It's Pokémon game release season, which also means it's "Complaining About Modern Pokémon" season. Today, Nintendo and Pokémon fans were riled up by a tweet from Dan Salvato, creator of Doki Doki Literature Club, who posted two screenshots from a recent trailer for Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

"The Pokemon franchise has grossed more than MCU, Mario, and Harry Potter combined. Why do these graphics look like they're from a GameCube game?," he wrote.


The tweet brings up a complaint that's plagued the Pokémon franchise, especially after it began releasing games on the Nintendo Switch. Many fans have expressed disappointment in the games' switch to home consoles, particularly with the graphical fidelity, which some think are not up to par with other modern titles (who could forget Treegate). This, itself, got Pokémon defenders riled up in the QRTs, with many arguing that the screenshots portray the game's art style.


However, on a slightly less-exhausting note, Salvato's tweet inspired people to post screenshots of old GameCube games, either to make the point that Legends: Arceus is a step up from the 20-year-old console or to simply admire how good GameCube games looked back then.


Granted, all this hemming and hawing about upcoming Pokémon games is just something that seems like it will plague Pokémon forever, at least until Game Freak goes full-on Unreal Engine, Nintendo, Hire This Man graphics, but at least with this most recent controversy, the silver lining is we get to remember some enjoyable GameCube games.
