God damn how fucking retarded is Gamefreak?

But But the Switch 2 can display up to 120hz!!!

it'll still sell 10 million copies

Pokemonfags deserve this.

do nothing during the entire development time

sell 1 billion copies

until pokemon craters, they won't even begin to do any work.

pokemon cratering

they will never put in the effort, they don't need to.

they wish they were still making ds games

never in history have game designers been carried so hard by their merchandising department

3D was a mistake. It was always reserved for something special

i mean, do they have any proof or is it just some "journo" posting shit

Everyone but nintendo loses with pokemon. Pokemon fans lose because thye get a shit game that constantly gets shittier. The former fans lose because they further see the series decline. other game devs lose because the pokemon game will steal their sales if they release anything remotely near a pokemon game release. Pokemon clones lose because nintendo will sue them.
Nintendo wins because they get a fuck zillion dollars because the pokemon fans are self hating sheep that will buy anything with pokemon on the cover.

Too bad the 5th gen was pixelated nightmare along with they a dogshit 3D world

digimon managed to make 3d games without it looking like an undergrad unity project

5th Gen was kino, stay mad.

Good content but shitty region.

I hate when people say "durr why bother making a better looking game when it still sells?" Surely a game with much better presentation could pull at least a few million more sales/ Imagine if they hired a couple dozen more experienced developers that can make a competently made looking game. A better looking game can convince a lot more people to check it out, and would also greatly help the reputation of Pokemon. Am I stupid for believing this? Why is it so unreasonable?

FAKE NEWS

HE DELETED THE TWEET

IT WAS FAKE

Surely a game with much better presentation could pull at least a few million more sales

Yeah, but it'd cost a LOT more to produce and take longer to develop. Why bother when they fulfil their bottom line with this annually-released garbage anyway? It's more profitable to release these low-effort Pokemon games more frequently, than it is to release a high-quality title less often.

This dude looks like a baby

5th Gen was really the last time Game Freak put any effort into their games. It was before the gen gimmick era, when they were still trying to deepen the battle mechanics and tell a good story. After Gen 5 failed to meet sales expectations, the suits took over instead of the creatives and every gen since has been heavily nostalgia driven and superficial gimmicks.

It's fine, at least it will still run at 4k 120FPS on Ryujin-

oh.

Meanwhile cyberpunk runs 25 to 40.

It's literal hearsay OP posted to farm rage (you)s.

Turns out the video the clip was from was made on March 31st, so it doesn't have the Switch 2's footage accounted for

Game Freak

ever being remotely competent

You could give them a console with the equivalent of a RTX 5090 and the game would still look and run like shit. Poketurds will buy it anyway, so you get what you fucking deserve.

Can Digital Foundry fucking die already?

Cyberpunk is also a 7 week build that hasn't even implemented DLSS yet.

it's literally just the guy watching a youtube video and saying "mmh this looks like 20fps to me". That's what counts as scientific method for seething snoytrannies.

elon musk should buy the pokemon company

the truth is the switch 2 is just a switch pro renamed

A few million more sales, which aren't even guaranteed, are not a strong enough incentive for Game Freak to work harder when their current shovelware is already the highest-grossing franchise on the planet as it is now. Nintendo's never going to step in either for the same reason.
If Pokemon fans wanted better products, they would close their fucking wallets. And not just for the games. No more trading cards, no more merchandise, no more gacha rolls in Masters, not one red cent for anything until they stopped releasing hot garbage. And that's never going to happen. Women and children are going to keep buying plushies no matter what the games are like and they make the most money for Pokemon, not you.

pokeniggers love eating shit though so i don't see how this is a loss for them

elon musk should buy the pokemon company

Half those lazy faggot developers would be fired and Game Freak would STILL release better performing products with a better incentive structure.

Didn't the last game hit that amount in like two or three days?

Even Nintendo loses with Pokemon. SV was a huge blow to their image.

so it performs as expected

So was Sword and Shield. They don't give a fuck about their image because they understand everyone will still buy the product regardless of quality. It's why they don't remotely try to do better.

SV was the highest selling pokemon game or all time

the game isn't out yet, how do they know it's 20fps. Like I wouldn't put it past them, but there's no demo of it out or anything.

oh they were lying. lmao.

I've never seen as much lying misinfo about an upcoming console as the switch 2, it's kind of incredible
Feels like dozens of people are invested in trying to damage the sales of the console

How dare you say anything negative about Daddy Nintendo!!!

Worse than SV

Oh no no no no no

IGN lying

shocker

well it wouldn't have been a huge blow if nobody knew about it

that'll be $90 + tax + tip + tariff + online subscription

No switch games cost $90

Most things on the internet are fabrications at this point.

Modern Nintendo

With the Jewish Doug Bowser at the wheel

Caring about image and not money

You are a comedian, anon

Schizobabble

before

Who cares about fps lol

now

New tendie switch 1 game runs like shit and that's a good thing because it will be able to show the true power of the switch 2!

you guys say this like anyone who buys these games care
SWSH sold half the game to you as DLC, nobody cared
SV was a bug infested mess, nobody cared
a quality product left a long time ago after Gen 5

games are $90!

all switch games are on key cards!

key cards have always online!

switch 2 versions of games have a download code!

pokemon runs at 22 fps on switch 2!

Literally every single day it's some new lie

Kek no way

$80 is still too much, don't pretend that it isn't just because $90 would be even worse

can

But it wont lmao

There is one game that's $80, I highly doubt it's going to be very often they release $80 games if they didn't even value Donkey Kong at $80

I highly doubt it's going to be very often they release $80 games

Famous last words...

Prime 4 is 120 fps in Performance Mode

They only did one $70 game for the entire life of the first switch.

Who even cares anymore? They are selling a name before they sell a game.

The Gamefreak games are the LEAST important part of the franchise, bar creating the designs for the new pokemon that will then be turned into all sorts of merchandise.

TPC is the king shit of the turd mountain that is the franchise.

but spreading lies gives nintendo defenders less reason to believe the truth.

someone please figure out how to add new pokemon to the legends arceus game, i'll suck your dick.

Is this legit?
I'm not buying now if this is true.

See
He made that post based on a clip talking about switch 1 footage before the switch 2 was revealed

also

20fps, even on the switch 2.

how do they know this? im pretty sure the legends A-Z game wasn't even available there besides MKWorld. did u type this in discord and screenshotted yourself? are you retarded?

Gamefreak is retarded, of that I have no doubt.
But

Switch 2 reveal

DF makes video say that DLSS and Raytracing are not on Switch 2

the literal next day Nvidia says Switch 2 will have DLSS and Ray Tracing

doesn't put out a correction

makes a video with IGN about how DLSS and Ray Tracing are of course present and are the future of Switch 2

Lying, ugly, grifting channel

Play BDSP mods. They even has Megas

This is normal for outsourced nintendo games.
Didn't you guys play fire emblem three houses? or those shitty zelda games links awakening and outsourcing of wisdom?
They all ran like garbage.
Even Astral Chain's performance shit the bed regularly.

i dont find main line games fun. Legends Arceus was really addicting and felt like a real single player game with skills actually being fun to use.

the literal next day Nvidia says Switch 2 will have DLSS and Ray Tracing

With no examples, DF was saying in the trailer footage neither was scene. So saying "some games will use it" also doesn't even mean Nintendo first party will use either

There are two other games for $80. I know, I know. Those don’t count because it’s okay when Nintendo does it.

This is far more or a Gamefreak are incompetent issue than a Switch 2. We know it's an underpowered console compared to the competition but we also know that. BOTW & TOTK ran a million times better on switch one than Ganefreaks output on on the console.

No, those are $60 games with $20 expansions

Being this much of a newfag to how shit GF are

If it runs poorly even on the Switch 2, Pokemon shills need to stop defending this shit company anyway and acknowledge that GameFreak is fucking incompetent.

the game could be 20 minutes long and cost $500 and pokedrones would still buy it 10 million times while praising the "short, sweet and streamlined experience"

That way you can see each frame 6 times! I bet your Steam Deck can't do that!

Pokemon only has a "bad image" on the internet. No normalfag (most of the audience) give a shit about glitches and whatever else you're all whining about.

i once showed my dad botw and he asked "is it supposed to look like that?"
the normalfags also think nintendo games are ugly

Odd, my dad thought BotW looked amazing, but that Odyssey was ugly.

Did they get hands on with the game or something?
Is there a video?

I predict that this becomes a flop on a Pokemon game level. Either this or the following game.
The city setting is gay, the character designs are ass and it will be another visual and technical joke.

You can deliver mediocrity for a while, but you will still lose out on the average consumer after one or two turds.
This should be a system seller for Nintendo. If it doesn't meet expectation GF will be put under pressure

Quite frankly, I want to become a pokemon.
Which one should I choose?

Ok if this is true I'm not getting a Switch

even on the Switch 2

It's actually over for Nintendo. Holy fuck how do you release a current gen console with drops to 20 FPS

3D chinpookoman runs like dog shit

always has, always will

OIG.QDEAyMJ4.jpg - 1024x1024, 283.54K

Plainly observable things aren't schizobabble

20FPS MLMAO

It's going to be incredibly successful because it's pokemon. The large majority of people who play video games, especially on Nintendo devices, do not care about the game's performance. They will buy it because it's pokemon. Unfortunately, it's just that kind of brand name, there's nothing you can do.

something about this guy just creeps me out
his eyes always seem dilated and he has a lisp that forms spit in the corners of his mouth
I get the feeling he stinks too just from looking at him

He’s a canadian, if that helps.

hah.png - 1800x1169, 1.27M

it's not just the performance which is likely more a Switch1 thing. The setting is bad.
The negative effect of the last title being lackluster will only now become noticeable and become a wakeup call. The fact that it sold so well might be even more damaging to the franchise.
This title won't be a return to form which is a good reason to skip it

you're ugleh

they could release literal pokemon brand bags of shit and pokedrones would still buy it out
I dont think theres a group anywhere on the planet with lower standards than them

HOW? Legit, how? How can the Switch run a massive open world game like Xenoblade X just fine (which is not only vast, but has a lot of verticality and is filled with shit on screen at all times), but then struggle with something that looks worse than a modern mobile game, like the new Pokémon? It makes no fucking sense. Is it the engine? Is it pure incompetence? I don't get it. This game even had a longer development time and is set in a single city.

Since the console isn't out yet and there's no direct footage of third-party games like Cyberpunk besides what was shown in the Direct, they're literally guesstimating things right now, it's fucking hilarious. They downloaded the Direct feed directly and are literally counting pixels to do analyses of the Switch 2. Last week they said it was definitely at least as powerful as a PS4 pro and then yesterday they flopped to saying it's 'just PS4' level, despite games like Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2 looking better than the Series S version. Like, yeah the Series S version probably looks like shit cause Capcom didn't give a fuck, but at the end of the day, the end result is that the Switch 2 can trade blows with a Series S.

Sometimes I wonder what Pokemon could be if Gamefreak disappeared

Gamefreak are absolute geniuses. They can shit out low effort slop and Poketards will pay full price every time.

it looks better than previous games.

Z-A has such a bland art direction, that even if it is better from a technical stand-point, to me still looks worse than Legends.

so this is just OP bumping his own fucking thread right

kek they know pokefags will eat it up anyway
preasu undastanda, smarr india companee!

I think you are stupid for believing that.

it could do 480 Hz and gamefreak would find a way for it to run at 15 fps

you will survive, nintendrajeet

Doesn't switch 2 only emulate switch 1 games? Makes sense gamefreak would shit the bed with it

how do they manage to always make games that look terrible but somehow run even worse
