"@Manga_Kamen Hows zAs presentation (aside from the bafflingly silent yet well-animated cinematic cutscenes) not cheap Even Sword and Shield the very games lambasted in the video I shared has better battle presentation than zA. Even Legends Arceus has better presentation than Sc/Vi and zA"

"@Manga_Kamen They move in a more stilted manner than the party members in Xenoblade on the Wii from 2010. In all the footage Ive seen Pokmon very frequently end up flickering different directions every frame a phenomenon I havent seen since Sonic 06"

"@Tectone It looks WORSE than Legends Arceus a Switch X game. Im glad I left the series behind back in 2014. This series was always adequate for pocket consoles like the GB/GBA/DS and was passable on 3DS. But on Switch Pokmon is shovelware next to Persona X and the Xenoblade trilogy"

"@inth3nearfuture @Verliswolf @Tectone Sw/Sh completely bungled the scaling where giant Pokmon like Wailord (47 feet in generations 1-5) is depicted as X feet like the 3DS games Pokmon (of all types) pop out of the ground less than XX feet from the player and Pokmon like Wingull hover lifelessly with no flapping"

"@SagaFraga @Tectone Back in 2022 XC & XC2 pulled me up out of 5yrs of burnout on all of gaming (which was caused by burnouts on Pokmon/CoD/Halo/Sonic and having to permanently walk away from those franchises) Now Im over those losses and am the happiest with games that Ive been in XX years"

"@ThomasDonadei @Tectone I dont understand how others love persists. Pokmon was my whole life from my childhood with Pokmon Red all the way up to freshman year of college with Pokmon White X. But X was too enormous a regression for me so I made Alpha Sapphire my final outing with the series in 2014"

"@Tubbernaut @TheDavidVinc Nobodys asking for hyper-realism. Heck the realistic environments are what stops me from immersing myself in Palworld All I ever needed from Pokmon was something like this (below) at 720p/1080p 30fps while the games were actually getting right now are trash even at 4K 60fps"

"@NotSylviarill @NikuTheMeat @Rotomize @ShitpostRock If it maintains 30fps it still doesn't save zA as it's a visual downgrade from Arceus especially in how battles are presented. The cinematic cutscenes are well animated. But that lack of VA makes me think they should have stuck to only overworld dialogue like Arceus"

"@NikuTheMeat @NotSylviarill @Rotomize @ShitpostRock Style can and does influence how visuals can be an upgrade or downgrade. The battle presentation in zA looks almost looks more like League of Legends/Dota than where the series was originally headed from the GameCube spin-offs/PBR and Gens 6-8"

"@NikuTheMeat @NotSylviarill @Rotomize @ShitpostRock Switch X is a literal non-argument. This is like when PUBG came out looking like an early XXX game on Xbox One but ran at 15fps yet people praised it to the moon and back because it ran well on PCs with GTX 1080s. The art style is worse than Arceus no matter the resolution/fps"

"@NotSylviarill @NikuTheMeat @Rotomize @ShitpostRock There is a minimum threshold though. I can appreciate (even love) retro graphical styles when theyre deliberate like indies inspired by Game Boy or N64 or Dreamcast. But zA looks CHEAP. Below is what TPC envisioned of Pokmon Battle Revolution in 2005:"

"@Manga_Kamen Battle Revolution was a Wii game hence the plastic appearance. The video I shared was a concept teaser rendered on then-cutting-edge PCs as the Nintendo Revolutions specs hadnt been revealed to be the Wiis final GameCube XXX specs yet. We have not surpassed 360/PS3 yet"

"@Manga_Kamen How does it look horrible Many JRPGs today have lighting/shading like this (but maintaining cel-shaded characters) while mainline Pokmon has always looked cartoony in the most unflattering way These animations have fluidity while mainline Pokmon is snappy in a stilted way"

"@IuckyHD So you started playing after the series went 3D; you wont be able to understand why some fans who loved gens 1-5 stopped being fans after Gen X and then the franchise started hemorrhaging fans with SwSh establishing Dexit and the influx of people hating the graphics really began"

"@IuckyHD Im not gonna shit on you for that. Nobody deserves hate for the kinds of games they like. But consider that the hate people feel for newer Pokemon games comes from the love for games that neither Game Freak or ANY developer is making anymore and hasnt made for a very long time"

"@Smash64Link @maejpg_ Literally we are in the worst of both worlds. To ppl who care about graphics this is worse than PS2 games. But if you say Pokmon graphics shouldnt look good then I want a new sprite-based entry on modern hardware looking like a refinement of what B2/W2 was doing"

"@IuckyHD Ive gone through this with Sonic fans. I used to catch heat for loving the 2000s games because Sonic in 3D wasnt what people who grew up with Sonic in the 90s wanted. Now Im with those OG fans against any 3D Sonic game post-Generations. Now Pokemon has the same divide"

"@Danyx855 @maejpg_ Even on NS2 zA looks inferior to Sword/Shield (a game I already thought looked worse than most NS1 games) Sony fans would be absolutely livid if there was a PS4 game that looked like a PS2 game but got praise because of performance boosts and minor visual upgrades on PS5"

"@Tdog267 @ChuunibyouGuild @ShitpostRock I was so repulsed as far back as X/Y Alpha Sapphire ended up my final mainline entry with the franchise.

"@NikuTheMeat @Rotomize @ShitpostRock This all is a horrific insult to the Switch X. Never have I seen such incompetence from a major developer that the Switch X is required for a Switch X game which looks like a PS2 (not even GameCube) game to not run like trash"

"@BoTalksGames Nintendos not the problem. Its just Pokmon and has been for the Switchs entire life and continues on We get graphics worse than colosseum/XD at 4K/60fps when all I ever needed from the main series reaching home console was something like this (below) at 720p/1080p 30fps"

"@NikuTheMeat @NotSylviarill @Rotomize @ShitpostRock Style can and does influence how visuals can be an upgrade or downgrade. The battle presentation in zA looks almost looks more like Pokmon Unite than where the series was originally headed from the GameCube spin-offs/PBR and Gens 6-8"

"@MarauderMK42 @maejpg_ Pokmon gens 1-5 were for all ages. But when they made the party-wide Exp share mandatory and made much of SwShs campaign a hand-holding experience where NPCs dialogue can fast-travel you to the next place to advance the story thats when I knew Pokmon was now for children"

"@MarauderMK42 @dantesleg @maejpg_ That changed though. In gens 1-5 their demographic was wider. In gen X and X they attempted to appeal to over-12s with darker storylines and older protags But from SwSh on that 5-12 aim became more overt. Ironically more adults play now than ever when gens 8/9 are so infantile"
