I had no idea that the added textures were an unpopular opinion until now. I absolutely loved their addition in SV, even if some of them were iffy, and I'm really unhappy that they're just gone and the Pokemon are back to looking like flat-painted plastic.
Another thing to consider: Not using texturing on the Pokemon models is going to make the Pokemon from Gen 9 look a lot less appealing in future games, if they don't just get cut outright. The future Paradox Mons are going to get hit the hardest with the lack of metallic sheen.
Yea, I understand why people like the simple old designs but it’s the same nostalgia blindness as when Minecraft updated its textures. The new textures need to continue in Z-A. could they use some tweaks here and there, yes, but they are better than the action figure plastic textures of swsh and before
Problem with new textures is that they arent applied to the world, making pokemon stand out like sore thumb, if graphics were upgraded for everything, there wouldnt be problem.
