>>39648577>The animations in the post you pointed are recycled from gen7, so they're objectively not better than gen 7Excuse me, but where is there a recycled animation in the OP? Team Yell so far have had all unique animations.
>And just look at this shitYou mean Pokepelago 2.0? Last time they literally just moved box sprites around, so yeah, this is clearly an improvement.
It's a quick and incredibly generic cutscene (generic as in, it's made so every single pokemon can use it) used when they're going off to a job. You don't need high detail turning or anything in something like that, though they actually made a fantastic animation for the PC on both them leaving and coming back.
And you're ignoring all the progress that they made with giving characters better expressions and letting Pokemon have more dynamic animations for their idles/fidgets/attacks like Scorbunny's great idle or Zigzagoon's adorable physical attack where he actually zigzags.
This game has objectively better animation than anything from the past games. It's just "not good enough" by your standards cause of the dex cut.
