Still kinda looks like a HD 3DS game at times, and Dynamax is just really not that creative or interesting. Like, if this were the 90's making things bigger and stronger would be cool but we should be past lazy gimmicks like this. I'd rather it not be there at all. I kinda wish gimmicks like Z Moves were never introduced, now they feel like each game has to have a soul-less gimmick to invoke "new".

That being said the region itself does look interesting and the Wild Area is a step in the right direction. Gamefreak still has some growing to do before I really get excited for their games again if I'm being completely honest but this is somewhat of a sizable jump from Sun/Moon.

Same here! 

I thought on the first trailer they were not doing it.

I feel like an ass complaining about the graphics, but the art style shown here is rather unambitious. Xenoblade 2 probably had a fraction of the resources The Pokemon Company and Gamefreak have, and they managed to make a sprawling world with creatures roaming around it.

The giantic mode is... odd. I get megaevolutions as a way to balance the metagame, and the same with Z moves. But what does the giant mode change? I feel like they thought it as a way to include Pokemon Go -like mechanics into the game, and then decided to just incorporate it into the combat. Speaking of which, I'm rather afraid of them getting into the title propper, the Pokemon Company has developed a taste for mobile economies in this past few years. Pokemon in the overworld is fine, I guess, but there are many other areas that need the attention before that.

Nah. This one is more alive. Like look at the pokemon and characters expressions. Look at the stadium design with so many people. And look at how good the different abilities during the Dynamax mode. The 3DS wont be able to run that. 

List of Pokémons:

No, of course, they needed a gimmick to sell each gen, but they at least accomplished balancing points in the meta. I have no idea how is the equivalent of a Rita Repulsa spell on your pokemon going to affect the gameplay.

I think the direct was really good. The character and Pokemon designs look great. I’m glad we’ll be able to see the Pokémon out in the wild again a la Let’s Go. I think the graphics are fine, considering how many potential Pokémon are gonna be in the game. I remember the video I posted about Pokémon game animation and how the number of Pokémon affects how production goes, especially within an almost annual basis.

Dynamax mode looks interesting. I was surprised on the Pokemon going kaiju on us. Wonder how the battles flow with this along with multiple trainers battling kaiju like Pokemon.

Btw did anyone catch a glimpse of Game Freak’s studio? Looks pretty cool.

Right, Mega Evolutions didn't bother me and I felt those should have become the main focus of future pokemon games from Gen 6 onward. And at times the game looks like a budget Switch game and at other times in the trailer it looked like a PS2 or 3DS game in regards to textures. I spent a lot of time on my 3DS and it's just that some of those textures are giving me flashbacks.

It's definitely going to sell extremely well, maybe the best selling in the series since Gen 4. I look forward to the day where Gamefreak steps into 2013 in terms of presentation. 

Watch this about Pokémon battle animation if you’re interested.

Its a long video but showcases really well how battle animation in Pokemon has evolved, especially now that we have over 800 of them.

Biggest problem with the Pokemon fanbase.
