Pokemon Legends Z-A’s visuals aren’t “great” say former Nintendo marketing leads, but hope Switch 2 could allow Game Freak to “go back to the drawing board” and add more detail to future RPGs
Pokemon Legends: Z-A was finally unveiled properly last month, and right on cue, it brought with it a new wave of discourse surrounding its visuals. Now, two former Nintendo marketing leads have weighed in, saying that the new RPG “doesn’t look great,” but at this point, it might be a case of what we see is what we get.
I, frankly, can’t remember the last time a Pokemon game was released and someone didn’t complain about what it looked like. Remember when some people thought Black and White’s animated battle sprites looked bad? (They were so good, too.) Anyway, the tradition has returned with Legends: Z-A, and former Nintendo Minute hosts Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang (also Nintendo of America’s former director of social media marketing and original content, and former senior manager of creator relations and original content, respectively) don’t have high hopes about the RPG looking significantly better at launch.
