Gamefreak needs that Monolith Soft stimulus. They're free after Xenoblade 3 i think ?

Pokémon fans are allegory of the cave when it comes to criticisms on gamefreak

I just saw the trailer.

:whoo:

The visuals were amazing. It literally looks exactly like what a Pokemon game SHOULD look like but leave it to Nintendo, we'll see something of that quality probably in 20 years.
Nintendo isn't the one making Pokémon games. Gamefreak makes them and Gamefreak has no reason to devote that level of effort into games that sell millions with half assed effort. Gamefreak can't even be bothered to put animations they already made for Pokémon on the Switch for Let's Go into Sword and Shield.

but Nintendo is the one making the hardware which GameFreak develops on. Their games would look FAR better and be more technically advanced had they been developed solely on PS5/Series X level hardware.

Pokemon on the Switch looks about right for the hardware it's designed for.

Ah okay.

It's kinda fun to do this with consoles.

Kidna like how the Nintendo DS was basically a PS1, the PSP was basically PS1.5/Dreamcast with jaggies, the PSVita was basically a PS2.5, and the Nintendo 3DS was basically a PS2
The graphics discrepancy between Vita and 3DS was higher than that. lol. 3DS was tit for tat with PS2. Vita was damn near a PS3. PS2.5 isn’t the full story being that GameCube, Xbox, Wii we’re all way more powerful than a PS2 but PS Vita was far more powerful than all of them. PS Vita was more PS3 “lite” than PS2.5.
