>>26808254eh, personally I don't think they look awful, since I actually like gliding flights
and the flight thing is most likely to do with sky battles
and yes the status screen is relevant, you know why?
the status screen removes a lot of the animation - they don't show the various in-between and idle the mons have (like Pangoro's knuckle crunching), and stuff like pokemon release and faint
- they don't show the context, like Ferroseed
>>26808259my gripe mainly is that people think it's just standing there, when in fact Ferroseed actually buries itself, and it actually makes sense that it doesn't move unlike in Gen V
