But that doesn't count because it was on the trailer. They didn't animate for the game.

Dude.. even that shit was just the already existent animation.. zapdos just running.. moltres just flying.. articuno floating and attacking.. not new animation at all

The Necrozma cutscene is cool, it could have been even cooler. Why can't we get at least half of the effort on that cutscene on any cutscene in Sword and Shield besides the Galar Bird cutscene?

Which is why Pokemon should be killed as a series and then brought back to life and then killed again

It is such a shame that Game Freak were the people who thought of Pokémon. Pokémon today is flawed since the concept of it is to be a lively open world and the people who make these games are a bunch of shitty businessmen who don't understand that games such as this shouldn't be rushed out. It is understandable that they can't make all animations for the Pokémon but they could just ask for the community's help. No team, big or small, is able to animate all 900+ Pokémon.

Oh yeah. Or how whenever you entered a new area it showed an overview of the area with the name of it fading into existence. Also the animation in that game was surprisingly smooth with fully fledged cutscenes like rescuing the deku princess or the opening

To be fair maybe their team isn't as skilled as we think.

@Rill they only lack interest. They should stop pumping out the same game and spend time on something unique.

@Rill they have all the money in the world, get more people or more skilled.

@Rill "Only" 200? That's a lot, dood. And they certainly didn't hire that many writers or animators, so what they hell did they have on the 200 strong team?

@@yerman0564 they cant spend time on a project, they cant afford to. This is what happens when you get too big for your britches. Backers, investors, merchandise, toys, anime releases, the card game... gamefreak has to continue pumping out games dictated by the pokemon companies release schedule because of their multimedia franchise faculties being relevant to one another. They all hang on a new game and cant be released without it. I stopped being critical of gamefreaks games simply because they can never change until they let third party studios develop their games for them while they stick to what they're good at. Character design. They make great characters and concepts. So they should just focus on that side of development while more "competent" studios (people not chained to such oppressive schedules) handle the more concrete side of development. Develop the concept and story script early, as they focus on creating the pokemon. Then let a third party/second party development team work on the game. But they'll never do that...

@@xlbthedemigod5662 only in this case this is the case, the beta revealed that they hardly started the game a year before its release, giving then just a year to work on it essentially, so yes, this time it was TPC and Nintendo wanting to release it in 2019, because they control the release dates

Game Freak and Masahiro Sakurai are my favourite indie devs!

@@tdc3477 you realise gamefreak gets a massive cut of the revenue of pokemon right? Not only the games? There have been tons of talk about how they shifted a large portion of their team to little town hero or whatever and basically fed pokemon to the wolves. Tpc and nintendo may suk ass, but gamefreak is more responsible for this bullshit

@@sweggs3599 I mean that is fair but also no matter how many people you have on a project, having something like a year to make a game that has the expectations of POKEMON is practically impossible. and while the more you people you have in a project does mean you have more workpower, it also becomes way harder to manage a bigger team, so the deadline itself is still very much the problem.

Yes! The Orre games deserve remakes or remasters. Not only they are amazing they also have a lot of obtainable Pokémon that are currently not in SwSh.

Id rather have a remake, suddenly getting tossed into gen 3 mechanics seems like a not so perfect idea. Also, id add the colosseum, have a double package, all remade and updated to current mechanics and everything.

YESSSS

Yeah whatever troll

@@OnlyNeedJuan Man, if they update to Gen 8 mechanics, I would love to use a Foul Play Umbreon on Colosseum, a Shadow Sneasel/Weavile that can take advantage of its STAB moves, Shadow Pokémon that can be forced into Mega Evolution without a Mega Stone since they can't bond with trainers (Like the forced Mega Evo thing on the Volcanion movie), being able to also evolve Eevee into Glaceon, Leafeon, and Sylveon on XD. It would just add a lot of new replayability to the games.

Pokemon is not an indie game, nor was it ever primarily focused on animation and graphical prowess in the slightest. Nothing's changed, just the "I want everything on a console that's less powerful than a base PS4" mindset is more popular now.

Exactly. Pokémon Capitalists get the bullet. Seize the Means of Production and redistribute Pokémon’s copyrights to the best game makers alive today. From each according to his ineptitude to each according to his means. I’m willing to go to war with Japan again over this.

@@isidoreaerys8745 go to war, over a game that isn't designed for your age demographic? Hmmm. Pokemon fans really are extremists.

@@Saphman4 Sorry but there are no excuses when Zelda BOTW and indie games have more animations than the games of the highest grossing franchise. The Switch is powerful for what it is, SWSH just looks terrible.

@@plaguerim5608 right! Because that comparison totally works. Let's compare Pokemon, a game that never cared about graphics for the past 20 years, to Zelda botw, which was a launch title for the switch and was designed to look good with graphics as the top priority. The switch is less powerful than a base PS4 might I add, and it's a kids game. And we don't count indie games, their sales numbers and quality make them irrelevant. Any other broken comparisons?

Lol that show was so much fun

They were calling out S/S before it was even released heck, before it was even CONSIDERED

Animation is so difficult and complicated! People who do this for a living deserve more credit and respect!

"They needed to cut animations to add Pokémon."

Models? The same. Animations? The same. Cut Pokemon? For Quality improvement. Me? Confused disappointment.

Remember when the box legendary just rotated on an axis while looping its walking animation?

"No uhh... We cut them for balance reasons!" Broken new Pokemon and Dynamax exist and worst online experience in any Pokemon game yet

Why need training when you can literally make them cause a natural disaster! And what do you mean you need a team? Like I said, they are overpowered already! Don't be power hungry! What is "catch em all?" Why do that when you can literally have one best friend instead of so many, that you have to chuck them aside somewhere? That's animal cruelty! Actually this while thing is animal cruelty! Your lucky we even made this! At game freak we do not support animal cruelty, and no animals were harmed on the making of this game. What do you mean " why no animations?" Why don't you try animating a fan game yourself. It takes a lot of time and effort you know! Animating the letters themselves took an entire day of non stop work! Sounds? What are the need for that if everyone is mute! Including the Pokémon! Evolution? THAT TAKES MILLIONS OF YEARS TO DO! DO YOU THINK WE CAN MAKE SOMETHING AS UNREALISTIC AS THAT? AT GAME FREAK, WE BELIEVE THAT ALL OUR GAMES SHOULD BE AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE! Besides you already get the very diverse starter options between charizard, charizard and charizard. You can't possibly ask for more! Anyways, putting all the questions aside, the starting price of this game is $1000. Since you guys so desperately wanted animations we actually made them in a DLC. It costs $5000 dollars. We also added sounds we definitely did not take from a dragon toy for that Charizard. The sounds DLC costs $10000 Did I mention that if you buy one of the earlier games, Pokémon Forest and Rain, which cost $1000 each, you get an unfair boost of getting more than one Pokémon! Just connect the two games with pokelink, which can store Pokémon and transfer them to another account! It only costs $1000 per Pokémon transferred!

@@Saphman4 yknow what else is a kids game? mario odyssey. yknow what else is a kids game? minecraft. yknow what else is a kids game? ocarina of time. yknow what else is a kids game? splatoon 2. yknow what else is a kids game? older pokémon games like platinum and black and white. yknow what else is a kids game? donkey kong country tropical freeze. yknow what else is a kids game? mario kart. i could go on and on. are those all bad games because they’re “kids” games? are games like TES, COD, and The Witcher better because they’re “big boy” games? it doesn’t matter what your target audience is, your game can still be a bad, disappointing, lazy mess, and criticized to hell and back. because criticism is how things you love get better. the “they’re made for kids” argument is a jab at my 10 year old self who would’ve enjoyed black and white much more than this garbage.

@@aayers485 Minecraft is a decade old and was designed for more powerful hardware, ocarina of Time is two decades old, Platinum is a decade old, and black and white are almost a decade old, and thus obsolete and irrelevant. you aren't even the specific target audience of pokemon, so why bother giving it criticism that it doesn't deserve because it's for a child? what next? Are you going to tell me that because the switch exists everything has to be at the highest form of graphical fidelity? Because surprise surprise, Pokemon was never graphically focused, which is why we didn't get 3D until 2013...

@@Saphman4 So... you’re saying anything that’s made for children shouldn’t have any effort ?

@@soapbonar essentially. It's not like they're going to be able to tell the difference. But again, this is Nintendo. Why can't we accept kids games for what they are?

Pink screen: You just witnessed a Dagranopa execution first-hand.

White screen: possibly a flashback. White and gray screen: You're on the wrong channel, buddy. Green screen: Literally no games in the modern day should use these because these are for movies for the most part. Yellow screen: usually honey or bug guts Rainbow screen: Undertale True Pacifist final boss.

We all think Pokemon should die

Logic Fails Nintendo Doesn't lazy SW and SH it lazy Stupid Wtf?!

@@angelonielodc2pvz236 which is why Pokemon should end

And it had. Aside from some houses in Kokiri forest,every house in the game is different

Each completely unique with two camera angles and occasionally multiple floors with two points of entry as well as a hidden collectable.

True

I am gonna respond you. *Tap tap tap* *He sends the message*

I'm going to reply, now. (screen goes black, too.) [ *tap* *tap* *tap* ] {She posted a reply!} (screen goes back to normal)

I will reply with something funny on this comment. (Screen goes black) (*tap tap tap*) (She replied with something funny)

Hey! Let me join in too! (screen goes black again) (*tapping noises*) (she made a horrible joke in reply)

I will say the n word. (Screen goes *BLACK* again) (tap tap tap) ( He said the n word)

Cringe. Stop posting shitty MCU/Engame memes here. Thanks.

Makes you think what the budget for this dlc was 🤔

@@sw1shstyx777 budget for the whole game including dlc was at least $20, yet I love it for some reason

@@AcidArrestB same here

Even indie games can do a better job at that.

What even sad that Kirby Star Allies have better graphics than this game

It’s somehow impossible to use those millions of dollars to add all Pokémon in.

Not just a billion dollar company, but THE MOST VALUABLE FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME. They're here saving a couple thousand bucks, the equivalent to grains of sand in a desert, instead of making something truly special like Zelda and Xenoblade did.

Even an indie game has more care.

That's just uncountable.

Don’t, you’ll overwork poor Arceus.

If there's a black screen for the entire game that means Pokemon has ended which it deserves do to how bad Sword and Shield were

With a text box at the bottom. Pay 20$ to get a white screen dlc!

at this point in time, i dont want a remake for pokemon black and white. It'll literally just be what ever version you get, a black screen with text boxes, or a white screen with text boxes

Pokemon Black screen version And the other one: Pokemon White screen version

And people would still buy and defend it

Yeh it’s safe to assume they pretty much rushed the game out like a year or 2 early seeing as the game is basically an unfinished mess still in beta

@@TheEvilWithinFan ... They have patches! It's 2020, they can fix this shit literally whenever they want, we live in a world where updating games is the easiest it's ever been. No, there is no excuse

Cuphead is beautiful but I’ll be the first to say that it‘s an exception and not really comparable to any modern games at the moment. However, GF needs to step it up BIG time. I’m not looking for Cuphead level animation but just give me the bare minimum - no cuts to black and awkwardly written onomatopoeia.

The best comparisons to the graphical aesthetics that Pokemon are going for are games like BOTW, Genshin Impact and Xenoblade 2 which are all vastly superior in every way.

Fun Fact: Cuphead was meant to come out much earlier than it was supposed to be
