>>44820466Ok, so let's stop for a moment and assume that they actually made the models from scratch, or that something like this actually took a large amount of time. Neither of these are true, but let's just assume for the moment
The whole reason of the 3DS generation having so many FPS drops and X/Y in particular being lower quality was because the models were higher quality than necessary. This is because they wanted them to be "future proof" which, considering almost no one complained about the models in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, worked out pretty well.
So even if you want to sit there and claim that, for some unknown reason, they touched up ALL the previous models after LGPE(Which they didn't), all you've proven is that Game Freak is incredibly wasteful and incompetent. On top of that, the cut Pokemon could have just used the X/Y models and literally no one would have complained.
It becomes even more blatantly obvious that Game Freak has lied when the animations are still worse than the N64/GCN/Wii titles of all things, the balancing has somehow gotten worse, and the world just looks bloody awful. It's fine if you like Pokemon so much that you're willing to settle, but at least be honest with yourself.
