>>39275723Why does it matter if it's a 5 second faint animation when you are only seeing it once for every pokemon you battle?
Besides, take a look at this and see how they balance the long animations with something so simple as displaying the text at the same time as the action is happening.

On the contrary, in SS there's a significant delay for these exact same steps, the pokemon gets hit and displays the hit animation, HP starts decreasing and when it's done, it says if it was SE or not SE. And that's not even mentioning the noticeable delay between choosing an attack and the Pokemon carrying our the order.
You CAN have long, high quality animations and STILL have a fast paced battle, but you need a competent Dev for that I guess.
