These looked like shit. I hope they go back to the Gen 6-8 style for Pokemon. SV’s textures and shading were so low quality and the Pokemon looked smeared in feces as a result.

Gen 10 is reinventing the visual wheel yet again in order to justify another dexcut. Otherwise they have zero excuse for why all 700+ Pokemon and forms from SV aren't immediately available in Gen 10.

>>58198772
SV did bring new textures and animations to the table but Galar was just SM with a tweaked shader, they don't need no excuse

Believe it or not, SWSH used new textures too, and imports from previous games stuck out like sore thumbs when modded in.

The grey color looks different, just look at magnamite
>>58198614

>>58198772
I doubt it, keep in mind they reused the XY models for almost 10 years and they're still being used today in the mobile games
>>
The SV textures kind of went overboard in parts, but the art style made every thing look worse
>>
sv textures were a mixed bag, but overall id say ditching them was for the better
when they looked good, they looked pretty damn good
but when they looked bad, they looked REALLY bad
>>
>>58198614
>>58198642
Muh realistic detailed textures don't make up for the utter ugliness of SV graphics
I'd rather have anime graphics looking like Genshin Impact (with cell-shaded pokemon textures like in SwoShi) than the complete pseudo-pixar garbage that was SV
>>

This is the true patrician opinion
>>
>>58198620
even shiny scizor looks alright
>>
>>58198614

Fuck no, the only pokemon that looked good were those with metal parts.
Pokemon needs to stay anime/cartoon and stop with trying to look realistic, it doesn't work for Pokemon.

Left looks better in all examples. Pokémon Legends Arceus nailed the characters and the Pokémon, it only needed a bit more work on the environment.

Anyway, it looks way more cohesive than what came after (Snap, Detective Pikachu, SV, and now Z-A).

The new character models are UGLY. If you check the artwork for the TCG you can see the designs can still somewhat work, but the models are hideous. Doesn't help that there is absolutely no art direction and you have a mishmash of styles (just see how the eyes are done in different characters)

But Pokémon? They definitely look better in cel-shading. "Realistic" fur and sit like that with some cartooney eyes is out of place

Man I hope they at least keep the bubble textures AND fixed colors from SV Greninja because it was fucking weird how slick and cool his blue looked in the anime and specially the Sugimori art only for the game model to be light blue instead

It's a monkey when compared to anime Steelix.
I miss alpha Steelix.
>>
>>58198893
I think it was mostly when they put realistic hair textures over a more stylistic depiction of hair when it looked really bad. Think like the squared hair tufts on ursarings shoulders. I think xy/sm looked better than sword and shield too with the outlines and more anime like cell shading.

I really have no idea why they fucked up Greninja's XY model like that. Ash-Greninja's skin changes to match XY Ash's clothes sure, but base Greninja's skin color is supposed to be more like CALEM's clothes, but nope the 3d model doesn't agree for some reason

Pokemon's always been based in realism, wasn't it inspired by the creator catching bugs in the forest?
The "realistic" textures look nice I think, stuff like serpent Pokemon having scales makes them feel more like creatures you tame and befriend instead of just characters

Apples and oranges. Different toppings change the taste and structure, a 3d model isn't edible not does it have "toppings", it's a digital 2D projection of a pseudo-3D object.
