The Nintendo switch Is gonna Save Pokemon

>>33175213
Nothing about game features, story, character development, etc
We cannot tell

>>33175213
>Cares this much about graphics and playing on his TV
You probably started playing Pokémon after Pokémon Go.
Also, bad news for you, we're mid/late generation (console speaking) and Nintendo sold you the SECOND garbage home console in it, so it's not gonna last too long. When Nintendo releases an actual portable in the next console generation, Pokémon goes back to handhelds.

Didn´t even mention the switch touchscreen, an actual important gameplay feature

>>33175213
Don't you get tried of doing the same shitty bait thread all over again? Switch is a shit console, that isn't going to do anything good the pokemon series. Pull your head out of your ass.

>>33175213

Stop making this thread, Barneyfag.

>>33175240
I don't care what it compares to PS4 and Xbox. I have PS4 already.

The switch power level compared to 3ds is mind boggling. I'm comparing it to what systems Pokemon on

Switch is Super sayian Goku

3ds is Yamcha

Power level

>>33175240
You are gonna have to buy a Switch my dude, it's time to accept it.

Yeah that's what will save Pokemon, nobody here wants better gameplay.

>>33175253
The only game you can't play docked is touchscreen base

>>33175264

Just smudge me up senpai

>>33175293
That doesn't change the fact GameFreak always gets an exception because of how much of a cash cow Pokemon is.
Even if you couldn't transfer Gen 1/2 Pokemon from VC to Gen 6/7, I guarantee you that savestates would still be impossible.

>>33175288
>Implying I can't survive 2 years without Pokémon, wait for the Switch to die, and just get next gen handheld

>>33175324
You are going to be waiting for more than 2 years.

>>33175324
Do you really think GF would be making Pokémon for Switch it Nintendo was planning another handheld?

Get over it. Switch is the new handheld. And after that there probably will be a Switch 2.

>>33175289
With better Power. They can do features can do they couldn't do on the piece of shit 3ds

The 3ds had 4 gb storage no game used the 8 GB.

Switch has 32 GB

>>33175288
How does Game Freak's cock taste?

>>33175346
>They can do features
>can

They don't have to and with their recent track record who actually thinks they will.

>Switch has 32 GB
>People actually think this is good

32GB would be fine if you could actually fit more than 2 games on it. This thing is marketed as a handheld and a home console. It's a garbage amount of space for a home console. and not to mention the only using MicroSD as an expansion is also fucking retarded.

Stop sucking Nintendo's cock, there's so many things wrong with the switch.

>>33175351
He's right you buy the system or don't play. You would need a good ass PC to emulate the switch and you can't use online

>>33175351
I wouldn't know, it probably tastes like money.
Also I'm not defending GF, but thinking Nintendo is going to have 2 new handhelds in the market at the same time is beyond delusional, at worst they would release an actual home console but even if they were planning on doing something like that it would be like 5 years away from now.

>>33175385
There's nothing for me to defend

Pokemon going on the switch. You either buy it or don't. Nintendo or game freak doesn't give a fuck.

The money will keep rolling either way

>>33175392
>He's right you buy the system or don't play.
And what if you don't want to buy the system but you want to play it? Oh wai-

>>33175343
>GF making Pokémon for Switch
Best thing you will get is some SM/USUM port that will probably even be compatible with the 3DS ones lol, meanwhile just play zelda breath of the wild, mario kart 8 or pokken which you could also play on wii u.

>>33175385
3DS has 512 MB internal storage so your argument is invalid.


Also most Nintendo games are 3-5 GB, only Zelda is pretty big at 13 GB

>>33175392
>>33175398
Then i just won't.
This is probably a good place for people to drop this franchise.
I myself can afford it but i ain't buying it for one franchise that's gradually getting worse.

>>33175420
It's gonna be gen 8 and you know it.

Wanna bet?

>>33175408
Then go play Pokemon go its free

I'm sure there are millions of people who don't want to buy 3ds but want to play Pokemon

>>33175426
Then awesome. It's been a good run for u. 21 years of a franchise it's a long time.

But people who come to this board who have no plans on buying a switch but any time the switch is mentioned there the first ones in the thread bitching about it.

It's funny to me

>>33175431
No thanks. My pc has an i7 920 at this moment and i can emulate 3ds fairly well. i'll just get a better cpu whenever they come up with the Shitch emulator, if of course the game turns out to be good just like OP says.

>>33175443
and i find it funny that people assume it being on the switch will automatically make the games better.

>>33175240
kill yourself you handheld faggot. why not just play mobile games, candy crush, pokemon go and mario run? enjoy your shit life aids casual

>>33175517
>I get at least five hours on the 3DS easily.
It's not "easily" if you literally have to turn off the brightness, the sound, the 3d and the wi-fi.

>>33175555
And that's a problem. BotW is the flagship game of the console and already makes performance concessions with godawful framerate drops and lack of good AA just to squeeze out 2-3 hours of battery life. The very first game on the system has already set the bar for what the console will ever be able to do. We can't expect anything more ambitious; by going this meme "hybrid" route they've once again doomed themselves to alienating big third-party developers that would help push units.

>>33175596

Not going to buy a system that has paid online.

>>33175463
You do realize it would be cheaper to just buy a switch once the price inevitably drops and it only costs like $150? Your so adamant about not getting the switch you'd rather spend extra money to avoid buying it than just getting it over with.

>>33175667

no just limited as fuck and the main reason we don't get any postgames anymore, retarded pokemon sized that doesn't fit in the slightest and the worst framerate since dragon's dogma 3x great cannon spam from mystic knight on ps3/360.

just stop, all 3ds pokemon games are terrible and the reason is the handheld.

Gen1-5 are awesome, when they switched to 3d pokemon became shit because the power is too low, waaaay too low, like fuck, this console can't even handle 30fps on 240p wtf is this?.

>wailord and clefable nearly have the same size

fuckin kek.

Switch Pokemon will be highest seller with 60 dollar price tag instead of 40

Game freak and Nintendo will be raking millions

>>33175682
>just stop, all 3ds pokemon games are terrible and the reason is the handheld.

No, it's because Gamefreak is dogshit at optimizing their games and always has been because they know they'll sell like hotcakes regardless so they don't even try.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r46Jbq-ZNok

>>33175463
It's says they have begun DEVOPING a core game for the switch. they would have said they were porting a game.

>>33175708
Those are mostly just cut scenes not actual game play

Sun and moon had this too during the flute for the legendary

>>33175708
you can't compare legends like capcom with game freak, I know capcom became shit, but they still have high wuality in optimizing,gameplay and controlls.

>>33175736
There's actual gameplay footage in there you mong. And the game has been out in Japan for some time. Stop cucking for Gamefreak, the only thing you'll get out of it are more half-assed titles as you continually go "well maybe next gen they'll get their shit together!"

>>33175722
I don't think it's USM or sun and moon either but them not announcing port doesn't mean anything

They want people to buy 3ds game then buy port. Why would they announce its port and kill USM 3ds sales

>>33175722
That's too much guessing especially for GF
>developing a core game
>developing a port for a core game
Same thing

>>33175747
Nobody is forcing you to buy the switch or any Pokemon game

If you don't want to play Pokemon. Then don't lol

>>33175753
Good advice. I haven't played Pokemon since Gen V, since VI and VII were absolute trash. And in spite of these being complete and utter garbage, the fanboys are still all "WOOO GEN VIII HYPE!!!"

>the golden age of pokemon is coming


If you truly believe that, then I'm afraid I've got some Bad News. Pokemon's golden era for all of us will never happen again, because it already happened for us. The Golden Age of Pokemon is that sweet spot when you first get into Pokemania. I experienced it when I was four or five when Red and Blue came out. It was still thriving when Gold and Silver came out. But after that everything feels hollow. Hoenn was lacking, Sinnoh was disappointing, Unova was good but something felt off. We are doomed to repeat this cycle every generation. Happily playing whatever unfinished video game has the Pokemon logo haphazardly placed on it. But two weeks later we are disappointed. It happened to the Gen Wunners. It happened to the Gen 3 fans, It happened to the Gen 4 fans. And it will happen to every generation of fans until Pokemon ceases to be. We can no longer obtain that sweet spot of Pokemania because we have all grown too old for our imaginations to enhance the first game that we ever played. Thus is the process of aging. We are not young anymore, and Pokemon will never be like it once was, in our eyes.

In short, you're all too old to be picking apart a children's video game. Thank you very much.

If it's a port then fine. It means we're not getting a skip year

2018 port
2019 gen 8
2020 Pokemon d/p remakes

All on switch

>>33175748
>>33175750

Game freak has done a ton of stupid stuff that I won't forgive them for. But I don't think they are stupid enough to hype a switch hand then releases a port of a already reaped game. Fans would rip them to shredds

>>33175766
That's nostalgia dude. If you honestly think red and blue are better than any DS game. Then I can't take your opinion seriously

>>33175777
They already did that by announcing Ultra sun and moon

Just like they ripped them to shreds over OR/AS? Oh wait, that never actually happened. A few niche communities like this one bitched about it for a while but they still sold millions of copies and that's all Gamefreak cares about in the end. Stop buying games at launch, do your research, and then vote with your wallet. Pokemon has become Nintendo's lazy AAA series that has become too big to fail due to people buying it for no other reason than they feel obligated to at this point.

that's literally my point. In my world view Red/Silver are untouchable. And no games have ever come close it them. Just like one of my friends at work, there are no games that come close to her like Pearl. Because those were our firsts. There is no such thing as an upcoming "golden age of Pokemon" because the golden age is the time that you first get involved with it.
so that's exactly my point..

>>33175886
Yeah, it's only a matter of time now until Gamefreak completely reverses their business model/design philosophy that has been selling well for no good reason whatsoever and starts putting effort into making good Pokemon games again. It's definitely worth just buying Gen 8 on Day 1 just in case those are the ones.

To be fair, the Game Boy Color was actually worth purchasing.

I just hope Gamefreak truly tries to optimize the game.

Mario Kart 8D is more graphically intense/physics heavy than Pokemon, so we all know in theory Switch can do 1080p at 60 frames per second.

I'm just worried they'll get lazy and go 720/60(docked)/540/60 handheld or 1080/30(docked)/720/30(handheld)

It needs to be 1080/60 and 720/60

>>33175213
I've excepted that the Switch is Nintendo's future but.

1) It does feel comfortable in handheld mode

2) the 3ds had a shit launch but it wasn't a shit system. It had some great games and older weaker systems are still playable

3) Just because it's more powerful doesn't mean they will take full advantage of the power or have any significant game play improvements.

The only yearly sandbox series is AssCreed and you know how shitty that gets. Do you really want every game to go open world?

>>33176250
It was a system the GPU had the same as a 2003 flip phone

>>33175213
>muh gruhficks
The problem with the 3DS games run far deeper than 240p, m8. As long as they keep going for the hand holding railroady "story" centric approach the Switch games will be just as shit. SM wasn't even your own Pokemon adventure. It was a really bad story about Lillie and her psycho mother with Pokemon as an afterthought and the player character as a non-entity.

>>33176604
The switch game cards have more storage space than 3ds. They have more room to add features

Sun and moon was close to the 4gb capabilities not 1 game has used 8 gb card

>>33176635
That's completely unrelated, but you're not the type of person to listen to reason. You literally debunked yourself in your own post and tried to use it as proof you're right. If convincing yourself the Switch games will be super ultra amazing simply because Switch cartridges have higher storage space that Gamefreak won't make use of helps you sleep at night, I won't contest you.

>>33176264
Petty sure a ds is more powerful than a 2003 flip phone.

>>33176604
The biggest most objective problem SM have is shit framerate and that can definitively be solved with better hardware.

>>33176823
It can be, but what could also solve it, and is the more pressing issue, is better optimization on Gamefreak's part. This has been a recurring issue of theirs since Gen IV.

I was able to get a switch at the store recently and only bought breath of the wild. Wouldn't mind seeing a pokemon game come to it.

Also, want it on the switch since there's no metal slime 2ds available in NA. I would've bought one if Nintendo brought it over.

Yeah, good graphics, that's all Pokémon has been missing.

Fucking kill yourself, graphicshorse. Sun and Moon on Citra with upresed models are still shitty Sun and Moon. The gameplay is still going to be exactly the same and it's going to have all the exact same problems as Sun and Moon.

I think everyone is imagining this is gonna look like Dragon Quest XI or something when in reality it's going to look like SM running in 480p but upscale to 720p. Remember we still have one of the stingiest, sloppiest, least-ambitious and understaffed developers in the entire industry working on this.

>>33175213
Pokemon Switch will be what the Orre games were to the Gamecube

A ""powerful"" console but a shitty game with shitty graphics and old features, the sequel will be sliiiightly better.

>>33175771
There has never been a port in the entire history of Pokémon mainline games. Pokémon games are perennial sellers AND system sellers, and the 3DS is still being produced. SM is STILL selling to this day. There is literally no reason whatsoever to port it to Switch.

With Pokken and Mario Kart 8, you had games on a low-selling system that is no longer being produced, so you actually had a reason to port them in order to maximize the profits from the games.

When they announced BW people were either really mad they weren't waiting for 3DS which had just been announced or using it as fodder for their WOW BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY NOGAEMS that every console goes through for its first year or so. When BW2 were announced for DS there were fucking articles on professional blogs even whining about them not being on 3DS.

By the time XY were announced most people's mommies had bought them a 3DS and there were some games out for it so no one cared by that point.

Likely by the time we're actually getting close to Gen VIII's release enough people will have gotten a Switch that the complaining won't be as bad. Especially since it'll be around Christmas when kiddies will be asking for a Switch with Pokémon.

>>33179125
I wasn't here, but 3DS is an actually good console, Switch in the other hand is an expensive crap with a bad gimmick. Also it was released mid generation and even then it isn't even half as good as its Sony/Microsoft competitors.

The hybrid gimmick is way better gimmick than the 3D gimmick that Pokemon didn't even utilize

The 3ds wasn't a console

3DS was a portable just like every console with a Pokémon game before. Only graphicfags call of duty players want Pokémon on their led TV and when they get it they'll play it for maybe 10 hours and get bored.

You can play Pokemon in handheld mode

Pokemon mainline has never been on a console

I'll admit, being able to play a Pokemon main series game on the TV would be great. I'm introducing Pokemon slowly to my 4 year old nephew, and he already loves the anime. So to play the games on the big screen for him to watch would be great, cause then he could see my team in action.

But it could. The game could very easily split across the TV and Switch screen now, even better than before. The 3DS bottom screen has really become pointless in Gen 7, and most of the user input is down there so active gameplay really isn't going to be interrupted by the sudden gap between both screens.

That might be why we got a useless bottom screen in the first place: to make the transition to the Switch inevitably.

People literally said the exact same thing about the 3DS when it came out.

>expensive
Maybe if you have no income whatsoever. It only costs $50 more than the 3DS.

>holy shit I actually want that now
A WW HD style or a TLP style?

Can we stop this meme. The 3ds faced huged back lash for the price they cut it. Not even 5 months later to 199

Visit latin america where you can get a Switch for the amazing price of 750 dollars

TLP would be cool, but WW would be more reasonable and GF (if they put the effort into it) could do it really well
