Most sources seem to point to it being this. I know GF aren't super talented devs, but I have a faint glimmer of hope that it would be better than that, hopefully that's just an alpha screenshot from early in development, if that's near the final product, the game better play really fucking well or it's going to be trashed beyond anything we've seen before.

Tbh I'd want to know what people's expectations are because if anything something along the lines of Yokai watch is realistic given GF and that looks in line with that I can see the final version maybe having a higher resolution then shown there. It's pretty much expected that its not going to be a graphical showcase I'm expecting the focus to be more on how the execute the content for example that screen shows navigating water ways in a manner that's a step up above previous games.

Well it's not that we want it to be a graphical showcase per se, it's just that they have tools that they aren't using if this screenshot is final (which I think it isn't and is instead the Pokemon Stars Tech Demo). I would at least expect them to use current gen standards like upgraded shaders, and dynamic lighting. This looks exactly like a 3DS game...on Switch. Level 5 has put a 3DS game on Switch before, The Snack World: Trejares Gold and they took some advantages of the hardware:

I just hope Gamefreak does the same. At least add some Dynamic lighting and better geometry/models than a 3DS game.
