>>56465479I don't mind Pokemon having a default stance for things like Camps or walking around, but I think many of them should have unique idle animations when they're in battle to showcase that they're in "battle mode". Not all of them need it. Crobat's idle animation of him flapping wildly is fine, for example. You also have things like Staryu or Magnemite lines who are very rigid and don't need to be posed dynamically. There are some Pokemon whose idle animations are fun enough that they work, such as Falinks.
But like, if Squirtle had the default standing pose and his battle idle animation was something like pic related where he just leans back and forth, that would be enough.
