>>38315371>3DS>Barely handle 3D modelsYou're retarded. It's not that the 3DS can barely handle 3D models, it's that the 3D models used for Pokemon have ridiculously high polygon counts for the 3DS, They've been straight up reusing the same models since XY, and that includes in other games like Go and LGPE, although textures were probably altered since the 3DS models still have textures made for fucking 240p.
Still not sure if it was retarded or smart of Gamefreak to do this. On the one hand it makes battles run like shit, but on the other it means they don't have to waste time re-modeling the older Pokemon every new gen. Too bad they did exactly that with SM for overworld models that largely went unused. Guess that tips it more towards the "retarded" end.
