I love all of XY's battles, but here are some small improvements I would make to the gyms:
Grant:
- rock polish should have Onix spin around, sort of coiling, shaking the ground and making a bunch of dust and shit. then his rocks shimmer a bit.
- the matrix iron tail should have had more momentum. it just sort of stops abruptly.
- the water pulse to the face should have made that naruto bubble first, like in the sylveon fight.
- pikachu and tyrunt should have paused in the air for a sec and spun when they tailed each other. it sort of looked like they crashed head on.
Korrina:
- lucario should have been hit by static. i know he was immobilized for the last thunderbolt because pikachu broke his fucking arm, and was bouncing back after slamming him with an electro ball, but static would have been more coherent.
- the aura sphere electro ball clash should have had more of an after-effect, instead of just immediately cutting to thunderbolt.
- the aura sphere pikachu deflected should have hit the wall behind ash.
Ramos:
- more explicit hints at Protean. i know it's implied, but it could have been more clear that using aerial ace allowed frogadier to use an aerial double team.
- last water pulse seemed a bit stiff.
Clemont:
- some debris on the ground after pikachu destroys it with iron tail.
- hawlucha bracing his leg before HJK. i buy that he's fast as shit, just like the games, but it seemed a bit too sudden. just a second of him adjusting or stomping his foot would work.
- more clear indication that bide wasn't avoidable. maybe even the giant beam reflected in clemont's glasses.
- a more impactful final hit before bide is released. swift pelleting goodra is what made bide seem abrupt.
thoughts?
