>>39000606A.) Gamefreak doesn't actually make their own models. Creatures Inc makes all the models for Gamefreak and they never complain about anything.
and B.) They're reusing all their models from 2013 still, anyway. And animations. All the animations are more or less confirmed the old ones, too. All the idles, the damage taking, damage dealing, etc etc. The walk cycles are just the animations hidden in the code for following that were found by data miners, but never used by GF.
I'm still surprised some people on here haven't seen this shit, yet.
