>>41075526There is something similar happening to western cartoons, after the legends of the 50s dies most of their knowledge on squash and stretch was lost because no one took notes.
Its specially grating given that some of the greatest actually used real life examples to animate given the few information they left behind.
Some managed to imitate and reverse engineer Tom & Jerry animation techniques on impact but those are not being taught to new animators instead kept on the resume of the very few capable ones.
Something eerily similar is happening in Japan after the switch to digital where we see animation gurus, however given how hardcore the Fandom is animators and they techniques have been catalogued by sakuga enthusiasts so the knowledge isn't lost.
Nintendo is at potential risk of losing its talent if it doesn't breed it properly.
