Lol when? So far we've only seen the protagonist creepily stare haven't we?
If I'm wrong, I really don't think it's to the degree of a "wide array of facial expressions" but I'm happy to be proven wrong

But the animations aren't
E-mail, Support, Twitter yes.
Harassing developers...no
I think it's horrible to see not only their social media (even on posts prior to E3 where it's clearly someone putting up a lighthearted post, like a fun fact) but to see on posts from journalists who just interviewed TPC that there are childish and harassing comments.
There is a correct way to vocalize concerns and create action, throwing rocks at humans just doing their job is not an example of such.
Nice goalpost movingyeah, that's pretty terrifying. I would not call that a massive leap forward in facial animation lol
Just looking at the official account, people are just tweeting the hashtag to them. Seems pretty benign.I think it's horrible to see not only their social media (even on posts prior to E3 where it's clearly someone putting up a lighthearted post, like a fun fact) but to see on posts from journalists who just interviewed TPC that there are childish and harassing comments.

Looking at some news that came out yesterday, there are some limitations on the Pokemon Bank. Only the Galar region Pokedex is only going to be accessible. Can you walk me through why that decision was made, and why you think it's important to have that limitation?
Junichi Masuda, Producer: There are a couple of different parts to the thinking behind it, but really the biggest reason for it is just the sheer number of Pokemon. We already have well over 800 Pokemon species, and there's going to be more added in these games. And now that they're on the Nintendo Switch, we're creating it with much higher fidelity with higher quality animations. But even more than that, it's coming down to the battle system. We're making sure we can keep everything balanced and give all the Pokemon that appear in the games a chance to shine.
Wuh? I think it looks perfectly fine.yeah, that's pretty terrifying. I would not call that a massive leap forward in facial animation lol
I did it once to see how it worked and stopped cause I didn't want to make the game even easier.How many of you actually care about Amie/Refresh beyond giving Eevee two hearts to evolve into Sylveon?
Like they didnt even have it in Lets Go outside of the partners, and that was only 153 Pokémon
You said the MC only had one expression, the standard happy smile. I showed you it's not the case and now you're moving the goalpost. It's also not staring ahead in all the shots. It's an anime style, look at other games like this and you'll find it's not that different. We also have only seen a small part of the game.How have I moved the goalpost? The male protagonist, even in your personally selected pictures, is staring straight ahead with almost no expression in several shots.
My exact comment said "If I'm wrong, I really don't think it's to the degree of a "wide array of facial expressions" but I'm happy to be proven wrong "
There are PS3 games with more expressive facial expressions, this is not some cutting edge "wide array" that is enough to justify cutting pokemon.
I sure look forward to seeing more classic animations like Pikachu using Floaty Fall or Toucannon using Supersonic Skystrike.
The combat part is BS and they know it. Regional pokemon also get the change to shine regardless of what happens as they are the normal experience for most of the userbase.And now that they're on the Nintendo Switch, we're creating it with much higher fidelity with higher quality animations.

And so far we haven't seen any evidence of higher quality animations.
I love that Pokemon are still using basic hopping animations 😂 Plus flying Pokemon STILL don't land
The additional animations they talked about are not for dynamax: they just embiggen the existing ones.
It's more probable it's due to the new camping feature, which is the improved Pokemon Amie.
"If I'm wrong, I really don't think it's to the degree of a "wide array of facial expressions" but I'm happy to be proven wrong "
I'm not sure how you can interpret this as "He only has one expression"
yeah, this.
If this were some monumental jump for pokemon, that'd be one thing. But we're re-using models, getting the same pasted-expression protagonist, and spending time on things like "Pokemon but bigger"

Ok but if he's gonna use that as an excuse the treehouse demo could've showcased these fabled animations. The old mons there were as static as ever, with the amount Wingull with their wings open hovering the overworld being even embarrasing.
I don't see any evidence of the models having higher res textures when giant. The Max moves just use the same 2 attack animations for the Pokemon.You don't just "embiggen" the existing animations. You increase the quality of textures to ensure the quality is on part with how large the model is, and see how the animations (as well as other special effects) impact the engine. And then there's the issue with animating the new "Max" moves in relation to the large models.
So yeah, you're making it a lot simpler than it actually is.
So let's make bets on what Pokemon will never see the light of day again in a mainline Pokemon title.
Phione? Hypno? Alolan Golem?
Do these high quality animations mean that Blastoise can shoot water out of both cannons now?
They've literally been lying to use for years about making sure we can use our Pokemon in new games just to get our money.So they've been planning for a while to just quit supporting all the Pokemon?
This is maddening.

You know there are some that are just going to be plain forgotten. Like three gens from now Game Freak just won't notice that they've never let someone use their Maractus.I think Kadabra is a safe bet because of the lawsuit
Jynx maybe because of the racial backlash?

not really sure if that's a lieThey've literally been lying to use for years about making sure we can use our Pokemon in new games just to get our money.
Only a priority when it comes to milking people for cash for their Pokemon Home scam.not really sure if that's a lie
for a time that was a priority for them. now it no longer is.
Masuda said they knew they wouldn't be able to support them all forever, yet for years they have gone on about how they want to make sure we can continue to use our old Pokemon. Masuda said something similar just TWO weeks ago.not really sure if that's a lie
for a time that was a priority for them. now it no longer is.
lol @ anyone thinking Gen 1 Pokémon won't ever come back. They're all coming back. Sinnoh and Unuva are getting screwed over.
It was literally a priority for them 2 weeks ago at the Pokemon conferencenot really sure if that's a lie
for a time that was a priority for them. now it no longer is.
They tried to sell Pokemon Home two weeks agonot really sure if that's a lie
for a time that was a priority for them. now it no longer is.
It was just an excuse he had to come up with to try to justy this.Masuda said they knew they wouldn't be able to support them all forever, yet for years they have gone on about how they want to make sure we can continue to use our old Pokemon. Masuda said something similar just TWO weeks ago.
Game Freak is looking scummier by the minute.
