I don't even know what you are talking about with Sword and Shield. But I will gladly agree that it will likely be, at the least, lacking in its ability to be modern in any real way.

they aren't adding every Pokemon to the games because it's too much work to create new 3d models, despite the fact that the Pokemon they are adding are just imported models from the current 3ds games.

Ah, that thing.

Yeah, they have to make some new models for the actual new mons.

But yes. I don't care if there are a thousand of the things now. They should be wealthy enough by now to at least make the necessary modded models for their new attempt at a replacement for the Mega system.

Otherwise, DON'T DO IT. Seriously. Of all the ways they try to reboot it, they go with that, yes? And then decide, oh yeah, lets not bother with the older pokemon that are not in the current gen game itself. Its not like there are other ways we could make an attempt to innovate, right?

Its not like we could, oh, maybe make the battle animations more interesting? Like, just make some movement animations so that we get even a somewhat repetetive sequence of movements accompanying moves that at least sometimes look like something as decent as you'd see in the first anime? Not like they could actually try and make a really proper modern RPG worldscape either, right? Not like they could just finally fix their damn "4 moves only" system by at least changing it to "you can only EQUIP 4 moves for any given battle, but you still remember the other moves to experiment with at your leisure, or can swap any learned move out as you see fit. Oh, and allow HM moves out of battle as long as you have the HM itself and at least one pokemon with it, since that is ALWAYS annoying to deal with outside of the one or two that actually are also good combat moves."

Its quite... pathetic. That GameFreaks has somehow managed to innovate less than Dragon Quest. A series which literally makes it it's mission statement to remain a retro RPG. Is still more innovative in how much it improves things, than pokemon. Whose biggest innovation is a mobile phone app of questionable entertainment (but is at least substantially better at getting you to actually go out and move your legs to some extent).
