Alolan Exeggutor would not have been possible in pixel art.

Pixel art is too much work. Designs like Hoopa-Unbound or Mega-Ray wouldn't fully shine in 2D unless Gamefreak are willing put as much effort as the Metal Slug developers. Which is never.

I yet wonder how did Metal Slug and Skullgirls artists put so much life into their sprite work.

How would a 2D Pokken clone look like?

That doesn't discount anon's first point though.

You make a high poly model, you can recycle it forever and just make a new animation here and there.

You make sprites, you just make idle animations for 750+ Pokemon and their regional forms each game. The scale of work is ridiculous each time.
