>>47986983>I'm betting my ass they just minimize when they get hitWhy? That MAYBE would make sense for the red eye raging Pokemon, but you can see that many of the Pokemon don't have red eyes, don't have that red icon to the left of their name like the Ursaring here
>>47986745 does, AND, almost all of them are either at full HP, or are being seen in a context where the HP is irrelevant.
And actually, it doesn't even make sense for the raging Pokemon, because you can see that the Ursaring in the top image has full HP, but is still smaller than the one in the bottom image that has been injured.
Do you just have a pathological NEED to be as pessimistic as humanly possible, even in spite of lots of evidence to the contrary?
