I'll agree with that. I was excited to see it in gen VI and it turned out to be shit.

Shadow Force is cool until ANY of the three Pokemon that can use it fly out of the rift. I mean, it fits better for Giratina-O, but it still looks pretty bad. It's like a WHOOSH BOING kind of thing and it's just awful.

On a similar note, the punches are pretty boring. The elemental punches should have a giant fist made of fire/ice/electricity hit the opponent. Bullet Punch should have a bunch of little metal fists bombard the opponent. Meteor Mash should show a Metagross claw.

Instead they have that lame 2D hand they've always had,

Every multi-hit move that isn't Water Shuriken or Gear Grind looks like shit. Coincidentally, both of these are signature moves.

There's also way too many moves with delayed "damage" animations than should be acceptable (Draco Meteor and Superpower to name two)

Gear Grind's animation in gen V was the shit and I was so excited to see it in gen VI and then it wasn't that great.

Close Combat is pretty decent, it's a shame that the user of the attack just stays frozen until it finishes, though.

They could have added an attacking animation with Dig, instead a rift opens beneath and they fall through.

Power Whip got a similar treatment, and unlike Retaliate, Power Whip is readily recommendable to use outside 'use-ingame-to-see-animation.'

Brave Bird also had a cool animation.

I've been pretty disappointed by most every Fire type move. Ember is far more compelling than Fire Blast or Flare Blitz are.

They nerfed Petal Dance. There are no words to describe my despair.

Dragon Pulse's animation in X/Y disgusts me. Same goes for Bug Buzz.

I really thought Gen VI would pull out the stops for move animations but a lot of them were disappointing while some were surprising.

Example: Brave Bird has an awesome animation while Sky Attack disappoints me.

Love Water Shuriken and the fact that Greninja's attack animation matches with it. Also I kind of like Ice Beam's animation this Gen.

I miss the animation it had in Gen I games where a whole shower of flower petals covered the screen. I can't help but feel that Petal Dance should have had Sweet Scent's animation.

At least they pulled out all the stops for Yveltal's signature move.
