>>46104754Please understand, anon. Game Freak are a small indie dev team, only 200 men strong. To expect them to do something on the level of Pokken Tournament, a game made by the AAA Dev Team at Bamco, it was a once in a lifetime game that could only ever be made once, truly a lightning in a bottle moment of Pokemon.
All kidding aside though, Battle Revolution had a tech demo that showed off battle damage, it likely would have been in if Battle Revolution had more time in the oven, but it ultimately had a pittance of dev time. With Gale of Darkness coming out August 2005 in Japan and PBR coming out December 2006 it's a marvel the game looks as good as it does desu.
