>>26542818I forgot about the Amie animations. Yeah I wish they put more of the animations into the pokedex, if possible. I like seeing all the attack animations in the ORAS pokedex, but still most of them just look very basic. It can be better but I think a large problem is that there's just so many pokemon at this point, it's probably really time consuming. If there's one animation I would add, it's an entrance animation where pokemon strike a unique pose once they enter into battle.
Yeah personally I never found pokemon sprites to be particularly good. The poses I thought were fine, but in terms of actual pixel art it's still very basic. Gen V had some of the best looking sprites to me, but I hated the "animation" in those games. I would love to see a pokemon game with animations for different actions in pixel art style, but where the artists actually animate the sprites by hand.
