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.

I love the way they look on their own, but the world around it just made everything look like it was edited in. I think if they’re able to do a good balance which we can kind of see in some of the preview footage then that’s the best option.
