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.

Late July 11th, 2009 2:21 AM

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.

i can see what you mean, difference wise, between FR/LG and RSE, slightly...
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.

Even I wasn't able to differentiate between them untill you gave these pics lol :P. Its maybe coz I didn't paid much attention to them. I didn't understood whether you were praising D/P or Pt. But I think that Pt has better visuals.

I would rather have the FireRed / LeafGreen Graphics for this.

Does anyone else agree?

Well, the DS graphics used in DPPt made things look 3d, and made hills and such, so it will be interesting to see what Kanto will look like redone in the DS style.

Ryanniny July 11th, 2009 3:41 AM

its only the trees that changed,
i just can't see how people can hate DP graphics, but love platinum graphics? :|

No! Its not the trees that have only changed. If you take a closer look, you will find other differences too.

Just the trees? JUST THE TREES? Its less saturated, the path is more smoth and less blocky, the ledges are more natural, the grass patches are more natural, and the flowers are a tiny bit smaller. I will post every single area now just to show you how they changed:
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-pt/3.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-dp/3.png
You can tell the lake isn't some random box of water, and the hill is much more flowing in the grass.
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-dp/5-north.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-pt/5-north.png
The bridge is much smoother and better.
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-pt/6-cyclingroad.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-dp/6-cyclingroad.png
Has actual lamposts, has a much better texture for the bridge, and has tunnels. I know doesn't count too much the tunnel but yeah.
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-pt/9.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-dp/9.png
The trees are much more unique.
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-pt/60.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/sinnoh-dp/60.png
The houses changed and the road is with a different texture.
Need I say more?

ok christ calm down :| talk about over-reaction?
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.

i just meant that one picture that was given
christ didn't realise i'd get hated on for one little comment

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 4:34 AM

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

You didn't get hated. I just wanted to tell you and that's all.

i'Aisha July 11th, 2009 5:25 AM

Thanks everyone for your opinions :D

RockmanEXE July 11th, 2009 5:38 AM

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 ...

FreakyLocz14 July 11th, 2009 6:19 AM

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

Like we really don't know of shinygold the hack that basically helped PC grow.(yes I was kidding)

Ayselipera July 11th, 2009 7:09 AM

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.

Sweet Smoochum July 11th, 2009 8:37 AM

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.

solaris knight July 11th, 2009 11:42 AM

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.

PokemonLeagueChamp July 11th, 2009 12:01 PM

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.

hackritus July 11th, 2009 3:48 PM

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.

Timbjerr July 12th, 2009 1:57 PM

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. >_>

Ellie July 12th, 2009 2:00 PM

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.
