Also apparently the reason the 3DS main games lag a lot is because of the models of Pokemon. Rather than downscaling them, apparently GF kept the polygon count, and it's high as fuck (they wanted the models to be used for future games).

I doubt they didn't downscale them at all, that would pretty stupid, as they hold far more data than is relevant for the 3DS' resolution. But the models they used in the game itself still have a pretty high polycount, one of the higher ones I've seen on 3DS.

I've heard that the polygon counts that are actually used in the Generation VI games are close to, or equal to, the average character polygon count for PlayStation 3 games. Dunno if how true or false it is.

(Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon uses reduced models, I think, and they run much better while not looking far worse.)

Gen VI games have models that go over 10k polys, that puts it right around a lot of PS360 games.

I'm pretty sure all of my DS pokemon games were stolen

Including my Japanese copy of Platinum.

At least my 3DS games were left untouched

Cal, stahp, why do you hate me?

Nah, I'm just evil

I brightened up Blastoise a bit and made Venusaur's skin a little bit more green, looks a lot nice to me now, thanks for the input.

I never really noticed that until you brought up the comparisons. Now I know why I don't like most of the 3D models.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah GF wants the models to be used in other games. Maybe a console dex?

 

[TrickRoom]

Currently watching the Spring Regional Championships. Of all the competitive tournaments I spectate, the players in these games always seem to smile the most. I love the playercams.

That fuckin sucks, what happened?

 

[Caladrius]

It turns out they weren't stolen. My mom just lost them trying to bring them to me while I was in the hospital a few weeks ago.
-____-;

With any luck she just dropped them in the trunk of the car. If not there's not much to do but try and collect them all again.

 

[Exterminieren]

If the models ingame have ~10K polys, that's complete lunacy. No wonder the games run so badly; what a terrible decision.

 

[JoeM86]

The colouring of the 3D models kind of resemble the old Gen I artwork.

That was their intent, for it to match Sugimori's artwork

 

[ArchedThunder]

That doesn't stop the game from looking washed out and dull.

I really wish they'd lower the poly-count, it's not like they'll lose them or anything.

Apparently Pikachu for instance has the same polygon count as Sm4sh Pikachu.

 

[Toxi]

Just need to say this because I was reminded of it today: Koffing and Weezing are awesome.

They're flying purple sacks of explosive poisonous gas shaped like naval mines with little skull emblems. What's not to love?

I want Weezing to get a mega evolution that changes the typing to Poison/Steel. Combined with Levitate, that would be such a sexy type combo, and it would fit the whole naval mine concept and their defensively-oriented stats.

Those look fantastic.

It's annoying how Gamefreak made the colors so desaturated in XYORAS, because the Pokemon models really do look fantastic when their colors are more bright.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Heh, Hawlucha seems like it's gonna be Noibat's surrogate father.

 

[dakkumauji]

Heh, Hawlucha seems like it's gonna be Noibat's surrogate father.

Sounds great.

Still doesn't soften the sting of losing Goodra though

 

[Busaiku]

Goodra is too much like Barney in the show.
Freaks me out.

 

[Boss Doggie]

already had fanart requested

Apparently there's a JP Pokemon movie quiz going on, with the grand prize is a 5cm gold Pikachu figure. 3 tries per day and your point is collectively counted for your team (which you picked during registration)

[Busaiku]

Augh, darn it, can't answer some of those questions.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah anime thread in /vp/ managed get many answers there.

I love the Gen IV models. They capture the charm of each Pokemon perfectly as well as being so detailed. Gen IV has problems in a lot of areas, but the models aren't one of them.

 

[AnkiRendan]

Gen V on the other hand....I feel a bit disappointed with Serperior, Emboar and especially Haxorus.

You mean Gen VI, right? Or do you mean the models of Gen IV Pokemon in Gen VI?

I meant Gen VI XD I must be drunk

Spoiler

or I don't know my roman numerals XD

Ah that sucks cal :/

Hope you manage to find them.

 

[Boss Doggie]

hahahaha all that Steven-sexuality, even Jessie is in love!

And as expected, Ash rekt and painfully eradicated Shota even with latter having the "evolve-mid battle" plot armor - it was a straight 3-0. And thus Frogadier and Grovyle became rivals.

Also next week's ep

HOLY SHIT FUCKING KAWAII DADDY ASH AND DADDY HAWLUCHA FOR NOIBAT

 

[Exterminieren]

And as expected, Ash raped Shota

Ugh. Could you not?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Fine. Edited. Even with context I still edited out the trigger.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Fine. Edited. Even with context I still edited out the trigger.

Certain things will always be considered a "trigger" even with context due to the nature of the subject in question. (In many forums, rape is considered a serious matter that shouldn't be used unless it is referring to actual rape - no casual usage of it to refer to something else)

I final have my Victini plushie right on my bed again. Strangely, seeing it feels unusually comforting.

So Cute! They should make Furfrou plushies with all the different cuts.

 

[dakkumauji]

Everyone loves Steven. Just from one glance.

Tempting about the cosplay pikachus but still boo for not selling the Mega Pikazards Y.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I still believe luchachu and rockerchu should be male

 

[Nightbird]

I think i will finally bite today and buy AS.

I really want to play an Monster RPG, and it seems that neither Yokai Watch, nor anything Pokémon-related will release this year.

The only thing that makes it hard for me to purchase it is the laughable weak difficulty though :/

 

[Boss Doggie]

 

[Nightbird]

Okay, i've finally bitten.

Just bought Alpha Saphirre after 8 Months of not buying.

I hope i will be statisfied

Soooo cute

Hiroshima merch looks great.

 

[spiritfox]

Pikachu's murderous rampage continues to poor Gyrados.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

What has Pikachu donned? It seems like there's no stopping Pikachu at this point!

 

[dakkumauji]

poor magikarp

Soooo cute

Hiroshima merch looks great.

Red Gyrados Pikachu is lighter color, silly plush designers, shiny Pikachu is a darker color.

 

[Nightbird]

Does anyone have a Shiny Ralts, or knows anyone that has one?

Would be great hahaha

I knew they were gonna do at least these.
Shame they don't do monthly Pikachu though.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Sometimes I wish I could get all the plushies I want without ordering them online...

 

[Boss Doggie]

People still are butthurt about Lucario it seems.

Care to elaborate? I think I'm not that up-to-date.

 

[Nightbird]

chaining for 3 Hours straight and then fail because the finger slipped is the worst feeling ever.

i feel so frustrated right now

 

[Boss Doggie]

I find it weird that hawlucha just stumbles upon an egg

Care to elaborate? I think I'm not that up-to-date.

I still occasionally see the "why is Lucario there he isn't even popular" crap.

That sounds a bit horrifying. It's almost a decade since Diamond and Pearl were released...

I created a Joe-Signal for Future usage in Pokémon-Threads
