    Lol, you can't be serious. HD development is much more complex than that. It's not just a case of upping the textures.

    The current Pokemon titles are using game design similar to PS2-era RPG's, because that's all the 3DS hardware is capable of. The jump from that to current day standards is absolutely gigantic. For a developer going from PS2-PS3 (or Wii to Wii U) the jump was already massive, but to go from 3DS game and world design (which is an evolution of the DS games) to a home console like the Switch...god damn. I can't think of a similar jump. I guess it would be like the Link's Awakening team working on a game like Ocarina.

    My biggest concern about this game is that it ends up getting rushed out the gate. I know they've said 2018 is the target but I would rather they took their time really push the boundaries of the franchise and its game design forward. It would be pretty disappointing if they just gave us a HD version of what had come before. Game Freak are a small team compared to say the Zelda or Mario teams, right? I hope they are given time and resource to do the franchise justice.

    I am 100% serious. The models and everything are all set for HD and have been for a while. All they need to do is textures and the usual bump mapping etc. and it'd be fine.

     

    Look at HD images of Gen 7. The models are fantastic in HD. Everything is. This is part of why the games have run so poorly, they're too advanced for the 3DS

    Their game engine struggles on the 3DS because the models are too complex though... their engine is already HD ready, that's why it runs like ass. Just plop some better textures on and you have a beautiful Pokémon game that will run well on a Switch


    Also assuming the job listing is for Pokémon Switch is a bit illogical. Don't forget that Creatures Inc. do a lot of their own stuff

    Not strictly US/UM related, but this seems to be the best place to put it.

    Looks like Creatures are hiring people with UE4 and Unity experience, and interestingly have shown what seems to be a Pokemon related prototype in UE4!

     

    Creatures make their own spinoffs like Poke Park and Detective Pikachu, but also help to co-develop the mainline games (in particular, they're responsible for all of the Pokemon 3D models in the 3DS Pokemon games).

     

    Could Game Freak be ditching their own engine and moving to UE4? (Oh good lord please!)

    Don't get your hopes up. Also why would UE4 be better than their own engine?

    Surprised that nobody here has pointed out that they've made the previously unavailable GS Ball event now accessible in the western version of the game for this VC release! (Before it was exclusive to the JPN version and only if you connected online using the Mobile GB Adapter).

    Going to be shiny hunting my Shiny Celebi on stream :D

    Hearing the news, I have to say that I kinda prefer this casting to Danny DeVito. In terms of who would fit it better, mind. DeVito would have been far more hilarious.

    Hey, Game Freak, instead of those craptastic Hat Pikachus you've been shoving down our throats, how about a Detective Pikachu distribution, complete with Ryan Reynolds's voice clips?

    You can have that one for free.

    Detective Pikachu can't use moves so nope

    My girlfriend has moved her stuff in so far, I won't be doing mine until Internet is installed due to the requirements for my job

    She has so much stuff, it's insane. Unfortunately, the sofa her mum gave us won't fit properly

    I found the volleyball one to be more a pain in the butt than the skipping one. You tried it yet?

    Volleyball is just a pain because it takes forever to get going

    I think so, but I'm not entirely sure on how they go about it. So it's time to call the only person you should when something is beyond my scope.

    OI! @Serebii! GET IN HERE!  Do you have an idea on how Game Freak check for modded Pokémon? They have been clamping down on it quite a bit over the past year.

    Basically checking if the values people create are valid. It's possible to create Pokémon that don't have anything wrong, but people are lazy and miss bits

    Is that where the left joy-con suddenly gets a mind of its own? It happened a fair few times with me, as well. I had to keep pairing it up again with the Switch to stop it from happening.

    Pretty much, yeah
