Yes, I have taken that into consideration. But Nintendo was also new to HD game development and pushed out Mario 3D World and Mario kart 8 eventually. Though yes, their first HD Mario game looked like NSMB Wii, Nintendo Land did not. 

You're not wrong, it's a lot of pressure, but one would think Gamefreak would have R&D working on HD demos during the Wii U era, if not that's kind of foolhardy and gives off a procrastinator mentality. This is why you have a R&D department, so you don't fall behind the times. The screenshot, no matter how blurry it is, it still looks like a 3DS game. A similarly blurry screenshot of Breath of the Wild would not throw me for a loop as a 3DS title. 

I think it's fair to judge this screenshot because personally I've had to analyze other 3D artist's work for 6+ years. And I got bodied when I couldn't critique and analyze it well, after all that time, I can say that I find my analysis to be a fair one. The only thing seeing it in action would do is show us how smooth the animations are in this case. Getting a better resolution out of it still wouldn't speak to me. But if I'm wrong and this turns out to be the most beautiful thing ever, or better than I thought (based off the screenshot) I'll eat crow and say I was wrong in a second. But If this is final work, I don't think I will have to do that.

Worst possible news.

because...?

this is a screenshot from a hd emulation of sun/moon, the screenshot for the new game seems to have worse geometry than a 3ds game. I've gotta feeling that screenshot is fake.

Man, I'll be pissed if the pokemon title is just nostalgia fest made for genwunners and pokemon go players.....

At this point all my hype for pokemon is deflated....

Despite the abysmal name and worrying emphasis on Pokemon Go, I am mildly optimistic about this. I've always wanted a sequel to Gen 1 (20+ years down the line), with a reimagined Kanto/Johto, new Pokemon etc. However if this turned out to be another remake of the originals, with a heavy link to Pokemon Go, I'd be much less optimistic.

I can't imagine the Pokemon go integration going far beyond just transferring Pokemon you've caught from that game over to the switch game. 

Even though Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Moon are my second favourite pokemon games, I am infact pissed at those games for excessive gen1 pandering as well. 

Ever since Game Freak received backlash for Pokemon Black/White, they have gone the extreme opposite direction to having almost all gen1 mons in every game after that, and that's quite unfortunate.

Thank you, lol. The original Screenshot has ground geo that seems very flat and not varied, this looks much better design wise. It uses space to its advantage, positive and negative space. This doesn't look bad actually, I just hope they go a step further with texture quality, lighting, haze, water shaders etc. But yeah, it looks great. The other image looks like geo from X and Y and kind of grid based.
