>>37233462You obviously missed the bit where Masuda said photorealistic doesn't work with what they're looking to do with Pokémon in general. Nah mate, I'm actually expecting something akin to BotW or Ga-Olé's artstyle, because regardless of what the average sperg THINKS it'll look like, this is the style of the current models, which means the rest of the game will be made to suit them, rather than going back and editing 800+ models to match the new game's style.
>Marketing with Det. Pikachu means one thing: more nostalgia. And more simplication so moviegoers won't get scared away by items. Don't see how the core base will get excited by this.Again, you missed the day of the trailer drop and everyone collectively fangasming over pokémon not from the first 2 Gens being everywhere throughout the trailer. I'm even betting they'll have a couple Gen VIII 'mons as gratuitous cameos/advertising somewhere in between (I mean, they've Morelull and Emolga in it already - all bets are off).
>what's gonna be the difference that makes the people who didn't buy LGPE, buy Gen 8 so that it'll beat Smash?Simple, it's going to be the biggest Nintendo release next year and I absolutely guarantee you as soon as they start showing it off, the internet at large will be jumping aboard. Fuck, I'm even more confident now they'll knock it out of the park than I was and I've said here many times I expected GF to shut a fair few people up with its launch.
