Game news Court: Are Pokémon games that good?
It was in 1996 that the very first games of a license that has become legendary today were born: Pokémon. Subsequently exported to Europe from 1999, our little pocket monsters have not ceased to exist and have seen players grow over time.
Even if the license is known to all, it has fallen considerably behind today, especially on the technique. But then why? The editorial staff of JV invites you to discover the new video of the Tribunal!
The most profitable license ever
Pokémon is a juggernaut in the gaming world. The game has spawned a well-known cartoon, card game, manga, movies, and more. The Pokémon phenomenon goes far beyond the game, it has become a cultural phenomenon in its own right. Pokémon is the most lucrative license in history with no less than 108 billion dollarsfar ahead of Hello Kitty, number 2. Games meanwhile come to 24 billion dollars, far from the profit of merchandising which is 84 billion.
A huge technical delay
As explained in the video, Pokémon games are profitable and since 2019, the license has been exported to Nintendo Switch with Pokémon Sword and Shield. However, it’s a disappointment, graphically the game is passable and clipping is disappointing in the wilds. Many believe that the problems are due to the capabilities of the console, technically limited to better transcribe the game into images, but when you see Breath of the Wildthere is a difference. Arceus meanwhile has not caught up technically, dropping the frame rate below 30 FPS. We recall in the video that many players have complained regarding the importance of the forgotten technique in this Pokémon Arceuswhich has not improved over time.
