They're devs behind the games of the highest grossing media franchise in the entire world, the only remotely valid reason they may have for not being able to make high quality games is if TPC has them by throat. And we don't even know if that's the case or not, and if it is all that shows the upper management is disgustingly bad and needs to be addressed.
And before you say that they're a small company, which yeah they are, but they have options. They can hire new employees, if training for that would take too long, they can outsource help to other studios. There's really no excuse how lazy the animations are at this point, ESPECIALLY since they decided to use them as one of the excuses as to why they're cutting Pokemon. Don't say you're eliminating content for "high quality and fidelity animations" when they're the same ones we had in S/M, just upscaled.
