I kind of see some switch games as more handheld games (FE3H and Pokemon jump to mind immediately) whereas stuff like BOTW feel more like console games in terms of graphics and how I would like to play them- I haven’t played FE3H once on my TV yet I always use the TV for BOTW.I wouldn't go as far as to say that Pokémon is one of the better looking examples on the switch. Many of my other games like Smash, Pokken and the like all manage to look very, very good.
I'll also argue that it's not how high quality the polygons are; there's also other aspects that weigh heavily like art style - and I would argue that FE definitely is a game that looks better or worse depending on your tastes.
And specifically to Pokémon, there are the aforementioned re-used models. No matter how good the rest of the game looks, it is still a problem unique to them that the returning Pokémon will just never be able to feel fresh as long as they continue to use models/animations that were on the 3DS 5 years ago - and that that problem intensifies when their default animations just don't look very good, like Lucario's just standing with its arms by its sides and Skarmory's hovering in the air. It's an even bigger indictment when other new default poses/animations have a lot more personality to them, like Linoone, Obstagoon or Impidimp. I understand why this is an issue of course, and this isn't a criticism of the graphics designers. It''s more just accepting that, yeah, this doesn't look great.
But again, that aside, I do want to say that other areas like the trainers and the urban areas from what I've seen look very, very good and that's one of the high points of the game so far.
And yeah, or course a game will look bad graphically if you cherrypick the worst screenshots and compare them to nice shots from another game. Please do fix the trees tho
