You know.
I disagree with the Graphics being the msot important to draw people to his game.
Why?
Because it's not some no name game you've never heard of.
When you go to some random game site, then yeah, the looks are a decisive factor for whether or not you want to play.
But, It's Pokemon.
Everyone already knows what it is, how it plays, and if they like it or not.
I doubt that a rabid Pokemon fan is going to ditch it just because it uses default control graphics. Very few people are going to come across it and say "well, I've never heard of this Pokemon thing before!"
As with any fan game, there are a shit load of people that will play it JUST because it's there. They just want the immersion. As long as they can do all the crap they can in an offline pokemon game, they'll want to play it, even if if it was in fucking black and white.
With games based on something this popular, you don't need to attract players really. It's basically a "you like it, or you don't" kind of thing, and 90% of the time, you know it before taking a look at the game.
