>>39367676>all Pokemon have a sleeping and waking animation that could be used when they're put to sleep/wokenThat animation doesn't have any kind of transition to the sleeping form. Also, I imagine they don't wanna do that cause beating up a kitten with it's eyes closed is one thing, but beating on one that's all curled up in a cuddly sleep ball is just wrong.
>eating animation that could be used for berries in-battle or for making the wild area more aliveThat's actually a good idea and I don't see how that would have any issues. The berry would still just be in front of them so it could work. Not sure if it'd look good in the wild area though cause then they'd just be standing around chomping at air as if they're eating something.
>walking and running animations datamined from Ultra S/M could make the Pokemon walk up to each other to attackThat's just wasting time. Sure, it's cute and all, but it just drags things out after the hundreth time or so. Everyone jerks of BR for this stuff but they seem to be forgetting that game was kinda shit and took forever to play.
>sick animation for when afflicted by a status effectIt's not so much an animation as a different default face for most of them. Still certainly doable and doesn't interfere with anything.
>multiple different happy and sad animations could be used after beating an opponent or when at low healthThat does sound reasonable, but I think they don't do that one due to it kinda ruining the point of Refresh then. Like, if you got those happy/sad animations after regular battles, it diminishes the effect of them in refresh.
>all the perma-flying Pokemon like Xatu have models and animation for standing on the groundThe perma-flying thing is just a weird design choice GF really wants to stick with unfortunately.
>idle animations actually showing personalityI think that varies a lot on different pokemon. Some have really excellent in battle idles and some have pretty meh refresh idles.
