Can we take a moment to talk about the overall quality of character/Pokemon

better than 6 with the washed out colors and super zoomed in pixels

What you're seeing is what the Switch game is going to look like. And it's going to be great.

On top of the higher quality models, the move animations have also been improved.

Maybe someday we'll finally return to Gen 3 Console levels of quality.

I love Passimian's intro and faint animations

>>30181175
Why is everybody so dead set on S/M being on Switch? Does anybody not know how Game Freak works?

>>30181233
The next gen will *probably* be on the switch, if I were a betting man I'd say the next entry won't be (knowing gamefreak).

The Pokemon models are actually fairly high quality if you look at the models. And I am pretty sure the models are scaled down from the original files to fit in the 3DS.

If the game had higher resolution and Pokemon had better textures they would look great.

Looking at the shader they're using, it definitely seems like they've tried to mimic their art work which has worked surprisingly well.

too bad everything lags to hell when more than 2 pokemon are fighting. everything went to shit when they switched to 3d. better quality sprites would have been more pure

Overworld looks much much nicer than gen 6

Battle models look the same, but that's not a bad thing

The camera work is also much better. The screen is less busy and they zoom in a bit more to frame the new environments better with larger pokemom models in the foreground.

It's basically exactly what I expected - Odd number they make new things that are interesting but a bit flawed, Even number they refine the previously introduced features and its much better.

>he doesn't know

>>30181233
Because there's already rumors (apparently reliable ones) that GameFreak is making a Pokemon game for Switch, and GF doesn't make spinoff games.

The new animations are nice too.
Every Pokemon get a new refresh animation, a walk and run animation. On top of a few others for specific Pokemon.
Also everything that isn't a limb or generic body part is called a Feeler in the Pokemon files.

Its pretty interesting looking at all the Pokemon models.

If only.

The model standard was set with Gen 6, where they were ridiculously high polycount even though it's completely unnecessary. Ditto is the lowest which is still about 2000 triangles. Volcanion (in gen 6 anyways) tops the retardedness at 11,000.

It's futureproofing so they don't have to make new models in future games.

>>30181642
It's pretty impressive and smart if they really are finally going to do console releases.

>>30181663
depends. Look at Volcanion's claws and how many triangles there are. It's complete overkill.

>>30181682
Even on a mainline Nintendo console that would perhaps raise an eyebrow, let alone the 3DS haha.

>>30181642
If you really look at those models you can see that they have been downscale as well.

The models in game are perfectly smoothed yet the models you rip are quite jaggy. So they oblivious have high res models used to generate the normal maps.

Plus if you turn the triangles into quads you can see that a subdivision would perfectly make it have detail without it being overkill.

And then look at stuff from promotional art. They wouldn't remake models for one advert, so they do have pretty high res models in their computers or whatever. I just hope we see them in full detail.

>>30181738
haha wonder what they smell like, haha

>>30181809
The consoles or the eyebrows?

>>30181859
volcanions claws, just for laughs haha

I will want a Colosseum 3 until the day I die

They're going to continue looking the same. Gamefreak attempted to future proof when they did the modelling for X/Y by making them high poly as fuck. We're using these models for a long, long time.
