Expecting them to maintain and renew all Pokemon for every game is too much when they could spend that effort making new content instead. I think the haters are way overblowing things. They can reuse assets. They have reused assets. I would agree with you but it's more complicated than that. Every new generation means new assets for every Pokemon (though megas and gigantamax Pokemon only need battle animations afaik) and there's more to it than assets, for example if you put all Pokemon data in the game then you are obligated to make them all catchable in a generation, which means all Pokemon need to be added in somewhere in the games and all 70 legendary and mythical Pokemon need ways to be caught (which means wasting dev time on another crappy boring portal sidequest which undermines their mysticism anyway). Reusing assets isn't always possible either without adjustments. We don't know how the games are yet so we'll have to wait and see if it was worth it. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:929822221] in Apparently...
