>>44001785Feel like part of the reason the franchise has felt frozen in time since 2013 is the use of the same 3d models over and over. I get it from a practical stance but so many of these are just soulless and wrecked a ton of mons, they also seem to refuse to update them. I know the older 3d games re-used models too but it was less noticeable back before it had seeped into the mainline games and nearly every spin-off was in 3d, pokken is the only one that comes to mind that uses unique models. It's part of why I would like another 2d sprite-based game but without the hardware restrictions of the ds.
