Good
>5 seconds animation every time a pokemon faints
Good. They look cool, but for mainline games it would be a pain in the ass after a few hours.
>>26483556
Why does nobody ever mention that PBR didn't have any entrance animations what so ever? The Pokemon simply popped out of the ground, like a mushroom.
Fainting animations are >opinons, but I personally like the main series animations better because it makes the battles drag less.

I agree with the intro stuff. No games are perfect, unless you mix the elements of the games into one.

They could always change them to be faster or a bit randomized so that they aren't lingered on.

It's about giving each Pokémon animations that give it character, identity, and uniqueness.
>>26483762
This. Gen VI animations with personality and charm are too few and far between. Animate every Pokémon well and restore their true colors and the games would look perfect.
>>26483715
Don't some Pokemon have unique fainting animations in XY too? I can't think of particular ones but I know there are some where I want "well that was cute". Nor all Pokemon in these games had crazy fainting animations either. Probably not even most
>>26483556
Pocket Monsters is outdated, just fucking put the games on home consoles and be done with it.
>>26483796
>some Pokemon
That's the problem. Even then, compare Slowpoke and Slowbro's animations in Stadium to their Gen VI animations. They take a few seconds to realize they've fainted in Stadium, which is perfectly fitting and entertaining.

Nah
>>26483837
Pokemon will sell consoles.
>>26483824
But not literally every Pokemon has a cute little animation. There's just no time for a few seconds to realize it's fainted and stuff in main games.
>>26483831

That was haaard.
>>26483897
It's not about hard. It's about matching the pacing for the gameplay. We like the Stadium games because they offer a much more cinematic experience. The set up as a dedicated battling game allows this to happen. Things can spend more time doing things in battles becauae thr game IS the battles, which are normally just encounters to break up dialogue and exploration in main games. But the needs and standards of the main games are different than them.
>>26483846
GF are adamant about the core games staying handheld.
>>26483938
I know, that's why I'm upset.
>>26483960
I never even got this. Why did Jynx do that?
>>26483927
>It's about matching the pacing for the gameplay.
Your point? They could balance a good pace with cinematic spectacle, it would just require extra effort, which for modern Game Freak is unnacceptable. Worse yet, people will defend their bullshit no matter what.
>that one where togepi runs away crying before it gets sent back to the Pokeball
>>26483998
I explained how the spectacle works and suits Stadium games but aren't suited to the main games right in that post. Stadium games can dedicate more time in battles because the game is about the battles and is the primary focus. Battles in main games are meant to break up the adventure and as a mechanical conveyance of other features like gaining levela or acquiring Pokemon. It's only one aspect that popa up during the regular gameplay and has to be more streamlined because of it. Expecting the same deal out of them is unreasonable.l, though I'm not going to say impossible.
>>26483927
>pacing
Battle Scene: On / Off
>>26483965
It's a weave
>>26484028
They could let you select between "Simple" and "Cinematic" Battle Scenes, also >>26484035
That would be the best way to do it.
>>26484035
Having options is awesome, isn't it?
>>26483998
Defend what? That they didn't make pokemon dramatically faint in recent games?
Do you have time to be personally quirky every time something knocks you unconscious?
There's room for improvement with the animations, but this is just silly. It's like you're upset for the purpose of being upset.
I'd defend GF just because what they did with the models was okay at best and hopefully they'll improve. It's stupid to trash a company because it doesn't fit your particular standards of bullshittery.
>>26484248
>Defend what?
The general laziness in regards to the actual game, such as awful post-game and incomplete AI Pokémon movesets.
>Do you have time to be personally quirky every time something knocks you unconscious?
I pointed out that they could randomize the special fainting animations to have them happen occasionally.
>It's like you're upset for the purpose of being upset.
No, just disappointed.
>I'd defend GF just because what they did with the models was okay at best
>just because what they did with the models was okay at best
>okay at best
"Okay at best" isn't really worth defending when more could have easily been done.
>hopefully they'll improve
Yes, hopefully. But in all likelihood they won't ever touch the first 720 Pokémon's animations ever again and instead focus on the new Pokémon and Megas entirely.
>It's stupid to trash a company because it doesn't fit your particular standards of bullshittery.
Game Freak's standards are why I trash Game Freak. I just want them to step their game up from Missed Opportunities: The Gen.
>>26483927
But Colosseum and GoD are literally the best games in the series.
>>26483584
Oh no. They'll be taking away a few seconds out from your important, busy life!
>>26483556
>PimpSlickB
>>26484526
I wouldn't say best, but they're damn good. They are definitely the best in terms of story however. The biggest problem with them is the Physical/Special split not happening in Gen III.
I was severely disappointed when Cofagrigus lost his B/W battle animation (sarcophage opening and closing and hands appearing/disappearing. Now he just makes little moves.
>>26483556
Did they announce that they werent making one of these kinds of games again? Im very out of the loop.
>>26484590

They'll be wasting resources on a feature that will end up being plain annoying.
>>26484770
I literally just played Platinum, and I can say that the battles aren't nearly as slow as they're made out to be.
>>26484788
>Pokémon Crystal sprites literally have consistently better coloring than the Gen VI models
Now that's just sad.
>>26485111
>plain annoying
How are good animations annoying? Because battles would be over 10 seconds later?
>>26484760
Yeah, because Battle Revolution didn't sell tremendously well. The problem was how barebones the game was, but you know what companies attribute low sales numbers to.
>this 3D pokemon game isn't selling like hotcakes
>people just don't want this kind of game anymore
>>26485180
>How are good animations annoying? Because battles would be over 10 seconds later?
Exactly this. Battles are already slow. Anything that makes them slower isn't worth IMO.
>>26485310
>Battles are already slow.
No, not really. They only really slowed down in Diamond and Pearl actually, and Platinum improved that to make it bearable.

Did I just walk into a cringe thread? Are you seriously going to miss this?
>>26485737
Not Honchkrow's fault that neckbeards ruined the fedora in the eyes of autists.
Pokemon Stadium games were awesome cause the of the 2 rounds of difficulty plus the mini games which were fun as hell.
I think if fans were vocal enough then maybe Nintendo might consider making a 3rd
>>26485737
There's nothing wrong with a fedora tip.
Only losers let other losers ruin things for them.
>ITT: People actually defending laziness on a multi-million dollar company's part
>>26485837

Both of you are absolute faggots. Nobody "ruined" the fedora, and the only reason losers flocked to it is because it really is a terrible fucking hat.
I bet you idiots are wearing your trenchcoats right now.

>>26483556
Playing through Colosseum and XD made me realize that those animations lose their novelty pretty quickly.
Are there any other notable entrance/getting hit/fainting animations in Gen VI, besides mega entrances and Genesect unfolding itself entrance?
>>26486212
People probably aren't actively looking for them because they want to shit on Gen VI and because they go by so fast it's easy to miss them. Mr. Mime has a fancy fainting animation
>>26486052
BW animated sprites were great, fuck off
>>26486212
Most of the charm in XY animations are in the attacking animations (such as Hitmontop spinning and Typhlosion flaring up) rather than idle, which makes it harder to notice. This is then multiplied tenfold when you realize tons of people play Pokemon through PS and similar simulators, where theres only the boring idle animations.
>>26486294
No, they weren't. You fuck off.
>>26486052
>assblasted Sinnohfetuses STILL mad that people like BW more than their shitty gen
