Topic: Pokémon Sun & Moon - Discussion & Speculation

Well, who really cares about Digimon... it is all about Pokemon lol

@Tsurii: Sun and Moon is already awkward because of Mega Man Battle Network.

Sorry that is just wrong. _{looked for a screenshot or video clip of Kimmy Schmidt saying that, but couldn't find a good one, lol}

watches Alex's new video on the trailers
...lol, Batmon. xD

@FriedSquid: On the same hardware...

...What were you expecting? XCX visuals?

Huh? I think it's a great improvement and I think the game looks gorgeous. What are you guys talking about? :/

....Riiiiiiiight. lol

Anyways I noticed, this seems like it could be a "3D" game...compared to the past games with a top-down view.

But I'm really not being sarcastic.

_{that tongue face makes me look like im joking even more >.>}

The last two games have not been particularly amazing in the graphics department but I really am looking forward to the improvement here. Seeing it side-by-side to X/Y made me realize how far it's actually come since then.

@FriedSquid: Thanks for that image. That's quite an improvement!

I'm quite fond of Rowlet and Litten, but Popplio is kinda meh. In any case I feel like they're already an improvement over the Gen 6 starters. The legendaries also look pretty cool. I'm wondering if those are Solgaleo and Lunaala? The names would fit at least.

It is a huge improvement, just makes me worried about my regular 3DS XL more... if it has trouble with X/Y and ORAS then it will probably have lots of trouble with this.

@DarthNocturnal: I have had frame drops in battles and I never have 3D on. Overworld, they disabled 3D because the performance wasn't great with it on. With how much more S&M is pushing the hardware, I am not sure if my 3DS XL will have the power to run this game well enough for me. I have heard Hyrule Warriors is mostly unplayable on my 3DS, and I fear S&M might go that same way... also Federation Force.

I only noticed it in Triple battles.

It was mostly noticable with big pokemon or big attacks... Goodra caused a lot of frame rate issues.

I only noticed in Horde Battles. Worked fine for me for the most part.

In the overworld I remember there being a very slight frame drop when the PSS's online is activated and when the passerby function resets.

For some reason, lag in gen 6 is the most noticeable during the "split screen" parts during battles.
