>>38289130Realistic graphics =/= Good graphics.
Good graphics can, and in some cases definitely should, be stylized (this is one of those cases). However so far none of the 3DS mainline pokèmon games have had good graphics. They're not the worst, but they definitely could be better and I'm personally one of those people who think GF is just not doing the best they can because they know they don't have to. That's a bad attitude to have and it's why I haven't bought a pokèmon game since SM. I do think Sword and Shield look better than the previous 3D games, and at the point I'm considering buying them. But I still think if GF just put in the time and effort they have the money for, they could have done even better stylized graphics and even included proper animations: however at this point it's still a bit too early to judge and I'll wait when the finished product comes out.
But there's nothing wrong with people saying the graphics aren't good right now, and that doesn't mean they want realistic graphics either you dingus.
