>>43941133Game Freak has been recycling the same models from X/Y and there hasn't been any major improvements to them since then. They put in way more effort pre-6 remaking all the sprites from the ground up. It's weird how despite being the most profitable media franchise in existence, they're still cutting corners by not even able to recycle their "future-proofed models."
And at least in Xenoblade's case, the focus isn't to add 1000+ monsters. You can see where their efforts were placed in the remakes. Additionally, weren't Pokemon cut for your so-called "high quality graphics?"
