That was a cinematic, not a game. But, it's too much of a leap for me to believe gamefreak will make a home console pokemon. Theres no precedent to it. So, i need more than just a rumor.

Both of those screens were actually cutscenes. But I should have pointed out that the cut scenes are in real time. As such it's the same situation for gameplay.

You can see a massve difference for polygons. But not a big change for the menus (character portrait) because they're made out of pixels. These high res assets are even present in old DS games, because it's easier to work with larger models, and then just have the game scale them down.

The primary reason for why Gamefreak are making a Pokemon game for Switch is because it is also a handheld. And it may very well be Nintendo's only handheld moving forward. So in that case they have to make games for it.

Is that an emulator? Because theres no actual HD port of that game. Just the cut-scenes.

Anyways, i don't know. Would that kind of minimal work really do it for you? I do think gamefreak has higher standards than that. Anyways, we have heard rumors and wishes for a console mainline pokemon for decades. I just can't believe a rumor. I'm gonna have to see proof. So, i'll believe it when i see it.
