Reminder that the Pokemon already have standing animations for Pokemon-Amie, so the flying animations are a stylistic choice (why would a Pokemon that can fly stand on the ground while battling) and not a matter of them being too lazy to make a separate animation for Sky Battles.

Just should have had them flap their wings.
It makes no sense to have them gliding while stationary.

It looks like they're gliding through the air at high speeds but they aren't moving. It's just dumb looking.

I don't understand why they did it correctly for some Pokemon like Charizard.

Gliding in place is a bad stylistic choice, anon. They're not even flapping their wings, it looks like hanging from strings.

And the thing is, some flying types DO stand (Starly, Taillow, etc.) or flap their wings (Pidgeot, Staravia). There is absolutely no excuse for it. Stop defending this retarded shit.

Which is what the player is seeing, which is what ultimately matters.
If you want to go with that angle, have flying Pokémon fly in a circle around the centre of the arena, with the camera following them, when not attacking. Having them float in place when they look decidedly silly doing that is bad design.

No it hasn't. Gen 1-4 had static sprites. Even in the 3D spinoffs, Pokémon like Xatu and Skarmory were always on the ground.

That's like having Magnezone just lay on the ground, that ruins the point of their design, they're supposed to look like they're gliding because they both fly like jets, and jets don't flap their wings.

Magnezone is fine floating in the air. Salamence and Skarmory do not look fine floating in the air. They shouldn't be flapping their wings, they should just be on the fucking ground, like people have been telling you this entire thread.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIV_AKN0V5U (couldn't find a standalone video of just Salamence, skip to ~2:00)

Both of these look noticeably better than Gen 6's floating animations.

Actually Salamence's attack animation is almost exactly like that in the Colosseum games and it looks good. It's on all fours for its idle animation though.

>>27021258
It can fly but that doesn't mean it should always be flying in-game. It's inspired by the crane, a bird that's commonly depicted on the ground.

If I remember correctly Skarmory is on the ground for the majority of the first PMD special, too.
