>>58559516
his signature move makes up for this

>>58559526
No it doesn't

Things got worse.

Reusing animations is fine, but everything else? Less excusable.

It's pretty funny how, in the past, people would typically look back on an older gen favorably as more time went on, get nostalgic for mechanics, the region, etc. We have people warming up to XY, ORAS, even some pretty devout Gen 7 fans.
But somehow this has never once happened to Gen 8, not the region, not the Pokemon and definitely not the mechanics. No one was missing Dynamax and no one has asked for it back either, you have more people looking more favorably on Z-Moves, even. And now with Megas back on the table, Dmax is all but forgotten and the best way you can get people to talk about it is trying to bait people into pretending it was good.
Shit's just crazy to see, Gen 8 really and truly was just the fucking worst from every aspect. Maybe they can re-use some of those G-Max designs for megas in the future, I think that's the best legacy Dynamax can leave for the series.

>>58559526
I agree Pyro Ball is fucking amazing

>>58559553
I see a lot of people warming up on Gen 8 on social media and absolutely tearing apart Gen 9

>>58559553
nah you see retards reminiscing about this shit gen now

>>58559460 (OP)
90% of the work here is being done by the lighting and the reason they're allowed to put more into said lighting is because these are tiny areas that are loaded individually.
the reason the wild area and SV look like ass by comparison is that they're not allowed to build the game out of dioramas
it's the exact thing that happened to monster hunter, where the newer games have bigger areas that looking as striking because it's much harder to bake lighting into a big continuous area vs. smaller rooms connected by a series of hallway loading screens even if the graphical fidelity is otherwise turned up

Holy BTFO. Also don't forget how all the character and Pokemon models look like plastic toys and not living creatures

>>58559521

The game really was just Sun and Moon but HD, but in the UK and also much worse

Z tier bait

>>58559460 (OP)
you cherry-picked the small handful of setpiece locations they bothered putting some effort into. 99% of the game doesn’t look like that. fucking idiot

>>58559567
One of the best animated signature moves, to bad it got nerfrd animation wise in Gen 9, same for almost all the moves

>>58559690
>battles
>multiple entire towns
>small setpiece location

>>58559460 (OP)
You listened to the YouTube griftsphere. You know better now.

>>58559709
>multiple entire hallways
FTFY

>>58559709
Anyone can make dioramas and hallways pretty, it's making a full game look good that's the hard part and Game Freak failed by making the Wild Area in the first place since you're not going to be spending any time in those empty ass dioramas and hallways

>>58559721
This thread isn’t about Unova.

>>58559460 (OP)
And every game since has been looking shittier and shittier, only Game Freak can go backwards like that

>>58559726
>BUT UNOVA
like clockwork

>>58559723
>Anyone can make dioramas and hallways pretty,
Good thing they made all the towns and all the battles look pretty then, huh?

>>58559460 (OP)
You were told the truth. That shit is soulless.

>>58559735
>Areas you won't return to

Also battles aren't pretty at all as long as Shitamax is the focus

>>58559830
? But I do return to them.

>Also battles aren't pretty at all
? But they are pretty

>>58559553
Give it time

we really don't appreciate how much the pathing and animations have improved since this moment in pokemon's history
on one hand, i love swsh's gorgeous celshaded + outlined artstyle with vibrant colors, but on the other, they're easily the most rushed games ever
the rest of gen 8 wasn't any good either
bdsp were awful demakes that only had a handful of qol features
la was an obvious rushed tech demo
i find it funny that some guy here got digits saying gen 8 would be the worst gen, and he was 100% right
the franchise actually started improving after that shitshow
sv were fun even if the artstyle was awful
and lza is the best pokemon game to date

>>58559553
honestly that's what i was hoping to see happen, but given the leaks, it seems like they are gonna bring back that gimmick for legends galar and the cultist bootlicker fans are gonna pretend they always liked the feature even though no one has talked about it for years

>>58559660
>5 years of this shit
at least they’ve got something to look forward to in their life, I guess

>>58559553
The games are only 7 years old, give the kids who played it time to get a little older and I’m sure there’ll be a lot of Galar defenders.

>>58559553
>We have people warming up to XY, ORAS, even some pretty devout Gen 7 fans.
But somehow this has never once happened to Gen 8
The older fanbase is not warming up, it's just that the kids who grew up with the 3DS era are old enough to post and to defend their childhood games. It's the same thing with other franchises.The ones who started with the Switch era are not old enough but don't worry they will also defend BDSP and SV's glitches.
The same thing happened with Gen 5 who was hated back in the day. It always had its defenders, myself included, but it is very obvious that the majority of them nowadays are people who started the series with BW. You even have people who claimed they always loved Ashnime!Iris and the BW anime, it's obviously not older fans.

>>58560006
la were a step in the right direction
sv were a step back. a rushed shitshow like swsh but in different ways
za are again a step in the right direction
so far we can only really count on the legends series since they seem to have an entirely different development approach

>>58560006
SwSh isn't celshaded, it's literally just a generic anime artstyle

>>58559511
i'll give you everything else but fuck you i like blipbug >:(
