>>34932208Sprites don't become magically easy to create just because graphics get better. It would be extremely hard to animate that many sprites and make them look good (they looked absolutely hideous in gen 5, with the limbs looking like they weren't even attached to the body a lot of the time), but once you make a model, animating it isn't too hard.
Models can look pretty good too, hopefully down the line the actually work on improving the shittier ones though
