Yes, they were.

Gamefreak used remaking pokemon models and doing better animations as the excuse to answer why where pokemon being cut off the game.

What we saw in the trailers were the same models and animations from the 3DS and when the game released it was instantly datamined proving the models where the same from Sun and Moon.

So yes, they lied.

When the issue first arose, Masuda said that they cut Pokémon because there was in general too many and they wanted high quality animations. The first par is subjective, but a lot of moves has way better animations and models in general move way better. Also, let’s not act like tweeks didn’t have to be made to the models at all for stuff like the overworld

Just as a counterpoint to some of the cherry picking going on.  Some of the models and animations at least are clearly far better than what was found on the 3DS.  Obviously not every single animation is going to be a priority.  For example, when they show double kick in the video posted earlier.  Obviously a weak move that few people are actually going to use that often is not going to be a priority, whereas signature moves for the starters and legendaries were.

And there are some comparisons between the game and Let's Go.  My little brother bought the game for me, and it's downloading, so I'll have the chance to see for myself, but basically it looks like an incremental upgrade from Let's Go... which is about what I think ought to be expected?  I mean, there's an argument to be made that the graphics for the series weren't that good to begin with, but if you've been ok with them till now, I honestly can't see how this entry is anything egregious.  Just kind of seems to me like people are upset about the cut Pokemon so they're looking for other things to attack.
