New Gameplay Graphics Discussion Thread

[indospot]

I hope the Attacks really uses the 3D effects well. ^^ And I hope that, when a Pkmn faints, it will fall over/lie down, and not just fall through the ground (which would look pretty hilarious in 3D I'm sure).

Portals!! lol... I agree, it would be nive if they actually had a fainting animation. Though animations and models for over 700 Pokémon, plus the overworld and everything will probably use a considerable amount of space in a 3DS cartridge. I hope they won't have to cut anything off. There's 4GB cartridges for a reason.

Well, Portans does make everything better in every way... but I would guess they actually will have Fainting animations, even if there are a lot of them. ^^ Though, I wouldn't mind much if they just Portaled away~

Also, there better be at least 750 Pkmn after this game... ^^

Well since in other 3D Pokemon games, all Pokemon had fainting animations, I would expect this game to be no different.

Maybe they'll have animation of the Pokemon returning to its Pokeball. I'd like that idea.

[Plummy]

As for overworld, one more thing.. When we see the character walking on what is presumably Route 3. The landscape in the background looks bad. Like Skyward Sword background bad.. I know a lot of people were excited about Skyward Sword, but I honestly got headaches from the backgrounds being so blurry.

Oh and I just wanted to say that the "blurryness" was somewhat intentional in Skyward Sword. The game graphics are inspired by the artist father of cubism, Cezanne, and the backgrounds are supposed to resemble his artwork/have a more cubistic landscape feel when looked upon from far away. I never thought of it as blurry though, and never got headaches. But I guess we're all different people c:

In general DS three dimensional graphics tend to be a bit blurry though, I agree. At least in the 3DS it doesn't seem to have these washed out colours as DS games such as FFIV etc got. Instead it's very bright and colourful. The battle graphics are great. I can't wait. It'll feel like holding a tiny pokémon stadium or something.

I sort of hope the graphics with bigger trainer models might come with the possibility to slightly modify your trainer? That would be super fun and something a lot of people have been wanting for years!

I've got a feeling they'll just stick for the standard "falling through the ground" idea. Personally I don't think that the introduction of 3D graphics constitutes for a change in that respect of battle animations.

I never really saw Cubist influences in Skyward Sword's graphics, just mainly Impressionist-influenced styles.

I don't like the new camera angle. Maybe if they bring it up I won't mind. And they may use sprites for the pokedex. Who knows?

I personally like the new angles. Personally I feel the only draw back from having all these new anmations are how much slower battles will become - more specifically how much slower EV training will become!
I really hope then that there's a way to turn battle animations off like in previous games.

I'm curious to see what the animation will look like when you're surfing/fishing and you encounter a Gyarados !!

Ooh! I would definatley love to see that! I would imagine a Gyrados would pop out of the water like how it poped out of the water fall in Pokemon Snap!

Not to mention that the 3DS can install "Extra Data".

Meaning what?

[diakyu]

Meaning what?

They can add new things into the game that wasn't there before.

Well that is some sexy news right there.

I'm more curious about seeing the actual pokemon you're surfing/flying on, rather than the generic silhouette fish/bird thing.

I'd like to see surfing on an Azurill :P

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Yeah and flying on a Pidgey!

[carboncopy]

Yeah and flying on a Pidgey!

Lol that is just one of the many weird things in Pokémon !

[BBtheASH]

So its going to have updates.....hmmmm this is very pleasing to me.
Just because I remember when skyrim would get updates I would get sooo excited!
I love this idea very much!

[Flame Haji]

For that reason (the small surfing/flying pokemon) I think we will still have the black blob pokemon to surf/fly on, just in 3D graphics. To keep it safe.

Not that I would hate it not being the blobs, I would love to fly on a pokemon I pick in the game. But I don't think it will happen.
