The graphics in this game are straight up unacceptable. Many of the areas have almost no ground clutter to break up large, basic looking textures. With the resources the Pokémon franchise has, this is a disgrace
The problem with this release is that Game Freak wanted to release the games with the new show series, hence the issues. I completely agree that it should've stayed in development for a little longer to improve appearance and performance. I'm 6-8hrs in and have experienced some frame drops, visual bugs, texture pop, and camera angle issues (sometimes it has a mind of its own..). And even though I'm enjoying the game, please don't take this as defending or excusing the messy launch. I think that if enough people complain about the performance issues (even though we shouldn't have to..), the game will get fixed.
I really think this is a miss. Honestly I haven't had performance issues like how you described. And I get that the graphics of the terrain and such are legitimately very bad, but the models for the Pokemon look really good in this new game. Maybe my version is different from review versions or some such but I really enjoy the game. I cannot say your points are not valid, but I will say there is more merit to this game than you let on.
I’d much rather wait a year and half or 2 for a decent Pokémon game. I honestly feel like Nintendo rushed GameFreak to get this game out the door, finished or not. Hopefully they can patch this game to a degree.
Games aren't passion projects anymore /: if pokemon didn't get created over 20+ years ago then it would never be so in depth. But this release is a reflection of the state of the industry/: it's sad.
It’s been years since I played a Pokémon game and I really wanted this to be good. I could look past the performance issues, but I can’t stand the art direction itself. It’s bland smooth and colorful at the same time. Imagine if they chose an art direction like octopath traveller HD 16bit. The switch is not powerful so if you’re gonna make a game look good on it, you need to be creative.
Nintendo: How do we milk our consumers this time Nintendo:Lets make a new pokemon game. Use as lil effort Nintendo:Also cute back on quality, also rush it out, also don't worry Nintendo:Why does everyone complain about this game its the same thing we did with sword&shield?
It’s not just Pokémon… I’m so exhausted, games are unfinished, unpolished piles of garbage. This year has been FULL of them. Is this what gaming has become, really? Taking our money and handing us trash. Shame on these devs and whoever else is in charge
I miss when gamefreak would make their games challenging with pitch black caves needing you to have a Pokémon with flash to gym leaders being super fun and challenging. Mainstream pokemon games after X/Y have really gone down hill :(:(
Ive played and beatwn arceous… i dont want anpther arceous clone… they were said to be building on top of arceousand adding alot more new elements. There isnt much that they seemingly added… better yet it looks like they took some thi gs out that worked better in arceous like dungeons.
I always set the standart for a pokemon game on the Bar of Zelda breath of the wild. Sure that game had a few problems with the framerate in some woods. But it is the game i always say "they did that five years ago" These games are missing art and geometry direction. For the environment they just look like unity games. Boring flats everywhere.

11.12.2022Wasn't breath of the wild better in term of graphics and bigger while still having "stable 30fps"?
Or am I missing something.

07.12.2022You can't blame the switch for the glitches and other bad stuff, Zelda breath of the wild, is older and was amazing as hell 👌

07.12.2022Below 30 fps has been normal for pokemon games. I wouldn't mind it. It's never been about fps.

07.12.2022I think they should have stuck to sword and shield formula of world build. Imo the game looks nice and runs great but this looks like a downgrade
