3D was a mistake
2D is the way
come home anons
soon
Not bad, Shame it's not by gamefeak and despite the shitty backgrounds and world scapes 3D was gods gift to gaming and has yet to be topped, Not my problem gamefreak can't do it.
>>56831675>3D was a mistakeIt wouldn't have been if GF weren't so fucking dogshit at it
>>56831675>>56831679>>56831681>>56831694nice fanart with no working games behind them
>>56831785Triangle 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>>56831679This 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.
>>56831675>>56831679>>56831681>>568316943D still looks better than any of this dogshit.
3d > 2d
>Muh 2D >Muh 3D Who cares? they're both trash and you're a shill for defending them this is a stealthy genwar thread btw
>>56831679>Souless >>56831675>SoulThis is a great example of how important a good color pallet is.
>>56832126That's 2.5D not 3D.
>>56832174That’s 3D not 2.5D.
Kys 3d is good is just Pokemon and gf sucks, palworld yw digimon ca monhun stories mogged Pokemon so hard in 3d
>>56832203Parroting is an admission of defeat.
>>56832126That isn't 3D, that is 2D in 3D perspective. The NDS could not display both 3D and 2D on the same screen.
2d>3d
poketurds saying 2d good because thy dont other games lmao pathetic creatures
>>56834224*they dont play
I have played other games and they're all shit!
>>56831675Not 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.
>>56834305>3D world environments with 2D characters.So the DS games?
>>56831675>>56831679>>56831681>>56831694You got these from the /v/ thread, stay there.None of these are from an actually finished video game.They only exist to jerk you off to muh graphix n artstylez
>>56834326Yes, 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>flat low-res sprites in a fully 3D worldThis looks like dogshit and has zero art consistency
>>56834351>Yes, but less shit.so the DS games
>>56834362I mean it's not ideal, but it's less bad than how the transition went back in Gen 6.>>56834373Well, 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.
>>56834351This is hideous
>>56834394>but it's less bad it really, really, isn’t
>>56834556If 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.
>>56832728The entirety of the DS Pokemon games are in 3D. What are you talking about?
>>56834362You 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
>>56834618Did 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.
>>56831675GBC Pokemon did not have that much detail, lol
>>56832728You 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
>>56832174Flat-shaded polygon graphics using pixel art textures are still 3D graphics. The only 2D element are the character sprites.
>>56834305Square-Enix owns the trademark on HD2D https://www.resetera.com/threads/hd-2d-octopath-travelers-art-style-trademarked-by-square-enix.94869/
>>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.
>>56834351>Yes, but less shitGens 4/5 look better than the crap you posted.
>>56835068Trademarks only prevent the usage of a word. They don't have a patent on anything here. Just call it HQ-2D or 2.5D.
>>56831675>>56831679>>56831681>>56831694Kids don't like this. Sorry zoomenial, but there's a reason BDSP looks and sold the way it did.
>>568316752d looks like THAT?
>>56832152>"high detail" eye cancer graphics is better than nice and simplestop posting these pathetic comparisons
For me, the pokemon ranger series had peak art design and concept
>>56836926>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.
Why not like this?
>>56838260Because it looks like trash?
>>56834981>”Did I say I lowered my standards?”>proceeds to write a paragraph explaining how you lowered your standards
>>56838375>gets angry when called out>can't form an argumentYou just might have brain damage, stick to your 2D trash.
>>56831679>>56831681Edelweiss blows GSC out of the water.
>>56832152everything on the right would have made for a disgusting Gen III artstyle
>>56838260Octopath Dazzler's is way too dramatic and sappy for Pokemon. I'd go as far to call it emo.
>>56838177sure it would have, Pokesmark
>>56838260Its bad
>>56831679Huh rly neat.
>>56831992>t. person who never has drawn or sprited
>>56831675This looks like a thread I could have made.Nice.
>>56831992>the next style shift should have been low quality gbc GEN TWUUUUU JUHTOOO nostalgia shit pixelsNo. It shouldn't been better refinement of Gen V's style.
>>56831675Nostalgia retards are literally delusional lmao
>>56841466yuck
There is no inherent best option, both 3d and 2d can be gorgeous if done by a competent studio with a clear artistic visionIf switch games looked and felt like picrel nobody would complain about 3dLikewise, a good 2d game can be simple yet stunning
>>56841580And yes, I am aware the pic is a drawing not a model, my point is how switch games have an utterly underwhelming artistic direction
>>56841466>flower shop has flowers outside. Woah, calm it with the enhanced graphics, Crystal-Shill Anon
>>56841580>following shitmonOverrated trash. Keep your mon in his ball.
>>56841580What the fuck is that blue bar? Pp? Stamina?Why the dialog tho? Weavile should be able to One-shot that cold bitch
>>56831675gamefreak never did good 2d btwthe guys who made ranger did much better
>>56835093This, so much thisAlso see >>56840635Gamefreak's pixel art is not as good as you may think
>>56841812Obviously exp you fucking retardYou were so set on to shit on my image no matter what that you didn't think for 30 fucking secondsLiterally every pokemon game has a blue exp bar right below the health one
>>56841884Let me tell you: what a shitty way to make an exp (and HP) barThe 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
>>56831675>Just make the screen more messyNo thank you
>>56841595A fan remake of GSC like this would be the greatest pokémon game of all times
>>56841978Go play RBY then
>>56841633Ok, Ghetsis
>>56838260>>56838260>>56838260Octopath Pokémon would look awful
>>56841988>walk into map>morty, clair, eusine, legendary dogs, and lugia all show up at the same timefor what purposebut this guy blows edelweiss out of the water yes
>>56842616>walk into map>morty, clair, eusine, legendary dogs, and lugia all show up at the same time??? Wtf are you smoking anon
