>>35649171They based the models on the original Sugimori art, probably for the sake of consistency. Vibrant colors work better for sprites than for 3D models anyway, a lot of Pokemon would stand out like sore thumbs using their sprite colors. That being said most of them look a lot better with those colors, it's something I'd definitely like to see changed. Hopefully it's something that'll be addressed while they're updating the textures for the models.
