To be honest, I've been really nervous about doing this video. Mainly it comes down to my opinion of the graphics. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think they look great, and my fear is that those people will think I'm being unreasonable. But I've got to stand by my opinion here--they look very nice in certain places and conditions, and the color especially makes things pop. But I just think it's lacking that extra level of sharpness and polish that I've come to expect from AAA Nintendo games, and the animations leave a lot to be desired. If you're one of those people who love how it looks and just don't see the same thing I see when you look at it, I totally understand that and I hope we can respectfully disagree.

Graphics aren't everything, but when they're used by the company as an excuse not to include features it's open for every bit of criticism

Graphics aren't everything... but they're not nothing.

What pisses me off the most isn't even the National Dex, but the way they are handling the situation, instead of comunicating and giving info about it. They at least shouldn't keep it shut

[orkermon]

What annoys me the most about the lack of a National Dex is that I know for a fact that later on "Bringing back the National Dex" will be a selling point for future generations.

Arlo: The Pokémon Company could make the game better because they have tons of money!

The Pokémon Company: He knows too much.

God I love how wholesome this guy is. Like he gives the most polite and lighthearted rundown of his opinions and then he's like "BOY, that was spicy of me." Please never change, Arlo.

“If you want graphics, don’t play Nintendo Systems”

Arlo: Are you *kidding* me?

*everyone liked that*

Pokemon fans are speculating what features will be cut.” -Smogon University

Your Pokemon are stuck in Pokemon Home? Is Home just a ploy by Team Rocket?

[AniGaAG]

Actually, lil' update: People did proper comparisons, and they really are the exact same models.
They weren't updated.

Pokemon: SOME OF US ARE HERE

Arlo I'm always so thankful for these controversial videos thank you for not being a pushover

[galloviking]

Graphics aren't everything, but when they're saying they're working on graphics and models so hard they are cutting Pokémon from the final game, you're expecting graphics to be pretty darn good...

[decusq]

You know thats one thing that always weirded me out. Pokemon makes billions of Dollars for Nintendo and yet I keep hearing the phrase "Not enough funds for development'... Are you kidding me? If your company is making BILLIONS of dollars you don't have the right to say "Development costs." Pay your workers what they need, use techniques that make the game look it's best and develop the best game you can despite the CEO wanting another mansion!

[thescarecrowman]

If they didn't want us to talk about the models, graphics, and visual polish they shouldn't have used it as their excuse for why the national dex wasn't included.

"no dlc"

This is the company that sells almost 2 exact same games at launch and expect long time fans to buy both

Multibillion dolar company needs more money, please understand.
