Pokémon Presents Announced For 8th August 2023
Really hoping for a new Legends game. Legends Arceus was the first pokemon game I felt the desire to finish in ten years. It was so unique and interesting. It was very very very rough around the edges, but here's to hoping that the smaller scope could make a game that's more polished than Scarlet and Violet and maybe a bit prettier too.
Honestly at this point I almost feel like the only way a Pokemon game with decent graphics could release is if Gamefreak outsources the development.
The fact that Scarlett and Violet are not polished is ludicrous. They are most likely the same engine as Sword and Shield.
The Legends game was awesome for a Pokemon game. It definitely has a more modern feel than what we recently got. Still, the "Legends engine" was still missing a ton of features like abilities. I'm certain Legends was just a demo for the brand new engine.
I also doubt GameFreak as a developer studio. Imagine having the resources behind the world's biggest cross-media franchise and your video games look and feel outdated by two decades. At least Legends Arecus was up there with Monster Hunter Tri (while lacking Arecus was very fun to be fair).
Arceus was a very fun game in a very ugly package. I had a blast playing it and I was so hyped for what it would bring to S/V.
S/V were FUN games and I liked many things about it so much more than Sword and Shield. But many of the QOL features from Arceus wasn't in S/V was, frankly, a huge disappointment. The fact that Tears of the Kingdom managed an open world larger than Pokemon with so much more polish and refinement is ridiculous. Gamefreak NEEDS to increase the size of their dev teams. Or work with another studio. Or just give the game creation rights to another studio. ANYTHING to give Pokemon the love it deserves.
Totally agree. Legends Arceus was the first Pokemon game I bought in 20 years because they trimmed down the scope so much. It and Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee are great in their focus on catching plus a little bit of battling.
Please Lord, give me a Pokemon Game that looks and feels like a 2020 and not a 2010 game.
With how much money this property generates, it makes zero sense why the games look the way they do. How are indie games like Temtem out-competing Pokemon's visuals?
Do we have any hope for anything new from the mainline games?
Probably not, they haven’t even released DLC yet.
We can only hope that the engine from Legends Arecus will be feature rich and complete for Pokemon 10th gen.
The DLCs are new and from the mainline games.
If you meant new games, probably not. I dont think they would announce a new game with dlcs on the way
35 minutes hopefully leaves enough time to announce a new game, or maybe not since they have to make trailers for every single mobile game to pad these out. Fingers crossed for a new Mystery Dungeon title or a remake of Explorers of Sky.
I know it is too much to hope for, but I would love for a rerelease of Red and Blue with single system trading (start a trade on one version, pause the ROM, switch to the other version, and accept the trade) or trading via Pokemon Home. Then move to Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire. I would love to relive Pokemon history and build a complete monster collection. I would pay for Switch Online, the Expansion Pack, Pokemon Home Premium, and maybe even a bit more for it.
Imagine if Pokémon Concierge but it's white lotus. That would be amazing.
HYPE!
Cool, so that data mine was legit after.
