If that was the case, the CP team would have had to: Not only will it take tens (tens if not hundreds or thousands) of thousands of hours to construct, but it would also require repeating this process whenever: This is also why:
 * 1) Go through every single game.
 * 2) Look at the possible penguin sprites in that game.
 * 3) Go through all items, and for each item design multiple sprites- each one matches a single sprite that exists in a single game (or perhaps in several games).
 * A new game is added.
 * A game is updated.
 * New clothing items are released.
 * Whenever your puffle performs a special action (e.g. taking a bath) his puffle hat would disappear.
 * This is also why the player card concept in the Beta Team is so similar to the original player card look- they want the current player card sprites of items to fit the concept look so they don't have to go through every item and change its player card sprite.
