Hey I'm just saying my theory is probably completely correct.
Also why would luclin have made a difference? I'm talking about the original vanilla models that launched with the boxed retail game in 1999 (aka the ones you're supposed to use on p99), before they even knew they were gonna make the first expansion much less the 3rd.

For a live service game you are generally planning things out in advance. There was only a 2.5ish year gap between the release of classic and Luclin.
The development team will know what the road map to Luclin is long before it actually comes out. Back then we were in the graphics wars, where every game wanted to look more and more realistic. I wouldn't be surprised at all if graphics improvements were being planned from the start. If they knew they were going to update the character models in the near future anyway, they would de-prioritize maintaining the existing models that are going to get replaced.
