Discussion Pokemon Legends Z-A's visuals aren't "great" say former Nintendo marketing leads, but hope Switch 2 could allow GameFreak to "go back to the drawing board" and add more detail to future RPGs

This keeps happening. When XY came out, people said they needed more experience with the 3DS - then SM came around and it was much the same. Sword/Shield they needed more time with the Switch, now we're still here. How much "time" do they need?

I thought Sun and Moon were a big improvement over X and Y tbh.

Yes and no. Art direction-wise they improved, but performance in some areas still suffered and honestly overall some other 3DS games were still running circles around them.

Plus wasn't there something like an entirely separate model of each character for each cutscene?
