Why would they do this?
>They already have the models for all the pokemon.
>They never cared about power creep in the past, and even if they did they could retcon base stats for pokemon if they wanted.
>There doesn't appear to be any new stats or mechanics that would clash with old games (and with Dynamax you can just increase the model size easily).
>They don't need a National Dex (they coped with SM/USUM just fine with a regional dex).
So why? Have they changed movesets? Have they deleted moves? Deleted abilities? Have they a special mini game where they couldn't be bothered making new models/animations for all pokemon?
