Why did only these 3 get refreshed 3D models so far? Do you think all Pokemon should get a model update for Gen 10?

It wasn't just them, but it was probably just an excuse to show a few of the new models before gen 10 proper. Remember SV were covid games and their development schedule got royally fucked with by both the pandemic and Nintendo deciding to delay the switch 2.

Switch Pro being canned and the pandemic had a lot of impact on SV, but it doesn't quite excuse the models. The small changes to meshes doesn't require new hardware, and even if they spent time making a new set of enhanced models for pro/2, they can be scaled for s1. There's nothing about the Switch 1 that forced Charizard to have a dumb brow bone.

That being said, there is probably a scenario where they might withhold updated models for higher res games. If they felt the new models would be wasted on SV, they may have held back those changes for ZA or Gen 10. We know they do these rolling changes because the new Pikachu design has been around for years, and is only being implemented now as part of the anniversary celebration.

I really want to see the new Pikachu in motion. I feel like the default pose isn't giving round headachu justice and if done right it could look really expressive or dynamic like card attached
>>
>>58836111
The Kanto starters, Ho-oh, Lugia and Mewtwo were the ones I know got updated models for SV
>>58836281
There is Generations and Evolutions
>>
>>58836111
They didn't, Mewtwo was also updated and other pokemon got modifications too.
>>
>>58836111
The new Blastoise looks worse imo, less ready for battle.
Venusaur and Charizard look better though.

>>58836317
I think all models were slightly updated even if with just new textures/poses. You're right those are the most drastically changed ones though.
>>
>>58836361
Persian, Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the Machamp line did as well. I'm sure there are some others I'm either not aware of or forgetting too.
>>
>>58836387
>The new Blastoise looks worse imo, less ready for battle
I'll gladly take the idle animation looking less battle ready for it actually using its cannons to fire its water attacks
>>
>>58836428
Tyranitar.
There's a bunch, but I'm not remembering them. Lots of mons shed their 3DS models in Gen 9 and all of them got new textures.

yes but I'm hoping Game Freak's animation department knows what they're doing with their redesigned models
>>
>>58836111
They been Kenified.
>>
>>58836522
This matters more.
The models are largely fine, but what brings them to life are the animations.

>For SV their models got remade & transferred to ZA
>But not the Megas which is jarring
GAMEFREEEAAAK!!!
>>
>>58836598
I agree, but I think its only really an issue with Venusaur.

Charizard and Blastoise have much more proportional changes with their Megas (Zard X's arms a bit longer, hands a bigger, its legs have more defined thighs, slimmer body, etc...). So the worst part about them is that the poly count is noticeably lower if youre staring.
But with Venusaur, its Mega focuses almost entirely on the plant, its body stays nearly identical. Its really jarring.
>>
I'm glad they redid Ho-Oh and Lugia, they look so much better now.
>>
>>58836111
They haven't? Mewtwo, Persian, Ho-Oh, and Lugia also got updated in SV, and in Z-A Tyranitar ( and apparently Goodra too? I can't see it at a glance) also got touched up.
>>
>>58836591
Agreed.

People conflate "models" with "animations". Typhlosion's model looks pretty much perfect, it just had incredibly stale animations, that didn't let it show off its signature mane flames forever. A lot of attack animations are very limp, and dont have strong key frames, and a lot of assorted animations like fainting or idle poses are same-y and blend together. But thats not an issue with the model.
>>
They're the first generation, but also probably because people on the Internet kept crying about Charizard flying and Blastoise's cannons.
>>
>>58836719
you don’t play the games just like 99% of retards who bitch about the animations
>>
>>58836732
Incorrect, anon-chan. I, in fact, do play the games, hence my observations.

Care to illustrate the point you actually want to make, instead of vaguely gesturing?

>>58836111
>Venusaur model is updated
>Mega Venusaur model is not
They did a very good job, it shows they care
>>
>>58836111
>Why did only these 3 get refreshed 3D models so far?
didn't they remake Persian and Mewtwo too?
>Do you think all Pokemon should get a model update for Gen 10?
If they gave a shit about being coherent they should.

No, you don’t.

>anon has no fucking idea how good things were in Gen 1, 2, 3, and 4
Gen 6 animations were weak as shit and they still haven't gotten much better. You can complain about the length of the animations, but Stadium 1/2, Colosseum, XD, Battle Revolution all had far better animations than modern Pokemon. More character, more appropriate.
You're too young to remember.
>>
>>58836111
Many more pokemon got model updates, Like Persian, Poliwrath, Vulpix...
>>
>>58836751
Terrakion got a new model too, it doesnt look as derpy now

Vanilluxe's hair now moves, which I don't know it could do before
>>
>>58836767
>anon has no fucking idea how good things were when the pokemon had retardedly long looney tunes animations that bogged the game down and didn’t actually fit the pokemon at all, but made me clap like a retard when I watch clips of them on youtube
>>
>>58836784
nta but yeah those were pretty great. I loved using Nidoking, because of how wily it looked.

>"THEY DIDNT FIT BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!"

Reminder that the chief modelers and animators on Pokemon Stadium 0,1, and 2 worked directly with Gamefreak, meaning their vision was accurate.

Anon's underage, autistic position seems to be that because he doesn't like the older, more detailed, animations it means that they're not official or something.
It's difficult to see what his point beyond sperging out over what are clearly better animations than today.

Just
>>

>Why did only these 3 get refreshed 3D models so far?
Kanto favoritism
>Do you think all Pokemon should get a model update for Gen 10?
No, that's retarded. The entire point of making future proof models was so they could quickly port the older mons to the newer gens.
>>
>>58836111
None of these actually look better
Charizard’s wings look better but that’s it

>>58836751
This one actually is a drastic improvement though, I never liked Mewtwo’s XY model
>>
>>58837123
My opinion is yours, but the complete opposite.
>>
>>58836111
Blastoise definitely looks better, he looks like a confident, buff nigga and his model actually uses the canons this time
>>
>>58836111
There were a lot of mons that only had a texture for a mouth in XY that got fully modelled mouths since then.

>Do you think all Pokemon should get a model update for Gen 10?
Always appreciated but not necessary. Most mons have perfectly good models already. I'd rather more mons get their idle animations tweaked instead.
>>
>>58836924
thanks for admitting defeat
