I know that Wailord is getting gimped in this game. I have no hope for having scaled Pokemon even when there's no longer a screen restriction like with the 3DS.

Thank you all. This really annoys me, like the Snorlax and Tyranitar are so glaringly off it looks so strange
Didn't a different portion of GF work on it while SwSh were in development by another portion?

Honestly, I don't understand why this isn't something they aimed to achieve with the 1st traditional Pokemon game on Switch. It looks so baaaad.
Facing Brock's onixwith a starter was friken cool. You can feel uneasy just by how Big onix was.
Yup, and it had a great effect in conveying the Pokemon's scale and character:
One would think with a smaller roster of Pokemon and updated textures (as well as the whole Dynamax mechanic) this is something they'd pay attention to. Eh.

Again, it's just the angle. The scale is the same
oops double post
That Venusaur is really small too.
Snorlax seems the same to me
Are you using the Snorlax pic to determine the scale ? Because the angle clearly throw it off. Snorlax is bigger than the trainer.
That bag is interesting from what I can assess:The official site has updated with more specifics regarding mechanics, like Max Raid Battles leading to Hidden Abilities etc.
What are the menu options 2nd and 3rd from the right?
--Heal Items
-Pokeballs
-Battle Items
-Ingredients
-Other Items
-TMs
-Shiny Pearl? Sellabe Items?
-Paintbrush?
-Key Items
The paintbrush is interesting. I thino customization on the fly will be possible instead of just Pokemon Centers, finally. Also love how the UI is cohesive for everything, always hated how the bag had its own special look. Also ranked battles having actual ranks instead of an arbitrary number starting at 1500 is so good,
The Pokémon have never been properly to scale in mainline games. Back when they were using sprites, it made sense because of how sprites work, and it sort of made sense on the 3DS, because both resolution and screen size were very small, but now on Switch the lack of proper scaling is getting increasingly difficult to justify.

That UI is gorgeous, man. Love the look of it.
Only outside of battle, scroll up a bit to see comparisons.
Just saw, thank you. IMO I think it should be the opposite if not properly for both
I'm completely bombed, so bear with me. And I just realized something. The bell pepper looking icon is for the berries which I completely skipped and the paintbrush and paint holding wooden thing ia a bowl of stew. Why exactly?
The leak mentioned you can make curry while camping and you can find ingredients in the Wild Area as shown during the Threehouse section, that's probably the pocket for those items
as for the shiny orb icon... no idea
Yeah I know but the bell pepper for berries isnflipping me out cause its a bell pepper not an Oran Berry or Cheri or something.
Right, just weirded out is all, again I'm bombed and I am very hung up on it, won't give a fuck by tomorrow. In any case the globe is interesting, I wonder if its mega stones and gigantamax stones or something.
They said megas aren't in the game and Dynamax/Gigantamax don't need held items, it's certainly weird
Sword and Shield should still have better Pokemon scaling, especially since the trainers are full-sized and not chibi like in Let's Go. The overworld Pokemon look great:
But the effect is undercut when you go into battle:
I'm not sure why the size disparity there exists when it's the same model, and screen crunch isn't an issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because for some Pokemon battles it would be stupid such as Onix (28'10") vs Mimikyu (0'08"). How is that meant to be shown on screen? That's a 44 times difference in size. The camera would have to zoom out to see Onix and then you wouldn't be able to see Mimikyu.
I don't care if the 3D models match the scale of the Pokedex, it makes sense that they would scale up tiny Pokemon. I just want the scale of larger Pokemon to match their overworld scale. They also already deal with the camera angles of very large Pokemon with dynamaxing, I don't see the issue of Tyranitar being two feet taller than the trainer in battle.
I'm happy with the trailer, this is what I kept saying, they could show us new things without revealing new Pokémon.
But at the same time, even though I thought I had moved on already, the more older Pokémon I see confirmed, the weirdest it feels to know that there are some Pokémon, we don't know how many, that won't appear in these games at all. Like, just when I thought I had accepted it, I find out that it still makes me feel sick.
Scale seems weird, but overall they look great, like, the hd-ness of it all, so I'm fine.
And yes, I agree with everyone, whoever designed that UI should do it for every upcoming game from now on. It's gorgeous.

They should at least have a large, medium and small general size to convey differences. It's just as weird to see mimikyu the same size as an onyx who's the same size as the trainer.
Is it? Should be fleshed out a bit more, seeing Snorlax and tyranitar be the same size as their trainer is weird at least then.
Why do you have to see Mimikyu in this case? The game would already zoom into Mimikyu when it attacks, so it's not like the model would be totally hidden the entire battle
Onix vs Diglett worked fine in Pokemon Stadium, and that was at a lower resolution than the Switch's screen
I think besides the scaling of the Pokémon, it makes it look even weirder that they show this humongous battlefield, only to have the 4 Pokémon in a space of 4.5 tiles or so, their faces almost touching.
I just saw that Whimsicott is confirmed, so yay I guess. But what about Jumpluff? :(

Well the rest of the area is needed for the dynamax Pokémon
You'd think they could get everything to scale seeing as they don;t have to worry about every Pokemon being in. Don;t want to have a Wailord up against a Joltik? Then don't of one (or both) of them in the game.
Yes, but that doesn't stop it looking bad when there's no dyna/gigantamax Pokemon in play.
nah, that's the shit I've been waiting for. besides, they have rotom cameras to get in for close ups
Okay, after some more viewings, here is what I have to say:
1. Japanese trailers keep confirming that the soundtrack is amazing:
2. Galarian Weezing can be used to Negate Slow Start on Regigigas. When and if the opportunity appears that meta is gonna be spicy. Also counters weather and terrain metas 1st turn. Hot Damn.
3. Something tells me with that Corviknight cry in the Jap. Trailer that its gonna be the 3rd Stage in a Galarian Skarmory Line. It just sounds too similar. Dunno if it could work like that with no type change however.

It doesn't sound that similar to Skarmory. It actually sounds more similar to Honchkrow.
I actually wondered that too, but would they make a Galarian Murkrow line that is Steel Flying, when Skarmory already is a Gen 2 Steel/Flying Pokemon?
They could just make regular Murkrow evolve into Corviknight in Galar, and axe Honchkrow. No Galarian Murkrow needed. Or even just make Murkrow have 2 evolutions, since Honchkrow is just a simple stone evolution.
This is so bizarre considering they all use the same models nowLet's Go was only to scale outside of battles, like SWSH:
The difference between Let's Go and SwSh isn't that weird. Two separate teams working on separate sets of games. The loss of properly-scaled Pokemon hurts, though.
