-Even if you're gonna have a low-poly tree, at least be fucked to have a good wood texture.
-If you're going to make an armored wolf-monster make a turn, at least make it turn like a wolf would instead of operate on tank control-like movement.
-Supposing you can't feasibly have every Pokémon to scale on the field, it couldn't hurt to TRY to maintain some modicum of that in battles
-Towns and caves are not the worse off compared to open areas, so we know there's some competence
-We've seen that some textures in SwSh are bloated, so it couldn't hurt to have some decent development documentation
I'm of the camp that Pokémon should modernize with current technology, so if they're fucking up with 3D, the solution shouldn't be "go back to 2D" because they were low-rent on 2D even back in the day. 3D is here and now, they have an opportunity to fix that.
