I don't think the thing is that the mon necessarily has too much detail or is too complex, but that it wasn't necessarily designed with "having all of its detail being visible on a sprite" in mind, like most Pokemon were.
As much shit as we give them, Game Freak and their design team are professional designers, and I'm sure the tweak the hell out of Pokemon as necessary to make sure the level of detail and such is distributed and such so that it looks good in the game.
While I do love Crucibelle, I probably wouldn't say it looks perfectly like a "real" Pokemon.
