3rd Gen hints for future games

[poddish]

I believe that nintendo has been dropping hints for the graphics in later pokemon games lately

examples:
look closely at the poke center/mart in r/s/e,
it looks like a non 3d version of the same building in d/p

look at the trees you can cut in r/s/e,
they look similar to the viridain forest trees infr/lg

in fr/lg if you look at the summary for a pokemon it jumps,
in emerald (and later games) the pokemon move when you look at their summary/ send them out

It could also mean that they got lazy and just updated older graphics though...

I'm putting my money on the second option: they weren't leaving any "hints", they just reused the older graphics for the new games.

hints are possible, but i dont think nintendo thinks ahead that way

That's like speculating that Master Chief's armoured suit in Halo means he'll be wearing an armoured suit in Halo 2.

*facepalm*

Nothing but re-used textures, my friend; common in any game series with lazy texture artists, or it could just be that they prioritise these things because they have to finish game X before deadline date Y.
