Are you seriously telling me after having the most popular franchise of all time they seriously never considered at any point to design the games around reusing code to make less work for themselves in the future? They could have a simple battle system coded to be built around future installments being painless and hassle-free to add new additions to, be it Pokemon, new gimmicks, or whatever the fuck, and yet after all of these fucking years they still struggle with basic optimization, retaining new features, and now the Pokemon themselves?
If they used their literally infinite supply of money they could hire the smartest programmers in the industry to invent something like this so they could actually focus on Stadium-tier animations for every single new addition to the roster, since all of the hard work would already be done for years and years to come. People whine about graphics too much nowadays, that's true, but in a franchise like Pokemon there is NO EXCUSE for it to be as choppy as it is.
