They change up the models in every game? You can't really see fur or scales in this one like you could with SV.

Its not as obvious as it was when they were pixel sprites, but probably because re-doing every model for every pokemon would suddenly be 90% of the development time compared to some pixel pngs.

they change the models occasionally, but not every game. ZA uses SV's models but with different textures plus less realistic materials. What it does add is a ton of new animations though

though that's still an improvement over SwSh where pretty sure it still had XY's textures just uncompressed

Spriting can be just as harder or harder than modeling in some instances

yeah but for pokemon the sprites were mostly either static or (during gen 5) tweened, it was mostly the gen 5 mons that had some frame by frame animation, while the other mons were mostly tweens.
