Really? I think it looks fine. Nothing mindblowing, but fine. Pokemon has never been the best looking game on any system. Look at how the GBA games look VS stuff like Golden Sun, the DS games VS Okamiden and Metroid Prime Hunters, etc. Obviously their Switch output was subpar visually, but Winds/Waves looks fairly competent.
It just looks like Scarlett and Violet with slightly better graphics. Which looked like Sword and Shield with a slightly better graphics. Plus what we've seen wasn't even gameplay footage yet. I guess I should hold judgement until it actually releases, but so far not optimistic as far as visuals. And honestly I think I'm fine with that. Maybe it's the open world that isn't working for me? It just feels like something is missing. I'll still play it I'm sure, just feels like it could be so much more.
