3D Games then
>Animations are tied to the type of move they are, so Punch moves use hands, Kick moves use feet, etc.
>Most Pokemon have more than three animations, for attacks, specials, and their types
>Some flying types had a grounded and a flying state in their animation
>at least in PBR, Pokemon would go up to the enemy and attack them
>You could still see Pokemon in the air if they used Bounce or Fly
3D Games now
>Kicks and Punches don't matter to the animation because you're gonna see punching when you use Double Kick or a kick when Body Slam is used
>limited animations, three animations max if they don't have a signature move that gives a unique animation
>flying types have two types of flying animations and one of them is never used for whatever reason
>the animations for physical moves are just 3D versions of the 2D sprites attacking
>all flying pokemon are just gone
