Don't ever expect dynamic movements/attacks on any upcoming game in your lifetime. The fact is, all models are futureproofed with absurd numbers or polygons. This makes creating new animations i.e. manipulating all these polygons, very time consuming. And since GF is already lazy and incompetent... this goes double.
Unless it's a 3rd party, enjoy these shitty effortless amimatioms... or rather, enjoy your ugly out of place vine whip tentacles copypasted for every Pokemon that uses it (etc). Those types of attacks are much easier to insert.
Until you die, you will be receiving the exact same game every gen. Forget dynamic movements like Pokemon circling each other as they battle, forget unique moves corresponding to a specific body part of a Pokemon.
Just, forget it.
