That's reassuring. Still annoying, but reassuring.

But yeah also good to know that there would be a bunch of the non-oled models still available. I have not checked in a looong time.aybe I'll pop the screws off and take a look anyway (after uploading my saves, just in case)

GAA is badass. The original trilogy is a classic though it takes a few cases to find its footing compared to how experienced the writers were by the time GAA rolled around.

I’m not saying the game looks great visually or anything but this is easily the most work Game Freak has put into a game in a while, they had to develop a whole new battle system and redesign the traditional Pokemon experience more than any since at least X/Y, possibly ever

Sword/Shield was a way lazier game than this looks to be

Speaking of collections on sale, is the Mega Man X collection any good? I only played the first 2 way back when and I’m curious if there’s any reason not to get it for :10bux:

The game is turn based though. Just a different style of turn based. Some weird ATB where you can play with the speed of the attacks to get ahead of an upcoming attack but it’s still very much turn based.

it looks actively worse than swoshi and that game had an awful dev cycle w gamefreak making a new ip at the same time. no ones forcing them to put out 4 games in one generation, would rather the franchise was on a mainline mario/zelda cycle of one solid brand new game per gen than 4 games that each look consecutively worse than the last. also sumo and swoshi had more interesting redesigns of what pokemon is than "another open world game a full decade into the never ending trend"

there has to be a line somewhere and for me the line is smt5 looking like its from a generation ahead while cumulatively selling less games in its mainline series than any single pokemon game ever.

Remember when GameFreak went through the arduous process of future-proofing the pokemon line by investing and generating high quality 3d models of all pokemon (at the time) and went so far above what was required at the time (3DS) that it actually kinda crippled performance on those games.

Then when they jumped to the switch they had to purge 1/3 of all pokemon from the game because they went ahead and redid the entire process again without actually changing anything and not spending any time on like everything else like basic rear end animations.

I agree. Pokemon should never have jumped to 3D.

Yeah, always found it weird people go that route when a non-graphically extensive game on the Switch looks rough. The console is clearly very limited but at the same time we've seen numerous other titles that show that it shouldn't be looking that bad.

I'm definitely not seeing the issue with that trailer that everyone else is seeing.
I am also playing Neptunia Reverse on the PS5, which straight up looks like a Vita game run through an upscaler with the addition of reflective surfaces, and I think that looks great and that modern games don't need to look like technical marvels if the game is fun.
Pokemon is fun.
