Finally some good looking graphics in a Pokémon game

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Looks nice, but seems to be Switch 2 exclusive.

In 2027, it better be.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 3 points 1 month ago

Good. No point releasing new hardware if you’re not going to take advantage of it.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Would you trust another pokemon game on the Switch 1 after Scarlet and Violet?

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

Why would you ever expect anything else?

[-] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The water looks so good!

[-] OmegaMouse@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

Interesting! I haven't played a Pokemon game since Sword and Shield, but I'm liking the setting here. And it looks a little bit more graphically impressive than previous instalments?

And it looks a little bit more graphically impressive than previous instalments?

Definitely, but anything else would have been very disappointing. They have much more hardware power at their disposal compared to Switch 1 after all. I don't know if I'd say that these are impressive graphics by Switch 2 standards, but they're finally at a point where they look nice, which is ultimatey all that matters.

[-] OmegaMouse@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I'm sure the Switch 2 is capable of much more. Mario Kart World looks really pretty, and they managed to get FF7 Rebirth running on it. So I'm sure the Pokemon devs could do a lot better really - but by their standards it's an improvement at least.

I really doubt those are in game graphics.

Hmm at least pokemon seldom released trailer with unrealistic graphic, so i would believe it look like that. And it looks alright, so far, but anyways not mind blowing in my opinion. Which would be enough for me if everything else is alright as well

[-] OmegaMouse@pawb.social 0 points 1 month ago

From 1:31 onwards?

[-] Zarxrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, it just looks too good to me, given their track record. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

Keep in mind that this is much more powerful hardware than what previous games were running on.

[-] deus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

But then again, there are much better looking games running on the Switch than any Pokemon.

Getting Sun & Moon vibes.
