Visuals are what people see. I don't care about the underlying tech. A game can be far more technically advanced and still look bland next to a game uses its art style and direction to better effect.

Yo-kai Watch 4 launching with 109 Yo-kai, more to be added through updates

I'm not going to comment on their rest of your post, but I am kinda curious as to how many of the Yo-kai are new.
That's not the point. The discussion wasn't about which game is nicer to look at, it was specifically about how the larger technological leap made this situation more understandable than the controversy surrounding Sword and Shield. Here's the post again:
It doesn't matter whether you prefer the way Pokemon looks for the sake of this discussion, what matters is which of the two is a bigger leap from a tech standpoint? And the answer is Yo-kai Watch 4.
That's still to be determined. They only announced 12 or so new ones via their regular updates iirc, but there could be more than that. Though technically they're all "new" in a way since all the models are remade from scratch and each Yokai is playable in real time with their own unique animations, and some having multiple playable forms.
EDIT: Also the 109 doesn't include the playable human characters. Touma and Akinori for example also have multiple forms as well. And of course many of the playable Yokai have both Shadowside and Lightside forms, so it's double for some.

they literally did that with ORAS and XY's postgame and it pissed people off. They got roped into buying the games only for them to not be complete experiences (at least in the case of XY, they never had an expectation. ORAS NEEDED the frontier or Tower and we got nothing but a copy of the XY maison with only one edit. I know I felt ripped off when I got to that part of the game)
If we cut out the color-swap yokai, the American ones and the historical ones, but we add in the new ones, that actually still leaves a good amount more than 109 yokai. Makes you wonder which ones will have to wait until later to be added.

We do know that Damona (swap of Blizzaria) and Goldenyan (swap of Robonyan) are in. The latter even being a giveaway in Coro Coro.
And it's likely Azure Dragon (swap of Dragon Lord) is in due to his importance in the story, assuming that the Azure Dragon of the original games and the Seiryu (his Japanese name) of Shadowside are the same being.
So yeah, pallete swaps are still around.

Wait.... did NLG not communicate more about this?
If yes, then, oh well.
I am for all pruning more characters in a game.
I can understand this with how the battle system works now at least. How many did the original Ni No Kuni have, since it's kind of comparable in terms of scale?
EDIT: A bit over 300, but there's 4 palette swaps of each, so... ~75. Seems about right.

Ooooh, so this doesn't include forms either.
You control all the monsters in this game in third-person, action-ish combat, so it's obviously a lot more work for each individual one. It's basically 100+ playable characters.
