The charater models are fine but the environment, buildings look like a ps2 game.

I hope this is still early in development. You can't have a game set exclusively in a city where buildings look like that.

Judging by the last Pokemon game, this is probably close to how it's going to look. On the bright side, it will probably look a whole lot better on the Switch 2.

I dream of this battle system years ago after playing Tales of Berseria, hopefully it won't disappoint. They also extend the battle system to go beyond 1v1 or 2v2 huh, you can 1v3 wild poke. Now i do wonder what will happen to their mainline, people definitely gonna want more of this than the traditional pokemon battle.

Don't know if I'd say "people" want more of this. Me, a nearly middle aged adult does, but the traditional battle system is more than enough for their primary audience who are children.

I don't think the mainline games will change anytime soon, just like they didn't adopt the battle styles of the last Legends game.

Like, don't get me wrong, I think the idea they are going for is good. But I also think it does look really clunky and would kill the PvP scene.

Personally, I'd go for a turn based and position based approach like Like a Dragon or Dragon Quest are experimenting with.

I’m cautiously optimistic for this one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Very, very cautiously. It looks better than previous games on Switch, but still not good. On the other hand: maybe they are showing this footage from a Switch 2.

I enjoyed Legends Arceus despite its performance issues. Looks like they fleshed out a lot of what made Arceus fun so I’m optimistic. Also very interested to see what they do with the alt starter third evos. Loved Totodile back in Silver so I think I already know which one I’ll go with.

Arceus ran like butter compared to ScarVio D:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah those games were unplayable trash imo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Full agree. My partner wanted to preorder the two pack so we did. I played for like… ten minutes and said “fuck this” hahaha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I had an extra voucher so I used it on violet. Near instant regret.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Aww maaan. I used to have a couple games I vowed to preorder: Monster Hunter, Pokémon, and Diablo (once I heard about D3.)

We’re down to only Monster Hunter now. MH still has never fucked me! I’m excited for the new game tomorrow.

The style of the world and the Pokémon/character doesn't mesh well.

Why go for detailed realism if simple cartoon would be a better choice?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

detailed realism

Did we watch different trailers? lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not saying they archived it. Just that they go in that direction.

Edit: I am talking about the textures for stone walls and the likes.
