People complaining about Pokemon Stadium having better animations or that HGSS had follower Pokemon don't seem to understand that making unique and soulful animations for 150 Pokemon was much easier than doing it for nearly 1000 higher def models, and it's very easy to just slap a sprite behind the player and give it a bouncing animation for a walk cycle than actually making walk cycles for hundreds of mons.
GameFreak is never going to devote resources to these things because people will still play a bland version of the game without those elements that make it more appealing and give it more life.
