>>25314753>First, your note of saying the battle frontier is a waste cuts both ways (why add it in a rehash? Kids won't appreciate it. Right?)Not that a frontier is the only form of content, however they have much more time to actually produce new additional content in the potential third game over an entirely new gen where they have to create new assets for the world, pokemon, characters etc, etc.
There's not enough time in the development cycle to add additional content. Especially considering that the initial models and textures take a while to make.
Reusing the assets from Gen 6 games would just present the same issue of laziness people are complaining about now and nothing would be solved in the slightest, the hate from gen 6 would just move to Gen 7.
Oh and don't forget about the framedrops caused by the massive polycount of the models so to rectify those issues they would have to put a significant amount of work into the pokemon models they've already done.
>Second, you are comparing B/W's entirely redone dexAbout that, it's not big mystery that a lot of Black and White's Pokemon were inspired by previous works in the series.
On top of that there were a lot of fairly simple designs reminiscent of the older "fire horse" designs. Just look at Pokemon like Zebstrika a zebra with a basic electric motif and as much, as I love it, the Darmanitan line, a cartoon ape with fire eyebrows and a blue daruma form. Cryogonal is just a snowflake with an angry face too. You can tell that a lot of Generation 5 pokemon.
>which were all brand newWhich is wrong mind you, a lot were just reused from Gen 4 and were crudely animated.
>to gen 7 being able to literally copy/paste everythingYou just don't get it do you, that doesn't rectify the issues people have with the current models in fact adding extra animations to them would lower the frame rate even more. They need a lot of work done on them for them to be acceptable lest we end up with a repeat of gen 6.
