also they aren't remaking the model's thats a loving lie lmao

That's what the news article said, but even someone in the comments said that they don't believe they're remaking the models from scratch

I mean, the models are already fairly smooth and detailed for fictional cartoon creatures, what more could they add to the models that would require "remaking them from scratch"? They just have to up-res the textures to make them look less like compressed 3DS textures

also people change their nicknames often on some servers and i dont want to keep track of that stuff so its easier to glance at an avatar

Discord should have a nickname system like Steam does, but for now, you can go into someone's profile and use the Notes to keep track of who is who

Why do companies give themselves or abide by time constraints anyway? Just finish the game, delay it if necessary even, the Animal Crossing devs certainly had no problem with delaying their game just to assure the best quality they could deliver, why can't Game Freak do the same?

Simple Machines Forum is the forum engine the Blockland Forums have been using for almost it's entire existence, and the blue layout disappeared when the forums were upgraded after a critical security flaw in the system was being exploited

Considering the quality of graphics in Pokémon Sword and Shield, it certainly would require considerable time to do that kind of work for every Pokémon.

Masuda: I was personally sad about this decision. Of course, had it been feasible, I would have liked to make it possible to bring every Pokémon into the game. However, this was a choice we needed to make sooner or later. In the end, we had to choose quality. (<-- lol)

Ohmori: Masuda and I discussed this issue a great deal. Even for Pokémon Sun and Moon, it was quite a difficult situation (to make it possible to bring every Pokémon into the game). Now that we are moving to the Nintendo Switch and remaking the models from scratch, we had to make some kind of choice. That said, despite the limitation on the Pokémon that can be brought into the game, the game's wild areas, story and other content is quite rich. I believe that players will understand that when they play the game.

I imagine getting hundreds and hundreds of 3D pokemon models on the 3DS was a difficult challenge at the time, but this is the Nintendo Switch now, if the 3DS game was able to squeeze in all of the Pokemon models and it's generation of new Pokemon models, then the far more capable Nintendo Switch should have no issue doing the same

And i don't know how true that "remaking the models from scratch" bit is...
