What's up with Pokémon Sword/Shield? There's a #GameFreakLied trending on Twitter and from far away, it kinda looks like a shitstorm.

@rasterman I thought it was obvious from the beginning that the whole claim about re-doing all the Pokemon models from scratch was a lie, seems like fake outrage to me. The games are still gonna sell millions on Day 1.

@ChristiJunior Is it out yet?

What, are they using low-res models from the 3DS era?

@rasterman @ChristiJunior At most they're slightly upscaled 3DS models.

@ArdanianRight @rasterman @ChristiJunior it's the environment & overworked animations that has me worried...

@RehnSturm256 @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior Found this on Twitter. If this is actual features that once existed, I'm more surprised old games had all this shit than the new one not having it.

@rasterman @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior oh well that's a given at this point... Another reason I'm tired of it ( ._.)
When they didn't have the Battle Frontier in ORAS, I knew they'd be cutting corners forevermore.

At the very least, I expect a spectacular, home console-woethy game. Not 3ds ported-looking trash. It better look better on release than the leaks...

@RehnSturm256 @rasterman @ArdanianRight The near GBC-level quality visuals of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire should have made that clear, as well as how horribly designed Diamond/Pearl were (Platinum had to fix A LOT of problems with those games, and still remained very flawed).

At least the Wild Areas are a genuinely huge leap forward for the series, and to me a much bigger deal than the missing Pokemon.
