>>47400265All I'm gleaning from this post is that you're okay with the absoute bare minimum. If GF is going to remove Pokemon for graphics, the graphics better look fucking amazing, but SWSH genuinely looks bad when held up to every other Switch game not named FE:TH.
I honestly think you're being pretty reasonable, which is rarer than a fucking shiny on this board, I can even compromise and say that we have different definitions of "bad graphics", but the opportunity cost of cut Pokemon does not match the level of graphical fidelity that I find acceptable, therefore I think the games look bad.
Even if you post an okay looking setpeice like that, the routes look ugly, the battle screens look ugly, or are just gradients, the game still reuses 3DS animations, doesn't scale the Pokemon properly, and leans heavily on VFX to disguise how stiff the actual Pokemon are moving. PBR is a Wii game and runs laps around everything found in SWSH, if a Switch console game can't keep up with a Wii one with graphics, the Switch game failed.
