>>20199144Hm.. I feel like
>>20199098 hit on something about why that is-
As in, the animation was a lot more, best to say available, for character rather than the stiff sprites in the games. You would see Miror B dancing or Lovrina throwing a fit during battle, whereas in handheld titles sometimes you'd see the sprite come in and say "Gr, I won't lose like this!" or something.
XY seemed to have a bit more oomph in terms of some animations
cue Lysandre at the end there but it could still be widely improved. Looking as the ORAS trailers it looks like Maxie/Archie (Archie in particular) will have a bit more of that.
Maybe the admins in the handheld games will finally get more personality too? I don't feel they're intimidating at all.
I agree with everything posted here, haha. Double Battles also did have some cruel strategies to face against- Rain Dance/Thunder, etc.
