We finally upgraded from the outdated 3DS and Pokémon is moving to a hybrid console...

Why are people in such a shitty mood about this?

Why are people insisting that Pokémon Switch will be ugly when BOTW and Odyssey look so beautiful?

And why aren't people talking/speculating about this game very much?

Because half the people on this board only bought a 3DS for Pokemon and they don't want to only buy a Switch for Pokemon because it's expensive as hell, so they'll just justify it to themselves by saying it's gonna be shit, and end up buying a switch for Pokemon a few years down the line anyways.

Keep your expectations low. Gen 8's likely to not be optimized, will run worse than Gen 7, and will have even LESS features so they can introduce them again in the Revised Versions or Sinnoh Remakes while shoving a new gimmick and a new batch of supposed shillmons down your throat, and you're going to love it.

i could see them trying way too hard to make the game pretty but end up comming short on other things because of this, plus they're pretty bad at coding so the switch games will be very flawed in many aspects.
The best thing you can do Op is just to keep your expectations low so when you see that the games are gonna be dissapointing you won't be bitching about it like many people here already did with previous games.

Switch has shitty Wii U graphics, which are still outdated as fuck.

People are pissed for a number of reasons:

- Switches are expensive and hard to find.
- It is going against tradition for a series called POCKET Monsters to have a core RPG title on a system you can't fit in your pocket.
- Handheld mode for Switch is shit.

You need some deep ass pockets to fit a Switch in its handheld mode (JoyCons included) in a pocket. A bag definitely, but not a pocket.

3DS XL can fold. The Switch can't.

>>33284123
The point I'm making is that Wii U graphics on a Switch are still outdated.

You're not getting the best tech on a Switch.

As for handheld mode, lugging around a big ass tablet with the JoyCons everywhere you go is shit. 3DS has appeal because it is lightweight and portable.

It defeats the purpose of a portable handheld series to be on a console whose portability is mediocre.

The graphics for a console are outdated. As a handheld it's more impressive. Next best thing on the market is the Vita.

You call it a "big ass tablet" in a time period people carry around iPads and Notes. Maybe carry it or get a bag instead of judging everything's portability by how big your pockets are.

Are you going to complain your 3DS won't fit in your pocket while open too?

It's meant to close they're meant to be taken off. Do it and shut the fuck up with your nonsense complaints. Tablet fits in a pocket just fine. It's barely bigger than an iPhone.

Also, by the way, paid online was said to be for some games, not all.

Event Pokémon wouldn't make sense in a paid online system. Bank and Pokémon in general, the best selling series on Nintendo platforms that isn't made by Nintendo themselves will have the freedom to tell Nintendo to go fuck themselves as it relates to paid services.

Especially since the information for the online says most, not all meaning it's already open to not being that way:

>You'll be able to play compatible co-op and competitive games online by signing in with your Nintendo Account. Online play is free for Nintendo Account holders until our paid online service launches in 2018.

>After the free-trial period, most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo in order to play online. Currently the free-trial, the paid service, and online play (for applicable modes in compatible games) will be available for customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico. For the latest list of countries, please visit Customer Support.

>This service is only for Nintendo Switch. It does not affect Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems or online play.

http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/switch/online-service/

Do go on making nonsense excuses though when there are actual reasons it's not likely to be as good. I'm sure Game Freak appreciates your ignorance.

See, thats the problem. I own a Switch, this isn't a fucking upgrade it's forcing me to play pokemon on something I can't even properly fit in my pocket nor take many places. Unlike half the people that hang out in the dark playing their 3DS in the basement I actually have places to go.
Giving up everything makes a game what it is for the sake of better graphics is why video games are so hit and miss these days.

On a graphical standpoint X/Y weren't even good for 3DS games, and the first gen on a system is gonna look like balls anyway.

Pokemon is one of the games that will absolutely have paid online because it's a cashcow that will literally sell no matter how much they ask for it.
This is almost as dumb as the people claiming it will retail for 40 dollars because it wouldn't make sense to charge the same price as other Switch games.

I don't see what this has to do with the Switch taking up too much room to be practical when bag space is already wasted on better things.

I can just shove my 3DS in my pocket and be on my way, especially since the 3DS is reverse compatible and I have the DS library as well.

The problem with the Switch is that, unlike the 3DS/DS, it's not a multiple system to a house kinda deal.
Parrents will absolutely pay for the Switch's online because most households won't own as many Switch's as they did DS systems. It's a shame that kids will be *required* to have this wifi in order to interact because of how the Switch is designed and priced.

At worst people that just want a pokemon experience will buy online for a month, do their trading, and cancel which is still really shitty and what we'll have to deal with.

The problem is they're not moving to new hardware, they're forcing a game that has historically been portable onto a home console.
Also that seems less an issue for the 3DS and more a problem with Ohmori/going into the future in general.

I bought a case. It doesn't fit in my pockets, but neither did my other portable systems so far. I take the case with me wherever I go and simply take the system out whenever I want to use it. If I have to leave it in the car, I put it in the glove compartment.
That's how I use it as a portable, anyways.
>>33287747
Yes, but that doesn't prevent it from being portable. I never said that it was a dedicated handheld or anything absurd like that, but it is certainly portable!
Some people may not enjoy the Switch's portability though. It is definitely a step down from the 3DS, but with a case I haven't minded. If you don't want to buy a case, you probably aren't going to enjoy the Switch's non-clamshell design, at least for taking outside with you. Being able to just undock and take it to the bathroom or your bedroom is nice even without a case.

If I'm going to devote that much room to taking a system to work I may as well just lug around the WiiU or somthing and plug it into a TV when i get there.

The portability aside the battery life, lack of reverse compatibility(except for WiiU games you need to play again) and price point.
Pokemon has always been a social game you could take places and interact. Removing this for the sake of better graphics is a horrible idea.

You can tell by the price, games being produced for it, and even the gimmicks that the "handheld" mode is an afterthought.

I don't think I understand your point. The Switch's battery life is fine, I average 3 1/2 hours with Splatoon 2 and 5 1/2 to 6 hours with smaller indie games.
I also don't really get how a case takes up much room. It'd be a lot more of a hassle to take a Wii U, unless that was intended to be exaggeration to prove a point that I'm missing.
Pokemon is definitely a social game, and the Switch is something you can take anywhere. The only problem with it is that it, in many cases, requires a case.

I don't really see how. If you can't fit the Switch in your pockets this means you would need to carry it around in a bag or something, and if i'm going to carry a bag just for a handheld then whats the point of it being a handheld? I could bring a Wiiu in a bag just as easily.

Battery is better than the O3DS and on par with the N3DS/O3DS XL. Slightly worse than the N3DS XL though. I never said it was able to fit in your pockets. I even specified that it couldn't fit in mine, that's why I got a case! I don't put the case in any bags, but that would have to be a really small bag to not fit the Switch.

The disconnect comes from the fact none of these actually solve the problem I posed, especially when this magically only works for you.
This is no different than trying to take a WiiU somewhere it doesn't belong, and I fail to see how just getting a case makes this a portable system all of the sudden?

In order to take it out, I put it in the case and then I put it in my car. If I end up taking the bus, I sit the case in my lap. Then, let's say I decide I want to get something to eat. I'll set its kickstand up and play it while I wait for someone to take my order, then I eat and put it back in the case. If I'm on the bus, I play it in handheld mode while the case is still on my lap.
The case has a handle, if that helps at all? I think I may be trying to answer a question you're not actually asking, but that I thought you were.

Personally? I highly recommend the Vita Digimon games. I don't own a Vita, but I do own the games on the PS4. If they're remotely similar, you'll enjoy them. Cyber Sleuth is a turn-based game while Next Order is very similar to the original Digimon World game. I think Cyber Sleuth is getting a localized version of the sequel next year!

Graphics are an extremely insignficant element of the games. Why do you think that Game Freak will make the level design - the part that matters most by far - better than they have just because they can make prettier graphics?

This discussion can only happen on /vp/ between an 18 year old in 7th grade and a tryhard neckbeard that is mad he can't marry his furry drawings. One is mad he can't hide his switch in his 18 year old desk at school while the other is mad his hands aren't free to masturbate while he "plays" at "work".

A handheld has a few things going for it: battery life, portability/convenience, price point, and games.
The Switch currently checks none of boxes, sadly. At least when I got a 3DS before it had decent games I could play my entire DS library on it.

I can read runes so I don't really need a localization, but thanks for the heads up. I hear Cyber Sleuth is an acceptable SMT clone so I may pick it up.

Fair enough, not everyone can like the Switch as a portable.
I've never played SMT so I can't say how it compares, but I can say that I enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Reminded me of Dusk/Dawn.
Since you can read the runes I'd recommend the Japanese version of at least Cyber Sleuth. English localization was shit, but it's good for Next Order.

The Switch isn't really a portable, but I'm glad at least one person found a workaround.
Also yeah Dusk/Dawn were standard SMT clones so that's good to hear. Give one a try if they go on sale/you have CFW, they're pretty ok off and on.
Never really cared for the Next Order style games.

They say that because they think the performance issues of the 3DS games are due to GameFreak themselves rather than system limitations. 3DS hardware is better than the Nintendo DS and GBA before it but it's still more than a stones throw away from Wii and Wii U in terms of graphical capability, especially since the PICA is from the early 2000s and was clocked to make battery life last.

Switch is a modded Tegra X1, but it's far more modern ARM tech by comparison so the worst I expect is Battle Revolution visuals in HD.

3DS can only be pushed so far, to be honest. So I expect Switch Pokemon to look better than 3DS at the very least because higher polycounts and textures resolution alone would be increased.

CPU wise, I'm sure an ARM Cortex A53 can fare better than an ARM11 for whatever battle and field scripts that bogged down the games before but that's just assuming from how the system handles workloads of other resource heavy games.

Because, unlike Nintendo that actually takes time and effort in most of their games and has a gigantic workforce to help them come to fruition, Gamefreak are a bunch of lazy, incompetent and stubborn idiots that refuse to expand their studio even while handling perhaps the most well known IP of all time and swimming in billions of dollars.

There are good reasons to expect disappointment.

A few things bug me about it.
>Buying a paid online console for pokemon.
Sure you don't have to pay for online, but it's probably going to be required for the game.
And there isn't really much I want for the Switch.
>Nintendo games don't go down in price
Wiiu games are still expensive as fuck even though the console is dead. So i would not end up with an expansive library.
>Tablet awkwardness.
I am not a fan of the design, If i want to take it with me I would need a bag or something just to carry around a handheld. And I would need a protective case, because fuck having an exposed screen.
>Loss of device is losing two things.
If i lose or break the screen, I would have lost both my hand held and the use of the actual console.
>First big console game
I think hopping over to the new console would end well for them. They could barely handle moving to 3d.
>Could they make it work?
Sure.
Release a version of the Switch which would pretty much be the Switch go.
More portable option for it. Maybe have a cover or folding screen.
Have an expansive amount of stuff. I am talking a good few hundred new pokemon, a huge new map. Interesting things to do.
Release a switch and 3ds version.
