>>38917034My guess is that these animations were used to test how pokemon would appear in the Wild Area since there are pokemon just aimlessly wandering about and some that will either run at or away from you like we saw at during the treehouse stream. The only ones that ended up getting used were gen 1 mons and even then some of their animations were changed. So if you think about it a possible scenario would be that during USUM development they were already messing with Wild Areas in Sword and Shield
