It's been a LONG time since I've played a JRPG. But I picked up Ni No Kuni and I've been hooked all day. I kinda wish Pokemon had a similar combat system instead of the same thing I played as a kid.

Poor graphics.
I thought the 3DS was capable of Gamecube quality graphics. What's with all the blocks and jaggies?

and the camera looks too zoomed in. (on the walking around screenshots)
The 3DS Xl's screen is huge and should show alot more.

and lastly I still hate the main character's design.
Looks so ordinary, it should be more iconic.
Looks like a girl too.

This is what happens when you force 3D rendering on a system not powerful enough to do itself justice. Nintendo should have kept the same specs, but scrapped the 3D,and we would see a very noticeable increase in quality.

Have you seen resident evil revelations, Super Mario 3d land,Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, or Luigis Mansion just to name a few and this game actually looks really good and is pretty big with a lot of new things to do.

I certainly hope you guys have seen other games on the 3DS. If you have you'd know capable of much better visuals then this.

Pokemon is about content and not pretty visuals. It always has been. Pokemon could have done 3D visuals on the DS, but it chose not to so the creators could focus on making more activities, pokemon, and battles to enjoy in the game.

Besides, 3DS and other handheld games look much better in motion. XY is no exception and it looks fairly better than this in footage.

You choose your characters hair ,hair Color ,eye color and skin color you also get to get new clothes at shops in the game.

These pictures are old they've been on the pokemon website for forever and a day.

Jirachi3943d ago

to those complaining the pictures look "poor" because the blew them up (increased the size)
whenever you take an image and stretch it looks like crap.
go ahead take a screen shot of a ps3 game and then strecth it out to 300% it'll look s***y

3DS game screenshots always seem to grossly under represent the game that's being shown. The games in question look a lot better on an actual 3DS.

Making Pokémon 3D Was A Mistake

Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.

why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.

Answer should be obvious.

No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon

Nintendo 3DS Games We Still Love Playing Even Today

BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."

When Will The Pokemon Company Introduce a New Typing?

The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
