Why do purist fags oppose so much realism in Pokemon when it would give maximum immersion similar to the Detective Pikachu movie? Actually seeing the Pokemon as animals living in our world, yes using Unreal Engine 4.
Just imagine Monster Hunter, another franchise with weird creatures but realistic graphics. It's fun to go around seeing animals interacting in the wild, running away from you, minding their own business in the trees, lightning up the place at night...
Imagine all the Caterpies and Beedrills covering the place. Hearing heavy footsteps and taking cover because an Aggron is nearby looking to crush people. It's so so cool and I don't know why wouldn't you take it, you gays.
