>>53512565Do you have any evidence to back it up? For example, my evidence comes mostly from this analysis
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/cgh8fy/long_post_warning_an_actual_technical_analysis_of/This isn't just a change to how a lighting system works, this is a change to how they even load the damn things. Furthermore, given how troubled SM's development was, it would be really fucking weird for the team to have to make the island trials during the debugging phase if Gen 6 and 7 are really on the same engine. I'm sure there's a lot of shared code, if only because it's a 3DS game at the end of the day and Pokemon data structures have been relatively similar for a while now, but even then that's changed at least a bit between Gen 6 and 7.
Speaking of, do you happen to know how similar Legends and SV's engines are? And if they're still using Lunchpack and Nintendo's SDK? I know for a fact BDSP is a rushjob made in fucking Unity, which I don't think should be an argument for anything because holy shit there's so much wrong with it in general.
