Having 'future proofed 3D models' doesn't really mean much. If it was that easy we'd see more games recycling content like that. Even the shitty WWE games constantly redo their wrestlers even if they look worse. They can't just click 'import from old game' and be ready to go. Making video games is difficult.

The biggest reason this game is this way it is because it's an annual series and there's like three different companies invested in this franchise to remain like that.

The Gen VII models were way higher definition than needed and then scaled down to be put into S&M. The entire idea being that it would save time on future generations of the series. Obviously it is more complicated than just dragging them over to the new game, but the idea was that it would save having to recreate the models everytime.

Regardless, I'm done being okay with Pokemon just winging it because it it is expected. You are right that it's an annual series and there are three different companies invested in it, that doesn't mean I have to be okay with or defend that. Mainline Pokemon coming to a home console should be a huge deal and have a game worthy of reflecting that.


I'm not defending it. Just saying that armchair analysis that they've done the work so it should be easy to bring them all back so they must all be lazy isn't really an accurate take at all.

I don't think Game Freak is lazy. I think they are just not particularly good at their jobs but refuse to bring in anymore talent. I mean the encryption/decryption fiasco alone should be evidence of that.
