Forums - Nintendo - Pokemon main series will be in HD by 2025

Tagged games:

According to maths : 

  15 bits RGB   18 bits RGB   3D   HD
VG 1990   1994   1994   2005
Pokemon 1999   2010   2013   2025
               
- 9   16   19   20
      +77,78%   +18,75%   +4,52%
               
          x24,11%   x24,11%

Now you could argue that these maths are retarded, and they are, but is it really more retarded than saying how awesome it is that pokemon is now 3D in 2014 ?

Now, will the first main series Pokemon game HD release before or after 2025 ? discuss.

Wasn't Black and White's overworld in 3D?
Nextendo HH will be HD, and that should release in this decade.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Hopefully the next pokemon games are for console and handheld.

Actually Diamond & Pearl already had 3D overworlds, while Black & White moved another step with moving cameras and 3D battle scenarios, but obviously they only made the step to full 3D in X & Y.

Obviously this means Pokemon will be partially HD in a few years, but not full HD for a while yet.



I wouldnt doubt it overall since Nintendo handhelds arent exactly the cutting edge when it comes to technology so its a possibility

Everyone thinks 3DS is going away so soon, but New 3DS has yet to get here and it'll probably last a few years and have it's own exclusive Pokemon, just as the Game Boy Color did. So I'm thinking the HD handheld will be here 2018 at the earliest, and HD Pokemon might not come until 2020 or even 2021.

Yeah, but no. It will be HD when the HD Nintendo handheld arrives, which should be next-gen. Even if we get a 3DS 7th generation of Pokémon, it's still most likely making it this decade (if not, 2020 at latest).

Thats pressuming Nintendo go HD next gen, while I believe they definitely should the 3DS is only 240p and the Vita is 544p (if I got that right). Could totally see Nintendo staying sub HD.

OT: Would hardly call Pokemon 3D, since I was a child all I wanted was a real 3D Pokemon but it seems only fans can make those until Nintendo shuts them down.

Well no one said Full HD. Still, that depends only on whether Nintendo does it or not, but I don't think they'd make a 1080p handheld this soon.

I was joking that certain assets will be HD while most assets will be sub-HD, as with the mix of 2D and 3D assets in the DS generations.

The joke kind of falls flat because it is possible (though I don't know how common) to use sub-HD textures in an HD resolution.

However, the definition of 'HD' is kind of flimsy since the PS3 and 360 were HD consoles yet had many games dipping well below 720p. And the Vita is frequently called HD even though its display resolution is 960 x 544.

Well, considering the Vita is 544p maybe Nintendo's next handheld won't be 720p, but for all I care the Vita is Full HD, even if not technically. I can barely see pixels on the tiny 3DS screen, let alone the Vita.

What?? Its only qHD, its fact. You cant just decide its full HD =P

Also you should look at pics of 3DS blown up -_-

Sooo ugly =P

I'd like a better resolution than the 3DS but beyond that I'm not picky. We've just about reached diminishing returns on the base 3DS model. On the XL the lower resolution is a bit more apparent. 480 or even 360 would probably suit me just fine.
