>>39123906You know, thinking back to the Wingull issue, I just realized something. Game Freak sucks at creating turning animations and their serpent Pokémon are usually stuck in one pose while moving. If you've ever had a Dragonair follow you in Let's Go, it's very apparent how odd it looks for it to never curve its body. Instead, no matter what twists or turns you go through, it's as straight as a pencil.
Because of this, I'm thinking that this Steelix will cause another uproar when we actually see its turning animation when you whistle to it. It will look even worse than it does on Wingull for this 30-foot long flying snake to turn its entire stiff-as-a-pencil body around to face you in less than a split-second.
