I'm really not a fan of how the last few pokemon games look, so much so im not buying legends Z-A which is the first time not buying a mainline pokemon game since ive gotten into the franchise

There's clearly a huge market for sprite based pokemon games and they're way cheaper to develop than 3d games so I don't understand why they don't do it

If they announced a new sprite based Pokemon game it would be insanely viral on the internet

I think there is a market for people who like the 3D style games and people who like the retro looking games

>they're way cheaper to develop than 3d games
wrong.
3d games are cheaper, and they sell better. the switch games consistently beat sales records. they have no incentive to go back.
>>
it would siphon off attention from the 3D games they still struggle to develop and that would be embarrassing
>>
>>58289546
I think they will at some point even if its a long time away
>>
>>58289546
If you want new games like that play fan games
>>
>>58289546
because no major japanese dev has any pixel artists anymore
fucking snk hasnt made a new metal slug either and the guys that typically make those had to split and make their own studio for their serial numbers filled off metal slug
shits dire
>>
>>58289680
theres surely still people at pokemon who was involved with some of the games pre gen 6
>>
Because they earn money enough making core games, to want to bother stretching to a team of useless fuckers making non-core games, just because you need to dickride your lost youth you stupid monkey.
>>
>>58289784
Yeah. The problem is both Game Freak and TPC are charged with supporting Nintendo's 3D systems (well, when TPC are arsed trying to make one at least), which kinda precludes any staff in-house at Game Freak to pitch sprite-based games and being taken seriously, outside some wholly separate Gear Project horseshit borne out of their position as market leader and multibillion revenue earner (because much like google, they can afford to give staff 1 whole work day a week to themselves to do any personal project work when they're up-to-snuff on their employed workload).

People brought bdsp so I don't see why they couldn't do a 2d game

what did she meanted by this
>>
>>58289546

no there isn't
>>
>>58289859
They didn't make BDSP and they probably could. But Nintendo don't want them to, they have a lovely little 1080p HD handheld and don't WANT their associated studios releasing obsolete display games on THEIR budgets. If Nintendo released a Game Biy Return, insted of the 3DS, they may have told Game Freak "yo, give us another them srptiey game things" but reality turned away from the past to embrace the future (it's why so many metric fucktonne of sprite-based devs fucked off to mobile in Japan in 2011 - it was cheaper than trying to learn to work in 3D for the 3DS).
>>
>>58289948
This, I honestly don't know why there are so many retards in the screeching minority that try to gaslight themselves into thinking this still has major appeal
>>
>>58289546
That's literally a 3D game in your image
>>
>>58290471
You're a retard if you don't think people would want it

The games pre gen 6 are more relevant than gens 6-8

People still love the old games

You're probably 15

>>

Because kids think sprites are lame and boring stuff for old people.
>>
>>58289546
Everyone nowadays wants a big open world game with realistic graphics, realistic physics, etc. Gamefreak and their outdated studio have finally caught up to 2010. They see the demand for an open world environment so I don’t think Gamefreak is going to turn back to 2D.
>>
>>58289546
This >>58291182
Even /vp/ zoomies shit on the older games, especially the chiptune music. Young people see pixel sprites as outdated and ugly.

Damn brats... making fun of sprite art... rape correction needed...

Most zoomers grew up with those games. Gen Alpha are the ones who grew up with 3D Pokemon. They are the true enemy.
>>
>>58291360
Early 20 is still zoomer. XY came out in 2013.

Its more likely than others here think,
gamefreak has been experimental with the mainline spin offs since moving to switch with lets go, bdsp and the legends series
pokemon has been acknowledging the fans nostalgia for the retro sprites in gen 9 and plushies and i could totally see them trying a pixel style mainline spin off game in the future even if its 10 years from now

But that's just your typical Kanto pandering

their 2d game are fucking garbage too other 2d games mogged it too, a hamtaro game lmao even

They clearly meant sprites

Black and white are the best looking pokemon games

Not even close.

Give us Pokemon maker

I want a streamlined way to make a pokemon region even if its limited
>>
>>58289546
They already make plenty of money not doing something cool like that and 3D modeling is actually cheaper. It's like how Valve became lazy fucks because Steam makes them a ton of money so Episode 3 will never exist.

so much this
>>
I think their 2D Pokémon menu graphics look worse than sprites, kind of plastic and boring, but I think that even if they didn't do sprites, a game of entirely 2D assets would look decent. Give it the overhead view, use tile-based movement but hide it well, do interesting route design.
>>
>>58292548
If only you had the bottom half and had the native resolution and the animation.
>>
>>58292570
I’m glad you’re able to admit the sprite looks bad when the resolution is cut in half like what the game does 99% of the time.
>>
>>58292137
Speaking for me personally the last pokemon game I played was brilliant diamond and I'd get back into the franchise if they went back to making classic looking games again
>>
>>58292599
And Gen I back sprites look good when brought down to their not-blown-up resolution, the resolution they were drawn at. Therefore they look good.
>>
>>58292721
I'm glad you're able to admit the sprites look bad when you actually play the game instead of staring at them on Bulbapedia.
>>

BW has one of the most disgusting looking overworlds in the series

I'm glad you can admit the sprites are objectively good, probably even the best, and the only thing you can complain about is the camera

imagine if square enix did a pokemon game and it looked like this

this but old squaresoft

true

Yeah, it's really unfortunate that the 3D elements were introduced, and they doubled down on it for Gen VI and later

Mario maker works because making a level doesn't take long

there are a lot of rom hacking tools for gen 3 or you can use rpg maker

No they're not. 2D's hasn't been industry standard in decades and a lot of grads for the game industry are expected to have some knowledge of 3D modeling or texturing.
>>
>>58289546
We aren't ever getting a 2d game again but I do think we will get more games like bdsp because they're low budget and ilca does them

I would love an ilca style game in a new region but it will probably just be gen 2 or 5
>>
>>58292548
gen 2 had the most soul

>>58292182
Weird way to spell Heartgold and Soulsilver, but okay.
