>>39944402>Pokémon width isn’t a statistic kept.they already have pokedex heights, and as far as I know the models are already scaled appropriately to match that, they're just resized by the engine during battles
>gamefreak is notoriously not great at optimizing.you can argue every point away with that, but it is likely the main reason walking pokemon aren't a thing
the hardest part, animating all the pokemon, is already done
>It also doesn’t solve the camera issues (there are some pretty meme-y instances of clipping into a pokemon’s geometry especially in double battles), variable Pokémon speed compared to your run speed, and potentially clipping into level geometry. Part of my irritation at LGPE is its lack of polish, where Pokémon that “follow” in front have janky turns and slingshot into terrain.yeah, but most of those could be fixed with polish, it's not like they don't have the budget to do so, they just don't want to do it
also some of the clipping into the ground could be fixed/mitigated with inverse kinematics, but that might be harder with pokemon like onix, but you could likely hide that a bit with particle effects as it slides across the ground
>>39944448I didn't know that, damn that's impressive
