>>34358236>asset reuseI mean, yeah, they can reuse the concepts, but the actual assets, the 3D models and textures? Not a chance. Creating new ones from scratch would be easier than mashing old ones together. Pokemon designs aren't exactly modular.
>>34358239I couldn't find convenient numbers for just the first egg group, but the Field group has 233 Pokemon in it by itself.
>full combination makes that 27,028 unique fusions>ballparking 120 families is still 7,140>and that's just ONE egg groupEven something like the Human-Like group which has just 52 members still adds up to 1,326 with full combination or about 435 families.
It's just not feasible. It doesn't matter how you cut the problem up, 805 is just too huge a number to start multiplying against itself.
