Why do people think it's impossible for Gamefreak to do ITERATIVE work.
People constantly say "You can't expect Gamefreak to animate 900+ pokemon at once" but they should have been improving the weaker pokemon animations ever since XY. I was okay with some shitty animations in XY, but then the next game was a Hoenn remake, so they could have easily reanimated just the gen 3 pokemon and made sure none of them looked like shit. Then SM came out, they could have reanimated the gen 2 pokemon along with the new small batch of pokemon. Then USUM could have reanimated gen 4 or 5 pokemon along with that release. Then since LGPE only had around 153 pokemon, there was no excuse to not have put more effort into gen 1 pokemon animations. After all of this they could have buffed up almost all of the pokemon animations, plenty of franchises that get yearly releases constantly make small improvements to animations.
And let's say that Gamefreak can't include all pokemon in SwSh because it's too much work to retexture all pokemon at once. But if they retexture 300 old pokemon in SwSh, then why not retexture another 300 pokemon in the next game's release, then gen 9 can retexture the remainder of pokemon and they could include the whole national dex again. What is this bullshit of "it's too much work to ever include all pokemon again?"
