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.

Yeah, I know some consider Game Freak lazy (even though I don't really see it), but I don't think they would be that lazy to just porting all 3DS assets into HD and call it a day.
