Gen 4->Gen5, Gen1->Gen2) Though Gen 6 to 7 was a step backwards but I blame that more on them making a lot of bad choices with Gen 7 (which they fixed by gen 8)

i mean gamefreak has been reusing pokemon models since x&y (with some exceptions) and animations as well. its a lot easier to do that than to model 800+ pokemon all over again for each game and wouldnt let the devs focus on more important stuff, would you really want some watered down pokemon game just with slightly better models? im sure theyll eventually update all the models when they look outdated but as of now they all look great

Such a shame GameFreak's development cycle seems to still revolve around 2D development. 3D games take longer and are more expensive to develop, but they still seem to have a really short dev cycle that constantly makes them cut on content, reuse assets, and overall cut corners just to get it relatively finished. Makes you wonder what these last few gens could've been like if they had an extra year or two of development

train "survice" I like that unused gym leader battle arrangement. I also like how the camera works with the T-Pose Pokeball Guy battle lol

[@EvyDevy]

Great video but I'm honestly don't think the 3D camera ever meant to be for the full game. The way the areas were designed feel too skinny to compliment 3D camera rotation. I personally think they had the 3D rotation for developing purposes. I've seen many cases where objects that are never fully seen in the game end up having full textures. That are there are clearly huge empty areas in the places we can't usually view, kinda showing they never planned for the full 3D rotation. That's my take on it. EDIT: Also, the hand feature in camp eventually was used for the feather toy you use from the looks of it. And the cut trainers seem pretty iffy. The characters could just maybe have code for fighting maybe?

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I personally think the 3D camera was originally intended simply because the entire around area the character was made and rendered in full detail, which we can see clearly in Hulbury city and Postwick city for example when the camera spins here. The in-house stuff however I do agree probably were meant to stay static since the other side of the house is not rendered. If anything I think they wanted a full 3D camera but didn't know where to place it yet so they made everything around the player and then decided to lock the camera in the end. As for the hand in the camp, in this mode the hand was used for everything including petting your Pokemon and throwing a ball even as seen there. Cut Trainer wise the characters didn't have code for fighting simply, these were literal trainer classes with a model assigned to the trainer classes there. Thus there was some intention to use these at one point before scrapped

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

I think it was more likely removed for performance reasons. 360° cameras and low/choppy frame rates induce disorientation and motion sickness.

That's a debug cam. Notice the 3 lines coming off your character when you activate the free cam in a cam restricted area like routes and houses.

The problem with just being thought of as a debug camera is that it would make sense IF they didn't go ahead and literally render everything around them too which is what you do when you have a 3D camera. For fixed camera you never both creating the full 3D environment around you that you aren't meant to see as its just a massive waste of resources. Combine that with the rotom minimap which is useful for a 3D camera does make an intentional 3D camera sound much more plausible. I do however think the camera is unfinished and thus why they never included it.

[@afish2281]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Again, the compass only appears when you use the free cam in an area that has a restricted cam, making those areas planned to have a restricted cam from the start. Rendering more than what the player should see is a very common developer trick for when the player accidentally sees a little more then what they're supposed to and incase you want to add scenes that move the camera.

[@RancorSnp]

One very interesting piece of unused content can actually be found in the actual final version of the game. And that is physical move animations for dynamax pokemon. In the final game, no matter what move the pokemon uses, it will use the special move animation, but each dynamax pokemon has an animation both for special and physical moves. Now this was probably locked to special only because of some difficulties with making the physical moves not break something - special moves are always safely cast from the distance and only the projectile needs to make contact, or maybe they didn't want to confuse the players why the animation if different for some moves if the effect is the same. But when they removed these moves from the battles, they did forget to remove them from the pokedex, so you can actually look at the physical dynamax animations in the actual finished game at least for the pokemon that have the gigantamax forms, even though it is unused content. (Shame we never got it because I really like these)

[@puppyhowler]

Hmm i wonder if they'll bring the fully rotating camera in a future game, like in a free-roaming open-world type pokemon game?

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

If the DLC is any indication, maybe so?

[@c-gcoconutgun2577]

Very informative vid. Kinda sad to see how much could have been added if they didn't have such a tight crunch and put a bit more passion into the games. Dlc has made me more optimistic (i absolutely loved crown tundra) but ig we'll have to wait and see

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Yeah and I blame the lack of time for them not being able to do what they wanted. The Pokemon Company really needs to realize that it's not 2D Gameboy Pokemon which could be done in 2 years, but a full 3D JRPG that needs 4-5 years at least.

[@ceivel1944]

i dont know why but seeing the applin gave me anxiety

[@monomias5713]

Why is there a mini map for sun and moon in the bottom right?

[@Yusei255]

cos that's the Alola map.

At 00:53, the placeholder for the Pokemon breeder's can be seen, at the top reads in Japanese, "TAMAGO", which is the word for "EGG"

[@fluffiest4304]

They probably removed the minimap cuz they realized the game is too linear to need one

[@EltaleLibrarian]

I greatly appreciate this video. I must say though, this is more of a pre-alpha than a beta, but very good nonetheless.

[@Twinklethefox9022]

I'm sad we can't pet our pokemon in pokemon camp. :( And some of those tracks and major unused trainer battles seamed cool

Aurorus actually IS in Sword and Shield, but you need the Expansion Pass to encounter it. Alternatively, you can get Aurorus without purchasing the DLC via trades.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

This is covering the base game as these were there in the beta but never appeared when the game came out. DLC is separate as that's its own development process

[@pentagonyx]

Dude I SO wish that they let us rotate the camera everywhere

[@wisgarus]

Also I want Rotom Dex back. Oh, how much I loved the guy. I hope the future of Rotom helpers (dex, phone etc.) will give us at least an option to talk to it, maybe in the future version of the Camp/Refresh analog

his mask being taken off isnt that surprising as allisters second card shows allister without her mask

Yeah but that's a 2D jpg. Here is a full 3D model doing that now :P

@@TheObsessiveGamer That doesnt make since pokemon dont wear masks meaning they had to model the mask in

I hate how they have a working minimap on the beta but none on the final game

[@randomstuffette6759]

I'm kinda sad that Peonia didn't get more screen time or even a battle. I wish she had more of a reason to be in Crown Tundra

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I do find it odd that we didn't get more of her. Guess another scrapped idea in the end.

[@sipeb587]

7:15 was that one of the sounds the player could produce on the half life 0.52 alpha? I instantly recognized it, although I had to turn up the volume to hear it. The one that says “Let me hear it one more time” or something.

[@notrybro]

they cut free camera and a mini map? they really tried... ALSO WOW EKANS AND ARBOK IN WILD AREA

This story I have that I can tell is almost no where on the internet and that’s because someone who’s old Twitter account who posted about the story got banned and so their story was lost, but here’s what they said: Nintendo was trying to keep this a secret, but a fan of pokemon got at a presentation of pokemon gold and silvers trailer a cartridge that said test 3 of 20, when they played it, it was a prototype pocket monsters version of pokemon gold and Nintendo always says that there is no more pocket monsters because they renamed their title to pokemon as it was to their opinion just to simple of a title, it lacked a creative title and the called it pokemon because they thought about their theme song they were creating for the pokemon kids show and thought we can’t say Picket Monsters! Gotta catch em, gotta catch em all pocket monsters! They said that’s a stupid lyric idea, and they thought about however though about his it’s supposed to be a trainer training creatures based game who’s mission in life is to get great pokemon to battle with an become the biggest player with all of them but so the still had cartridge shells the developers at Nintendo hand created even though Nintendo at some point finally got machines to make them, they had them being hand made at first and a few of them were to supposed to be showcased demos and some of them were being talked about at the meeting rooms discussing last minute changes and such, but a fan was given a box that although said pokemon gold on it, had accidentally gotten a cartridge in the box that was written on with a black pen that said Meeting room cartridge, where it was supposed to be talked about to the staff before it was going to be officially out, the worker that gave the customer the cartridge went to the Nintendo headquarters and they eventually found out their meeting prototype cartridge was missing, they thought about where it went and they looked at all the guests in the showcasing rooms names listed and they got in touch with all of them to ask them if they had the cartridge, the guy who was given it came back with the employee and gave it to the worker, the worker said it was a mistake and that he thought the customer who obtained it was one of Nintendo’s own employees by mistake! XDDD When they played it, they said it acted as though nothing appeared on the screen for literally 5 minutes but then it went to the title screen and there was a file already made, it was a single room game though with a entry list that counted up to 300 names for pokemon to include, some of them were just voice samples of pokemon with no sprites, some were actually darker versions of missingno one of the entries showed a piece of the cartridge itself as a image for the pokemon, it was somewhere next to the battery if the cartridge that a entries image showed, one of them was some of the workers desk he was making the cartridge at, and it showed in that entry mainly a black and white style if his cubical, one of them was if 1 if his eyes, there was a half drawn image for Entai, a few of them were the unknowns alphabet, one of them actually had a cut map piece in the entries image, but it wasn’t a cut map piece, it was the room I said the character was loaded in with the whole entry list, and it was a piece of the room the trainer was in that got into the entry. When they closed the entry window, and reopened the entry window, all the names were scrambled and the names even covered the pokemon images, the stats and information dialogue, when they existed the entry again the room was covered in black and white hex values and some coding scripts wording was on the screen. When they tried to walk around, all different music played on almost every tile walked on. They got their new game cartridge mailed to them a week later and Nintendo gave them 500 Yen in an envelope for returning it.

[@zsck]

I was waiting for this one

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@wisgarus]

Seeing how much was cut and rushed due to time constraints and being new to all these concepts such as the wild area, I'm really excited for the (amost definitely releasing this year) remake and *especially* gen 9, which as the trend goes, should be a big imrpovement on SwSh, just like Gold and Silver, Black and White and Sun and Moon were on Red and Blue, (arguably) Diamond and Pearl and X and Y.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

We'll see if we get Remakes of Gen 4 this year. The Pandemic really makes things uncertain, but I would hope taking what they learned here they can improve upon it

[@brod8142]

Damn. The Arbok line almost ended up in the game😔
