>>389164531) those games were literally made for the sole purpose of introducing oldmons back in the R/S era due to fan backlash from game freak doing literally the exact same thing they did today (maybe game freak will outsource to genius sonority again and we can actually have some fucking animation in 3d games again)
2) they werent game freak titles (see above) and everyone was honestly impressed with what they accomplished with such limited experience, resources, and dev time
3) you could still trade every single pokemon onto them and they had animations and everything
Find another argument protip you fucking cant because you know this is dick in beehive retarded
