>>45826555>>neither of these have over 600 unique creatures to model, texture, rig, animate and testGame Freak does not make the models, they are made by Creatures Inc.
Creatures Inc provides models for all Pokémon products that need them, from mainline games to arcade games, even the commercials for the Trading Card Game.
Game Freak does not even adapt those models to the game. That's why you have models with higher poly count than fucking Lightning from FFXIII on a 3DS, which obviously makes the game lag as crazy.
ANY experienced developer, like Game Freak allegedly is, would AT LEAST use an auto tool to reduce model complexity so the game doesn't chug.
ANY experienced developer wouldn't have the same model several times in the game's files (the infamous thousand Lillies, or having 2 models for each Pokémon, one for normal and another for Shiny instead of having a mesh with 2 textures or a mesh with 1 texture and a palette swap shader or something).
ANY experienced developer wouldn't use models as an excuse for under-delivering for the last 10 years and 3 generations.
If anything, models make things way easier, and even more if you have them handled and don't even have to make them.
Game Freak are hacks, and it's time you wake up and see it. It's a real shame that this franchise will never escape from being in hands of the laziest developers in the industry. Meanwhile, we have great developers like Monolith selling an infinitesimal fraction of whatever Game Freak shits yearly.
