>>41449096>WAAAAH THEY SAID THEY WONT MAKE CUTS THEY LIEDthat interview was in gen 5 back when they were still on 2D sprites, you fucking mong. If they were still 2D they could have 2000 without an issue but 3D actually takes an exponentially greater amount of effort. No 3D game on the planet has 1000+ individual creatures with various different forms and animations. Walk into a studio and tell them to make a game in 2 years like that and they'll throw you out.
>BUT THEY FUTURE PROOFED THEIR MODELSYeah, they could potentially have gotten away with having the full dex in this gen. But they would need to cut the dex eventually for the day they want to add another new feature that would require them to animate every single mon again.
