Without the importer working correctly, the conversion would have to be done manually, one by one for all 800ish gen 2-7 models.
My guess is that because the importer didn't work, they had to rip the models from their own games and do all the manual work most of the internet's model rippers have to do, which ended up making their work take x100 longer and whoever up top that calls the shots
Nintendo? TPC? IDK told GF and Creatures that they don't get any extra time to do it right, since the anime and merch train can't be stopped.
