I respect the effort they put into the animating though, how they had to separate the sprites into a bunch of parts and tween them, and some of the sprite animations seem to have more effort put into them like this where it's more like traditional animation and less just tweening parts of the pokemon:
>>55227703 (even though it still kinda looks like shit when the eyes just start flashing in the same spot. I know what effect they were going for but they did it shittily, the eyes shouldn't have just blinked in the same spot over and over when it's spinning at top speed)
but it still looks like shit because the sprites are so low res then enlarged and they rotated the pixels. so i'm sorry but it just looks like shit even though there was clearly effort put in. crystal's animations were better than this because they drew each frame of animation. emerald also rotated the sprites but it looked better because it also had frames that were redrawn and when it rotated it was rotating the whole sprite, not different parts of the sprite. so it's less jarring when the whole thing is being rotated because you don't have pixels rotating in all different directions which is just fucktarded and God damn looks like shit. basically they tried and failed with BW battle animations.
