Re: Pokémon's Junichi Masuda Explains The Decision To Limit Sword And Shield's Pokédex

Okay, let's think about this.

If there are 800+ pokemon (let's even round it up to 1,000 with the new ones!), and this is..... y'know.....a POKEMON game, you would think that getting all of the POKEMON in there would be priority #1, right?

So, let's say it takes an artist a FULL DAY to model and rig ONE Pokemon from ALREADY EXISTING DESIGNS/3D MODELS (they could probably do a handful as professional artists, but let's just say 1), and let's also say Gamefreak has 20 artists (they probably have WAY more), so.........

If they all worked on the freaking POKEMON IN THEIR POKEMON GAME, every day for, like, two months, they'd all have their "higher quality models and animations", and they'd be COMPLETELY DONE with them. And the reality is that they could probably do it much faster! They definitely have more than 20 artists who can do more than one thing in a day, and they've had like two years, so.......?
