Leaving the bad graphics topic aside, Im actually liking the design of the few new mons that have been revealed, even the legendaries.
The human characters tho? Eh. Not so much.
But calling a pig pokemon "Lechonk" is peak big brain time.

Not into Pokemon but the fact they are showing this now, does this mean there will not be a direct this month?

Pokemon has been showing their games separately for years now.

The website says it is.

Turns out tobyfox did some of the music for the new Pokémon games

Why are you talking as if last Pokemon games have story in first place ?

At this point asking for a better graphics for Pokemon is like asking for a decent music from Nickelback. Just enjoy the game just like you enjoy Nickee..... yeah this is a bad analogy.

yay marijuana cat!

Well, it's still an RPG, you'd expect a solid story at the very least. Plus the fact Pokemon has had good, solid stories in the past.

It needs to be delayed for at least a year to improve the look of the game. It's slightly more colorful than arceus which for me was the one of the ugliest switch game to date. Just hope the gameplay fairs better than arceus as I Do not want to catch the same pokemon millions of times to reach research level 10. 50 hours into arceus and I am trying to finish it as its getting repetitive

They're slowly improving. That is all we can expect from GameFreak. Animation work is passable now, rather than garbage. Visuals are pleasant enough. I like the legendaries.
