>>55050269>yawnfag lacks such an imagination that he actually believes that, in canon, wild pokemon are politely waiting for the trainer to yell commands and take turns hitting each other,You know, that actually tracks with the preference for models over sprites. The benefit for sprites is that you can get away with less clear information. Things like scale and distance can be more easily faked and let the user just imagine the coolest option.
But if you lack that ability, all your left with is uncertainty, so the models with their more clear information, even if its more boring, can be preferential to the unclarity.
