Wow, I admit I was excited with the announcement but it's so shitty looking. You can even turn the AR off, so no hopes of environment-conscious pkmn.

HOLY SHIT
THIS LOOKS AWFUL
I really don't know what people expected. It's a fucking free to play mobile game.
It looks like shit, I don't mean the graphics but the mechanics. Also

Can't wait to catch pixelated Trubbish, Grimer and Raticates in my New Orleans back alley.
>>26084029
I expected the Pokémon to actually be in the world, not just plastered over it.
I expected ratata on a wall ledge, I expected Goldeen jumping in water.
At the very least I expected the Pokémon to be in one place in the world, not one place on your screen. As it is, if you move your camera, the Pokémon moves as well, as if it was tied to your phone.
>>26084013
Wasn't the game supposed to be like pic related? This is what they showed during the trailer, that's just a beta.
Pokemon will inevitably go to phones, but just not with pokemon go.
Looks like they put a lot of shit 3d for the hell of it, it's all so souless and ugly and boring.
Pokemon Go! And stay go, don't come back.
>>26084129
There was one of those "trailer doesnt represent final game" wording during one of those comercials.
>>26084111
>>26084129
Are you daft?
They made it look like that so it can draw in appeal, they obviously can't pull something of that scope with mobile.
>>26084150
Because if they showed a true representation, no one would have cared.
>>26084129
If you actually thought it would look like this then you're a complete moron
>>26084084its inside your phone
>>26084150
That was on the Google Earth April Fool's but not Pokemon GO
>>26084129
>proof of concept trailers are always like the final product!
I bet you thought that Mewtwo was going to really fly around Times Square visibly too.
>>26084161
I bet you never heard of betas
I need that image of Dewey going "I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed"
>>26084152
Why not? Mobile has way more computing power to make it possible. Sure, it would have to have way more effort and money and not F2P, but I can't see why it wouldn't technically be feasible.
At the very least, do the battles like on game boy. If it could be done on game boy, it can be done on quad-core phone.
>>26084161
Glasses with augmented reality would be cool with that concept.
That, and the fact most people wouldnt know those glasses are somewhat expensives.
My only hope is that this is moddable enough to let us create the experience we want. Add more attacks, different swipes for different attacks, visible HP, visible stats, all should be possible.
>>26084170
Dunno, one seems to have replied to me right here.
>>26084099
>Trubbish
Oh anon...

lol, only Gen 1 (the original XP) is actually real POKEMON!!
>>26084013
holy fuck
can you trade?
>>26084176
>>26084013
hey could have spent the money on science experiments to make pokemon real
>>26084411
Just attach a taser to a rat. There's your Pokemon.
>>26084013
>Dude sucks so much that Vulpix has to jump into pokeball
>>26084388
Accurate.
As a kid I always imagined a scenario where Gamefreak bio engineers Pokemon in secret labs and releases them into different parts of the world at once when all the species were ready, then wild Pokemon appearing in news everywhere and Gamefreak announcing Pokeball sales
>>26084152
Mobile DOES have the power to do it.
They already have mediocre platformers that track around and on your furniture.
>>26084184
I don't think you understand how AR works. Without the use of AR cards to "signal" what certain objects are/where they're placed, pasting an image over a camera is basically all you CAN do with the tech. The only thing that even resembles what you want is that new Conker game coming out for the Kinect, and that's stretching the limits of a system DESIGNED for AR and motion gameplay.
>>26084522
Cant you use the camera to do a scan of the terrain, such as elevation?
Image recognition is "simple". Don't tell me you can't have a Pineco seemingly hidden in a tree. Even if its just plastered there, as long as the camera can understand depth at least a little, it would look good enough.
>ever expecting it to be anything more then this
>>26084129
Have you never seen a cinematic trailer before?
>>26084029
>free to play mobile game
That's not an excuse for how shit this is and you know it.
>>26084013
Wow, I know it's just beta footage but that looks like fucking garbage. Where are the trainer battles? You can hardly have a Pokemon game without those. Can you control which moves are used by the Pokemon though? It looked like they were just doing their own thing in the gym battle. It looked like they were using anime-style sort of battle "mechanics" where you can keep spamming moves, even if the opponent hasn't done anything yet.
It just feels like they could have put a lot more effort into this and make it a solid game.
>>26084013
honestly, digimon linkz shits all over this shit
>people actually EXPECTED it to look like the shitty cinematic trailer
Are you all 5 year old or something? Jesus.
>>26084741
You should have seen it when the trailer was first shown. Loads of people were expecting it to look just like the trailer.
I was expecting about what we were shown, the wild battles were handled pretty well. But it feels like they could have put more depth into the game without making it "complicated".
>>26084711
There are a very very small handful of legitimately good Free to play mobile games. Free to play mobile games are shit by their very nature. It's not an excuse to be shit, but if you expected anything from it you are a fucking retard.
>>26084763
*what we were shown from the beta footage
>>26084733
>It looked like they were using anime-style sort of battle "mechanics"
Yes. That's how the industry outside Japan about Pokémon works. Just marketing about the first season of the anime, and maybe, even about the game (RBY).
>>26084733
>Can you control which moves are used by the Pokemon though?
Yeah, tap to do their first quick attack, hold to do their stronger charge attack. It's honestly better than I expected. I was thinking they would just go full Tamagatchi, but this is a nice level above. Also, I imagine there's no trainer battles because this is such a limited beta, there aren't many people walking around.
>>26085059
I see, thank you. It's good to know that. It'd be really stupid if you couldn't control which moves you want to use.
And that might be it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I remember people pointing out that there were no trainer battle mentions on its page on pokemon.com which is why I was wondering.
