Give me a break
Lets Go just showed one way it can be successfully done
Please, for the love of all that is holy, have better pacing and writing than Sun and Moon.
Please. It's all I ask.

Hey dawg if you don't like the anime that's fine but it's one of the first animes I've enjoyed in a while. I personally really like it.
Yeah, the "it looks like sun and moon" posts are stupid but the game doesn't look very impressive for a Switch game regardless. The art style is lovely but the tech looks incredibly dated.
Calling it now, these games will be like a new Diamond/Pearl. Nothing major in terms of changes, just the same old formula polished to pitch perfection with great Pokémon, great region and dungeons, and a great post game.
Ohmori showing up already told me what to expect lol
Great art direction but ambitionless design
Things can change. Pokemon Go got it right. The world feels more alive with Pokemon roaming
That's an absolutely rubbish excuse.
It's not about expecting BOTW tier (and even then BOTW is hardly some sacred gold standard in 2019), it's about a HD game in 2019 looking like it's come from several generations ago.
This console can do some impressive things, I mean just look at XC2, developed by a

Yup, the Gyms looks pretty incredible. I'm hoping they're using inspiration from Alola and the trials to make them feel fresh. And the region itself looks promising and fun to explore.
So far tho, most of the complaints are from people expecting "BotW Pokémon" and asking for more Let's Go stuff so... (there are a lot of genuine complaints too, it's just that these are the only people who are so down right now).
The game obviously looks much worse than Odyssey and Mario+Rabbids but looks better than Let's Go and Three Houses so ehhhhh.
The graphics are good enough. Obviously wish they were less jagged and low res, but the art and lighting are good.

How do you know that regular ass battling and capturing are back? They didn't even show the screen. IVs, EVs, moves, abilities, items, there's too many stuff still unknown. All your other points are fluff, I'm talking mechanics here.
The only thing that might happen since they showed in this video is random battles and no pokemon on the overworld.
Having wild battles where you know what they are beforehand defeats the entire point of having it be a battle at all, because it massively shifts it in the players favour and effectively makes it pointless.
That's why they were fine with removing the in let's go (the battles were gone) and why random encounters are back now (the battles are back too).
Lmao, but this is not-an-open-world with fuck all to do, too. Look how empty everything felt.
Meltan is the first gen 8 pokemon. I have been telling this for ages. A Pokemon not included in the dex of the last Mainline game (USUM) is def next gen. Let's go doesn't count.
I mean saving the 3ds did take more of nintendos resources then they expected also affecting the wii u pipeline
It should. Probably not until next year like XY/SM though.
Very conservative/traditional looking, but I'm in. And one of the starters is a grass type chimp? Even better.
400p with an awful sharpening filter? I love XC2 but come on...
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Traditional pokemon and the best fire starter since Chimchar, give me this a hundred times over some open world mess or another Let's go(which I did enjoy)

I'm pleased. Some stuff I wish they didn't remove, but that's game freak for you. But I love the way it looks.
"Yikes" is the implication that every game out there has to be a Super Mario Odyssey budgeted title.Okay besides the fact that's hardly a big upgrade, let's consider the 3DS hardware.
And then consider the Switch hardware.
And then consider we already have this:
and then you see this for what is arguably an equally successful and big franchise:
And finally consider how many assets GameFreak already have pre-made for this game for years.
That's gonna be a yikes from me, chief.
And don't give me that "Pokémon is a massive franchise" shit. Most of the big franchises out there today like Fortnite are hardly franchises that push fidelity. Part of the reason Switch exists in the first place and Nintendo merged development divisions was never to suddenly bump up every single game to Zelda or Odyssey levels.
Game Freak owns a sizable chunk of the franchise (over 30%, if I recall correctly, which is around what Nintendo & Creatures each have), that's not gonna happen.
