Ok? Still not "bad reviews"
Ok? Still not "bad reviews"
I sometimes wonder if these gamefreak defenders have actually played games outside of pokemon.
I'm not going to say the complaint's wouldn't have shown up but the OP set the tone of this being a gotcha thread. It was doomed from the start.
There are ways you can improve the animations without going the Colosseum route (updating the game's idle poses and having more keyframed canned attack animations is a start).I have seen people compare the battle animations to that of Colosseum's, but I personally feel like that would not be too fun in game? A regular Pokemon game has so many battles through trainers and wild encounters. If most of the animations were like Colosseum's, I feel like each battle would take far too long, and it would be kind of obnoxious (at least in my opinion).
This one is particularly great because with just a half a second animation, it sets up the entire personality of a Pokémon:
I mean, when threads are started the way this one is, it's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, isn't it? The threads about playing the game or trading are fine, it's just threads like this one.
Yup, it sucks, because I'd like to use camp but I know I'd hate it if that stuff started happening.I've used the camp feature a grand total of one time because I had to evolve my Eevee. I'm just afraid that my Pokémon are going to start to randomly evade attacks and heal themselves, which is something that has seriously hampered my enjoyment of previous games with the interaction feature.
Does this still happen in Sw/Sh?
So not every thread then.
It reviewed well, but not amazingly. And it's the lowest rated new generation.

The exception that proves the rule

If it would've ended the same regardless of the tone, why be so confrontational in the OP in the first place?You know it would have ended the same regardless f the tone. Opening a positive thread about the game is a recipe for disaster

This, it always bug me since XY that each pokemon has a unique sleeping animation in pokemon Amie, but when during battle they don't even used them, but instead just shut their eyes close.One of the bigger complaints is that many of the animations that ARE good are relegated to the Pokémon friendship minigame when they could of been used outside of them in battle for status ailments such as poison, sleep, swagger,

I will never understand the amount of time and effort some people spend trying to shit on other people's joy.
This. I'm not sure why everything has to be like "wow, haha, got you toxic fanbase!" I've played through the game and every criticism or fear I had pre-release has come true. Bad pacing, not great animations in battles, lack of difficulty, unpolished visuals in the wild area, frame drops constantly when playing online, like it's literally a slide show, etc. I still think the game is a solid 5 or 6 out of 10, but I constantly feel like my criticisms aren't valid because people are always like "SEE PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING IT, PEOPLE WERE OVERREACTING" when this is one of the most unremarkable Pokemon games I've ever played lol
No. People are pointing out that the animations are reused. They're doing this because improving the animations and overall presentation was the reason given to excuse the cut content.
Well to be fair resetera is basically the first church of nintendo and any minor criticisms must be hand waved.I meam, that's not what's happening. If this was just a thread about the gifs, it would have been fine. But OP had to try and twist it into a lame "gotcha".
I dont think people are tweeting these because they are elaborate high quality animations... they are tweeting them because they are funny / memeable? The first one is just a sheep rolling around.

The game is already very easy, and that would just make it easier.
They could have options for animation speed, like in Fire Emblem. The main slowness with battles isn't even animations, it's the separate prompts for every little action/confirmation. Especially if you have an ability that causes an auto effect on the opponent.That being said I agree in general; the whole "Stadium" type battle animations suited those games but in general I can never imagine doing wild encounters when animations are as lengthy as those are.
The "thing" is updating overly simplistic reused animations. Obviously not everything looks bad, but some of them stand out as being noticeably simple, especially compared to the newer ones. It's like "power creep", but for animations.
Animations can be funny, cute and technically unimpressive at the same time.They're funny and cute because of the work put into them. That's the point of the thing.
The Belda argument has made it to this thread - we are done here folks.Well to be fair resetera is basically the first church of nintendo and any minor criticisms must be hand waved.

That's one of my issues that seems to be hand waved. A lot of these new features have existed in some capacity before, but was more full featured then, but no one seems to care when this is brought up because "Fun", which seems to end every argumentRemember how HGSS had a bunch of unique dialouge based on where you were and what Pokemon was following you.
