It's coming to PC and Consoles.
and this is PC footage, we don't how its gonna look like on the consoles, so comparing it to a underpowered switch is pointless
just like the chinese game, it was running on PC using DLSS just to get a smooth frame rate, its still early, but the console version is obviously not gonna look like that

why do Nintendo fans continue to accept such mediocrity??
you got no-name Korean devs with 1/100th of the budget Pokemon has and they come out with something that looks like this..
geez Nintendo...step your fukkin game up mayne
seriously
gamefreak doesn't employ enough programmers and they must have long standing staff because it's been 5 years and they still are really struggling with the move to 3d pokemon.
let's go eevee/pikachu has been their best effort and that's likely because they only had to model about 170 pokemon and were going for nostalgia so they just had to "pretty up" Kanto. they make cities the same exact way that they would as if they were still making 2d games and it just causes them to be empty and outdated feeling. it just doesn't match
if nothing else nintendo knows how to translate they're 2d ip's to 3d. they don't play the same, they don't look the same, the environments reflect a 3d living space instead of a 2d one
gamefreak has just been a total failure at making the transition for pokemon and right now they're making too much money and are too stubborn to improve.

I mean they lease the licensee out to other companies all the time though. Niantic for the mobile stuff, Bandai namco did pokemon snap 2, chunsoft for mystery dungeon, etc.
Legends could have been one of those games they gave someone like Ubisoft (they’ve done well with nintendo games) to translate it into open world. Something they’re kind of good at, especially something simple like pokemon. Monolithsoft would be good also
Regulate gamefreak to 2d games and let someone else do the open world thing to expand the franchise
The Ubisoft Mario spinoff arguably looks on par with Oddysey.
GF cant even make good modern 2D pokemon, its a talent discrepancy but they want the money and credit to mostly stay in house with the pokemon company and its sub divisions

Thats the reason i mentioned them. Mario + Rabbids looks very good for a switch game if not one of the best looking ones. It’s smaller in scope though which is what makes it easier I think.

This is all on GameFreak, the best looking Pokémon game on Switch was made by Bandai Namco, twice.

I think most people would prefer them using sprites at this point
