I'm sure many of us share the sentiment that the final game will look good in its own right, but it's doubtful that the final game's field graphics will improve dramatically.
I mean, it's not as if GameFreak have a long and storied history working with 3d graphics as they only just made that transition last gen.

There's nothing we can really do about a stupid opinion.
I wonder how much they listen to fan feed back after the first couple detail bombs...
GAF poll is letting Chespin down. But at least Chespin has fans that really matter: ones who can animate!PSY・S;46253869 said:

That's true, but the final BW footage showed marked improvements and tweaks in the 3D environments (specifically Castellia City & battles) over the earliest footage. Castellia City looked (often subtly) different practically everytime we saw it.
both bipedal... but they are pretty different.
It's a similar argument to Bulbasaur and Turtwig being similar and its just plain stupid.
The Nintendo will make sure it looks as good as it can, surely. This is a serious title.
I wonder if people will complain about the actual Pokemon popping up in a quick scene for every wild fight...or if you can turn it off for that matter. I'd leave it on, but I know there is a set of Pokemon fan that want the battle experience to be blazingly fast no matter what.
Still cant see how people turn off battle animations.

Chespin is overly cute. That's how we know it's going to evolve into some sort of terrible monstrosity.
Only in the after game. When I'm raising Pokemon (or doing Battle Subway), those animations would have literally taken up hundreds of more hours over the years. It's also more of a treat when I play a new Pokemon game and have the animations on for the playthrough.

I start turning them off after I finish the "plot"
4th gen Pokemon games were the only games that I had to turn off animations after the first few battles (lol like what.... 10 minutes into the game?)
Yah, I remember Castellia City looking crazy-drab in that first Pokemon Smash footage we got. But comparing to the final game, I wouldn't say that graphical quality itself improved drastically but that the scenery was "dressed-up" more, so to speak.
To Nintendo, it's Pokemon. It doesn't need to excel at visuals but instead only excel at what the franchise is known for.

4th gen was so fucking slow.
Pretty much lol
Then hopefully it will evolve into something as great as Dewott. I could've kept mines a Dewott forever.
If only...

Yep. Ruined every single 4th gen game (DPPt, HGSS)
I wish I never evolved mine, but I like Samurott too.
In the case of the battle subway in bw and their sequels, Those darn stalling pokemon like ferrothorn, meganium,ludicolo, or heck anything with recover/leech seed and good defenses take forever with animations.

My type speculations...
Chespin: Grass/Steel, basically a offensive version of the Ferroseed line, where his chestnut ends up becoming armor. Or perhaps they can further the "Sonic" jokes and give him the ability to roll up into an armored ball, with Gyro Ball and such.
Fennekin: Probably Fire/Psychic, perhaps taking advantage of the "trickster" archetype Foxes, like Reynard, are typically associated with. Lots of tricky moves to confuse and befuddle foes. I guess Fire/Dark works too along those lines.
Froakie: Water/Electric, and base him off Jiraiya of Thunder, the Japanese Ninja whose associated with frogs. He could grow some ninja-kite appendages, and the cloudy parts of his body could become thunder clouds.

Get the hell out of here with Mudkip being greater than Squirtle. It's Mudkip. MUDKIP. I can't believe I'm having this conversation.
But you're right on Tododile. One of the best starters by far.
Same with Grovyle, Sceptile was a dissapointment.

Damn... Gamestop is selling B/W at $30 used. Seems super high to me. Should I give in or buy an older DS one?? (I am just looking for a DS Pokemon game to fill in the gap from Yellow to XY)

Don't like that x4 Fire weakness.

Make him really fast though and strong, so it's not that much of an issue if properly set-up.
Plus Grass/Steel is good bar the x4 Fire weakness, and in the Stealth Rock world, Fire isn't that big of an issue, is it?
HG/SS are really good. I like Black/White 1/2 more, though.
Grass/Rock is more likely, I think.
BW and BW2 are probably the best games to jump back in with. They're much quicker and polished than the generation before. I bought BW2 for $25 new when it launched thanks to a Futureshop deal. Pokemon games generally maintain their value for a long time, but you can probably find it used for under $30 if you shop around.

All you people that havent played for awhile should just play HG/SS. Probably not much lower since it is pokemon. Pokemon BR on Wii is like 39.99 preowned I think.
Just wait until Fire gets a priority move this generation.

I'm pretty pumped.
Can't wait to hear more. Going to go with the grass guy on this one.
Not digging the water frog at all. Yuck.

I suppose not. Plus as a steel type it'll probably be able to use EQ.
Does anyone else really think the Title Screen music for B2W2, when it starts, sounds a lot like Godzilla? I love it.

Well actually...
Fennekin? More like FenneKING.
Well actually...
The fan art is 100% better than the official art.
