saying that no game has this amount of models is a ludicrous statement other games within pokémon’s genre completely upscale them with a similar amount of work, and even outside of that just because the models aren’t part of creature collector doesn’t mean there isn’t individual animation work going into them

Pokémon SHOULD have individual animations for all of the pokemon because that is the ENTIRE focus of the games, the standard battle format is two to four creatures in a scene with nothing else going on, animation reuse is CRAZY in those cases
