So, what do you think now? Leaks were accurate and Gamefreak is making the DP remakes.

It was okay, but the Pokémon in both the remakes and Legends Arceus looked virtually the same. It's jarring. 

The remakes looked cute

Sinnoh remakes looks awful, low budget and inferior to any 3DS Pokemon game

Clearly a rushed release to milk the fans, and worse: fans gonna buy it


Arceus games though looks promising, Nintendo will need to help GameFreak here if they want to meet the deadline, GF in general are severely limited when it comes to developing games, arguably the worst studio among Nintendo partners

Pokemon remakes look kind of eh. The mixture of Let's Go's art style but with the darker color scheme of SwSh resulted in a lot of bland looking lighting I feel like.

Legends looks really cool *conceptually*, but we could see a ton of performance issues and empty worlds. So it depends on how gamefreak polishes the game before launch. I always thought Pokemon BOTW would be cool, but of course it depends on how competent the developers are to make the coolness a reality. So we'll see.

Really excited for Legends: Arceus!

SO Legends is exactly what I've been demanding of the main series since the transition to Switch. Better late then never & it seems like Gamefreak is using it as a learning curve. I'm suspecting:

1. Much smaller pokedex.
2. Less content in general

And thats absolutely fine for me. Quality over quantity. I always shit on them but its clear that they're determined to catch up with peoples expectations here. Framerate aside it looks a very strong improvement over S/S. Hopefully this will be the future direction of the franchise once they get more accustomed to open world development.

Breath of the Arceus looks interesting, but if GF struggled with SWSh's performance already, this is going to be nightmarish for them.

Remakes look bad, not because the isometric perspective but because the art direction seems closer to a off-brand toy tie-in....

Holy Mother of God... they did it. They managed to entirely destroy the little hope I had for the series. And I barely had any left.

Diamond and Pearl have to be the laziest remakes ever made. Even Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee looked better. Those graphics... that artstyle... WTF were they thinking? Why would I ever want to play that over Pokémon Platinum?

And Pokémon Legends: Arceus feels even worse somehow. Yeah, it's an open world. But everything looks so bland, so empty, so clunky, so... boring. I don't know, I hope this is because they still have to polish the game in the year they have remaining... but as for right now I'm not impressed at all.
