I can admit that some areas such as this town and Motostoke look aesthetically pleasing, but at the same time, a aesthetic has to be consistent for it to be consistently good, and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. For every bit of eye candy like in OP's image, we've got several moonwalking models, unscaled pokemon, absurd levels of pop-in and laughable textures. It's particularly infuriating because despite everything, GF is showing some level of competence here, even if it's small. They're either just being jaded and vindictive from working on the same franchise for so long, or are more unaware and out of touch with things than someone with Alzheimers. All I can hope that SWSH brings around a breaking point where GF either gets their shit together and upsizes to deal with home console development, or the franchise gets handed off to someone else entirely.
