>>49421830>moments in the game, 2D and 3D, when they shrink down and disappearThat's only for wild pokemon faints in 3D games because it's the easiest way to remove a 3D model from the screen. Trainer Pokemon faints don't do that and always use a pokeball return animation to remove the model from the screen. It's a technical thing and would as retarded to use as evidence for an argument as using Toucannon's lack of a flying animation as evidence that it doesn't need wings to fly would be. Please find any example of a wild Pokemon in the anime or any other media fainting and shrinking down in the same manner.
