>>36398111>>36398112You know damn well they're gonna reuse the same animations for gen VIII. It's one of the easier cost cutting measures they can take.
That said, just because Masuda says it's only the original 151 being "featured", which IIRC is the wording used, doesn't mean the rest aren't in. Remember, Gamefreak likes to pretend they can surprise us and gets real fucking butthurt when their games get datamined before release. They probably think they have a chance of catching us off guard with the first Switch release. What I mean is, they might be leaving anything after 151 as a postgame surprise.
I fucking hope so, at least. LGPE will be worthless to me if it can't give and receive Pokemon to and from other mainline games.
