>>38829176>The triangle count on some of the pokemon models are comparable to protagonist models from PS4 / Xbone games.Which is part of the problem. Those models are too detailed for 3DS games and certainly to detailed for the 800x240 3DS screen.
There are ways to downscale the LOD of models without deforming the shape and it works wonders, especially at small resolutions. That's what every racing game does when cars are far away from the player.
Yet Game Freak insists on using the highly-detailed models even though the console struggles to even render Moltres on screen. A double battle with 4 Moltres and a weather condition makes the framerate drop below 5 at points. It's absurd.
