We got a slew of updates post credits mission and minor additions but no HOME compatibility. Good grief i was hoping for that compatibility update all week.
Yes the ever looming threat of internet rules. To put it simply Rule 46 "If it exists there is, furry of it." Add that to Rule 34 "If it exists, there is porn of it."
I believe it's because the gameplay has plateau'd. There can be optimisations to the gameplay, but in the same way that graphics and framerate can be improved.
In what games u encountered frame rate drops? In handheld mode or TV mode?
Visuals are important for every game, and people are just mad because some modern Pokémon games look worse than indie projects despite being part of the world's most valuable media franchise. I don't think Pokémon fans are asking for games that look like Red Dead Redemption 2 or something (and if they do, they're expecting too much from the Switch); I just think people want a game that looks visually appealing.
I’m not sure pokemon is capable of that lmao
lmao definitely not on a system as underpowered as a Switch. On more powerful hardware...sure, they're capable of it, but why bother when you can rush out something that looks 'good enough'?
That’s a sad state of affairs tbh, and i blame capitalism for it. Sometimes communism sounds like a much better trade off (not that it is lmao).
The problem is that they don't have more powerful hardware. Pokemon is a Nintendo exclusive, and until Nintendo comes out with something that's better than a 2015-era SOC with a Maxwell GPU, they're stuck with what they have.
Oh I'm well aware, we're def not getting anything close to modern-day graphics for Pokémon games anytime soon. With that being said, BotW-tier graphics would be pretty nice, especially considering how long that game's been out already...
I'm hoping for customization to help with that, which will most likely exist in the new games.
At least the hat isn’t as ugly as the one on SM. I took that thing off the very first chance that I had gotten. The SwSh default hat was also unattractive I thought. The default hats of both protagonists have been pretty awful looking since Gen VI with only the female in USUM looking good.
Believe it or not, this is also a callback to Eevee's Pokédex entry back in Gen 1, which stated that Eevee reacted to different stones. That was its main gimmick until they added new evolution methods. In fact, IIRC, Umbreon was supposed to be Poison type and evolve using a Poison Stone, but those were scraped for Dark.
