graphic looks ass

 

[AetherZX]

Seeing a bike motif between both mascots, guess the leaks were true then.

 

[Valedix]

Spoiler: HE CHONK

 

[Saber]

This electric type reminds me of a beta pokemon from Silver/Gold beta mons. The presentation wasn't as bad as I though. But the Legendaries are a perfect example of either laziness or just tiredness of designs.

 

[Punished Miku]

We already have a Scarlet thread.

This can be the Violet thread though.

 

[Valedix]

ah ok lol this can be closed then

 

[Kssio_Aug]

 

[Skifi28]

Looks like Pokemon, I guess.

 

[tmlDan]

this trailer basically showcased nothing new.......same old game - boring.

 

[Belthazar]

God that's butt ugly... I didn't think they they would give less than 10 months of a gap between games. That's insane.

The fanbase will eat it up as usual, so they're not wrong of putting so little effort on those.

 

[Markio128]

I believe they are developing Father Ted inspired Pokémon games called Pokémon Feck and Pokémon Arse.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Those legendaries are ugly as hell. Cute starters tho.

 

[chromhound]

So i might be right with the type for the legendaries

- Dragon / Fighting
- Dragon / Electric

 

[Kuranghi]

You mixed up the names of the starters, clearly the pig one is Lechonk and Smoliv is the one with the... olive.

I really like these designs, Smoliv all the way for me since I love olives so much, I've about to spread some mashed up Smolivs on my toast.

 

[kraspkibble]

can gamefreak not afford voice actors?

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Mattyp]

I have no idea what I’m even looking at anymore, I’ll just keep playing gen 1 & 2 for eternity. When you become the fucking boomer.

 

[kraspkibble]

i was drawn more to scarlet but that legendary pokemon confirms it. the one with the pixel eyes. the violet one looks trash.

the graphics are awful and lack of voice acting sucks but i'll pick it up anyway. i need a good pokemon game.

 

[chromhound]

Sprigatito's evolution: Grass / Dark
Fuecoco's evolution: Fire / Ghost
Quaxly's evolution: Water / Fighting

 

[kraspkibble]

gen 1 + 2 are god tier. there have been some games i've enjoyed since but i always keep going back to r/b/y/g/s/c and hg/ss.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

yikes. this IP has lost all its charm and style.

 

[R6Rider]

can gamefreak not afford voice actors?

On the older titles it wasn't a problem, but it's just really weird now.

The overall lack of sound in general is weird.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Both Legendaries look awesome but fuck me ... LECHONK hahahahaha what a name

 

[belmarduk]

Looks amazing.
Can't wait to get it!

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I persisted until the 3DS titles, but now I can't anymore. Seriously, they need to shake things up... Switch is capable of way better looking games. They still not even bother with voice acting. This trialer was...

I know Game Freak will not move a finger to change it though. I'm sure the game still gonna sell like hotcakes.

 

[kraspkibble]

Both Legendaries look awesome but fuck me ... LECHONK hahahahaha what a name

le chonky boi

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Those textures remind me of the time when I was ten years old...

(I'll still buy the game, Nintendo always wins)

 

[StateofMajora]

I'm glad I don't have to buy Pokemon anymore.

Actually I still have sun and moon to play through at some point. Skipped sword and shield though.

 

[LucasBR]

Is it Pokemon or Digimon? Jeez I really miss the "classics", this doesn't look good imo

 

[AetherZX]

what the hell is happening here

 

[Spaceman292]

Main takeaways: Lechonk is a funny name and I want Professor Sada to sit on my face

 

[LordCBH]

Inject it into my veins.

 

[Rykan]

Is it Open World? it kinda looks that way to me

 

[AetherZX]

Is it Open World? it kinda looks that way to me

yes, with free reign to tackle it in any order you'd like.

 

[Fake]

graphic looks ass

Ass usual.

 

[ManaByte]

Nintendo this fall:

Seriously, they need to shake things up...

The game has co-op multiplayer for the first time. It's almost a mini Pokemon MMO. How is that not shaking things up?

I guess thats the trade-off from moving away from arceus’ battle/catching system.

But i for one approve of this

Pokemon GIGACHAD and Pokemon SNUSNU.

 

[GymWolf]

what the hell is happening here

They dropped the ball with this brand.

 

[Saber]

Pokemon GIGACHAD and Pokemon SNUSNU.

Wait...is the female professor some kind of presthorical person? Lol

 

[Draugoth]

what the hell is happening here

The power of the nintendo switch in all it's glory

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

graphic looks ass

I’m a gameplay, art direction player over graphics any day. But that’s assuming you hit the minimum requirement of acceptability. If there wasn’t so much aliasing and pop in I could put up with it. But knowing this will be sub 30fps, probably dynamic 1080 just makes me wish gamefreak was a 3rd party. Just make the same exact game on unreal 3 or 4.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Wait...is the female professor some kind of presthorical person? Lol

I assumed just weird fashion tastes to tie in with legendary.

 

[jaysius]

It's 2022, and there's NO voice acting, the ground textures look like something from PS3, and that CGI bullshit at the end is close to something we could expect if ANYBODY ELSE made this game on a machine with real power.

 

[kevm3]

This is seriously ps2 level of graphics

 

[StateofMajora]

I wish Nintendo would sign a developer to make an Pokemon colosseum/xD style game again. Limit the Pokemon to the first 4/5 generations but have a cool world/character design.

I at least wish we got a Pokemon battle revolution 2 for 5th gen back in the day but nah..

There are some mobile developers with more talent than gamefreak and that's pretty unbelievable. I get it it's just a cash cow for Nintendo at this point but you'd think they'd have a little more pride in it.

 

[CosmicComet]

Professor Gigachad

 

[CosmicComet]

Also Gamefreak has to have the highest ratio of success (practically unrivaled) vs talent (among the lowest ever outside of random mobile devs) that I've ever seen in gaming.

 

[The_hunter]

I skipped the last two pokemon games, I might get this one, since it has co-op. The fun of pokemon games for me are the new designs.
