Give pokemon the megaman 9 treatment, and go back to the GBA 2D hoenn graphics. Pokemon should cut back on the graphics so they can focus on adding in more features, and making the game more fun. It's about the fun of the game, not the graphics. It's a video game, not an art gallery. I would much rather play a game with shit graphics, and have it be fun rather than a game with good graphics, and not fun at all. Because let's be honest, making pixel art, making the game using pixels instead of polygons would be much easier You can focus on fun features more, like a bigger battle frontier with online, a national dex, a safari zone, better route design, a difficulty setting, good online features, etc. So in gen 9, they should cut back on the graphics, and leave out major gimmicks like megas, z-moves, and dynamax.

Go educate yourself.

GSC style graphics. 4 colors only. Make it so that the game can only use 16 MB ram max.

>Polygons You have to design each polygon, make lower polygonal versions, and make animations all taking up a longer amount of time making a on model design.

>>46165131 I don't think 3d is the actual problem with the games, its the fact that gamefreak keeps making 2d games in 3d
I think pokemon could truly shine in 3d, with each route being a mini wild area of sorts, and the games scale would be more like the anime with large areas with lots to do. Gamefreak is so incompetent along with the horrible time crunch they have to suffer because of the higher ups, the games have never been able to reach their potential, no matter 2d or 3d.

>>46165169 Exactly, if you cut back on the graphics, you can focus on the fun features of the game.

>>46165185 You say this despite one of the major complaints about SwSh being lackluster graphics already. Downgrading them further in gen 9 would not help. It just makes the game look outdated.

>>46165199 Yeah, if they make better graphics, it will lead to more omissions. Everything except the Kanto shillmon would be cut at this rate. Good graphics? With the time crunch gamefreak has? Get real. You can't have your cake, and eat it too. You can either have a game with bad graphics with a lot of features, or good graphics with little features that are watered down. DESU I would rather have a fun game with bad graphics, just like how minecraft was.

>>46165131 Did you miss the ORAS interview? The Battle Frontier was cut on purpose since they think most people don't bother playing it anyway. And routes are more linear now since they think kids might get lost and drop the game if they're challenged to think at all. And they don't want a complete national dex so they can sell Pokemon Home subscriptions. Pretty much everything you mentioned is just them not wanting to do things rather than being unable to do them.

>>46165228 That's not gamefreaks fault, blame TPC, those are the assholes that are being greedy, and making almost all of the money, not gamefreak.

>>46165245 GameFreak makes up a third of the parties that created TPC, the others being Nintendo and Creatures.

>>46165257 Well... I mean... I guess? But even then, gamefreak is constantly on a time crunch now that a generation happens every three years instead of four. Every three years they are under a lot of pressure with the anime coming to a close, a game being out for quite some time, the hype, speculation, and impatience of the excited fans, the higher ups bullying them into releasing the games early, the attempt at making wonderful graphics so IGN doesn't complain like a bitch, and give it a bad rep by giving it a low score. Yeah, of course the games SW/SH turned out to be rushed, and shit, which is why cutting back on the graphics is better than dexit.
