Pokemon’s wireframe city looks like shit. What are they even on? Any internet 3d animator could have made that and people would probably say it looks boring and uninspired. I’m curious to see what the cultist level fans have to say about it. Personally I still don’t think they ever have or will outdo gold and silver. None of the following games could hold me for more than a couple of gyms.

Metroid I didn’t watch the video because I haven’t finished 3 and was planning to run through all of them but I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

The Pokemon Company has been absolutely awful lately. I really wish Nintendo would light a fire under TPC’s ass, because the last few generations of mainline games have been uninspired, empty games riddled with performance issues that are inexcusable for a $60+ game from a long-standing brand. It’s sad to see the garbage that today’s fans are expected to enjoy.

I don’t know about uninspired, Scarlet/Violet is a great game at its core. It’s just a shame that it was so obviously rushed and the resulting technical imperfections overshadow the gameplay for many.

Yeah, that’s been my issue with the series since Sun & Moon, though I’m sure a lot of people probably felt it a bit earlier than I did. It feels like the art and direction teams are still performing very strongly, but the actual development side of things is where everything falls apart. There’s no reason why a Switch can run Doom at 30 FPS but it can’t play a Pokemon game above 10.

The Pokemon Company doesn’t make games. Gamefreak does and they have been awful for a long long time.

I’m not going to say the game will look good, knowing how Legends Arceus turned out, but maybe wait for them to release a single screenshot of the game before making assumptions about what it will look like?
