Why do you care about graphics so much? They were the least of the problems in Sword and Shield, and were only one insofar as they added insult to injury given the state of those games. PLA may very well turn out to be shit, but not because of its graphics.

because if all other aspects of the game are going to be mediocre as fuck outside of the core concept then it should at least be good graphically. The inverse is also true

Simply put Pokemon is the highest profit franchise on the fucking planet, but so little of it is put into making the games it's offensive.

Because this series is the highest grossing franchise in the world and every recent game has been low effort with how many recycled assets they use. You would think they would at least compensate with something, but no.

because game freak now uses them as an excuse to cut corners and release even lazier products than they already did. and the games are still ugly as fuck regardless.

they said they were scaling back on the dex to "work on graphics and animations". instead we got N64-tier graphics graphics and models standing around during a punch or kick animation and shooting water from their foreheads, no turn around animations, characters clenching their fists "clapping", etc.
I mean, the production values are worse than a budget digimon game.

Nothing she's saying here is wrong. Pokemon has been graphically unimpressive in every generation. Criticizing it on these grounds is like being mad about its font kerning, it's something the game must have but not something they put major resources into.
I think the real reason Legends is getting so much graphical critique is that antis know they're losing the gameplay fight. There are too many people genuinely curious to try the new model. GF might fuck it up, no one here will disagree that it's their specialty, but the chance that it might be fun is too strong, so none of those insults gain any traction in threads

more in depth gameplay changes are stuff only nerds can care about
ugly graphics are visible to everyone
even if you "dont play pokemon for the graphics" these games are still fucking ugly, especially with how much money they make, thats not a controversial opinion and only shills will defend it by trying to deflect and say graphics actually dont matter

I like how the fact Game Freak said they were focusing on high quality graphics and animations after the dexcut was announced has been memory holed by half the fanbase. No shit people are going to focus on it more after you say something like that.

No one expects AAA-level eye-candy. It's just that having a creature with cannons attached to its shell shoot water out of its forehead feels awful. If it we were talking about low-res sprites, it wouldn't look nearly as out of place.
Hell, characters in the overworld don't even clap or do handshakes. And don't forget the moonwalking legendary dogs in swsh.

ah yes, the "new model" that's an even dumber, emptier version of the old model.

The reason 90% of anti/bait threads talk about graphics almost exclusively is because it’s the only point they have to stand on, every other gameplay criticism is dismissed because they outright disagree, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

It's not just the graphics though, it's everything. The art-style, the animations, the gameplay itself, it's all so lackluster and bad.

i don't care about the graphics at all
but i would like animations that make the pokemon have personality like back in coliseum (2002) or battle revolution (2006) i would also want pokemon scaling back from lets go (2018)
but it's always 1 step forward 2 steps back with pokemon games

The gameplay has remained largely the same for 25 years. Battles still play out like they do on gameboy, even down to reading out the move before playing animations. The level and region design has degraded to the point of being little more than a series of straightlines exacerbated by characters with robotic animations constantly telling you where to go. They've so far done absolutely nothing new in regards to exploration or character movement.
If they won't improve on any of the aforementioned, what excuse due they have to not improve graphics? Video games are visual medium, if they're not going to significantly change gameplay, or improve what's already there, then the least they can do is make the games look nice. There's no reason for a game series as big as this to look worse than games that came years before it on the same system. Not now, not in past, not ever.

Why would they have to? Aren't you ok with sprite-based games? The main shortcoming in current gens visually has been an appalling lack of polish.

i dont care much, but its just so sad seeing the other games and what we could have with pokemon. fantastic looking games come out every year, even if its not high-res, but pokemon has just been looking cheap. Keep in mind this is the biggest franchise on the planet and they could absolutely do better if they actually tried.

but wind waker has a consistent artstyle that is deliberately stylized. just like breath of the wild, it doesnt have photorealistic textures but looks polished. Photorealism isnt what people want, its polish. If you played the newer pokemon games, you probably noticed stuff like the horrible oveworld animations or texture tiling. If zelda, another big but way smaller franchise, can do t this well, why cant this one?

I just want the highest grossing media franchise to stick to their word when they cut content for the sake of graphical quality. I'm tired of pretending like devs can't afford to have fun gameplay AND good graphics. Is it really that bad to want best of both worlds from a company that is more than capable to give both?
