>>39649876High detail turning is not needed yes, but they should at least make is do that it doesn't look like your Pokemon teleport themselves, while your character and Rotomi are actually well animated
Look at morpeko and corviknight again and you'll understand that a fix is needed
Trainers actually had expressions in gen6
Also the "magnificent" double kick animation is still there and hasn't been improved at all
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that at least 50% of the animations are better than the old games (or acceptable) but there's still incredibly shitty bits like the your and the rival's turning animation in the OP where they turn around themselves like beyblade toys coming straight from gen7, pelago 2.0 animation, charizard max move coming from its shoulders, gigantamax drednaw clipping through the ground,
>>39638376, the nessa animation where her bracelet clips through her, dynamax arcanine's head clipping through it's body, wingull t-posing in the air, and so on
If they promise quality animations to redeem themselves for the dex cut, most of the animations should be good like the excellent zigzagoon animation you posted, some would be only be acceptable as it's impossible to have maximum quality everywhere obviously, but only a SMALL amount of them would sit in the uber shit tier like the ones I described above
