If the graphical fidelity and the animations in the trailer are actually in-game, then I suspect we’ve already seen at least half of the Pokémon that will be available, in this trailer.
Pretty generic and forgettable starter designs. It’s getting harder and harder, of course, but even the previous generation’s were vastly superior. The only detail I really like is the panting dog tongue of the Fire starter, the other two have nothing going for them.
Looks nice, but seems to be Switch 2 exclusive.
Good. No point releasing new hardware if you’re not going to take advantage of it.
Not having the game hindered by switch 1 hardware (and probably devkit) will sure be an improvement
In 2027, it better be.
Would you trust another pokemon game on the Switch 1 after Scarlet and Violet?
Do you really think hardware has anything to do with how crap S and V is?
I am especially surprised that Nintendo hasn’t figured out that more hardware does not equal more fun.
Why would you ever expect anything else?
Well, mianly because this generation we kept getting PS4 games even from first party for many years. And also Pokémon is kind of it’s own thing in Nintendo’s lineup, and generally plays with different rules.
Thank god. It’s been 3/4 of a year, and we’ve got what? 2 so far?
Finally some good looking graphics in a Pokémon game
Getting Sun & Moon vibes.
I heard someone else say the same thing. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
U S/M are good games with many content. But as a old generation player, the map feels very restricted and slow walking, and almost all Pokémon games later follow the same design. I miss huge cities with no loading times and many characters to interact with and many of them having something to offer to the experience. Now Pokémon cities feels empty.
They were the last good games
Ok, some people didn’t like the gameplay, setting etc… due to personal preference, but the games were undeniably good from a technical standpoint (regarding the 3ds hardware they ran on)
For me, Sun and Moon, well Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were the last Pokémon I actually enjoyed, despite being pretty handholdy in the first few hours. Trailer for Winds and Waves is honestly the first time I’ve felt positive about a mainline Pokémon game since Legends Arceus.
The water looks so good!
Interesting! I haven’t played a Pokemon game since Sword and Shield, but I’m liking the setting here. And it looks a little bit more graphically impressive than previous instalments?
And it looks a little bit more graphically impressive than previous instalments?
Definitely, but anything else would have been very disappointing. They have much more hardware power at their disposal compared to Switch 1 after all. I don’t know if I’d say that these are impressive graphics by Switch 2 standards, but they’re finally at a point where they look nice, which is ultimatey all that matters.
Yeah, I’m sure the Switch 2 is capable of much more. Mario Kart World looks really pretty, and they managed to get FF7 Rebirth running on it. So I’m sure the Pokemon devs could do a lot better really - but by their standards it’s an improvement at least.
I really doubt those are in game graphics.
From 1:31 onwards?
Yeah, it just looks too good to me, given their track record. I’d be happy to be wrong though.
Keep in mind that this is much more powerful hardware than what previous games were running on.
But then again, there are much better looking games running on the Switch than any Pokemon.
Hmm at least pokemon seldom released trailer with unrealistic graphic, so i would believe it look like that. And it looks alright, so far, but anyways not mind blowing in my opinion. Which would be enough for me if everything else is alright as well
It looks nice, but it’s still generations behind in terms of what a studio that big and with that much money should be able to do in such a long development time. I’d rather have them keep it small and simple but improve on a lot of QoL stuff than try fancy things that are prone to break and be forgotten easily.
