i imagine making fully animated models for over 700 creatures AND all the attacks would take an insane amount of time and funding.

That's a stupid excuse to not make a video game. The people who make Pokemon games are financially stable enough to make a game like this. With enough time something like this should very much be created.

Skyrim has numerous models. I don't know about 700, but its a lot. And the world is defiantly just as big as Kanto if not bigger. and they could just remake the old games to start with, so they would only need 150-151 models at first

Just curious but have you ever looked at Fallout/Skyrim basically any bethesda game's construction kit (or geck for fallout)? Its pretty amazing just how little is actually there and how much they can do with it. Never heard of far cry, don't know who made it so I can't really say anything about it but if its by bethesda I'd assume it falls under the same as fallout/etc.

you know mass effect? think how many unique moving models that game uses, the main characters that move are all human based shapes and from watching the how they made it dvd they said that adding even 1 more non human shaped model with animations would take so much time and money it was not worth it...

now imagine doing that for over 700....

Assuming Nintendo made this game, 700 models are no big deal. Models aren't the problem in games, it's the amount of polygons per creature, and the space their textures take up. Assuming quality of pokemon similar to the one in the picture there, even a mobile game could handle a simple battle simulation of that quality, and a full console based AAA game title could easily incorporate the entire pokemon universe.

skyrim in fact has very little 3d models. The game itself is surprisingly small. Also they have way less than 700 creatures, but I still think a game like this would be reasonable in todays times.

i see what you mean but for each pokemon to be programmed they would need very little coding, just animations, model, texture and all the different attacks...
that would still take a really really long time to do well and after that you have to make the whole game world, the trainers, the cities...

this game would cost incredible amounts to make.
