The dexcut would've been reasonable if they did it with XY. It would've been understandable then with the jump to 3D. But Game Freak actually went through with the effort to make models, textures, and animations for all 721 Pokemon at the time and all their alternate forms. Game Freak and Creatures even modeled out gender differences. Remember, they also introduced Amie in the same game, which means they did more work than what was strictly necessary and made special animations and interactions for all 721 Pokemon for Amie. They did this in 2013 for a handheld with a screen resolution of 400x240.
They've done the fucking work. Yet now I'm supposed to believe that simply reusing the assets they've already created for the Switch games is just too hard now? Fuck off.
>but they h-have to update things
Yeah, maybe they do. But the bulk of the work is done and updating the textures or adding new animations is a fraction of the work they did for XY. They can absolutely keep every Pokemon in the game if they really wanted to. So don't give me this "oh it's too much effort" bullshit, they just want to save a few extra pennies and encourage people to pay for the HOME scam.
