Scarlet and Violet gets rid of that because it needs to have a free camera, and because of that a lot of the moves feel weaker even if they're almost the same
I honestly dislike the free camera during battles, do you guys really enjoy moving the camera around during a battle?
Even action games where having a camera is a must tend to have special attacks where they fix the camera for two seconds because that way the move looks cooler, while the weaker attacks you tend to spam don't
