>>38840632re: graphics: i just really don't care. i mean, i think they are bad, but thats never really broken a game for me. i understand that point of view though, and i respect that some people are put off by it. but reading thousands of complaints on /vp/ about it is a) tiring, and b) from how people talk about it often you can tell they dont really know what they're talking about. an example is people complaining about the models and saying gamefreak needs to redo them, or people saying the slight shading differences between gen 7 and 8 are like huge graphical changes and different models etc.
flat trees, copy pasted clouds, uhhhh idk what else people even complain about, its all kind of whatever. gamefreak SHOULD do better but it wont ruin the games for me. the one bad thing to me is the new in battle UI looks ridiculously badly done to me. i hope they change that before release though i wont be surprised if they don't.
as for the trainers, we haven't seen that much yet, but i think they're going towards a more loose and kiddie style like the SM anime. i'm also personally fine with that, and some of them are ridiculous, but pokemon games are often at their best being a bit ridiculous, so i'm okay with that too.
