>>36644370>Pokemon battles are the heart of the game. All gameplay revolves around Pokemon battles.Yes and no, battles are the main gameplay, the heart of the game is pokemon themselves, for they're what makes the game different from other RPGs, and has such giving them good animations to interact with them not only in battle is an important thing.
>It is on the battle screen that we should be able to see the expressions of a Pokemon. A Blastoise should have water cannon animations. A Bulbasaur should actually use its vines to attack. A Hitmonlee should extend its leg for a kick.But it does.
>Models should be fluid, not rigid. Take the Marshtomp example - it needs more movement and flex. Take Xatu - it should have a standing and flying animation, like most birds. Simple things that would make a huge differenceYeah, like i said, the only problem are the IDDLE animations, everything else is fine and actually gives much more information than the sprites will ever do.
