>>58464579I hate this line. Are there games that look better than gens 1 to 5? Yes. Does that mean gens 1 to 5 look bad? No. Just because something looks better doesn't mean they look bad.
The modern games aren't just graphically behind, they're Ugly with a capital U. I don't need Pokemon to look like Elden Ring, I just need it to look like actual effort went into the production of the fucking game. I went back to playing Scarlet last night to give it another chance and you know what I was welcomed to years after launch? Battling a Mimikyu who was stuck in a wall. My Pawmo swimming on a suspension bridge like it was water despite the water being a long way down. The environments are ugly, the battles are stiff, everything feels slower than fucking Diamond and Pearl. DP's Japanese release wasn't even this buggy but at least they fixed that game.
The last time I played before this I stopped after falling through the floor two times in a row. And none of it is fucking patched. These games still can not run on the console they were released on and Gamefreak doesn't fucking care. The four Xenoblade games don't run this bad, BOTW and ToK don't run this bad, Mario Odyssey and fucking Witcher 3 don't run this bad. Hogwarts Legacy runs better on Switch than SV does. Why do we blame the Switch when other games have worked around its limitations? A game can be graphically weaker but still be presentable. Shit like pic related isn't just a game not looking as good as others on the console. Its a cheap, easily fixable texture that they just chose not to fix it.
They make these games cheap on low budgets to maximize profit and they get away with it because retards keep defending them. There's a difference between BW being a sprite game that doesn't really look as good as Monster Tale is that I can still pop BW into my DS and enjoy the gameplay. I can't do that with modern Pokemon games.
