>>40917410It's not just the graphics that are mediocre. And, do you mean this thread or just /vp/? Because there's still a ton of stuff to talk about on both. Just because I don't like some aspects I complain about, doesn't mean there aren't aspects I enjoy; and I enjoy discussing both and getting different opinions from different people.
As for that screen-shot, Pokemon was middle tier graphics wise for a GBA game, and you're cherry picking it with games that are just using a more detailed style. There were RPGs that looked far worse that came out much later - and even so, there wasn't too big of a discrepancy between it and it's competition, as well, the Style the GBA games chose was also used deliberately, so it didn't feel too different from the previous GB games and alienate fans of previous entries.
SWSH doesn't have any of that going for it. It pales in comparison to the other releases around it, far more than the GBA games did, and even if it's trying to mimic a 'style' for Pokemon, we've seen other games in the Pokemon Franchise that look far better than it does while also keeping to a consistent style.
And again, just because it was 'bad' before in your opinion, doesn't mean that's an okay excuse for it to continue to be bad. If you think it's always been bad, why even care when people call it bad now?
