The heads-to-body ratio in the overworld are a little weird in the D/P remakes.

For real, I hate the overworld models, they went through the trouble of making these full-sized models for in battle, why not just use those in the overworld? It doesn't make sense. Looks like a very lazily put together game. Sadly, Legends Arceus looks WAY better. The chibi leak was the last one I wanted to be real.

FYI to all that say that this is a downgrade,remember that this is a new Developer

Welp, guess this means once again, the only Fire type you can have on your team if you don’t pick chimchar is ponyta.

"GF should outsource the games to a different studio that'd be way better and would solve all the problems"

 

[SpinyShell]

I got super excited when I saw the Diamond/Pearl screen and then felt nothing outside of disappointment when I saw the first scene of the new games. At the very least Legends looks amazing.

I’m sad to see the first Pokémon games I’ve ever played remade as such unambitious (and ugly) games...

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

So... what are the odds that they'll keep the original D/P dex
and thus re-inherit the drought of Pokemon n' evolutions till post-game plus Fire-type being an endangered species?

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

This is a disappointing excuse of a game that shouldn’t exist.
Pokémon Legends Arceus is the Sinnoh prequel we need.

I believe they implied in the Presents that they're keeping the original Pokedex.

 

[Esserise]

Truth be told, I think the chibi overworld looks fine - kinda charming, even. But those in-battle scenes look pretty rough.

Hey, I'll still play it, but I'm way more interested in Legends.

 

[Johnny Boy]

I believe they implied in the Presents that they're keeping the original Pokedex.

Lol, if so it’s a hard pass for me. I’ll be damned if I get forced to use ponyta as my only Fire type.

 

[JFrombaugh]

(sees that it's not Let's Go Sinnoh or MAX Diamond & MAX Pearl)

PHEW...

So far my only nitpick would be the chibi-style graphics, but with the Legends Arceus new story also coming our way a little later, I'm already feeling more optimistic about the 2021-2022 off-season than I was yesterday.

As long as BDSP stay mostly true to the original stories & keeps the original features, then I won't complain.

 

[Aulos]

This looks really cheaply made. I'm very disappointed. Still, I am very glad that we missed the LG bullet. Sadly, these games look just as conservative as LG was, but I guess at least these are a DS game and not a GB game.

These look like cheap titles to be put on eShop for $20. I'd feel a lot better about them if they were, but you know it'll be $60. SMH.

 

[Greninjaman]

But those in-battle scenes look pretty rough.

You never know, the in-battle models might get cleaned up before release.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

People demand Sinnoh remakes for years, and when they're finally announced, those same people are disappointed?

 

[BlueWaves]

I believe they implied in the Presents that they're keeping the original Pokedex.

I saw Porygon-Z use Hyper Beam in the trailer. Very likely its the Platinum Dex.

 

[RK9]

To be fair, it's not a Let's Go Games but it looks very Let's Go style-ish.

Right now we have too little info on the game to really judge, but no redesigns is a bit of a bummer cause I think Dawn and Lucas are the two protags with the worst designs in the entire franchise and could do with one.

Other than that, I quite like it. It looks a bit rough and unpolished but it's charming. Hopefully they still manage to add some stuff to make it worthwhile.

Statue looks dope though.

Looks like a cheap mobile knock off. I can't believe this actually passed quality control. Can anyone explain to me how ORAS had a 3d perspective change while Diamond and Pearl on the Switch remains top down, chibi and looking awful?
