i love how shit like Mario, Kirby and Zelda games always updates their graphics and style in new games on the Switch but for some reason the new Pokemon games just look like third partys 3ds games to me
honestly i couldn’t put it down, i was having a great time. but idk i do have a very personal attachment to pokemon and its formula so maybe my fun is specific to just me.
it definitely is! i’m not the guy to ask about graphics quality (i play skyrim constantly so yknow) but it has a lot of personality and plenty to do, and the final boss fight was actually pretty exciting.
Yeah, and I still don't know why people praise Scarlet and Violet when they have graphics about on par with Sonic '06, right down to the boring looking NPC designs and environments. 😅
The actual level design of the map is really good and a stand out , love the story and characters, the exploration of an open world just fits pokemon well in general
Also Sonic 06 looked good for the standards of early 360 lol, graphics was not the issue with that game when released
Yeah it did look good for 2006, Okami is a completely different beast due to how it's styalized, 06 genuinely does look good for when it came out, animations being bad has nothing to do with the actual visuals, specially with how good areas like Crisis city look
SUN AND MOON ARE THE HIGHEST QUALITY POKEMON GAMES I'VE EVER SEEN
Sun and Moon were the most "RPG" the series has ever been and it's not even close, the world building and story was their best ever, yes even better than BW/BW2, FITE ME
And even if it's graphics are... well, Pokémon, I'll at least give it leeway for being a 3DS game (and most games on that console aren't of the best quality in my opinion).
Meanwhile, what was Pokémon Sword and Shield's excuse with it being on the Switch yet it still looks like a beta test?
I'm a Sun and Moon hater but it just is very specifically not for me, like I'd say it's less a bad game (XY) and more the game where the franchise left me behind.
That's totally fair. I just really vibed with everything it had. Tropical setting, some pretty big mix-ups like totems instead of gyms, Z-moves, team skull, UBs, the start of no HMs, some of the BEST pokémon designs I've seen to this day, all wrapped up with a decent story.
I get that tbh, for me I just love the exploration aspect of Pokemon and it felt like that was going away, from how hard you're ferried through the region to how many places you look at but dont explore.
I remember looking at the map prerelease and was still thinking that every location on a pokemon map corresponded to a place you could visit, and so was convinced we got a golf minigame and was hyped as hell. Still salty about that to this day
Pokémon games aren't shovelware, they are leftoversware, the leftovers of what it could've become with more time and less restrictions but out of stubborness they simply won't do it...

at this point I just stick with finding mods of my favorite pokemon to put in entirely separate games.
Graphics wise? ....well-

Really? I've seen better-looking games back in 2006.

tho I defend SwSh as the perfect "beginner" game for fans new to the series.
and in hindsight, the artstyle and visuals are cleaner than SV's odd rendering
SV's gameplay is what kept me playing tho. I say that as I have 3 boxes full of Shinies...that I found by accident!
