>>55048126Good point, it actually isn't. But it could be with more competent animation.
I just don't understand why they don't get the cartoon animators involved with the game designers now and combine the content creators a bit more.
You can make anime games look very close to anime nowadays. You should check out the simpsons hit and run mod where they make it look like the cartoon.

Hell you can look even at games like Fire Emblem or Genshin and they look so much better than games did 10 years ago when the lines and colouring was all wrong in games still. Though they've kinda made steps in the game series recently, they could make the game look near identical to the animation now. That would get massive attention if they nailed the look of the game to make it look near anime like.
Plus people want a properly polished pokemon game after the lack of polish with the last game. It could give them an excuse to downsize the game while upping the quality and polish.
Plus to the many that were unhappy with the lack of polish, overcoming such a challenge would hugely redeem the game corp.
