>>53214830FRLG, HGSS, and ORAS were not reimaginings, they were the same grids running on new engines. Even LGPE was the same grid but running on a Gen 7 engine. When you’re porting a 2D grid to a 3D grid you have a very easy and translatable framework, when you’re porting a 2D grid into open world you have to start from scratch, which again, is why BDSP is a grid-based game and Legends is open world.
>>53215288Yeah, no. The 3D models in Sinnoh’s engine are only designed to be viewed from the flat angles they’re shown in game, 99% of them don’t have backsides, it is miles less complex and less adaptable to 3D than FF7 compared to FF7R. Kalos and Alola WERE grids too you fucking retard, BDSP *IS* Kalos styled. Are the Chibi graphics really that mindfucking that retards now have no perception of how the games run anymore? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, I’m arguing with a bunch of children here. The original versions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova will NEVER be open world, anybody with half a brain could grasp this, it is absolutely insane that there are (presumable) adults living (presumably) alone who (presumably) take care of themselves that need it explained to them why Diamond and Pearl couldn’t just be “reimagined” into an open world game. Christ, I bet you faggots also think that crossbreeding Pokemon is a viable gimmick and are dumbfounded that GF hasn’t done it yet?
