And the new Fang attacks are even worse. Sometimes the Pokémon doesn't even use its real mouth; instead, a mouth of light appears, or the Karate Chop where an imaginary hand appears in the air. It worked in the games because of their limitations, but the anime has the ability to not be bound by those limitations. What a disappointment.
