But they have so many different pokemon each with varied stylistic choices. Correctly applying the right texture to each is really up to the competency of the design team, which has already proven to fuck things up time and time again.
Lucario here shows how slapping on textures makes this look like a poor PS2 game. You see short fur texture applied to the fur tufts on his back, giving this weird impression that they are literal fuzzy spikes rather than longer tufts of fur. I suspect the objectmons will look great with these textures but this will clash with the cartoony elements and animal/human shaped pokemon.
Also, removing the cell shading has severly diminished visibility of details, like the mouth seen in pic.
