Pokemon Switch

Skyward Sword sucked.

Either like Pokken, or that other arcade game that's named Ga-Ole. Might take a third option and really try hard to emulate Sugimori's art style, but I don't think they're going to do that.

Like Sun/Moon with a slightly higher resolution and better textures
If you're expecting more than that, lower your expectations now because you WILL be disappointed

Ideally Pokemon Battle Revolution at a minimum.

Aslong as framerate is good. It's good

>>33065367

>>33065401
You have extremely low standards. PBR is like a decade old by now, it should look much better than that.

SM visual style but with battle model fidelity at all times and much better environments graphically, as actual video game levels the environments will be just as bad

also even higher quality samples of the Pokemon models that will make the Switch lag just as hard as the 3DS

>>33065417

It's also GF we're talking about here and they're going to balance their hardware needs around the assumption that people will mainly be playing Pokemon on the go.

I think the best we can expect is it to look like Dragon Quest VIII did on the PS2

I want it to look at least half as good as Dragon Ball FighterZ

>>33065506
Not happening

>>33065511
let me dream, damnit

>>33065498
I could accept that if it also has pokemon appearing on the field just like DQ8

>>33065498
This. Best case scenario, long stretches of wide open routes between towns but very few of them branch to another.

can they actually scale the pokemon properly this time? That's my favorite thing about the console games.

"That's when we realized that people don't have time to care about graphics, they want a genuine pokémon adventure that is not too taxing on their time. We understand this from games like "angry birds" or "minecraft", where graphics don't have any importance. So, we went for a really basic graphic that is not too taxing on the eyes or on the system itself. Have fun.
Almost forgot, no battle facility either :^) "
- Masuda-san, interviewed in 2019

>>33065535
that is probably one of the things I want most
there is no reason for Vileplume to be as big as Wailord
plus it's fun watching tiny pokemon beat the shit out of giants and vice versa

>>33065535
I wanna see Celesteela true to size and a physics engine to show drastic weight differences.

What moron at GF thought this was okay?

>>33065685
The mildly intelligent person who knew that with some Pokemon at full scale on this low res screen and shit hardware there would be many problems, so they have the game scale down the already properly proportioned models so everything is properly visible.

>>33065539
haha XD

>>33065622
Lucky trainer getting some hot whale pussy.

>>33065400
This. I don't know why people set themselves up to be disappointed. They will use the same high poly Pokémon models from gens 6+7 but with higher res textures. Expect the art style to remain largely the same, just with textures better suited to a higher res display.

Considering the current games already look better, of course it won't look that shit.

Not bait, FighterZ just looks bad.

>>33065539
On that he'd be right.

A consistent frame rate is all that's required. "Good graphics" are a nonsense term because they're subjective just like every other opinion in existence.

What matters is fun and it not being a slideshow because that's not fun.

Recently they have been doing actual games people actually want what with Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Prime 4 etc

So it's not unrealistic to assume they will make Gamefreak make a brand new gen in a traditional game style for Switch

>>33068389
>people actually want like with Breath of the Wild

I didn't ask for this walking simulator.

>>33068389
Nintendo get do shit to gamefreak. Sales are amazing

>>33068389
Why would they, Pokemon print money by not doing anything.

>>33065367
That looks terrible.

Here's my 100% accurate list of things I know for sure the new pokemon game on switch will be like.

>Pokemon won't actually make contact with eachother in battle like Pokemon Battle Revolution
>Pokemon are not scaled properly
>The game has no decent multiplayer that isn't just battling and trading
>Although it's a console game, there won't be multiple save files, forcing players with multiple people in the house that want to play at the same time to buy multiple Switches
>Pokemon won't follow behind you
>There won't be a Battle Frontier
>It will be a linear story with heavy cutscenes
>There won't be in-depth character customization more than changing clothes
>There won't be any good minigames
>The graphics will just be Sun and Moon with a higher resolution
>There won't be consistent framerates
>No split-screen or same-console multiplayer like the Pokemon Stadium games

>>33069885
You don't know that. Accurate sizes and following have a high chance.

so horrible. great.

>>33065367
>People want Pokemon on a home console for graphics
>It'll still look like shit

I miss handhelds.

>>33071011
Switch is being used more like a handheld by most parties. Unless you're a kid and the system is for the family, because let's face it stuff can get broken or stolen.

>>33071021
I can't get mine to give me on a commute or shit. Too big for pockets and my bag is all ready pretty full. Combined with battery life and a screen so fragile its own dock can scratch it this is just the WiiU plus.

With that said I feel bad for kids that will never know the feel of pokemon as it was intended.

>>33070929
This interface looks pretty good actually

>>33071031
I feel bad adults like me. Who buy Pokemon games off of crazy marketing and it turns out to be shit

3ds games are garbage

>>33071056
>3ds games are garbage
I can agree there.
Sadly we're going to the Switch instead of improving.

>we will never get handhelds as cool as the GBA/DS again

>>33071031
Same how I feel about my tablet.
Love it, but shit's so clunky I either have to have huge pockets or stuff it in my bag to carry it around.

>>33071065
The gba was shit and that my first handheld I'm 21 and got it when I was 9. I have tons of nostalgia towards it but it's shit hardware.

Audio is so messaged up. Switch is better in everyway

>>33071097
>Switch is better in everyway
In the same way the Gamecube was better in every way.
You can't compare handhelds to home consoles, anon. It's apples to oranges.

>>33071095
Which is a shame, as Gamefreak said a big part of Pokemon was the handheld aspect.

>>33071112
The switch is a handheld. If you take off the joy-cons, it fits in your pocket

>>33071144
>If you take off the joy-cons, it fits in your pocket
You need the joycons to play it, dumbass

>>33071144
The same way the WiiU is a handheld, yes.

>>33071165
You can't take your wii u with you

I'm just glad I can play Pokemon on my 70 inch tv. Can't wait for gen 7 to be over with

>>33071151
Then put it on when you take it out your pocket.

>minimap on screen

But for the Switch to fit I cant take them with me, you said it yourself.

>>33065367
>anime girl in skyward sword location with pokemon scattered about

>>33065373

>>33071204
At this point why don't I just take something that's actually intended to fit as a handheld in my pocket? I used to enjoy handhelds because they only took up one pocket, now I have to waste two on something clearly designed to not fit in pockets?
I tried taking the joycons off and it was still a giant brick that didn't fit.

>>33071207
>Shit I thought losing a DS stick was bad.
The joycons are allready loose, but holy shit losing one would be awful. Anybody who unironically suggests this probably doesn't even own a Switch.

>>33071193
the minimap is fine, literally everything else can go though

>>33071184
>>33071184
I can't take my Switch with me either, so yes. Yes in the exact same way.
Pokemon on the shitter is nice, I won't deny that, but I like taking it some miles away from the house.

>>33071230
nah minimaps are stupid. pokemon doesn't need it. i like when you get a map item at some point and thats it.

>>33071258
>nah minimaps are stupid. pokemon doesn't need it.

You're an idiot.
Any game that makes the transition to full 3D needs a minimap, it's why Lumiose city was a bitch to navigate. Furthermore, go play Tales of Innocence the DS and tell me that shit doesn't need a minimap while you're at it.

>>33071112
My concern is that it's not easy to put in your pocket and just encourages the use of a bag like a backpack or messenger bag instead

>>33071296
ok well go eat a dick then if thats how you feel and calling me an idiot is the only way you can express that. does, say, dark souls have a minimap? clearly not every "full 3d" game needs a minimap, you piece of shit. go post on facebook or something if you can't play games without minimaps.

>>33071220
Actually, the joycons and switch fit in one pocket

>>33070736
Some are. Some fucking break it.

>>33069885
>Although it's a console game, there won't be multiple save files, forcing players with multiple people in the house that want to play at the same time to buy multiple Switches

This one is impossible to be true due to how cartdrigdes and the multiuser switch OS works.

Let's go down the list

>Pokemon won't actually make contact with eachother in battle like Pokemon Battle Revolution

Aesthetic value. Understandable though.

>Pokemon are not scaled properly
MIGHT not be likely, but that depends on how they depict battles. Scale of the battleground was probably an issue of memory or the GPU.

>The game has no decent multiplayer that isn't just battling and trading

Novelty, not important to core game.

>Although it's a console game, there won't be multiple save files, forcing players with multiple people in the house that want to play at the same time to buy multiple Switches

Debatable. Saves could just be linked to a My Nintendo Account since the Switch Carts can't store save data.

>Pokemon won't follow behind you
Novelty choice, but given some entries, it's may be obvious why.

>There won't be a Battle Frontier
Masuda can eat his words.

>It will be a linear story with heavy cutscenes
That's how they sell worldbuilding narratives for the anime and Special. They're not going to stop doing that.

>There won't be in-depth character customization more than changing clothes

GF is too traditional for their own good, but I sympathize.

>There won't be any good minigames
Novelty.

>The graphics will just be Sun and Moon with a higher resolution
Not likely. Switch can handle lighting effects the 3DS can't, so seeing Pokemon with more complex shading engines (at least something like Ga-Olé or so probably won't be an unturned stone. Also, Sun/Moon's limitation was low resolution/downscaled texture sheets. Going on the Pokemon alone, it'll probably look more detailed than running S/M on Citra and that's because GameFreak has access to higher quality assets.

>There won't be consistent framerates
I doubt that.
Switch isn'tthe most powerful tablet on market, but it can handle MUCH heavier polygon amounts than 3DS.

>No split-screen or same-console multiplayer like the Pokemon Stadium games
Not important.

>>33068043
>starting off the next gen with a remake
This is the same thing patternfags said when they were blasted with XY.

>>33071220
>At this point why don't I just take something that's actually intended to fit as a handheld in my pocket?
You are, you're bringing a Switch

>>33071296
>it's why Lumiose city was a bitch to navigate
I love you quickly people have forgotten that Lumiose did in fact have a minimap.

>>33071308
>dark souls
Dark Souls isn't a game aimed at children. Stop using that game at the litmus test for game design.

>>33071650
>Expecting gamefreak to be competent enough to do anything like this

Like Splatoon 2, it'll likely have a spectator mode for a spare switch to show dynamic camera angles of battle.
Maybe even with selectable themes for the cyberspace pvp arena

Like the last games but upscaled.
What I do hope are the sizes of pokemon to be correct, and give me atleast 30fps..

The games already look better in battle.

>>33073231
>Bethesda
>Blizzard
>Steam

>>33069885
This is a pretty good list of expectations. When the futureproofed models were revealed it should've cemented everyone's expectations for what Pokemon games will probably look like for the next few decades. Don't understand why people set themselves up for disappointment again and again.

>>33068302
Already looks a lot better

>>33073317
Those devs can be pretty shitty, but I don't think they have GF beat when GF is still missing basic features like a fucking skip cutscene button.

Though I guess they can claim victory against Steam by default since they haven't made shit themselves for forever.

>>33071650
>he actually believes something like this will be done by gamefreak in the foreseeable future
Are you really this new?

>>33065385
they alreayd said its going to be a traditional rpg. not a fighter like pokken. it will be like gale of darkness or xd

>>33070929

judging by graphics transition history for pokemon games, you're probably right

It will just improve on SM graphics , but not change the style

>>33071557

They'll find a way.

>>33068340
Outlines are leaving as soon as it comes to the Switch, obviously. They're only there so the Pokémon can be seen on 3DS's shitty res screen.

You're a faggot anon and your opinions are hot garbage

>>33065743
Scale has no effect on performance

Only thing you really want to avoid is having an object so big that it can't fit within the draw distance.

I'm scared it's just gonna be be 720p/60 when MK8D which is more taxing than Pokemon shows 1080p/60 is doable.

Why are Gamefreak so lazy?

All TVs are 4k now and 720p scales like shit on them, 1080p sets are discontinued and cost more new than even 4k sets now.

>>33066521
the models were literally made to be reused across generations of hardware.

>>33074802
All tv's are not 4K lol maybe 5% of tv's are

Also 240p to 720p is huge jump. People who only play Pokemon or handheld games will notice a gigantic difference

>>33074744
>>Local multiplayer on a home console isn't important

If you're playing Pokken, sure. If you're going on a journey, it's not important.

>>33075554
The jump we're talking about isn't just resolution, it's fidelity. 3DS' PICA200 at it's best is a lot worse than Switch's gimped Tegra X1.

>>33075554
>All tv's are not 4K lol maybe 5% of tv's are
