[@denbacoe6476]

For any of the Pokemon's models between Generations 1 and 2, they're a reuse of the models and animations of Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 which was under Nintendo's development rather than a third party like Genius Sonority. Even when Battle Revolution was made all the models were the corresponding Pokemon's model from Stadium, Stadium 2, Colosseum, and presumably XD but I don't remember off the top of my head if that had anything new

[@alexmaxwell3708]

There's so many missed opportunities that it takes a lot of work for graphics and animations of many pokemon. Thus we can't get pulseman new game or something else

[@Luniel11]

Because in Pokemon lore, there is no Ñ In the Paldea region. It's based off the real world region figuratively. But in lore they have a totally different pokémon alphabet that does not use a tilde on the letters. Even the unown themselves represents strange hydroglyphics, people in the pokémon world don't know what English letters look like. Even if you disregard that fact, the unown were found in the Japanese region, so it already starts off inconsistent.

[@Lspectaculoos]

Something that comes to mind is Unown are described as normally being fixed & unmoving on walls. But look at how huge they are. Imagine looking at a wall & seeing dozens of these things, each with a single eye staring back, let alone having to read a message comprised of arrangements them.

Half as much. But still, the animations were there back then. These, I believe, were by Hal Laboratory, who first introduced Gen 1 and Gen 2 to the 3D realm back in Pokémon Stadium. Then Genius Sonority ported them over to the Game Cube and Wii games. All they had to do was to invest a little bit of time to port them over to the 3DS. They easily animated the 2D sprites for all Pokémon as of Gen 5 using 3D animations techniques. They just became lazy over time.
