>>40311008Yes, it's so much better they focus on humans and story no one was or should be playing Pokémon for. Who needs pocket monsters in their game about the monsters in their pocket?
Their problem is fucking with graphics and characters/story no one should give a shit about.
You know how many times DQ XI re-uses the same basic character model for both human NPCs and monsters they recolor? Or animations for waving or beckoning?
Yeah, I don't either because I don't give a fuck about anything that isn't a main character like the Pokémon are or the gameplay/content.
I'm pretty sure Trunks is in there with like 18 different hair colors and 18 is in there with like 13 of them too and it doesn't fucking matter.
Re-using stuff isn't a problem. In fact, it's how most of the major devs operate but Game Freak starts friom scratch each time instead of just stopping and taking the time to make an engine they can re-use. Nothing major needs to change. Literally all they need is a new region and new Pokémon.
That is all that matters from a game and, most importantly, merch perspective.
