>>31322109Hey, you're right. Sorry about that, I got them mixed up.
Still, I want to make my point. Don't get me wrong, my "autistic screeching" was just hyperbole to express my irritation. The fact is, Toucannon is placed prominently in the game using that Z-Move. Yes it can be killed before it uses it but more often than not, everyone who plays the game is at some point going to see Toucannon catapulting into the air in a sitting position. It's not ideal. As I said, I myself work in animation, so if it was my own work it'd be something I'd feel shameful of because it's so noticeably peculiar.
On a side note, yes, Skarmory should be flying in the air - but not because of the Z-move; to convey that it's Flying type. Normally I wouldn't care about that kind of thing but while we're on it Gamefreak have been taking measures to "correct" mechanics in relation to animation - I'm talking about how Gengar lost Levitate because someone in the LAST gen decided to animate him standing on the ground. If we're going by that rule; fine, but they need to be consistent. ALL Flying Pokemon should not be making contact with the ground. ALL Levitate users should not be making contact with the ground. Finally, "floating in place with wings outstretched" does NOT suffice for a "good flying animation" unless that Pokemon has psychic fucking powers. Skarmory SHOULD be shown flying, but the animation it has right now is just pathetic. At least make birds like Skarmory and Swellow flap their fucking wings. Even BW got that shit right.
All I'm asking is for some quality control.
