Triangle strategy proves you can have a gorgeous 2d-3d game. But pokemon has gone too far. They can only work to get better, but they won't
>>
>>56831675
>>56831679
This should've been the next style shift, not 3D. More efficient than needing to make several 3D animations for hundreds of pokemon. 3D has proven to be a logistical nightmare as they are forced to compromise far more than they would if they had just stuck to 2D.

That isn't 3D, that is 2D in 3D perspective. The NDS could not display both 3D and 2D on the same screen.

>>
>>56831675
Not necessarily. I think what Pokémon should've done is what Dragon Quest did: 3D world environments with 2D characters. Unfortunately GF has already proven to be incapable of making good looking games when 3D is involved, but that'd have been the middle ground they needed to maybe in 10 years time make a proper transition to 3D.

Yes, but less shit. They should've gone from fully 2D to 3D2D to better 3D2D and only after they got a good grip on things would they fully transition into 3D. IF they had any competency, which we know isn't and wasn't the case.
>>
>>56834351

This looks like dogshit and has zero art consistency
>>

so the DS games
>>
>>56834362
I mean it's not ideal, but it's less bad than how the transition went back in Gen 6.

>>56834373
Well, that would hopefully be on a more powerful system (like the 3DS and maybe even reach the Switch) and they wouldn't have to change everything at once, giving them extra wiggle room to work on the new 3D tech while salvaging some of the 2D they were more used to for a smoother, more gradual transition.

>but it's less bad
it really, really, isn’t
>>
>>56834556
If you think so then we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't mind the 3D, I mind GF being shit at it.
>>
>>56832728
The entirety of the DS Pokemon games are in 3D. What are you talking about?
>>
>>56834362
You should see the Star Ocean remakes. everything looks filtered to disguise how disjointed the aspects of the presentation are from one another.
>>
>>56834569
>but it’s ok when they’re shit at 2D because I magically lower my standards for childhood slop
>>
>>56834618
Did I say I lowered my standards? Obviously their 2D art has never been fantastic, but it was charming at first and the entire game was relatively simple, inoffensive. They started to gradually get more ambitious while recycling the same more and more unoriginal format *and* with their graphical capabilities not keeping pace with the scale, so what used to be easier to tolerate became more and more glaringly lacking.
>>
>>56831675
GBC Pokemon did not have that much detail, lol
>>
>>56832728
You got some bad information, pal.
It's more that 3D was best relegated to one screen while the other was for a simple graphics like a subscreen. It was a choice, not a limitation
>>
>>56832174
Flat-shaded polygon graphics using pixel art textures are still 3D graphics. The only 2D element are the character sprites.

>>56834305
>Unfortunately GF has already proven to be incapable of making good looking games when 3D is involved,

Their 2D games weren't exactly standing citizens of the 8 or 16 bit era either and Pokemon was grossly simplified in their hands. Even games done by other developers like HAL for Ranger were better examples of what Game Freak could've done on the DS but they didn't.

I think people like you need to stop putting Game Freak's 2D days on a pedestal when even the best examples of what they've done like Jerry Boy 2 were middling at best.

Gens 4/5 look better than the crap you posted.

Trademarks only prevent the usage of a word. They don't have a patent on anything here. Just call it HQ-2D or 2.5D.

For me, the pokemon ranger series had peak art design and concept

>there's a reason BDSP looks and sold the way it did.
What, like shit? Because it barely sold better than the game that released months after in the worst fucking time possible to sell anything. To put that into perspective, BDSP functionally wasted the highest sales period of the year in comparison. If it released in Fuck You It's January it would have sold like complete dogshit and been an embarrassment by Pokemon standards, easily would have been the worst selling Switch title.

There is no inherent best option, both 3d and 2d can be gorgeous if done by a competent studio with a clear artistic vision
If switch games looked and felt like picrel nobody would complain about 3d

Likewise, a good 2d game can be simple yet stunning
>>
>>56841580
And yes, I am aware the pic is a drawing not a model, my point is how switch games have an utterly underwhelming artistic direction

Literally every pokemon game has a blue exp bar right below the health one

Let me tell you: what a shitty way to make an exp (and HP) bar
The idea of the image is good but in the attempt to make it feel like a "game" it only achieved being a false imitation of one
