Pitched as the “first AAA quality game of the NFT space,” Pixelmon is a play-to-earn open-world RPG where, instead of catching ’em all, players purchase NFT Pixelmon for extraordinary prices. NFT sales went live before the Pixelmon game was ready to showcase, leaving potential players and buyers left to make purchasing decisions based on concept art. Now, Pixelmon purchasers are able to view the actual character they’ve purchased, and, needless to say, a lot of people are unhappy.
Pushed to launch a preview of Pixelmon‘s 3D NFTs so buyers could see what they’d spent money on, purchasers are sharing images of what they acquired on social media. The images, unfortunately, do not look up to the quality shown in early concept art for Pixelmon. Further, some Pixelmon just look broken, including dragons floating sideways, another sunken into the ground, and yet another having no Pixelmon whatsoever shown in its preview.
The team behind the NFT project has acknowledged the issue. In a message shared from Pixelmon‘s Discord, a message from project founder Syber stated that they “made a horrible mistake.” Syber went on to apologize and assert that what’s being shown is unacceptable, explaining the artwork was not ready to share but the team felt pushed to reveal it anyway. Syber promised that the organization is working to ensure all existing problems are solved and that the team is pledging $2 million of the project’s funding to “revamp and redesign our NFTs at a higher quality.”
What that means is that Pixelmon NFT buyers will have yet another long wait ahead of them as a new “reputable” art studio is hired and new art is created. Syber says that the quality right now is unacceptable and the team will make amends.
