Legitimately why are battles so needlessly slow? I don't know how anyone plays these games without speedup

For me it's never about the battle speed the first time.
I genuinely like the animations
Even after the 5th battle it's so cool to see the unique animations for different moves and pokemons
And then the 10th battle
The 20th battle
It's tiring
I turn it off
The 50th battle is just mindless
The 75th battle I'm just mashing the a button without even looking at the screen
It goes on and on the same 4 things over and over and over

That is the part that is bad, the endless repetition. There is no cure in mainline pokemon

It is really bad, yeah. I am an oldfag who grew up playing JRPGs including Pokemon, but I feel like more modern Pokemon battles are actually slower than the Gameboy ones. Like, I think it was SwSh I was playing, and there is so much fucking shit that happens on your turn. Like you have leftovers and friendship procs and the attacks and panning around. It's really bad.

I don't smoke weed anymore, but I kinda feel like you'd have to be stoned out of your mind to enjoy a modern Pokemon game at 1x speed.

I literally grew up playing Pokemon on GBC. My attention span is fine and I agree with you
Look at how fast and snappy battles are in other turn based jrpgs are. Then look at Pokemon
It's a fucking queue based narration system for every weather effect and status change. All with both a text box AND THEN an animation to play. It's fucking psycho shit in current year

What other turn-based games drag out the turn by pausing for five seconds to draw needless attention to every single minute detail, one by one?
This is where I'd post the Anger Shell webm if I had it on hand.

Because GF insists on separating every single element and telling you about it individually as it happens.

It's the amount of needless text that pop ups when mons do anything AND the lack of dynamism in battle

Just an example from the top of my head, multi hit attacks still do that in Scarlet/Violet
You can replace Minccino and Seismitoad/Wtaer Gem with anything else and the problem would persist: Pokémon battles lack dynamism even to this day

I mean I forgot that Gems are technically not in Gen 6 onward outside of the Normal Gem so, in this case, you have to assume we are playing BW/BW2 for the example to work
But you get the idea, you could compress all those animations/text pop ups to make battles feel less tedious

They did editing magic to make this tolerable back during an old trailer in an effort to make battles actually look fun. It makes no sense why this can't be how it normally is
https://youtu.be/22fAJ6Iy_80?t=66
They even cut out the "Blissey fainted" because you can SEE THE POKEMON RUN OUT OF HP. This isn't the gameboy anymore, they can explain blissey fainting as she gets recalled, there's no need for all these pauses

gen 5 isn’t any faster than the gens after it, sagefag

also nice job being so assblasted and defensive that you attacked your own team

PLA remedied this somewhat with seamless battles and snappy animations. Getting into and out of a battle didn't feel like a slog.

Nah, FF9's only problem is the attack animation length. When it comes to actually relaying battle information to the player it's still much more efficient than Pokemon ever has been.

Pretty much, kinda wish that GF implemented a "blazing fast" text speed that pretty much just plays the animations without the text (like SMT for example) AND have an in-game battle log with all that happened during the turn
(like in Duel Links/Master Duel)
>>57852529
Under any other circumstance Minccino would OH-OK but without Items and EVs with a Neutral nature for both sides this would be the outcome (Lvl 50 btw)
0 Atk Minccino Bullet Seed (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Seismitoad: 160-200 (88.8 - 111.1%) -- approx. 27.3% chance to OHKO

A really not-so-well-thought-out example desu

I need an awesome button. One click and battle is over. In fact the games are too slow and waste my time, I wish there was a button that just instantly won the game so I could stop playing it as soon as possible.
