GTS was one of my favourite additions. This blows.
Honestly, Gamefreak just seems like mess with their decision making process right now. Hopefully they right the ship soon or I'll just have to ignore future entries. Such a shame the direction they've gone in.

Mentality seems to be "throw the baby out with the bathwater" in these discussions.
The pop-in on those trees has nothing to do with fog. it's the exact same for everything in the game that's not a part of the background no matter what the weather is.How is this evidence of an unfinished game? It's a fog effect that's supposed to lower visibility. The game isn't rendering what you're not supposed to be able to see so there's pop in and that means it's unfinished? What?
It's no secret that GF aren't graphics ninjas, but this stuff just comes off like salty gamers looking for anything to jump on them for.
Edit: evidence
Gamefreak is flat out releasing an unfinished game people.
The benefit of the doubt phase should be over. They should be criticized as harshly as Bethesda or EA for this.
This is fucking embarrassing.
Maybe not as far as anti-consumer. But how would you feel if a ten year old free feature was suddenly stripped away and put into a paid service (under the assumption it'll even be in home)?
It would just be that if that were the only situation that stood out or it hadn't been nailed perfectly in every single game prior.
Name a single game that handles fog with pop-in. With video evidence please.
Also that's not even exclusive to fog:
Not sure what's more sad, that you can't see the terrible pop in of the berry trees literally 5-8 feet from the player, or that you immediately result to "mmm yes i want your salty tears".How is this evidence of an unfinished game?

The irony of you posting this image is that Let's Go legitimately looks better and more polished than SwSh. The pop-in in the clips you're responding to are not because of fog effects. They're present in literally the entire game. There's another clip out there of a player running down the main street of the big industrial city and an Onix suddenly pops into existence like 10 feet in front of him. There's a clip of trainers popping out of existence during a battle when one of the Pokemon uses a move and then popping back in once the move is complete.How is this evidence of an unfinished game?

At this point, just accept whatever they release with whatever they've cut because if we complain, we are harassing the employees of Game Freak.
Where's that Miyamotto quote about delaying games if they aren't ready? If time is the real reason well damn GF, Bank, GTS and Dexit all at once is pretty nuts. Not to mention the game essentially plays itself now with exp all being auto enabled. I digress, it'll sell boat loads anyway and life will move on.

Based on some of the stuff we have seen I'm not sure it's necessarily a fog thing.
Edit: Beaten to it.
Not surprising.
Every thread is negative news.
With GF there is always something but I'm not reacting to this till I play it.
That was the shit back then, even though the quality was crappy. The DS really was peak Gamefreak and peak Pokemon
I... feel like people tried to say the same thing about Mass Effect Andromeda and we saw how that went
It's getting hard to have any discussions when people are arguing in bad faith, and lacking in perspective when it comes to features.
"I don't like it, so good riddance." As if improving is not a thing.
It's amusing when I see all the negativity for stuff like this pre-release and then watch it instantly disappear as the game is released at retail to huge sales.
As for this specific trading system, they likely looked at the data and saw that very few people ever used GTS so they were doing a big favor by removing such an unpopular option from the menu systems thereby making them less cumbersome.

That's some 360 launch game levels of pop in lol
It's not so cute that you're pretending like what he said isn't happening my dude.
Earlier today people were saying the spoiler thread was just like vp, with nary a slur in sight.
The dishonesty has to stop.
Look, maybe the player character is so near-sighted, he couldn't see an giant rock snake from twenty feet away. We should thank Game Freak for simulating his condition.
It's true. Imagine being so upset at people because they express how much they dislike the direction a series is going?
There's A LOT MORE EXAMPLES.
How is it possible that we're still defending this!?
If this was EA or Bethesda it would be considered unacceptable!
This is an AAA switch game that looks like this:
While removing TONS of content, even online functionality to maybe sell it back to you in a monthly paid app!!
It's a minor visual bug that trainers just straight up disappear mid battle?
It's like the Fire Emblem fandom and Pokemon fandom did a switcharoo in terms of volatility.
😂Come on! Hiding GTS behind a paid subscription (Home) would be anti consumer. It's been a major part of the online suite for a decade.
If you complain about Game Freak you must be a toxic entitled baby and thus anything you say is wrong.
Bu-but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Like how is that not clear?
LMAO The GTS, not popular, please. You dropped the "/s"
The thing is, All they wuld need to do to make a bank off of MTX would be allow peopel topay real money to buy an item to turn a single pokemon shiny.
They would have made millions in days.
Let's Go was especially egregious because they were doing that on top of a 3 year dev cycle that I honestly don't think Game Freak has managed to excel with since they were developing for the GBA.
Yeah, because no one still complains about XY SM and LGPE and none of the pre-release complaints ended up valid...
That reaaaally sucks geez. Easily one of my favorite features from the newer(ish) pokemon games.
