In the game informer exclusive with the director of Pokemon Ultra sun and moon he appears to be showcasing new gameplay and features with an old standard 3ds. I don't know why but it just seems weird he not using the new 3ds.

very good thread yes
Clearly, being a UI designer, he uses it because he knows the original 3DS still has the best screens.

Interesting

Also it doesn't stretch it's resolution, so it technically looks better just because
>>33440468
Are we not going to talk about the folder labeled "niji" in the background?
>>33440535
Ok, let's discuss.
Theories?
>>33440535
N-NANI
>>33440535
>>33440559
Okay, here's my theory:I have no idea what Niji means.
>>33440565
OHO!
It's probably just because they have to make sure everything still works on an old small 3DS, so they make the games based on that instead of designing it with the XL's and then backing themselves into a corner because text or models or something are to small to see or cant run on the original

niji means rainbow
rainbow was the codename for SM
USUM are based on SM so it's not weird to have the sm project folder there
>>33440468
This is so cool, I love all of the little things like this. I will definitely form some lasting memories with my Pokemon throughout our adventure, and I'd love to see yours, too!
>>33440503
is it because the graphics are farther away from your eyes, since the screen is so small and the tinier details are less noticeable?
>>33440535
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
It's fucking real
>>33440598
>>33440565
>Folder with papers and concept sketches called rainbow
>Not ULTRA rainbow
Jesus fucking christ, ONE JOB
JUST ONE
>>33440535
that's one of their SM development folders
niji was SM's codename
nothing really special
>>33440559
>>33440565
>>33440573
>>33440698
Niji is the codename of sm
>>33440535
Now that I think about it... there wasn't really nothing about rainbows in SM, but USUM seems to be diferent
>>33440715
At the time, most thought that the connection was that the seven colors of the rainbow = seventh gen
>>33440585
The actual resolution and specs are no different between a 3DS and a 3DS XL, it's just the physical size of the screen. The original's pixels are smaller, so the image is more crisp.
The New 3DS models do have better specs, but they have to make sure the games work on it too anyways. However even the small New 3DS has a bigger screen than the original 3DS despite having the same resolution, so the original screen is still king when it comes to crisp image.
>>33440745
Yep, But now we know it's related to light and refraction
>>33440715
>>33440745
Also the rainbow being on hawaiians car plates and such
>>33440745
>>33440752
>>33440757
And the seven trial captains.
With seven different hair colours. Pink, red, blue, green, orange, purple and yellow

>>33440468
