Spoilers The visuals so far

I know some people were pretty underwhelmed by them since they were expecting something along the lines of "LoZ: Breath of the Wild" or "Super Mario Odyssey", but I personally like the "Let's Go" visuals for Sword and Shield. They look like something out of a painting.

I also really like the "industrialism and nature" theme they're going for here. I wish to see what kind of ideas they have for this, I can only imagine the possibilities.

 

I like them. Yeah, they aren't the best graphics we've seen on the Switch, but they still look fairly nice. A lot better than LGPE at least.

EDIT: So after having a closer look at the trailer and screen shots I don't think the graphics are quite as good as what I originally thought. The Pokémon models themselves look fine, but the background and environments need improvements done to them imo. Some of the details look very blurry and flat. This is especially obvious with the mountains, the grass, and the trees. I really hope they fix up the graphics before release, but I worry that might not happen.

 

It's let's go pikachu/eevee, but much better imo. Graphics were never a big thing for me but Galar looks really nice so far.

 

I am going to quietly pray this game pulls a DQXI and gives us the option to swap between these visuals and the more traditional 2D sprites. I didn't like the models in Gen VI, or VII, or in LGPE, and I don't like them in this either. They just don't look right to me and, whilst they've gotten more colourful - which was a major issue I had with the 3DS games; they looked like washed-out plastic - they're still very static and bland which is even more jarring when the world is so visually striking. It just doesn't work for me.

 

The Bigger Avatar models remind me of the bigger models you would see in Pokémon X and Y when you would change your outfit. For some reason this is more nostalgic then suprising. But I can get the game because iḿ poor and I has no switch ;_;

 

IMO the best looking game was diamond and pearl, along with the soundtrack
