Environment artist's take on what a Pokemon centre might look like, in HD.

Definitely what needs to happen with Pokemon. I'm surprised they've never brought it to the consoles to do something like this. Maybe after Pokemon Snap they said forget about it.

Looks like Mass Effect

Looks cool, but I don't know that I'd actually care for that in Pokemon. It doesn't really fit the tone of the series.

These photos just scream Pokemon...Colosseum....2.....

Yes because photorealism is what Pokemon needs.:roll:

We said the same exact thing. Holy crap.

Never understood the draw of pokemon, anyone able to enlighten me? What have I missed?

I was thinking it looks like PS Home. Definitely doesn't fit what I've seen of Pokemon, which is limitied to the cartoons one or two times.

Do not want.

Pushing realism into pokemon wouldn't work. I don't think it fits the tone of the pkemon games

I think it looks pretty sweet. Don't really need a whole game like that, though. I would love to see pokemon with somewhat detailed, full 3D environments and exploration. It could fit a good bit of detail, but wouldn't need to be a super crisp "realistic" style. Definitely still with pokemon's cartoony colors. Cel shaded style might work really well.

People are taking this the wrong way. The art style could be changed to anything the devs want be it ultra-realism or super duper cartoony (cel shaded). This serves more as proof of concept IMO. As in, converting Pokemon to full 3D (with the right art style) could actually work + adding a new layer of depth to the world. For example we always had a notion that technology in the Pokemon Universe was pretty damn advanced, but this simple Pokemon Center conveys that same idea extremely well. If only Nintendo were to listen to it's fans and random internet artists lol :P
