Dang, Gamefreak actually have to remake every single Pokémon model they wanna use in SwSh because they didn't transfer right? Does that mean all the 'mons in PikaVee were freshly made, too? Also I hadn't even considered Dynamax needing more detailed models, that's a good point.

Honestly as someone who hasn't seriously played anything past second gen, I couldn't care less either way but hoo boy have people been asshats about it

@noiob my understanding is that they are using old models, the 3ds ones are waaay better than it could actually render, specifically for the purposes of futureproofing

(i'm still excited for the new games though)

@monorail @noiob

As a side note, going back in history, they worked so hard on Gen 3 that Masuda was hospitalised for a while, from what I've heard.

@giantessgnostic @monorail yeah, and they're still a small company considering they're literally making games based on the world's biggest franchise
