>>38704250>Pokemon Masters is clearly built in the current game engine they also use for Sword and ShieldI highly doubt that. Developing a game engine for making cross platform games is much more work than building those two games independently.
Especially when Sword&Shield is being made for the switch, which has much more memory and power than phones do. With phones you never really do live cutscenes, you just pre-film everything, and layer the action shots on top of another. The reason they do that is because of spec constraints.
Also this isn't even being made by GameFreak.
Nothing is stopping them from re-using the models though.
