Will GameFreak ever update the models for gen 1-5 mons?

All the models are fine. A few could use livelier animations, but most are fine in that department too.

If there is a Switch entry next year, they better have higher res textures prepped.

They could use some more sathration too and I noticed some arent the correct hue.btw wasnt ditto always pink? Now its purple. Is it just me who remembers it being pink? Its like berenstain bears all over again

They're already high-res. Too high-res for the 3DS to handle.

They've got models that are higher quality than the ones used in Wii games on the 3DS, which is about on par with the Wii's predecessor, the Gamecube, in terms of power.

That's why the framerate drops when there are multiple models on screen.

The models are fine, it's being displayed on a 240p screen that makes them look shit. If you've seen them extracted from the game in videos they actually look good since they've made them so high poly they won't have to redo them for decades. That's why the game lags on 3DS so badly. Gen 8 on Switch will use the same models but it'll look far better being on a 720p display. The animations could be better though, they seem lazy a lot of the time but those aren't as difficult to do as whole new models when you're dealing with like 10,000 polys.

Some gen 6 pokemon need to be updated too, like Chesnaught and Delphox.

>>30838446
What do you mean? Like how they added light green tips to Oddish's leafs?

>>30838983
Still, the Gen 6 and 7 Pokemon have a poly count higher than Gen 1-5 on average.

Ever since I saw some battles on X/Y I felt like the new Textures were a downgrade compared to the traditional 2D Sprites, the difference in the palettes used is just way to fucking big.

>>30838983
The Wii one looks way better

>>30838574
I, really, really hate sky battles. That godforsaken feature ruined half the flyers.

>>30839979
theres like 6 battles and they ruined 600 models for it

>>30838983
>>30838489
TEXTURES =/= MODELS
ANIMATIONS =/= MODELS
FUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>30838574
Damn, i forgot how nice Salamence looks when it's on the ground, looks much more menacing.

>>30838446

the way I see it, if you're not in the alola dex you're a bonus pokemon. Not worth the effort of needing a massive update if only a few players will even bother to use them.

>>30840028
god I can't get over how retarded xatu looks now

>>30838446
Models are fine, they need to fix animations and certain poses.

Just think, if Oricorio was introduced in Gen 6 all 4 of its forms would be gliding in place.

>>30838446
If they do it will be only be for mons featured in said game's regional dex.


Meaning starters are likely not getting updates.

>>30839702
I like sprites better than models too..

Gen v was the tops as far as that goes. It was still good ol' 2d pixel love, but without being static images. I wish they'd have kept that going at least one more gen.

>>30840092

you're right, but the models made from Gen 6 and gen 7 have higher polycount than the ones on the wii, meaning, they have better quality, which makes the 3ds struggle after a few of them appear on screen

>>30838446
Why did you post an example of a model that is a huge improvement over the sprite?

>>30843711
>>30839702

Yeah, shitty flash tweens and thumb-sized pixels on the back sprites were way better than actual models with animations and interactions, why can't things stay the way they were when you were a kid :C

The colors are atrocious. The idle animations could be better too. But the models themselves are passable (for the most part)

>>30839163
No matter how much they change they'll still be ugly as fuck.

I'll never forgive them for making Lugia such a fucking fatass. What's with Gamefreak always making pokemon fat?

>it's another /vp/ doesn't know the difference between 3d meshes, textures, animations and shaders thread

>>30844073
it's the barney syndrome. remember barney the dinosaur? for some reason, lumbering hulks of muscle and horns and scales are hard to market to children under a certain age, but if you give them a fat tummy then you can get pokemon to them while they're suuuuuuper impressionable.

>>30844028
Those bright thick colors don't work with 3D, it hurts my eyes

>>30844162
absolutely wrong

Someone doesn't understand pre-Gen 6 shinies and/or graphics.

>>30844558
I know about it
But they still could have made the fire purple, it wouldn't be hard

>tfw not 6'11" anymore
Snorlax is now a manlet. Fuck those models.

>>30845492
Not really, because that's not how shinies work.

>update some of the "floating" models for the flying pokemon
>Give some Pokemon better shiny colorations (looking at shit like Garchomp and the Chansey line)

>>30839163
Fuck off, these shitmons don't deserve shit.

>>30840265
Nothing will ever top "We forgot to take it out of the T-pose" Xatu.
