Once again, fucking Battle Revolution on the fucking Wii, nearly a decade ago, did better battle animations than this new game by Game Freak proper.
They’re STILL doing the lame crap of Pokémon just doing an animation and causing an attack to happen 5 feet away from them.

>complaining about graphics
I’m complaining about animations not graphics.
Yeah graphics don’t matter that’s why Pokemon should just be a text adventure
How many fucking pokemon are there? Like 800 now? You try animating all that shit.
Pokemon will never change untill a game flops
I might actually buy it if that was the case
They do this to speed up battles
This but unironically.
If only there was a way to turn off animations...
I wish Pokemon had it's own sub-section on Yea Forums.
we will not get better animation until they decide to break backward compatibility. There are more than 800 pokemons now. National dex was a mistake.
>Posting on Resetera
Battle revolution had over 400. Just reuse those and make new ones for the other 400. Surely doing the SAME amount of work 10 years later on a stronger platform should be possible
>that completely flat ground
does gamefreak have no dignity?
They can even make good animations for regional pokedex and keep current ones for pokemon from other gens.
Harvey Beaks was such a good show
>Being on ResetERA to know this was posted on ResetERA
Good way to make a boring game even more boring
>You try animating all that shit.
I won't, but a billion dollar franchise sure as fuck should.
Hell Colosseum had better move and battle animations in 2003.
Models are improved but the coloring clashes with the overworld.
Touché
Gives me a Chowder feel. I liked it.
>They’re STILL doing the lame crap of Pokémon just doing an animation and causing an attack to happen 5 feet away from them
This has always been the case

>graphics and animation are the same thing
>having worse animations than an N64 game is acceptable
It's not a billion dollar franchise because of the games, it's a billion dollar franchise because they've got nearly a thousand cute characters to make merchandise for.
The live action movie will reel in more money than Pokemon sword/shield ever could.
>Meanwhile Yo-kai Watch has an entire semi-action sub-game built into it where you can play as every single befriendable Yokai
>implying a kid as young as you even know what an N64 game looks like
>everything's still washed out as fuck
fucking gamefreak
>You try animating all that shit.
It wouldn't be difficult, especially given all the resources GF has. Just make body specific animations for each body type of pokemon and apply them as they fit. You don't need unique animations for every single move for every pokemon.
>I want to see an animation of the pokémon slowly walking over to the other side of the battlefield each time they attack!
Good job outing yourself who doesn't actually play the games. Turns take too long as it is.
>It's not a billion dollar franchise because of the games, it's a billion dollar because of the characters in the games
>ad hominem
Like clockwork. Let me guess next you'll say something about me being "reddit."
The games themselves don't matter. Stacy doesn't care about the games, she thinks pikachu is cute so she buys a pikachu phone case.
>animation
>shows a static image
>5th gen babies trying to pretend they aren't children themselves
Fuck off xXxsephirothxXx96
Fuck the animations, why do they keep using these ultra compressed sound effects? Shit sound slike it's coming straight out of a goddamn Gameboy speaker
Fucking this, when did Pokefags become style over substance? The games would become even more slow and tedious with all those long ass animations thrown in. Zoomers need to get out
>Good job outing yourself who doesn't actually play the games. Turns take too long as it is.
Hmmmmm. Maybe its like they should change the way the game plays and make it more like the anime where the Pokemon have their own wills and can act on their own and you just give orders to them as the battle plays out in real time.
When Game Freak stopped caring about postgame to focus on style and story but fucked those up.
They streamlined animations because no one wants to watch the same long, overly detailed attack loop every battle.
In many RPGs there are even skip buttons to skip over long animation attacks which get used when you see the long ass animation for the 5th time in the same battle.
The games are what keeps the series relevant. That's like saying the star wars movies don't matter because they sell a lot of toys.
Or just skip the walking part and show instantly each pokemons hurting each other face to face ? There's a lot of better options than the trash we're getting
This. Skipping battle animations should be standard for all RPGs. I can't believe autists on here are bitching animations are simplified in Pokemon now. They really think watching the same drawn out fucking surf animation over and over is a good thing for already slow and tedious battles.
How about being able to press a button to skip or fast forward animations?
Same creator
Yeah why should a billion dollwr franchise hire more people to make their product good when they can do the bare minimum instead
>Put in a bunch of work for things people can skip.
Trust me. The animation is great the first time, and on the 10th random encounter, it's fucking horrible. Even letting it start and then having to skip it over and over is awful.
The earth is flat you dingus
How about just emulating and playing Pokemon sped up like all the other retards if you want them to add highly detailed, long animations, but then just want them to be sped up.
You guys make no fucking sense.
So turn animations off if you don't want it.
God forbid a fucking multi billion dollar company put in some work.
This shit looks so bad I honestly can't believe its real.
>Battle Revolution
That has the same fucking animations you stupid nigger.
Use a bite move or a Psychic type move or a Water type move or a Fire type move or a Grass type move. They’re all the same as this. You just THINK it’s better because SOME physical attacks have the Pokémon shuffling a few feet, not even visibly approaching the other Pokémon, and then a hit occurring.
>Develop intensive, graphic heavy animations and then let me turn them off.
>Btw, the guy I'm battling against has his animations off but mine are on. He has to wait for my animations to finish on my screen before we can continue the fight.
>What a great idea in this dueling RPG.
Guess what, you dumb nigger? That doesn't work if you're in multiplayer or dueling someone. Battle animations are forced on.
I don't want long ass tedious animations forced on to fight competitively.
Fuck you and fuck your time wasting flashy effects.
This desu
Graphics don't mean shit it's all about the experience babyyyy
There's a bigger problem with this image
It basically confirms another generation of horribly broken single battles where you take turns pressing A until the other team is dead
Double battles can't come to the mainline games fast enough
Try imagining any other turn based JRPG (most of which have more depth per character) where you only play one character at a time fighting other single characters
Maybe Game Freak should be less shit and make off the default in multiplayer or let you play only with people with the same setting.
Wow it's almost like it's a Pokemon game
I think the problem with Zelda is temples, and the problem with Tetris is blocks. They should change that.
Also Mario still jumps in 2019? This confirms horribly broken single A taps to jump. Why would a game series keep it's playstyle?
Time to boycott.
>when did Pokefags become style over substance?
Since forever considering that this franchise has 0 substance and it's still a glorified rock paper scissors? Lmao if they aren't investing in content or gameplay they could at least try to make this crap look decent.
Or, maybe, instead of wanting to tack on a few minutes to each battle to watch the SAME FUCKING ANIMATION OVER AND OVER AND OVER ALL DAY, you should get less autism and realize long animations are fucking horrible.
Rain of Swords is great.
Once.
Dragon Quest?
BRO JUST TURN THE GRAPHICS OFF ALL YOU NEED ARE MENUS AND TEXT
Correct.
The current animations are horrible anyway. They should already have the option to skip them without turning them off entirely.
C'mon, if we had Battle Revolution's animations you'd be complaining about how every battle takes about 5-10 minutes, you may not remember it well because BR was 10 years ago, but those animations were quite long for a Pokémon game.
If you were to have to watch all those animations every battle for about 30 hours you'd turn them off half-way through the game.
BRO JUST DEVELOP GRAPHICS FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THEN LET US TURN IT OFF LMAO
and also if the game was open world everyone would shit on it for the same reasons they do BOTW
There's literally no pleasing people
The universe is flat.*
It's it deformation that is volumetrically proportional to its relative celerity
VIDEOgames
Well you clearly didn't spend that time or money on something worthwhile.
>I want turn based Role Playing Games (also named menu simulators) to just have text on the screen
Based
That game also has
>151 Pokemon
>absolutely no gameplay outside of the actual battles
>less polygons and less smooth
Stop ignoring other factors that obviously take away from the defense. Game Freak would literally take years to do special animations for every single Pokemon in the franchise and you'd still complain.
What's worse, the fact that pokécucks are justifying the lack of decent animations from a billion dollars company or the fact that they think that this shit gameplay is good enough to justify the lack of decent visuals?
Just like the Digimon world games?
No thanks, I enjoyed Digimon World Next Order for what it was, a Digimon raising game, but the battles got annoying and stressful more times than I wanted.
you could play pokemon with text only. probably would be more fun honestly
>They streamlined animations because no one wants to watch the same long, overly detailed attack loop every battle.
Then why the fuck did they invent Z-moves?
one time attack per battle
>There's a lot of better options than the trash we're getting
And your proposal isn't one of them, people will instantly complain about "muh immersion" and how odd it looks watching the mon teleporting from one side of the stage to another.
If transitions to fights are fast and the framerate is consistent then I'm fine with the game looking rough. My issue is that it basically seems to be the same shit we got with sun and moon.
Not if you put a modicum of thought into things
>Remove text -> attack -> text format
>Text appears at the instance of attack
>Running up is always a dash with wind up -> lunge -> strike rather than showing a run cycle animation. This takes under a second to convey the movement. Faster than the current double kick animation that requires the Pokemon to turn around and hop twice.
>Health bar drops as soon as impact is made
>Any additional text appears as soon as impact is made
There I fixed battles in Pokémon. Stop defending shit presentation as though presentation isn't a major factor in one's enjoyment of an RPG.
You know you could still have animations be both quick and elaborate, right?
what the fuck is that ground supposed to be? looks lower res than most ps1/n64 textures
No one's asking for long animations. But if Pikachu uses Double Kick, it should at least make a basic kicking motion, not just have the model bounce up and down.
this game actually has animations, unlike the 3ds titles.
You can still just have pokemon do cool quick animations based on physical/special/punch/kick moves. They even did it with a few pokemon already in the 3DS era. The problem is that there's still a lot of effort not put into a lot of them, especially flying types.
You people seem to forget, battle revolution was nothing more than battling so they didn't have shit loads of other gameplay and world to worry about.
There are already some battle animations like that, the most basic example is Tackle, and people are still bitching.
Reminder that even Pokemon on PS1 has real attack animations youtu.be
>That game also has 151 Pokemon
So has Lets Go, but they still have garbage animations, worse than any previously home console pokemon game ever.
So what's the excuse for lets go? It only had 150 pokemon. How come other rpgs can create unique animations for characters and enemies? Why does game freak get a pass just because it's pokemon?
It's literally exactly what I expected. Sun/Moon type baby shit again with the now-Switch-iconic 'washed out' graphics.
Their idle animations and attack animations don't correspond to each other. They are independent from one another. This is student-level game design from the most profitable multi-media franchise on the planet.
>Complains about animations
>Posts a png not gif
Kids are fucking retarded these days
it's still better than the models just moving up and down for each attack like in the 3ds games
Please god don't give us more levitating flying types
>not wanting floating tampon whale
shiggydiggy my dood
draqu is the most bog standard jrpg mechanics in existence.
there's no gimmick to it at all
Why doesn't Nintendo take full control of the development side of things and cut cost by firing around 70% of the GF staff outside of the essential people?
Quite frankly, I don't think turn-based RPGs benefit from extravagant/elaborate animations to begin with.
>attacking one point out of three reasonable ones I gave
Awesome.
>How come other rpgs can create unique animations for characters and enemies?
Other RPGs don't have 807 creatures to handle (even more with the upcoming gen) + several different moves they each have
isn't there an option to skip them in pokemon i remember on gba it had that option, haven't played since.
