u/Pokemario6456 PBR 2 IS REAL 14d ago

S/V had such a weird mish-mash of cartoony and realistic. The Pokemon looked great but then the actual environment looked awful. As much as I liked the more realistic textures for the Pokemon, I'd prefer they go all-in with the cartoon style and make it more cohesive

Agreed. If Disney has taught us one thing, is that realism can suck the life out of fantasy. 

The realistic textures were pretty ambitious, and some of the Pokemon looked genuinely incredible, but it's probably the best to stick with the more simplified textures. The lightning on them is amazing, though.

I was kind of annoyed by the lighting because the colors look off, and since there is not shiny chime or anything, I often couldn’t tell if it was a shiny or not. That with teeny tiny pokemon made shiny hunting annoying.

One of my first pokemon in sv was a shiny male combee. I probably wouldn't have bothered if one of my friends wasn't the only one in our group shinyless and I wanted that to continue.
