>>37857103>We aren't playing 2D pokemon games anymoreYes but it's still clearly a cartoony stylized game so it makes sense to have that sort of style, also you need to consider how many punching moves there are out there and how many Pokemon use them, in both cases they'd need differenciate all of them and make sure they blend well with each Pokemon (even for something like fucking Shrooming and Ghastly) that's something completely on another level compared to say making Blastoise use its cannons
Just make the Pokemon make do a more flashy dynamic animations instead of making it stand in place that's all they need to do, besides there are punching moves animations there aren't just Pngs flying across the screen pic related
