But this is what confuses me the most, the engine they built for gen 4 already uses 3d for environments. Why rebuild everything from scratch if what they already had works? And a completely new engine just to throw away in a very short few years when starting work on x/y.This is likely the case, as they wanted to go full 3D. They tested things out and must not have liked the results, so they decided to make the game 2.5D like the DS titles but with more emphasis on the 3D parts.
There is no way that the source for d/p is so fucked up that they had to rewrite the engine and the gen 4 engine should be capable of doing whatever they were doing in gen 5. Really does make no sense to me.
