Anyone else excited for Alola based on what we've seen of the overworld? Not once has there been anything resembling the traditional top-down camera angle at all, which leads me to believe they've abandoned it altogether. The geography highlights this, as everything is more vast and the individual stretches of land seem to be bigger. Some parts genuinely look like a fully explorable 3d landscape, and anything gridlike surrounded by the boring tree borders seems to be gone entirely.

you can tell they're starting to get 3d down better

>>26603744
Fucking me it's gonna be a great game. To bad i'ma eurofag.

This. XY ultimately seemed to be a transition, which although not completely justifying it's poor quality, at least excuses it. There were parts that awkwardly dabbled in between actually being 3D and being 2D with 3D models. We lost the charming pixel art and sprites in XY. The entire series felt like it lost something. But we're getting something back now, and I have a gut feeling it's gonna be fucking great.

min 0:55, first player footage after the legendaries, you can probably move the camera around instead of a predetermined one depending the zone

Damn you're right. It feels like an actual modern RPG, not some crippled clusterfuck like the last few generations have imo felt like.
>>26603744
I'm really excited and I'm wishing this gen to be my new favorite in all or almost all aspects.
And yeah, Alola looks huge.
>>26603744
You wish
The shown us the few areas with a different view, just like for XY

I'm sorry anon, what?
>>26603744
I mean, Im hyped too but Ive seen a lot of "similar to Gen 6" perspectives.
>>26603831
>huge patch of tall grass
Good, now all the NO GRASS retards can shut the fuck up
>>26603878
Ok two digits IQ man, let me explain
In the trailer they shown us the 5 or so areas of the game where the camera is like in OP pic, but 90% of the game will have the camera like this pic >>26603831
>>26603847
I'm glad it doesn't look blocky, and actually looks like it could hide pokemon
>>26603905
Is english your first language?
And even then OP's point still stands. Not only is the pic not even top down, but the difference in elevation, etc. is exactly what they were talking about:

Some other screens

You wish. The majority of the scenes in the trailer had the more dynamic perspective I was talking about, and as anyone with an IQ over 10 can figure out, given basic logic that means the majority of the areas in the game will have the same dynamic perspective.

God alola's gonna be great. Gone are the bland rocky cliffs that GF previously used to indicate elevation and difference in height, in is actual differences in elevation and height,
>>26603791
ORAS felt like more of a transition than XY, though.
>>26603744
YES!! The region looks like it's gonna be great. Lots of exploration
>>26604065
I think it's fair to say the entirety of gen 6 was.
>>26603901
B-but muh Orre.
>>26603991
Why aren't there more people on the city?
>>26604908
That was a screen from the 1st trailer. In the 2nd you can see more people. The game isn't even out yet so they will add more people i think.
I was personally hoping for SM to take advantage of the New 3DS's c-stick for a free-moving camera, but this is still good.
>>26603744
Looks exactly like Dragon Quest Monster Joker 2. It's gonna feel empty as fuck.
>>26604039
>>26603744
Where in the region is this shot supposed to be from? The big rocky walls surrounding the area confuses me.
>>26603752
Terrible you mean
>>26603744
Get ready to claw kids.
It looks shit.
>>26603831
I don't care too much about the camera in most cases top down is way more practical.
The fact that the tile based system seems to be gone, however is a godsend, the region looks so much more realistic.
>>26603744
Same, I love how the endless tree borders and tile bases maps are basically gone, the game looks so much better in 3d this way.
Looking at the map, the region also looks a lot more nonlinear, almost every path branches off.
This games gonna be good SENPAI.
