This looks fun as hell
This reveal mogs the shit out of SV and I wonder how the gen 9 retards are going to cope
Pic unrelated btw
>>58971658it looks far better than any of the core titles on Switch, the game it looks the most like is New Pokemon Snap
>>58971716What makes you think I wouldn't like this? This is going to be SV but even better.
South Asian setting when we should have had Greece or Egypt
>>58971658Well at least they learned a lot about making water looks good compared to that garbage that was in SV
>>58971658Looks great, shame we have to wait another year or more.
Does anyone know who the director for Winds and Waves is?
>>58971658Took them a long ass time to make a game that actually looks like a Switch game. Goddamn.
>>58971658Grass texture still looks a little wonky but other than that this game looks beautiful
>>58971778amazing water
>>58971658They've finally manage to achieve ps2 FFX tier graphics.
>>58971658It's just an early trailer but it looks kinda cool. We need to wait for games to actually be released to see the actual thing.SV and even SwSh looked nice on trailers, too. But I really love that they are going back to more anime-esque style. Fuck ScaVio, it's the ugliest Pokemon game aesthetics-wise.
>>58971716You know i can like both games right?
Bros... I feeling optimistic about Winds and WavesLowkey gorgeous
>>58971658lod still looks like sv trashthough props to them for learning to masking it better with hills and tree billboards. those lessons from monolith soft are paying off
>>58971658If you can't enter to any of the houses it'll be just as shallow as SV.
>>58971658it looks surprisingly goodi guess the shitch was a dogshit brick after alli wonder if there'll be lite versions of switch 2 by the time this releases, i really hope so
>>58971658They're gonna be CORRIDORS anyway
>>58971658All Pokemon games are fun, that's the one thing the franchise has
Please let me put a skirt on the female MC please
>>58971757yeahlook at the materials and shaders interacting with sunlight or moonlightit looks very similar in quality to new snapthis will be the first pokemon title i purchase lol
>>58971658im excited now
>>58971825family slop
>>58971658Yeah, maybe if it was being revealed as the XD sequel in 2007.How the FUCK do you people have such low standards? Look at yourselves in the mirror and ask if you're proud about how much corporate cock you suck.
>>58971658>long roads of nothing followed by 4 or 5 houses and a pokemon 7 elevennot again man
It does look fantastic. This whole thing reminds me of how I was blown away by the official GTA6 reveal compared to the leaked development clipsI wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo had in-house people working with Game Freak to ensure they wouldn't squander the Switch 2' capabilities
>>58971658It looks like a Gen IX asset flip.
>>58971757>the game it looks the most like is New Pokemon Snapyep, was going to post that too. i like it, looks pretty nice. obviously not worth anything just from the first look, but still.
>>58972032some of it yeah, I hope they step it up a bit more but at least the water looks beautiful
>>58972017Density was the main problem in SV, everything was just too sparse. That won't be an issue here>>58971974How have you never gotten a Pokemon game before, and why this one?
>>58971658Yea, I've got the urge for a vacation in Southeast Asia
>>58971658I need to know if overworld catching is confirmed or not. That will be the determining factor for how hyped I am for this game.
>>58971658Looks like Bora Bora.
>game will be completely filled with surprises because no hacks yet>looks great visually, first for a pokemon title, maybe a 7/10 at least>great tropical setting>underwater explorationlooks good for nownow i only want nintendo to put out a switch 2 lite before this releases
We already have Alola . Why do we need another island game. boring!
>>58972324Better than another European country.
>>58972114That's all the way in Polynesia. This entire area could be up for grabs.
>>58971658
>>58971658Looks miles more interesting than SV. Might actually buy this one
too much water
>>58971658>no actual gameplay shown>looks fun
>>58972370Greece would be cool
>>58971658I just hope the gym theme doesn't have that god awful chanting again.>>58971716I had fun with SV, even if it wasn't good.
>>58972417SEA main gameStraya + NZ dlc
>>58971658Looks like Palworld to me
>>58971658There is no way in hell the actual game will look like this.
>>58972709it's time to buy a switch 2
>>58972709You are this impressed by this shit?
>>58972709It'd be a crime if it looked that bad while being a Switch 2 exclusive
>>58972774unironically, it may in fact be time
>>58971658>semi-realistic non-anime graphics that make the pokemon feel out of place>lazy villages of five houses as if we still in 2D>pokemon centers are once again not real buildingsYiikesIt's like SV but with a worse graphical style
>>58972774/v/ isn't going to like this
>>58972417>This entire area could be up for grabs.Let's fucking go
The graphics are far too realistic for pokemonThat being said I admit the water looks niceBetter than SV I guess, but still not what pokemon deserves
>>58971658Doesn't matter, game will still run at 10 fps, have pop in, and shitty de-saturated reused models with an incomplete pokedex where half the mons are unusable, overpowered, or only available through dlc. All the mons will have 3 frame looping animations that you only get to see in a 30 foot wide area in every town where you can feed them berries or noodles or some shit. They won't follow you around and the shiny odds will be changed to 1/200. Breeding will be removed in favor of a streamlined experience. No gyms, no elite four, instead the trainer will have to fight the 5 island kahunas to teach you the meaning of friendship. Your rival will be the gender you didnt pick and will give up after two battles and give you their starter because they believe in you. The underwater section they showed will be a 2 minute segment during a minigame where you have to collect seashells for professor palm. No post game content. The new gimmick is that your pokemon can use the latent energy of your good will and love to enter a temporary state where they summon 5 miniature versions of themself that know a 20 base power version no effect version of one of your known moves. The game will release for 80 dollars, you will preorder it, and you will either be disappointed and wonder where all the magic went or lie about loving it in a vain attempt to convince yourself that you didnt waste nearly 100 dollars on a game with half the features and content of a 20 dollar game from a developer who actually cares about making a good game
Foe the first time ever in Pokémon history, the graphics look acceptable
>>58972709Doesn't look much graphically different from SV and it's on a more powerful console.
>>58972002Bait
>>58972324Yeah i find tropical settings so boring and repetitive
>>58971766I didn't even read the post, I just saw a tripcode and disregarded it immediately
when are they revealing the new gimmic? next korokoro?
>>58972871>>semi-realistic non-anime graphics that make the pokemon feel out of placeThis is my biggest gripe with the series as of late. No idea why they're leaning so hard into this instead of sticking with how SwSh looked.
as a pokemon boomer how do i get excited about new games when i know the story and characters will all be one dimensional because it's a childrens game?
>>58973249Read this bussy
>>58971658Legitimately the best looking pokemon game ever made. The only things im hoping for now is a huge regional dex at LEAST like SV had, and open world after surf unlocks.
Dive is fucking back
>>58971851>PS2 can now run at native 4KWith the digital out? How do I turn this on?
>>58973081Why is everyone reposting this? Is this a new leak?
>>58973459yes definitley, it also says gullible on the ceiling pal
>>58971716Imagine being so autistic and developmentally stunted, you believe people can only like one thing ever. I can't wait to go to the new region (looks like Dive returns, maybe that hike group leak from the rockposter was actually legit) and I really enjoyed what SV was, "shitty" S1 performance and all (OLED had better performance than base and S2 better yet again. I was on OLED up to S2, but I understand poors and browns could only afford the base or lite models and they're more noisy than me).
>>58973309Yeah , I mean SwoShi looked bad but at least the anime aesthetics was the right ideaPokemon should look like Genshin or Ananta, not like Crysis or GTA...
>>58971658You still can't go inside the buildings.
>>58971658It looks like open world slop, and worse, it looks like Palworld graphically. This is the game to confirm that TPC and GF have stopped giving a shit, and so I should too. I'm not paying 500+ USD for an underpowered nintendo console and an overpriced shitshow of a game. I'm not even going to waste money on smash this time around, fuck nintendo, fuck TPC, fuck Gamefreak, this is gonna be complete dogshit ass mark my words.The only thing TPC can do to course correct is to go back to the formula from gens 1-5 and kill this stupid far cry breath of the wild slop. Give me linear routes, give me tall grass, give me random encounters, stop with this enshitification.
Is it 60fps?
>>58973569this would kill it for me
>>58973619Look at middle left. They're still doing 'station' style stores.
>>58973588warn em all you want, theyre gonna buy the slop anyway. We've had at least 2 generations of shit tier games, and thats being generous, and za which plays like it was made by a fuckin amateur, and theyre still out here sucking gamefreak off enthusiastically
>>58973664that might just be one wild area this is still early as fuck in dev so im remaining optimistic, especially after seeing how nice stuff looks
Reminds me of gamecube era kinoDamnit Pokemon stop dragging me back in I was free
>>58971962Children's game. You're not allowed to look up the MCs panties. It's never happening.
>>58973687>this is still early as fuck in dev so im remaining optimisticCome one nowIt's fucking 2026, you can't just spout that cope anymore like the last decade hasnt existed...
>>58972073NTA but because it looks like they put effort in it? dunno what to tell you pal
>>58971658Was 2 more years in development really all it needed for them to improve the graphics that much from SV?
Will it have real time battles?
>>58974034>because it looks like they put effort in it?I can't know what other people are thinking but if there's a trend of people distant from the series becoming interested in it again because of the genuine effort expended here, I think that's wonderful. I've been a long time fan and follower of the series and it feels like this is something of a return to form too. We'll see in the end
>>58971658It'll run at 60fps right? It still looks like a switch 1 game and SV ran at 60fps on switch 2. Gamefreak cant possibly mess this
>>58971658the water looks good, everything else doesn't look very good
>>58971658Honestly this is what I want a Pokémon game to look like. The environments are detailed but not painfully realistic. I don't want to see Pokémon in a game like tLoU2.
>>58973516kys you sperging faggot the game is dogshit and you have no standards.
>>58974218they seem to be used to the S2 hardware, so there's hope
>>58971716>This reveal mogs the shit out of SV and I wonder how the gen 9 retards are going to copeDon't you think they'll like an improvement on what they already enjoyed?
>>58973831If you were still here, you were never free.
>>58974218>It'll run at 60fps right?Probably, I don't think they were intentionally trying to tax the Switch 1 hardware last gen.
>58974271>says the faggot sperging because no-one here shares her incel mindset or doomer mentality over a kid's game not trying to compete with GTA6
>>58971716Nobody thought SV looked good, ever. People like SV cause of the story.
>>58971658This doesn’t look region inspired. Just Vacation Island. Aka Ryuku/Ogasawara Islands.
>>58971658>the stock pokeball throw capture animation on pikachu in the trailerI was hoping for at least Legends 1 combat, damn, I'm so over being sucked into a battle by stubbing my toe on a stupid fucker
>>58971658>Admit it this looks funAnon, those are still images of environment. What looks fun as hell? The dirt path in front of a store? The dock with buildings you can't enter? The skyscraper around the base of which you're gonna walk to talk to NPCs?Why are you niggers so obsessed with devaluing the meaning of the term fun.
>>58974327Everyone here seethes about new Pokemon games being shit for years but they never leave. It's fascinating.
>>58971858oh no, it's retarded
>>58974059They are just doing the bare minimum now. It's not anything amazing when compared to non-Pokemon games.
>>58974520It looks like a fun world to explore. A variety of environments and Pokemon to catch. If you don't like the core premise of the games you can just say that.
>>58971658hey at least the MCs don't like weirdo femboys
>>58971658But did they bother designing interiors for the buildings this time?
It legitimately looks a lot better than I was expecting. However, that just makes me expect the games to run like shit even more. Like, if the graphics actually look good for once, and it's still GameFreak, there's no way this will run smoothly.
>>58971658to be fair to them gen VII was less bad than gen VI and gen VIIImaybe this wi be less bad than gen VIII and gen IX.
>>58971658>They've reached original Xbox levels of graphicsInsane graphical leap ngl.Now let's see it run a stable 30fps in-game.
idk if im stupid. what country is this region based on
>>58974904If you watch the Scarlet and Violet reveal trailer, even in that footage shit was flickery, stuttery, and pretty unfinished looking. I'd be bold enough to say this is pretty representative of what we're getting.
>>58974967and we're still a year out. even if this trailer was bullshots it looks to be in a near complete state with time for quality control.
>>58974910We saw ZA's frame drops in the trailer but this one ran pretty smoothly
>>58975049>Grok, generate a 10th gen Pokémon trailer that looks like it's an Xbox 360 game
Will there be outfit customization?
>>58974950streets are saying Indonesia
Does the game still look like it's based off of Indonesia or did they change course?
>>58975141Not enough CP to be Grok.
>>58971658I hated the last two gens and even outright skipped them (plus their mons all looked like ass) but this one actually looks exciting so fart. boomer
>>58971658>Pokemon fans happy about their games in 2026 finally looking like late PS3/360 era games
>6,000 outfits for girl (tranny) character>only 50 new pokemon >new fashion show dress up features>new emote dances for dress up>no following pokemon>no new battle mechanics>battles further take a backseat to actual game>all starters anthro final form>all fun looking gameplay teased is very small portion of game >routes are either hallways or extremely empty fields. No in between.If I’m wrong I’ll buy it but I have exactly ZERO faith in gamefreak anymore
>>58975219SOmeone said the location with the huts on the water could be based off Bora-Bora.I'll also add, if teraleak revealed they were that far along, with a region they'd decided to work on as the region as focus, they weren't going to change the basis of the region.
>>58975257We already have 1000 pokemon. We don't need even more than that.
>>58975257a single good new pokemon would be better than all the fuckugly garbage designs we got in sv
>58975254>gwaffixnigger in 2026 still wilfully misunderstanding the actual point and draw of Pokémon to cry about gwaffixniggotry
>>58971851PS2 was the graphical peak of vidya so that sounds great.
>>58975288Okay so here’s the thing>adding new pokemon meaningfully enhances the GAMEPLAY>spending the money, asset design, and all other resources to make trannies feel cute does fuckall for the actual gameI’d rather get 2,000 new pokemon in one game than have them ignore gameplay for customization again.
>>58975254If you think the PS3 could handle this, you're only fooling yourself.
>>58975343It depends on the game because not all PS2 titles look as great as Okami.
>>58975257>>no new battle mechanics>>battles further take a backseat to actual gameThat hasn't been tbe case even once in any mainline game, why would it start now?
>>58975257>no new battle mechanicsThey WILL add another stupid gimmick that looks absolutely horseshit, and to balance it out, they'll remove moves as important as Hidden Power and Pursuit, maybe something like Knock Off or U-Turn, you know, useless moves.
>>58975358Personally, I would trade a lot for better presentation. Something like Sun and Moon would be ideal.
>>58975257>girl (tranny)You have actual brainrot. Consider a therapist or suicide.
>>58975257>girl (tranny) characterOBSESSEDBSESSED
>>58971658>pictures of landscapes and water>"This looks fun"What a retarded thing to say. It's a game, not a nature documentary. It's impossible to say yet if it's fun.
>>58975410Nah dawgActual women who play the game, like my sister and fiancée, never change the default outfit because they’re playing for the gameThe outfits are for exactly one demographic and you fucking know it
>>58975358Very based, finally someone says it. XY did a lot of damage to the series with its character customization
>>58975437This. If they cut trainer customization they might have had more time to also not include berry farming in the game.
>>58975410"brainrot" and "brainworms" are the tell. imagine failing to pass so hard that we can sense it through your post
>>58973318SV had a really good story actually, first time I actually enjoyed the writing in a mainline Pokémon gamet. fellow boomer
>>58975358what makes you think giving the player clothing options means they're taking resources away from other areas? that's a very naive impression of how game design works.
>>58975453Oh, so you think it's about wanting there to be less features? Do you even know what the point of these fucking games is? It's not for playing tranny dress-up. Faggot. Get with the program or go play Disney Dreamlight Valley for fuck's sake.
>>58974839literally the same 4 buildings cut and pasted across the screen holy fucking kek
>>58971658>looks like pso2ngs
>>58975472>game comes out>progressively more customization>progressively less design in other areas, including pokemon (the namesake of the game)>”I mean you can’t just assume they prioritized one thing over the other”If the outfit team is outperforming the game design time at this level, there are more serious problems than I thought.
>>58975523>progressively less design in other areas, including pokemonThat's a lie.
>>58975495>Oh, so you think it's about wanting there to be less features?You always shill for less features as long as they happen to not exist in gen 5, so yes.
>>58975472That is necessarily how game development works. Game Freak does not have infinite time or people. If they allocate resources toward designing outfits and programming dolly dress up minigames that necessarily takes time away from other critical things, like content and performance. Don't try this shit, and especially don't try to sneak past anyone with your sniveling passive aggressive horseshit.
>>58975550>defending a hundred pairs of socks with empty hallway routesI really don’t even know what to say anymore. Generally people like you interpret that as a meaningful victory. In that way, nice work.
>>58975552The games should start with ensuring the world, environments, and roster are fully fleshed out. They should start there. Then other indulgences can be taken. What we've gotten for several gens in a row now is clearly unfinished, halfbaked phoned in cash cows with ornamental features for trannies and gooners to larp over. Not good. Not what the games used to be.
>>58971812This is a good thing, means the game might actually be goodI don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m actually quite impressed by how it looks so far
So realistically, are these poised to do better than SV in terms of sales? ZA?
>>58971658What country is this supposed to be? Caribbean Islands? Or could it be more Amazon kinda thing?
>>58975563Someone who makes designs for outfits can't work on optimization, are you fucking retarded? Your idea of game development is that of a 14 year old. It's not how any of that works. You don't just magically allocate your staff to make whatever you want. Different people have different jobs and need different amounts of time. It's not like the 3D modeller making an outfit is "stealing dev time" from a programmer. They can't do each others job and they can work simultaneously.
>>58975624This. They should cut trainer customization AND have a half baked world like gen 5 and I’m NOT joking.
>>58975624This. Character customization is something you add to a pokemon game as polish, not budget as a core feature for advertising.Pokemon games used to be about animas and ecology. Now they’re about people and it’s retarded. There are SO many other games about people. Not so for the other portions. I wish we could just have this one thing.I don’t even have anyone to blame. I like what I like and don’t what I don’t. I guess this is what sells. Still gonna bitch about it tho.
I'm not gonna start glazing jsut because the screenshots look better than SV they still have a long way
>>58975649It's Indonesia, especially Bali.
philippine area will look like tropical paldea....
>>58971658It's looks like they finally put money into making the games look good.
>>58975654>Someone who makes designs for outfits can't work on optimization, are you fucking retarded?Artists and modelers can spend more time on world and environmental details instead of clothing. Programmers can spend more time on actual game systems like battling, world interactions etc. instead of player customization. No, rendering devs do not work on Pokemon designs and artists don't do route structure editing but artists and programmers are allocated in accordance with the needs of the game, and if high-level project management goals include implementing systems for clothing and character customization, artist and dev time will be delegated thus. That time and effort is wasted if the features are greatly auxiliary to the core point of the games, which I can assure you is not to flatter gender confused weirdos.
>>58975672Taking a look at it, it checks out.
>>58975661>Pokemon games used to be about animas and ecology.10000%, and this is what I'm so pleased to see apparently representing the focus in these new games. I can only hope that's properly made manifest come release time.
>>58975760If that happens, I’ll be ecstatic and genuinely admit I was wrong as if anybody gives a fuck when a good new game just came out.I’m not committed to disliking any particular pokemon game. I’ve just been disappointed a lot lately
>>58971658Is this game going to use typical turn based combat or ZA style combat?ZA combat kind of grew up on me, not gonna lie.
>>58975793Same, every game released for the past 12 years has been a shadow of what I wanted it to be. The vision was there, their hearts were in the right place, but what was delivered fell short every time.
>>58975793The game's described as having a vast ocean for you to explore so I'm guessing it's gonna be Pokemon mixed with Windwaker. Having a vast ocean screams loads of future DLC as they can always just plop down a new island in an empty region
>>58971658MH Rise looked better on the switch 1
>>58975841That sounds awesome and my favorite Zelda game was indeed windwaker. You’re getting my hopes up a little.That said, I think the problem of being about people instead of animals is unfortunately likely to persist.>what’s going on in these oceans ecologically?>do you spend time actually helping any pokemon or is all conflict centered around people and their ambitions?>what are the stakes in this conflict? Is it something like ecologically disaster which actually threatens the values of love for animals and ecology? Or is it going to be aliens/end of all life in universe/space time collapse/so on?There is a direction here I’d love and one that would disappoint me. I’d even be willing to meet in the middle. Shit, I’d meet 65% their way and still be happy.
>>58975803Turn based, this shit is aimed at the kids and normie casuals.
>>58971658what are the chances of this game ending up looking like this.?
>>58975911So go play that, wank yourself silly to its looks. Guessing however the gameplay's hot dogshit, seeing as you're sperging about looks and not gameplay though.
>>58975960Oh it'll 100% look like this. Just be prepared for like 20fps
>>58971658not shit looking environments arent fun. that is the bare minimum.
>>58971658It looks like non gameplay and starters look like ass.
>more seanig aesthesticsWho asked for this
>>58971658they look like SV 2 with better graphics.if it doesnt have the legends catch mechanics then straight into the dumpster it goes.
>>58971658This looks like Paldea 2.0 poorly hidden by cutscene footage, but of course people here will go :O and not think for a second and notice those dogshit Paldean plains
will there be switch 2 bundle or switch 2 lite bundle?
>>58971658It's SV with better water, wow amazing
>>58971658we didn't get any gameplay though? I mean the environments look nice but I hope it's turn based with the legends surprise field capture mechanic from behind. I like how I could play arceus like a stealth game and I haven't even finished ZA
>>58971658Already looks better and still has a lot of time for polishing
>>58974549Despite what people tell you, they still play these games and look forward to every release
>>58971658>Finally going back to the gen 3 feelI hate I may have to get a switch 2 for this
>>58976713Considering how utterly shit the water in SV was in terms of looks and performance, this is a huge improvement
>>58971716You're all falling for it again. Go watch the SV reveal, it was all snippets of the single textures and landscapes that actually looked good to make it seem like the game was a graphical jump. We're already having people dissecting the fact the game is clearly running at 30fps.
>>58977063>Go watch the SV revealYou mean the one that had a 2fps windmill?
>>58977080>Gen 9 trailer flashes you with a bunch of graphics to distract from the shitty fps on the background>Gen 10 trailer flashes you with a bunch of graphics to distract from the shitty fps on the background>GAME FREAK LEARNED GUYS!!1! THIS ONE IS FOR REAL!
>>58977196The 2 fps windmill was front and center, anon. Are you alright? Are you seething because your doomposting isn’t valid anymore?
oh my god doomers are losing it
>>58975500Don't bring up that cursed name.
>>58971658>pokefans now suddenly care about grafixpathetic
>>58971776Where do they confirm this?
>>58974380What story?
>>58973555>SwoShi looked badNope, they are the best-looking modern Pokémon games.
>>58975254Ps3 games looked great, I don't see the problem
What tf are we supposed to play until November 2027 cause ZA ain't it. Makes me wonder why they even bothered pushing its DLC out so fast instead of making it good and releasing it in holiday of this year
First 3d game to ever look visually appealing.
>>58977063But SV never looked good in the trailers. This does. Tendies have such warped eye sight.
>>58978177We're getting more of the older games shuffled to the Switch over the course of the year.
>>58978192XY and SM looked fine, Unovashill.
>>58975257>>no following pokemonWhy do poketards want this "mechanic" so much? All they do is follow you around and do nothing. you retards act like this is some super important mechanic that makes the creature raise the feature a million times better, but in reality it does nothing. >no new battle mechanicsPlease, no more gimmick slop. Megas are ass, giant forms are ass, silly hats are fucking ass, and no more gimmicks.
>>58971658Which Dreamcast game is this?
>>58978177...Just play games that aren't pokemon? I refuse to believe there are people who actually only play pokemon games.
>>58978177You know there are games other than Pokemon, right?
>>58973668They traded a consistent, coherent, unique style for generic realistic environments and graphical fidelity. The pokemon models don't look like pokemon anymore, especially the starters.
>>58971658Literally how does this look fun? They showed zero gameplay, there's nothing to judge on how fun the game will be yet. All we know is that the game will (maybe) actually look decent for once.
>>58978257they did not and neither did unova
>>58971658It looks like they actually tried
>>58971658HOENN 2.0, ZOOMER VERSION
>>58975733>Artists and modelers can spend more time on world and environmental details instead of clothingI don't think character artists are skilled in environment art
>>58971658It looks pretty, but it'll have always-on EXP All so it's another hard pass from me. Gonna enjoy Gen 10 OU though.
>>58975288There's over 13,000 Yu-Gi-Oh cards (which you have to pay money to own) and you don't see YGO-chads complaining.
>>58978768No wonder It gives me bad vibes despite reminding me of Alola. Ruby made me quit pokemon as a kid until dp came out
>>58971658Nice graphics != fun, retard.
>>58978100The story about Arven, the professor, Area Zero and the Paradox mons.
Why DOES the water look good anyway?
>>58979010They discovered the stock shader
Guess I'm skipping leaks this time, this game looks huge and I'm all for it, going blind :3
>>58971658looks like Pokemon Snap 2 graphics
>>58979065What about it looks huge? or any bigger than the past 4 pokemon releases for switch?
I can't say it's fun because there wasn't any gameplay yet. Graphics are doing the bare minimum we wanted but I appreciate it
>>58979106duuuude look at the huge epic foggy underwater blue filter straight line route wow my childlike sense of exploration
>>58979010They ditched their shitty in-house spaghetti code engine and used something made by competent people.
>>58972871You're indian aren't you?
>>58978142Now show the wild areas
>>58971658>look at these biomes with pokemon walking in themIt looks pretty and all but that's the same trailer they've released for every switch game. The next trailer is probably going to tease the regional gimmick, also just like they've done for every game in the last 6 years. I'm not excited to look at environmentsShow me a trailer with interesting and fun new mechanics and ideas. Diving is the only thing that could be promising here, but I'll assume it's just "catching pokemon and picking up super potions, but now with an underwater background" until GF shows otherwise. It's going to be gen 10 and you still can't ride your own pokemon or use them for HM-like tasks in the open world? If they use a rotom/catch-all device for travel and rotom pokedex then I don't care because they don't either
>>58979331It’s a game for small children anon
>>58979534That's not an excuse. Pokemon used to be good. "Games for children" used to be good in general.Look at Nintendo. They mostly make games with kids in mind and yet the quality of Nintendo's work far eclipses Game Freak's.
>>58979331If you want to take that rockleak as legit beyond the starters, the dive mechanic could be that pokémon synchro bullshit people started wittering about.
>>58979567And to back your argument pick a Nintendo franchise even more iterative than Pokemon?I have more hours than you do in Mario Kart World btw
>>58971716this
>>58975361Ratchet and Clank was pretty enough and it was a 2007 game
>>58979161this but unironicallyi have been of the opinion for a long time that routes need to be designed like pokemon snap levels
>>58978263Pokemon do follow you in the modern games anyways because you can just let them out of their poke ball
>>58971658>Not representative of actual gameplay Hopefully it's actually fun to play though, this would make me but a switch 2 in 2027
Just the right amount of water!
>region has no pokemon centers because all the Nurse Joys went to Unova and Kanto
>>58977196>EVERYTHING MUST BE 120FPS OR IT'S SHIT GUYSSSSS>Shadow of the Colossus on PS2 run at 10-20 fps. It got high scores and got praised by the community, now cult classic.
>>58980505Because you're literal manchild dweling in parents basement.>inb4 you opinion is valid at all
>>58979331>I'm not excited to look at environmentsI amA good region is like half of the appeal of a pokemon gameNow if only it could have both a good wilderness and nice cities..
Nothing shown was gameplay, thoughbeit
>>58978177other games
>>58971658>trailer >"Holy pepperoni, this game looks amazing!"People who make judgement calls about games that aren't even released are the reason game companies get away with so much shit.
>>58981755oh my god anon calm down people are just saying a trailer looked good not pre ordering it
>>58981755Why? I'm not going to buy no matter what.
>>58971658I’m honestly not sure what you guys are even seeing that can constitute saying “this looks fun”.We have literally zero details on gameplay. Is fun defined by how pretty an area looks to you guys? I mean its no fucking wonder you guys seethe so much when your expectations are broken you’re all so colossaly stupid.
>>58981777The graphics look passable, but OP said the game looks fun due to a trailer. I feel like we have been burned enough times by GF to be skeptical of everything until the game is fully released. >>58981788Hell yeah
>>58981804There have been 9 cycles of these games already. We know exactly what type of gameplay to expect. You run around the world catching Pokemon and fighting trainers.The problem with recent gens was a lack of refinement in the world, such that the sense of scale and exploration was severely compromised. That does not appear to be a problem here as was glaringly obvious in past reveal trailers.You're smack in the middle of midwit range. Go smoke a bowl and watch Rick and Morty and feel good about yourself, faggot.
>>58979331>It's going to be gen 10 and you still can't ride your own pokemonWhat in the fuck does this have to do with the actual premise of the series? Are you angry you don't get to participate in fashion contests too?
>>58977063sv reveal looked really mediocre dude. like clearly underdone
>>58971658I hate it, swsh had better art direction, but you retards had to spreg out about lower textured trees. I thought they were on the right track with ZA being more colorful than usual, but this is too realistic for my liking
>>58981912I think it's clearly still pretty impressionistic, and a lot of people have compared it to New Pokemon Snap, which I somewhat agree with. But to each his own. To me, overdoing the stylistic stuff like straight up cel shading etc is tacky.
>>58975358I'd rather gf stop being massively understaffed, so they stop making compromises. This still isn't "the big one", I bet you this place has less depth as an island paradise than Alola. The 30th game should be like that fan-made gen remake concept, something shocking, not just SV in a new engine.
>>58981840If what you were saying was even remotely true then nobody would have seethed about swsh, bdsp or sv gameplay. And you’re accusing other people of being midwits?
>>58981840>The problem with recent gens was a lack of refinement in the world, such that the sense of scale and exploration was severely compromised.This is nothing but a vaguepost. Its fucking ironic that you call someone a midwit when you can’t even give an actual example that isn’t quantified by how pretty an area looks or some bullshit like “soul”. Its very easy to see the difference between the level design of a route in the old games versus a completely open ended world and tackle those details in your argument by example but you can’t even do that. You sound like an open world normgroid anyway, you don’t even know what you want you’ll basedface as long as it looks pretty then doompost the shit out of the game when it comes out.
>>58982099>Its very easy to see the difference between the level design of a route in the old games versus a completely open ended world and tackle those details in your argument by example but you can’t even do that.I'm not here to write a dissertation right out of the gate. The first line of counterargument is to emphasize that the core game has remained intact, but the production values of the games have not, and that exemplifies the central critique of the past 8 or so years. If others need me to spell out what production values mean, I refer to model and texture fidelity, world fidelity meaning environmental detail and density, liveliness within towns in terms of NPC behavior and ornamental structures, performance and stability, quality of graphical effects like shadows, lighting, illumination and reflections, etcetera etcetera. Do you want me to continue? Does this require further elaboration? Are you just going to gaslight me with your "define X" semantics games?More specifically, Scarlet and Violet was the first game since Diamond and Pearl to have routes with complex nonlinear layouts, which had long since been whittled and reduced in the name of accessibility and simplification even starting in Gen 5. But it completely dropped the ball in terms of world, environmental, and geometric detail. Practically empty towns, sparse fields and vacant plots of questionable-looking prop trees scattered haphazardly at a distance from one another. Not to mention the framerate and animation work being as scattershot as they were. The world was the problem, not the core game.Again: we know what kind of game this will be. Pokemon does not require dramatic gameplay innovations; Legends ZA is probably the most mechanically """""innovative""""" game in ages and it was mediocre, because its direction was orthogonal to the base concept: exploring ecosystems and catching creatures. This is the fundamental conceit of the games as manifested by Tajiri's original vision.
>>58971658>Pokémon Center/Mart is once again a small building with no doors.just pull a fucking yakuza and make seamless transitions. Bring back interior design. Hire more fucking people
