>>54629160Pokemon games have this weird issue where the asset quality is actually mostly good. Indoor locations look great, Pokemon themselves are nice, character models are good, etc. If you upscale the resolution of focus on those elements, you start seeing what the devs were going for.
I think Gamefreak simply doesn't have enough dev time to optimize the games, so they employ a really basic shitty approach of lowering texture quality in some places (town textures in SV often look awful, while in Arceus, all character models had literal N64 textures), limiting the framerate and resolution, and praying that everything works out. They should've fine-tuned the geometry and texture quality across the entire game to make it run stable, but with their deadlines, it's a miracle the game runs at all.
They really should just hire more fucking people already.
