Why can't Nintendo make something like this? We should have had something like this years ago with Nintendos touch.

Something like.....what? 3d movement in a full 3d world? You know, like Sun and moon just were? Or did you mean "realistic visuals"? Yeah, wonder how well that worked out for Pokemon Battle Revolution's pitiful sales.

[-Foxtrot]

You are comparing Sun and Moon to a set up like this?

Ha.

[InTheZoneAC]

Nintendon't understand what we want

[InKnight7s]

Nine ten doooo 😂

[3-4-5]

uhh what? it looks lifeless and with no charm or character.....That is why Nintendo doesn't make this.

The new Pokemon for Switch will be much better.

How long till Nintendo shoot this is the head, and we get the same old Pokemon game again.

[CrystalFantasy]

Nintendo snipes this down in 3... 2...1...

[Relientk77]

Fans do what Nintendon't

[badz149]

Nintendon't for a reason

[Enjoigamin]

New Pokemon snap and colosseum please

[Nebaku]

Imagine what it would be like if Pokemon had no personality, and functioned like someone's first Unity project!

This is the Pokemon game I’ve wanted for years

[Phill-Spencer]

Looks good but i already see the cease& desist order incoming.

[Theknightofnights]

This looks pretty bland, in my opinion.

[DigitalCentralMedia]

I actually agree

[ninsigma]

Nintendo needs to do something like this. Would love a fully realises Pokemon world to run around in like this.

This demo is quite cool. Obviously very buggy and unpolished with a massive overhaul needing to be done to the combat (not that this guy will have enough time before the cease and desist arrives) but it's the foundation of what a lot of people have been asking for.

this just highlights how stupid nintendos devs are. sure it takes longer but look at this! thats what we want, make it happen!!

[blawren4]

"We"'ve never been very good at what we want. How do you know Nintendo isn't working on this very idea? This is Nintendo/Game Freaks Ip and only they get to determine what direction their games take...on their schedule. What this does is akin to a child leaving home and and the parent no longer gets to dictate anything. Nintendo might as well let all copyrights and patents expire(aka letting that child leave home) than to allow fan remakes of their games.

[inxine]

i know cause, Nintendo. its ok tho, just said my piece and thats it really xD

[blawren4]

Clearly Nintendo doesn't appreciate these fan remakes. Knowing that, it makes absolutely no sense to spend time/effort on something like this. Make your own game if are that good, or pitch the idea to Nintendo. If they say yes, then go for it, if they say no, then work on something else, FFS. I hope Nintendo/Game Freak takes action immediately.
