Figured any new Pokemon game thread would devolve into people complaining about graphics haha.
Game looks cool and it's fully open world. What more can you ask for.
As far as graphics, it looks like graphics are getting a bit better each game from Sw/Sh to PLA to V/S. But it doesn't really matter, they're all fine and don't take away from the games. I probably would have never given the Sw and PLA graphics a second thought while playing if it wasn't for internet complainers, and even after seeing the complaints all I can think is yeah they're not that good but they don't distract from the game at all.
Just don't expect Pokemon to have great graphics and you'll be ok. We must remember that Pokemon games were always made for handhelds, now they have to make games for a relatively high-end system and honestly they probably just don't have artists who are talented enough. That'd be my guess. It's one thing to make 2D games or DS/3DS graphics that look good, its something else to make HD graphics that look good. Ya know, like someone who was fine doing graphics for like N64 or Dreamcast games and then suddenly has to make a modern HD game might just not have the talent or at least enough experience straight away to do that well? Could be wrong, but it's a working theory.
Anyway, the same people are gonna complain about graphics that always do, while the rest of us salivate over the first open world Pokemon game!
