>>32264949Now here we have a Sun and Moon example of a pokemon slapping the shit out of another pokemon.
Right away you can tell there is IMPACT, with Steenee swinging her ENTIRE body into every swing with gusts of wing blowing out and the camera swinging back and forth to match her movement.
There is power behind her hits because every frame is a seperate drawing of full body movement to emphasize the arc of her slaps.
What's equally impressive here is that Steenee and Meowth each have different frame counts and are moving seperately from one another, with one doing the swinging and other reacting. This helps the scene feel more alive as both characters then feel like seperate living beings, rather than scripted choreographs.
Now imagine the two swapped with florges and Quagsire, with Florges slapping Quagsire back and forth and Quagsire looking to be in total bliss about it. The joke would still work, and in fact it'd be funnier because of the contrast between them would be even greater.
