>>35976475I don't understand this. Of course X & Y's 3D map work is going to need more people than ORAS's.
The leap from 2D to 3D would have required more people supervising, and once the map assets were done they could easily be added onto the new Hoenn since it uses XY's engine. Besides, the Hoenn map already existed from 10+ years ago and there was barely anything more to add whereas Kalos was completely new at the time.
