What Graphics Would You Prefer?
HeartGold & SoulSilver - It may just be me but I was not very fond of the strange DS graphics what were used in Diamond and Pearl.
I would rather have the FireRed / LeafGreen Graphics for this. Does anyone else agree? |
I honestly don't care as long as it looks nice.
You guys are being WAY TOO PICKY about these games, seriously. Stop thinking as if they "owe" you this game because you've been waiting for it for so long. |
I am not being picky I am just curious.
I think it would look better in my opinion, GBA style does look nicer to me, than the DS style. I am not acting like they owe me anything though. |
I loathe D/P style graphics. Fr/Lg had nice depth to it, which the D/P style doesn't have, that relies on the mediocre 3D effects.
At least HG/SS looks like a slight improvement. It looks more colorful and less dull. I just hope they fix that sprite-stretching issue. :\ |
wat are you slow? HG&SS are looking magnificent with the DS graphics!! GBA is cute yeah but the stuff there adding in HG&SS wouldnt look as good with lame GBA graphics.. 3D on HG&SS is the shiznit man get with the program
|
No offense to anyone, but I wasn't too thrilled over the FrLg graphics. I'm happy with the way the graphics are currently in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. (However, I wouldn't mind if they made the Celebi shrine a shade of green or made it wood-ish.) I really like the Whirl Islands and the look of Ecruteak. It's not like DP graphics, just a little similar. I like the HGSS graphics the most. More than any other Pokemon game. Keep it the way it is. Magnet train station looks awesome as well as that Dance theater! :D
|
The 3-D look is awesome, I think it's a great direction their taking Pokemon in. I just don't like the grass and tree colours (except Ecruteak) because it should have that autumn olive\auburn style. Not a vomit tinted neon.
|
I agree with Kenji-
As for ckn - Quote:

Both are great. I would be happy either way.
But considering the game is for DS, maybe a DPP-style would be more suitable. |
ehh everybody a critic.. all im saying is the graphics of HG&SS (also including the great 3D look of the trainers bag use) are very attractive and to me is a way better improvement than what the game wouldve seemed like with GBA graphics. although i do agree with you on the pokemon that constantly marches behind you (i truely hope they fix that) and the new grass aswell. when i saw that grass all i could think of was that they shouldve put that kinda grass in a safari zone or something lol
|
I HATE THE NEW GAME BECAUSE I WANT IT LIKE THIS AND NOT LIKE THAT.
BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHcaps |

I really don't care for the graphics, I saw a few screen shots, they look perfectly find the way they are :t354:TG |
I'm not quite sure why you're bashing the OP... I think that she stated her opinion in a very calm way and was not whining about HGSS at all! We all have our own preferences.
There's not much speculation left to do, as it's obvious from the screenshots already that we'll be getting graphics similar to the DP style. And while I do happen to prefer the GBA-style graphics, it only makes sense for HGSS to be in DP style -- otherwise it would be seen as 'backtracking,' in a sense. I wish we were still in the GBA era, then my favorite graphics style would be acceptable~ |
Am i the only one here that prefers the DPPT graphics?
Comparing the two, In my opinion that is, the gba graphics aren't nearly as nice but thats just me ._. |
You *almost* hit the nail on the head, thread starter. The graphics are closer to Platinum, with more polished and varied 3d objects, and I like it that way. It's easier to make things look nice in a 2d style, though. Less grainy and all that.
On a liken note, did anyone notice there were actual ramps(!!) at the well? The only other time I've seen a real live ramp in a Pokemon game is in the Platinum Battle Frontier. |
I'm torn between the two. Fr/Lg graphics were very pretty, but I just love the Platinum graphics, and HG/SS is looking even better.
|
Psshaw! You people and you're graphics! Back in the day, we didn't care about graphics, and we shouldn't today either! I just want it to be a good game. Just like Grandmama use to make! D:<
Other than my old person speech, which quite frankly I'm too young to be making, I would like to say that I kind of enjoy the newer graphics, since they seem more fresh. But, I do see the appeal of 3-D, so I respect either opinion. |

*ahem* When I was a boy We didn't have all these fancy Three dimensions, and we didn't care!! If we wanted color, we'd paint the screen with red finger paint and call it a day!!! But you young whippersnappers are so caught up with your, depths, and colors, and "animooted pixels" /shakes cane violently /teeth fall out --- anywayys They can't satisfy EVERYONE, even if they went gen3 style, we'd have people making opics like this about how superior the dppt graphics were anyways o3o |
I would just like the DPP graphics to be saturated (Like FRLG). Pale color's don't really suit Pokemon IMO.
|
I didn't like FR/LG graphics design, as I liked R/S/E's ones. But, without any doubt I'm choosing the new graphics.
There's nothing out of proportion, and If you're claiming for a giga wailord following you, just forget that, you won't have that. |
I would like the graphics to be like the D/P/Pt ones.
|
I hated the Fr/Lg and D/P graphics but I loved the R/S/E and Platinum graphics so I wouldn't choose any of those options
|
I wouldn't care otherwise. In fact, I'm just in for the new features...and the nostalgia.
|
platinum grafics are the most cooler for me
|
That's something I believe, but the DS graphics isn't even nearly as smooth and colourful as the GBA graphics.
But in all other ways, the DS graphics is better. I'd love it if they could just add maximum smoothness to DS graphics, because the graphics being sharp and less detailed in terms of colour just doesn't seem nice. It's also annoying when I see those less worked on graphics of the DS with abrupt ending because of low detail, and when I see that the vivid colouring is gone. So, if these few things could be implemented in the DS graphics, it would be better than the GBA graphics in all ways. |
Definetely the DPPt graphics. Out of all the generations rse/frlg had the worst ever. I dunno I just didn't like the strange-ness to it. It felt way more blocky then the other games.
|
It's same for me, even if it is with R/B/Y graphics (but it isn't). Graphics aren't really so important, it's just gameplay.

but how can you notice a difference between DP and Platinum?! they just look the same to me you people just need to be less picky D: everyones already going on about losing the "nostalgia" for god sake, theres GOING to be new things, i wouldn't pay for an identical remake, it'd be boring? you're just gonna have to face it that they're not gonna use FR/LG graphics for a Nintendo DS game.. it'd be downright disappointing. |

its just my opinion. but they haven't DRASTICALLY changed have they? not like between RSE and FR/LG and my whole point was that, i dont understand how someone can full on HATE the DP graphics but LOVE the platinum ones when the differences aren't that drastic? jeeez. Quote:
christ didn't realise i'd get hated on for one little comment |
Yeah, its just a tile change, its not a complete style change.
The styles pokemon games have had are: r/b/y/g/s/c > r/s > fr/lg/e > d/p/p/hg/ss |

Thanks everyone for your opinions :D
|
I love the D/P/Pt style. I just hope that the new Pokemon sprites are to die for.
They're supposed to be remaking all 251 Pokemon sprites. Bulbasaur through Celebi. I'm hoping Flaffy gets an adorable revamp ... |
D/P just because it's a 4th Gen game no point in downgrading the graphics
There is a hack by Zel a guy that use to come on here called Pokemon ShinyGold thats off of FireRed |

I didn't like the Fr/Lg graphics, but for the most part I really don't care what they put. I just want to be able to tell what everything is.

If anyone honestly cared about the graphics, no one would have even played the originals. It's about the game play. That's more important. I like the current graphics they have now. Platinum so far had the best graphics before this game. (Way better than DP. Dp was awful. How could they make a guy dress that way? How could they? At least Platinum gave him much better clothing and better color palette.) I like the graphics they have now, and I'm glad the gyms in this game look different than the old ones. Those candles look awesome in Morty's gym. It's so classy! The Dance Theater looks gorgeous, and I finally like seeing sand in a Pokemon game. Cianwood has the best color sand. It looks incredible. I love it! The sand in most of the other games looks awful in my honest option. Also, the lava actually looks nice in this game! :D It looks very realistic and not like tomato soup.
|
I prefer Platinums graphics over the GBA remakes. Seeing it improved in HG/SS is great. The area around Slowpoke Well and the shots we've seen inside the Gyms look fantastic.
|
You want FR/LG graphics in a remake? Go play ShinyGold. We already know from the commercial and every other source of information that remakes will definitely be in DPP graphics.
|
What I really think is going on in this whole change of graphics is the Pokemon Company is easing us forward into the world of tomorrow. They're taking the 2D graphics and flushing them down the toilet and replacing them with this 2.5-D stuff. This makes the games less boring too and, with large success, attracts non-players and players alike to go buy and play them. Taking in the whole picture, I think they're pushing forward so that eventually they'll get into 3D graphics on the handhelds (much later, of course). But personally, I enjoyed the 2D graphics. Don't get me wrong though. I understand where they're coming from. Keeping people engaged in these games is what its all about, right? And what better than to wipe the slate clean and create an entirely new look and feel to the game? This brings the thought of 3D to our attention and I'd reeeeeally enjoy playing in 3D instead of the bridge between them. Then there'd be no need for a separate screen for battles! ...All in theory, of course.
|
What's with the antagonism against the D/P/PT graphics? Battle sprites and effects looked better than any previous Pokemon game, and my only complaint about the overworld is the lack of anti-aliasing on some objects.
If you have to nitpick about D/P/Pt, nitpick on the story and the crappy pokemon designs like I do. >_> |
Honestly, the graphics are not what makes the game good. So I wouldn't care even if they kept the same graphics from the original GSC, as long as it was compatible with DPPt, up-to-date, and full of fun gameplay. Plus both styles have their own charms, so I'm sure either one could end up looking nice.
|
It's not that I don't like the FR/LG graphics, but I think it'd be odd to go from good graphics to okay graphics. Also, it'd be a little strange for people who have been playing D/P/Pt a lot.
|
It Wouldn't really matter to me.
|
I think the D/P/P graphics were a great improvement, they look very good in my opinion. Sure, I needed some time to get used to it but they were better than the 2 dimensional ones from adavanced gen (especially R/S/E looked bad imo).
I'm very satisfied with how it looks. |
I kinda liked the 3-D graphics especially in the Distortion World in Platinum.
|
It'd be nice if they used the DPPt graphics, but made them look more natural. You know, not have the trees look like big green blobs like in D/P. Platinum was a lot better, IMO. I really don't care, as long as we get the games.
|
I would prefer 3-D graphics. They look nicer and show for more modern graphics. They wouldn't look as nice on the DS than they would on the PSP, but I still prefer 3-D graphics to 2-D, though I still like my RPGs as 2-D for some reason.
|
I like the 3D Diamond and Pearl graphics, but I do hope that in HeartGold and SoulSilver they make it just a little more colorful.
|
I liked FrLg a lot, especially graphics, but Diamond/Pearl did a pretty nice job too, even though you can easily see mappin/programmin' mistakes that Game freak did, and that makes me feel that those games are unstable. The graphics themselves are OK, but just too cartoonish at some points... Platinum did a better job, but HGSS is a big stage ahead of all the others so far. I just hope I get that unstable feel again...
*I voted Both, BTW* |
I already like the HGSS graphics better than the FrLg ones. (Although it's easier to sprite the FrLg overworlds, the HGSS graphics show more detail and the sprites look a lot better.) I prefer the graphics they have now.

I much more prefer the graphics from the 4th generation. It does not make sense to me why there would be FR/LG graphics on a Nintendo DS. It's only natural that the graphics should improve with each generation. :D
|
I love 4th generation graphics.
3D is neat. |
LGFR was good for its time but its 2009 and time to move on to better thing.
|
As long as it looks good, I don't care. I liked both FR/LG and D/P's graphics.
|
I would preffer Firered/Leafgreen and that it was on the GBA. Because my DS sucks ass, and my GBA is in perfect condition :p
|
Play Liquid Crystal/Shiny Gold if you want FRLG graphics. After having all the 493 Pokemons, and all the new moves, the DS graphics will be the main reason i`ll play it.
|
I do not know which one I like more. D/P sprites look tacky just a little bit but its 3D. And for the older GBA games, lack of 3D, but not so tacky sprites.
|
These are the graphics I prefer: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g147/KartWheelyGirl/Coolestpicsever.png
(Here's an example of how Johto would look with FrLg graphics. To see, open the spoiler. I made Mahogany Town using FrLg graphics (cred goes to spriters-resource for tiles and also, b/c I didn't make the interior of the building.) Spoiler:
|
I would have picked either but unfortunately I didn't play FireRed/LeafGreen a whole lot.
|
I am very impressed with HG/SS's graphics so far. However, I have one quibble, some of the grass looks goofy. It looks like curly hair! LOL
|
I'm not too picky, but I like the DS graphics over the GBA ones. I honestly don't care though.

Well, I'd definitely prefer the 3D graphics of D/P/Pt and especially HG/SS. It adds a new feel to the games. As long as the graphics aren't bad (which they obviously aren't), then I'm fine with it. Even if the graphics are bad, the game is still playable. |
This is what I hate when people talk on a product that hasn't even come out yet. You get so many complaints, but at the end of the day, the company knows what will work best and what will sell most. You should learn to trust what they are doing and step into the future. The games have the DP graphics for a reason, as they work best currently
|
If it were GBA graphics, they would have made them for GBA and not for the DS, I like both styles, but I think the D/P/P graphics ar better, cause the maps can look more beautiful then, and kinda more new as the GBA graphics.
|
I think this thread somehow has no meaning. All of us are Pokémon fans, and except for the rare few, we will still play the new games regardless of graphics.
However, if you think on a broader scale, outside of loyal fans, then you will realize that there would be very different responses than the ones from people posting here. For example, if when they made the new DS Pokémon games, they used FireRed/LeafGreen graphics, many people would complain. Fans would still play the games, but many others who aren't fans might have less reason to play them. When they make new games they have to consider drawing new fans in, so they try to create graphics that best suit the console they're working with. In this case, they moved to the DS which has better graphical capabilities, and thus took advantage of those capabilities. I think they feel, however, that they couldn't have went fully 3D, because that would feel somewhat foreign to veteran fans of the series. So, the game has mostly 2D graphics, with the 3D perspective rolling effect on the overworld sprites, and 3D level graphics. I like the direction they took with the move to the DS. I'm always open to improvements in graphics, and in my opinion, they improved them. I never liked their 3D rolling effect, because it makes the sprites look pixelated, and they should be anti-aliased on top of having that effect to remove the pixelation. I'm actually glad they kept those graphics for HeartGold/SoulSilver, because I've taken a liking to them. I just wish they had kept Kris from Crystal instead of completely replacing her with someone else. (I think they don't like blue hair. :P) |
I want Diamond and pearl style, but with add ons if you get what I mean? Like give it the Jhoto twist. lol
