And they all had to be made from scratch, because the models themselves are different from the generation 3 games on the Gamecube, obviously. Gen 4 ends with Arceus who's number is 493. Gen 5 and onward feels like a huge amount of models more that would need to be added if they did a game like this, which is the only argument I could see for someone thinking it would be unreasonable to expect this kind of quality from Pokemon games. But from gen 5 onward the total number of Pokemon only got up to 890. That's only a difference of 397 Pokemon.
They made 493 decent 3D Pokemon models with really good animations and environments like 13 years ago, and it seems unreasonable for them to do that with ALL Pokemon. Except...that there's been less Pokemon added to the dex in the time since this game was made than the total number of Pokemon when this game was made. I just feel like something about this seems almost unforgivable.
