Have we finally reached graphics good enough for people to leave 2D sprites behind?

These are unironically the first games to look as good in 3D as the old games looked in 2D.

Pokemon never had the most realistic or rich-in-fidelity art, but it had wonderful character and charm in the older gens which was lost in the conversion, until now.

I think the realistic bg/cartoonish but not cell characters looks ugly.

It only took 15 years but we finally have a 3D Pokemon game with PS2-level fidelity bros

Every single 3D game looks better than BW.

GRAFIX are fine, but the art direction isn't
The people the environment and the pokemon are all in a different art style

I like how the gen 5 screenshot is just a garbage looking 3D environment with poorly scaled sprites tacked onto it yet spritetards will tell you with a straight face that it looks good while screeching about 3D

People getting fooled by trailer cutscene footage are making me bang my head on a wall full nails, specially since you can clearly see the dogshit ps2 texture SV mountains and barren forest anyway

It's good enough now.
People seem to forget pokemon's pixel graphics were behind other gba/ds games at the time

That said this is a trailer scene and not the in game experience so it might still look bad when we actually get it
The bigger issue is it needs to be optimized or the game's gonna run like shit again

Gen 3 is the one with the best 2D visuals though
