The models look low poly, I would fully expect the Switch to be a huge jump over that in terms of model complexity.

Everything upscaled on the PC tends to look better, even Nintendo 64/Playstation 1 games.

Even if the models aren't just downscaled for 3DS, I would think they could still just update the models, they wouldn't have to make completely new ones from scratch saving them loads of time n effort. Plus come on, rebooting the series just so you don't have to deal with 800+ pokemon models is quite the lazy excuse.

The 3DS models / assets are unusable.

If Nintendo / Game Freak wants to have anything resembling a quality product, everything will need to be redone.
Animations.
Models.
Textures.
Sounds.
AI.
Nothing in the 3DS titles is even close to being adequate for a console release.
