>>48637361The games are going that direction smooth brain. I fail to see how utterly changing how they present the looks of the world is somehow good. For what it's worth, they said they keep the looks as so, because they feel realism doesn't work for what they're trying to do.
So that means, backgrounds will never be photorealistic, while the monsters stay cartoony because they sure as shit ain't gonna start working on hair physics, when kids' imaginations have carried the brand for 25 years and again, the fact they're spending time making a fully free-camera game with large open areas (not full open, because they already know kids need a structure and guidance to finshi games they themselves make - even some adults too).
Go make your own open-world pokéomn game, if you can actually make games. Else stop crying a kiddy series doesn't do what every other adult-focused devhouse does. They never had to bother about adults, thanks to the success of the brand with kids from launch.
