Gallery: Here's A Look At Pokémon Winds & Waves On Switch 2

I'm so glad that I can finally play a Pokemon game and pause to say "that looks pretty nice" instead of "God, this game is ugly".

Game looks nice, though graphics were never really a huge concern for me so that's not like an immediate selling point or anything. Still, it is definitely a step up.

Do appreciate that a decent chunk of the Pokemon shown off are ones that aren't in SV. Some overlap but between the Krabby, Tangela, Ledyba, Corsola, Taillow, Wailmer, Carnivine, Tympole, Frillish, and Sizzlipede lines that's at least 20 Pokemon different right there.

It looks like they are going to be fun games and my Nieces and their friends are very excited about them but I have a feeling they are still going to end up getting a lot of hate from so-called adults whinging over things made for children like they do with Dora the Explorer, Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig and Disney movies.

Finally, it looks like I'll be able to play a Pokemon game for the first time. I think the final product will be even better than the reveal.

I'm so hyped about this trailer.

I am totally getting Alola vibes here !!.. The water and the jungle looks so nice..!!

It's so important for a game to look polished. I'm glad they're finally getting there again with the mainline series.

Cautiously optimistic.

Am I the only one who is actually disappointed that the game isn't coming out this year? Still hyped though.

You know that I don't agree with popular opinions about the franchise when Pokémon Violet of all games was my favorite game of all time until recently 🤣.

This is gonna be spiteful to say, but shout out to all the people who moaned, "They're never going to try to do better!" after Sw/Sh and Sc/Vi sold so well.

Regardless of what the final product will be, it goes to show that most devs and creatives don't set out to phone it in or make a substandard product on purpose, and that short development times from on high was the more likely problem.

@Nep-Nep-Freak I'm a bit conflicted with that. On one hand, I'm ecstatic that the game is getting all the time that it needs to have all of its edges ironed out. On the other hand, this is a pretty dry year for 1st-party releases I'm interested in. There's only one game I could possibly get, Splatoon Raiders, but as I'm not normally a Splatoon fan, that entirely depends on if that has some interesting gameplay. It feels too soon for many of the series I'm interested in to release something so that's where the 2027 release is a bit of a bummer. Overall, I do think I lean more to the side of it being good that its a 2027 launch though.
