In truth, the graphics do not look that bad. Fans may very well be nitpicking or simply bashing an early build of the game. Pokemon Day and the time leading up to it was huge for franchise and this reveal was mostly accepted across the fanbase.

There are those that feel Pokemon Legends Arceus does not make the best of the Nintendo Switch system. They feel it is not on par with the graphics of other games that have released on the system.

Using all the resources of the console's power with bad optimizations and bad graphics is not pushing the limits of the console. BotW and Xenoblade showed us what could be done with the Switch system, for the moment Pokemon Legend:Arceus is clearly not on par with those games.

Man Legends Arceus looks so bad. I hope they at least get a somewhat stable framerate if they graphics continue to look like poop. At least the gameplay looked nice.

I wonder if the graphics will be better for Pokemon Legends Arceus. People talked about the ugly tree in S&S, but the trees are much worse in the Arceus trailer.

Plenty of individuals believe an upgraded Nintendo Switch will be arriving any day. Whether it is a Nintendo Switch Pro, Super Nintendo Switch, or whatever Nintendo plans on calling it, it is almost a certainty that one will be released.

Of course, nothing is official until its official. If this newer Switch does come though, boosted graphics to a variety of games will almost certainly follow. That includes Pokemon Legends Arceus.

Can’t wait to hear Switch owners complain that Switch Pro owners have a higher framerate and better graphics on Legends: Arceus ☕️🐸 ☕️🐸 ☕️🐸

Switch Pro been real. Nintendo just being quiet about it. You think that Arceus game is running 5 fps on launch? Hell nah. Neither is Breath of the Wild. BOTW 2 will be playable on switch but it will run best on switch pro.

With the Nintendo Switch Pro happening now that means Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Remakes will look absolutely stunning especially Pokémon Legends Arceus on the big screen in 4K

In the end, no one is ever going to be fully satisified when it comes to anything. Pokemon Legends Arceus is a game that many people have wanted for a long time. It could be the worst Pokemon game of all time and some fans will still love it.

Pokemon Legends Arceus is scheduled for release in early 2022 with no specific date given yet. Fans can get their hands on New Pokemon Snap and the Diamond and Pearl remakes while they wait for the first open-world game in the franchise.
