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 itIf they announced a new sprite based Pokemon game it would be insanely viral on the internetI think there is a market for people who like the 3D style games and people who like the retro looking games
>>58289546>they're way cheaper to develop than 3d gameswrong.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
>>58289546I think they will at some point even if its a long time away
>>58289546If you want new games like that play fan games
>>58289546 because no major japanese dev has any pixel artists anymorefucking 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 slugshits dire
>>58289680theres 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.
>>58289784Yeah. 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).
>>58289813People brought bdsp so I don't see why they couldn't do a 2d game
>>58289546>sprite based game>99% of the shitnoh overworld is 3Dwhat did she meanted by this
>>58289546>There's clearly a huge market for sprite based pokemon gamesno there isn't
>>58289859They 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).
>>58289948This, 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
>>58289546That's literally a 3D game in your image
>>58290471You're a retard if you don't think people would want itThe games pre gen 6 are more relevant than gens 6-8 People still love the old gamesYou're probably 15
>>58290940We don't sign our posts here
>>58289546Nu-Gamefreak would manage to fuck this up aswell
>>58289546Because kids think sprites are lame and boring stuff for old people.
>>58289546Everyone 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.
>>58289546This >>58291182Even /vp/ zoomies shit on the older games, especially the chiptune music. Young people see pixel sprites as outdated and ugly.
>>58291182>>58291259Damn brats... making fun of sprite art... rape correction needed...
>>58291259>Even /vp/ zoomies shit on the older gamesMost zoomers grew up with those games. Gen Alpha are the ones who grew up with 3D Pokemon. They are the true enemy.
>>58291360Early 20 is still zoomer. XY came out in 2013.
>>58289546Its 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
>>58291743>pokemon has been acknowledging the fans nostalgia for the retro sprites in gen 9But that's just your typical Kanto pandering
>>58291179their 2d game are fucking garbage too other 2d games mogged it too, a hamtaro game lmao even
nostalgia fags need to get shot
>>58292102You need to be 18 or older to post on this website
>>58292127No one wants old looking games cope
>>58289546I do not want sprite slop. Stop advocating for regression
>I-I WANT 2D BACK!!!!>the "2d" in question
>>58292172They clearly meant spritesBlack and white are the best looking pokemon games
>>58292182Not even close.
>>58292137People above the age of 18 do. Now fuck off, child.
>>58292377We don't sign our posts here.
>>58289546Give us Pokemon makerI want a streamlined way to make a pokemon region even if its limited
>>58289546They 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.
>>58292182>Black and white are the best looking pokemon gamesso 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.
>>58292548If only you had the bottom half and had the native resolution and the animation.
>>58292570I’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.
>>58292137Speaking 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
>>58292599And 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.
>>58292721I'm glad you're able to admit the sprites look bad when you actually play the game instead of staring at them on Bulbapedia.
>>58292182BW has one of the most disgusting looking overworlds in the series
>>58289546VGH...
>>58292739I'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
>>58293067imagine if square enix did a pokemon game and it looked like this
>>58293113this but old squaresoft
>>58293102>the only thing you complain about it is the gametrue
>>58293240>The in-battle cameraYeah, it's really unfortunate that the 3D elements were introduced, and they doubled down on it for Gen VI and later
>>58292432Mario maker works because making a level doesn't take long
>>58292432there are a lot of rom hacking tools for gen 3 or you can use rpg maker
>>58294118thats too hard for a pleb like me
>>58289546>There's clearly a huge market for sprite based pokemon games and they're way cheaper to develop than 3d gamesNo 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.
>>58289546We 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
>>58292548gen 2 had the most soul
>>58292182Weird way to spell Heartgold and Soulsilver, but okay.
>>58289546this house is 3d
