We saw roughly Five minutes of Pokémon Legends: ZA In motion and fans already ask a question that all plagued Pokémon Playing in 3D graphics since the series has also changed X And Y: Is Pokémon Legends: ZA ugly? The modern Pokémon The games were generally plagued by technical topics, but the debate about the graphic and art style of the series is a bit more complicated and subjective than simple recognition of technical defects. Legends: ZA will be checked after playing how much scarlet And Violet exchanged the intimate, processed environments of their predecessors against open world circumference, and the Fandom seems to have divided whether the upcoming switch RPG is an improvement or another step in the wrong direction.
I was disappointed to see Legends: ZA Take over the strange, toy -like visual style of scarlet And Violet Instead of the stylized one we saw in Legends: Arceus. But it is a step from the 2022 RPGs than it is colorful, uses smaller environments to get more details and textures on the screen, and at least in the trailer it looks like this scarlet And Violet do too. I am open to discussions about whether Legends: ZA Looks bad, but I feel like everyone who thinks it looks worse As the ugly open world of Paldea scarlet And Violet In a minute or wear pink glasses. The ancillary comparisons are pretty damn.
For all discussions in the Pokémon Fandom, Legends: ZA Feels like a calculated pivot point from the pitfalls of the recent open entries in the series. It focuses on a smaller world by taking place completely in Lumiose City. This means that hopefully we are not exposed to the same equipment and the same texture that is plagued Legends: Arceus And scarlet / Violet. But even if it is a technical step that is deserved by careful planning, it does Legends: ZA Beat the ugly art style? That is the question that fans do not agree on.
I am still interested in some of the mechanical changes Legends: ZA Implemented like real -time battles, but the longer I thought about it, the more I am disappointed that visually Legend Lower series does not enter the superior footsteps of Legends: Arceus. Yes, Arceus Had some of the same technical problems that had affected scarlet And VioletBut it was generally pretty to look at because it assumed a colorful Cel-Shaded look. See Legends: ZA fall in scarlet And Violet is a crap because it theoretically has the chance to concentrate on smaller environments with something visual flair and personality because it could theoretically be removed from the open zone structure. sword And Sign Was the last game with (primarily) smaller environments and there were some real outstanding cities that dived on the screen and had a real feeling for a place. I look back at the city of Ballonlea, which is decorated with colorful, biioluminescent mushrooms to remind you that the play freak can create wonderful environments when it goes back. Lumiose City looks better than anything else in scarlet And VioletBut if it were more stylized, it could look even better.
Hopefully we will see something more visually between and when Pokémon Legends: ZA Starts on Switch later this year. Until then, at least I haven't seen anyone get angry on the trees.
