap artist

what do you think?

>>58033925
japantroons nerver couldn't, thats why china and korean are winning

>>58033925
at least they're not going back to 3ds-tier textures like in masters
you gotta keep your expectations low with this cursed franchise lmfao

shiny leggings sexo

>>58029167 (OP)
Removing the outlines on the models was a mistake

>>58037924
I remember everyone going crazy for the no-outlines HD filters in XY/SM, it always looked like shit

>>58029167 (OP)
the fucking same energy

>>58032741
Yeah, they can't make them look like the 2D artworks because it needs to run on phones ... That's definitely the issue ...

>>58037990
>look like the 2D artworks
Fine for masters but in champions' case it would make the model look even worse since the art is poo

>>58029167 (OP)
people keep buying them
which means they like the cheap 3d artstyle

>>58031988
sailor moon had sexy girls
just saying

>>58032741
>the game needs to run on phones
what is so especial about it for to look like that?

>>58037924
God I fucking miss SwSh's anime like artstyle with the models

>>58038259
They hate buy it like Vince Era WWE.

>>58032149
>posts a pic with SWSH eyes

>>58037635
>It's still broadcasted here
Fucking where?

>>58038694
You are blind.

>>58037990
Master's models are garbage thought, they literally copypaste more than gamefreak

>>58031543
Whitney is the only one remembered from those among your list btw.

>>58037924
Not really, many mods and cheats to remove it are sought after for a reason. The problem is GF chasing realism.

>>58029167 (OP)
>it's not sexualized therefore it's ugly
Retard

>>58040459
it's just ugly in general

>>58040457
>are sought after for a reason
the fanbase being made up of retards?

>>58040469
Just like you

>>58040459
no it is ugly because it is just ugly, look at >>58033925 non sexual and 100 times better looking than anything pokemon has ever done

>>58040506
Game Freak won't fuck you anon

>>58040502
The games are primarily for kids, so autistic is the "proper word".

>>58040626
>non sexual
her tits jiggle 8 times in a 12 second clip

>>58040768
>watch the clip
>0 jiggling
>breasts hidden for most of the scene
lol

>>58040791
next time try watching the clip with your eyes open

not even worth a (you)

>>58032143
Long eyes can rest in piss.
