WHY ARE THE POKEMON GO MODELS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THE 3DS MODELS???
WHY ARE YOU SUCH A COCK SUCKING FAGGOT OP.

1) They aren't, they're incredibly low-detail. They just look better because of the game's resolution. The actual models are way worse.
2) There are only 151 (I assume).
3) They have very few basic animations.

This.
But they look better because the 3ds is 240p trash, where most mobiles have a higher resolution.
>more powerful hardware
>higher-res screen
>more realistic lighting model, probably because cel shading would clash badly with the real world
>all you're rendering is the Pokemon itself
They might be the same models as the main games', but it's hard to tell for sure.

Pic related is what the same model (ripped from X/Y) looks like with a realistic shader and a cartoony one.

btw, how do you even rip them? And what format are they in?

I'm not sure. I got the model from http://www.models-resource.com/3ds/pokemonxy/ and they're in both FBX and DAE formats.
When I made a thread doing art style comparisons last year, some bro as fuck anon ripped models that people requested but weren't on the site. These are all OBJ format only. https://a.pomf.cat/qidjga.zip
They are confirmed the same models
Textures are better, shader compliments the textures.
Game Freak could easily make the current models look this good without even starting from scratch, but they prefer fullbright cell shading and flat textures. Don't ask me why.

it's to make them look more like the Sugimori art.

Cartoony one looks better
