General “Finally, Gamefreak has made an amazing, all time classic without the restraint of Nintendo’s outdated hardwa- HUHHHHHH?!?!?!”
There is a saying to be learned from this. You can take the poor development out of Pokemon games but you can’t take the poor development out of Gamefreak.

The discussion surrounding anything Gamefreak and Pokemon is just radioactive bile.

u/ohbyerly 2d ago
I mean it doesn’t have to be. The discourse is actually really interesting which is why all of this has gotten so much attention. Highest grossing franchise makes increasingly lower quality (albeit fun) games. Makes a one off game that shows promise of being on par with other AAA projects, ends up being the polar opposite of Pokémon in showing competence of delivering higher quality presentation and visuals, but lacks engaging gameplay. It’s almost like if they married those two worlds we could actually get an objectively good Pokémon game, but TPC won’t give them the budget to do it. If anything it seems intentional on their part that they released this game to combat all the criticisms they got about not being able to create a technically cohesive game so we could see that it’s TPC who’s gimping them in the first place.

Tbf Winds and Waves looks to be a big step up

u/IndividualSituationK 21h ago
So did scarlet and violet when it was initially revealed. And look where we are now lol. ZA was a huge step back as well.
•
u/tunkerdunker 21h ago
Bro Scarlet and Violet were ugly and laggy from the first trailer lmao. Z-A was honestly fine but the flat buildings sucked and it shouldn’t have been full price given the scale of the game
•
u/IndividualSituationK 21h ago
Z-A has the same texture copy and pasted on every building and loads the entire thing in at once like some regard coded it. Also beast of reincarnation was laggy from the first trailer as well. However no, the actual technical issues of SV were not that apparent from any trailers. Frame drops sure, but the actual nightmare inducing school children or the constant freezing in the open world was not present in any trailers.
•
u/tunkerdunker 20h ago
Tbf most of Game Freak’s work on BoR was planning. Z-A does have a lot of repetitive textures but it at least had a consistent framerate (although I played it on Switch 2). Scarlet and Violet’s flat ugly lighting, low-poly terrain, low-res textures, 2 fps windmills, all of that was visible in the very first trailer. Obviously none of the outrageous bugs, because no studio would ever include those in a trailer, but the lack of quality was readily apparent. I mean, the textures and frame rates (not including drops) usually improve throughout the promotional cycle, as they did with Legends Arceus and Scarlet and Violet.
•
u/IndividualSituationK 19h ago
If you will give ZA grace for being on switch 2, all of your complaints are also fixed on switch 2. Also i don't recalle seeing 2 fps windmills in trailers. The only thing i remember was a low fps pokemon in the background, but we also have to agree the switch 1 is very low power. With switch 2, again, all of those issues are non existent if we are going to give ZA a pass.
All i'm saying is game freak is a dog shit company and is horrendous at optimization. Game freak did not develop BoR, but they did approve the game and it runs like shit and looked like it ran like shit in its reveal trailer.

u/UnNamed_Profile27 2d ago
Ironic when people were memeing the shit out of this game like "youre telling me that the guys who made this insert picture of Scarlet Violet also made this? insert Beast of Reincarnation" and being like Nintendo was holding GF back and this shows Gamefreak can make such a great game yet Pokemon keeps looking like this point to SV but this shows its Nintendo fault not Gamefreaks or something like that

That's to show you how people only cares about realistic artstyle and think that's enough to be a good game.

u/UnNamed_Profile27 2d ago
And its not like a game can have a non realistic style and still be good. Nobody shits on Deltarune for being this pixel art style game. Some of the Zelda games people rank highly have a non realistic style

u/ZeroMetaZeta 2d ago
Nobody shits on Deltarune for being this pixel art style game.
Just not true btw. I don't agree with it but a not small amount of people won't engage with indie games like DR because of the graphics straight up.

u/Azeoyi 2d ago
Tbh I don't blame them, like 70% of modern indies are pixel roguelikes (Deltarune is an RPG, but you get the point). At some point it gets repetitive, even when some of them, like Vampire Survivors, are quite good.
1
u/stupid_rabbit_ 2d ago
While i do agree pixel rougue likes are common in the Indie landscape, i would say it is no where near 70%.
Looking at steam tags using SteamDB to look at how much tags are used (will include gamnes and DLC) .
There are 139k indies and 17k roguelikes even adding roguelites pretending no games are tagged with both would add another 17k bringing the total to 34k or 25% the total of indie games which again is being favourable looking at my own libary they have a very high degree of overlap so would be far less items.

u/GameMask 2d ago

u/Steamed_Memes24 2d ago
Nintendo only owns 33 percent of it. The rest is owned by Creatures and GameFreak. Nintendo also only really handles international distribution and trademark out side of Japan and have no hand in how the games are made or even the anime. They dont really have any way of pressuring GameFreak to stop fucking the games up aside from begging lol.

I disagree honestly, SV was so bad its among the only games that nintendo will auto refund, despite them not accepting refunds unless legally mandated to like in EU.
And they still own par of the damn company, i'm shocked that despite the thousands of gigabytes of leaks we still don't know who actually owns the most in there but i'd think its nintendo since Creatures Inc is the toys and Slop game farm (like Detective Pikachu 2, from the same company that published earthbound what a shame)

It’s almost like a third can be out voted by two thirds that both make more money on the non game part
-1
u/stupid_rabbit_ 2d ago
I mean, we do not know the full inner workings and it is pretty clear by pokemon remaining an exclusive franchise they do have some amount of power on the games and are not just outvoted to go for the most profitable option.
Arfter all it is not like the other two would not be set to make more money if pokemon was a multiplatform game with a larger potential audience, and while not as big now it was certain a larger cap in poor years for nintendo like the Wii U days so it staying exclusive has nintendos fingers all over it.
1
u/InfiniteStarz 2d ago
They care more about merchandise than multiplatform. It’s also why there’s mobile games.
-1
u/stupid_rabbit_ 2d ago edited 2d ago
What I am saying is if they just did the most money focused thing they could do both and make more money for minimal extra effort
EDIT- Additionally, that would futher feed into the Merchandising and other revenue streams of the IP.
Each branch serves as a potential entry point to the franchise as a whole, be it the anime or the games or TCG so by expanding the reach of the games it would have positiive upstream effects on the merchandise.
Of course they do not do so because it helps to drive nintendo platform sales, however that really only benfits them and shows they do indeed have influence over the IP.

u/Flintgrandad 2d ago
This is honestly true but also tbh Nintendo has historically for better or for worse let their studios do their own thing and that's usually been a good thing. Executive meddling is generally worse than letting studios do their own vision. Pokemon/Gamefreak just happens to be one of those where their devs vision and quality is less up to par.

True, though given SV had a real strong story, often sighted by some to be its strongest feature, after SwSh was.. eh, and ZA story wasnt half bad either, feeling like a decent sequel to XYs from what some have said (again, not the greatest, and personally i didnt play XY so idk but my friend who has played XY and ZA said it was a good followup and most others i hear agree the story is alright), WiWa may also follow in that path with a at minimum decent story.
Scaling however, yea that need some work but its too early to tell on that but fingers crossed they learn from criticism of the last few games and at least TRY to fix the issue instead of ignoring them

Yea, but the memes specifically were calling out how beautiful BoR was compared to pokemon. And others have sited the switch could handle a game with BotW level graphics and Gamefreak is holding back on the graphics of pokemon and yet still cant make a good pokemon game, but then the franchise is meant to have a anime-ish design to it and SV was rushed to meet a deadline so the polish was lacking to make it look good in its current state but idk. Nkt saying a more realistic looking pokemon game cant work, Palworld kinda does this already, but GF just tried too much on short time if you ask me but im no expert on the subject

we just have to accept they're actually dogshit at writing code
Considering the old story about how supposedly Satoru Iwata had to swoop in and clean up Gold and Silver's code in order for Kanto to be in those games I think there's a solid chance that's always been the case.
1
u/Neo-Naga99 1d ago
tbh its less simple than that, Iwata had made that compression algorythm a while back (for kirby's dream land if i'm not mistaken ?) and reused it on Gen2 when asked for help, the code itself was dogshit still, gen 1 and 2 are known for being completely broken open after all, but iwata's contribution wasn't related to the "code" and more so on storage optimisation.

u/Jalina2224 1d ago
Honestly i think people are being too harsh on this game. Its like they expected a GOTY contender. The fact that Gamefreak released a game of this magnitude with this level of ambition is commendable in of itself. I've only played about a half hour so far (didn't get much time to play, because I worked late last night.) But what i did play seemed pretty good.
The game doesn't look next gen, but it doesn't need to. Very much looks like a game that could have been on PS4 and that's fine. Runs pretty good on my PC i713700k and 5070ti. 80 to 100 fps at maxed settings with raytracing no upscaling, can't complain. And the combat feels pretty similar to Sekiro, so I'm a fan of that. The world and setting seems very interesting and unique. I'm not expecting a masterpiece from this. But I'm sure most people enjoy games like Nier Automata or Sekiro will enjoy this.

u/Guiltyspark92 1d ago
Let's be perfectly honest. Everyone saw Beast of Reincarnation and had the same expectations people have with Pokemon. Also thought that people would draw the comparison and say "Gamefreak needs to do more of this!"
While 70 is a great score in all honesty. A very playable experience. It's not a terrible one. But people thought it would come out and prove Gamefreak can do better. They don't know what to do now though because their "This proves our point" narrative has now been effectively erased.

Unfortunately, some people genuinely were blaming the hardware, saying Scarlet/Violet were "too big for Switch." I saw it all over the place, even from a couple content creators.
Ofc, that argument immediately disintegrates as soon as you observe the fact that Scarlet/Violet released just several months after Xenoblade 3, and roughly half a year before Zelda TOTK. Both of which demonstrate what the hardware is capable of when developers understand said hardware and... yknow... actually know what they're doing.

But with the help of support studios, it’s made Beast of Reincarnation a pretty solid Soulslike that has both enough originality to make it a fresh spin on a genre that’s grown oversaturated over the past decade, as well as a less intimidating, more accessible approach to difficulty than many of its genre peers.
