So, are there any new features here? Heck, does it even have Platinumโ€™s expanded Dex?

If they just slap 3D graphics on DP then I'd rather play the sprite-based games.

Will probably buy it just to play competitive (admittedly this is the same to SWSH for me as well)

We don't see any Dynamax or Gigantamax yet, and nothing about Pokemon transfer.

Not sure about the art style they went with but it has time to grow on me. Now the question is...which starter do I choose? A classic, like Piplup, or something new to me like Chimchar even though I don't like the Chimchar line. Decisions.

[up][up][up][up]Same here!

While I would've liked a Sword/Shield graphical-style overworld design, the chibi overworld honestly doesn't seem like a bad idea. It actually reminds me of the Link's Awakening remake.

And HECK YES WE HAVE ACTUAL WILD BATTLES THANK GOD.

Chimchar is considered to be the best starter for the story, even discounting the Fire Dex issues

I feel this was a no win scenario for this; if they kept Sw Sh's graphics after all of the shit it got, we'd be complaining about that too. Soooo, I think it looks....ok. But like yea, I don't think I would have been excited either way, so I'm not gonna be too pulsed about it.

"Oh, you don't like SWSH's lack of graphical fidelity? Let's give it LESS graphical fidelity, also bring 3D graphics to an art style that isn't made with 3D graphics in mind."

Honestly they could go with more streamlined XY/ORAS graphics. tongue

I'm not thrilled about this. DP had some neat ideas, but the execution was kinda iffy. Going full 3D would do a lot to give it the sense of grandeur it was clearly aiming for, and an expanded story could really help sell the mythic elements that've mostly just been flavour text so far

I'm kind of whatever about the artstyle to be honest, and I think I would have definitely preferred them just slapping Sw Sh's graphics onto it.

Do you think they'll add Dynamaxing to the Story, similar to how Mega-Evolution was added to the Gen 3 remake story?

I'm fine with going back to Chibi Overworld and full scale models in battle, Myself.

Plus, ILCA working on them instead of Gamefreak seems to be their answer to the workload issues that they have had in recent gens.

Graphics remind me of the Linkโ€™s Awakening remake (which I have not played, though I heard that it was well-received?).

Regardless, the graphics arenโ€™t what I expected, but they donโ€™t really bother me. Iโ€™m more concerned as to whether this is literally Diamond and Pearl with a new coat of paint.

I mean, Iโ€™d probably still play it, but itโ€™d be nice to have more to it.

Never liked 3D chibi, and this is not changing my mind. I can look past that, but I really hope they focus on making a better remake over a faithful recreation.

I don't know why people are assuming this will just be carbon-copy port of the original DS games without anything new added, considering we've only seen a few minutes of footage.

50/50 on getting the remakes, even though Gen IV was my favorite mostly because the graphics don't look great. But hope to be pleasantly surprised if the pre-release stuff looks good.

I admit that something about Dawn's overworld sprite felt bit off. Probably due to how her arms are displayed due to her skirt and bag.

I also admit that I had to check if they had reused the battle backgrounds from LGPE or SWSH.

Uuugh, I get WHY they changed the artstyle after the backlash Sw Sh got, but I thought Sw Sh looked fine as it was. So I kind of hate that the backlash got so severe that Gamefreak felt they needed to distance themselves from it.

Ugh, fandom overreactions always annoy me and dev responses to it.

A few minutes of footage, and a decent amount of narration about how it's a faithful recreation. They're literally advertising it as having exactly the same map and the same story
