I'm mad
Reminder that the Pokemon already have standing animations for Pokemon-Amie, so the flying animations are a stylistic choice (why would a Pokemon that can fly stand on the ground while battling) and not a matter of them being too lazy to make a separate animation for Sky Battles.
>>27019200
I dont understand why this is such a big deal, its the same pokemon who cares?
>>27019239
>why would a Pokemon that can fly stand on the ground while battling
Dunno, ask someone else.
Just should have had them flap their wings.
It makes no sense to have them gliding while stationary.
It looks like they're gliding through the air at high speeds but they aren't moving. It's just dumb looking.
I don't understand why they did it correctly for some Pokemon like Charizard.
>>27019291
>it was different when i was young
>CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK ;-;
>>27019200
I don't care about this.
>>27019200
Me too, OP. Me too.
>>27019200
Reminder that complaining about the "floating" is stupid because people are not stationary in battle and that's only what's being seen in the game.
>>27020663
Salamence would look extra retarded flapping it's wings because Salamence's wings are retarded by design.
I wouldn't mind flying in-battle, if most of the pokemon didn't look like they were just gliding in place. Flapping wings makes a big difference.
>>27020807
"Most of the Pokemon"? There are like 7 gliders out of 93 flying types, tops.
Why do these hovering models make so many on /vp/ (and only on /vp/) act like retards?
>>27020828
Why is having an opinion retarded?
Fuck off.
>>27019239
>>27020686
Gliding in place is a bad stylistic choice, anon. They're not even flapping their wings, it looks like hanging from strings.
And the thing is, some flying types DO stand (Starly, Taillow, etc.) or flap their wings (Pidgeot, Staravia). There is absolutely no excuse for it. Stop defending this retarded shit.
>>27020686
Anon, don't be stupid. Some pokemon look fine in flight, like fearow or pidgeoto.
Skarmory, tropius Xatu, that sort of shit looks terrible.
>>27020822
funny how most of the terrible flying animations belong to gliders then huh
>>27020828
Because they look shitty.
>>27019200
It does look goofy, but the amount of autistic anger people have over this shit is ridiculous.
>>27019200
This is why I disagree with all the hype about Gen 7's graphics.
There is not a single thing they could do graphically to make me like this game's aesthetics until they remove this bullshit.
>>27019239
There are already Pokémon in Gen 6 that can fly but stand on the ground, like Farfetch'd and Delibird.
>>27020850
>They're not even flapping their wings
>>27015974
>>27020850
Some, yes, but Salamence's wings clearly are not built for flapping
>>27020863
Tropius is the worst. I always imagined it needed to flap it's wings rapidly, like a bug's wings.
>>27020828
t. John Gamefreak
>>27020895
Then have it on the fucking ground?
>>27020863
>Skarmory
Agree
>Tropius
Agree
>Xatu
It's using it's psychic abilities to "fly", and having it move it's wings would look jarring as hell.

Which is what the player is seeing, which is what ultimately matters.
If you want to go with that angle, have flying Pokémon fly in a circle around the centre of the arena, with the camera following them, when not attacking. Having them float in place when they look decidedly silly doing that is bad design.
>>27020895
I completely agree, so why doesn't it just stand? Salamance's standing model is perfect.
>>27020928
It would be extremely convoluted and pointless. Especially since it's been like this SINCE GENERATION FUCKING ONE and only NOW people have started to complain about it.
>>27020957
>static sprites are the same as 3D models
Nice bait
>>27020928
>Which is what the player is seeing, which is what ultimately matters.
The player is fucking retarded, then. A small rat doesn't remain immobile when a lion as big as a small truck attacks it despite the game showing it.
>>27020904
>>27020930
Salamence being grounded would undermine it's entire evolution line, which is a Bagon that really wants to fly to evolves into a Pokemon that can fly incredibly well.
>>27020957
>it's been like this SINCE GENERATION FUCKING ONE
No it hasn't. Gen 1-4 had static sprites. Even in the 3D spinoffs, Pokémon like Xatu and Skarmory were always on the ground.
>>27020977
>>27020991
Except no ones bitching about the sprites/models, they're bitching about the animations, which weren't even a thing since gen 5 and even then most of them look like shit.
>>27020884
Looks better on the ground.
>>27020913
> and having it move it's wings would look jarring as hell.
Right, so it shouldn't be shown flying to fucking begin with.
Those 3 I just mentioned should be shown standing up.
>>27020900
I assumed it worked like a helicopter.
>>27020988
I guess the staff NEVER got Salamence right then.
>>27021010
Yes, as I said, in the 3D spinoffs their animations were always on the ground.
>matter seemingly appears out of nowhere in this series
>no one cares
>pokemon glide in place
>HOLY SHIT GUYS THAT MAKES NO SENSE
>>27020988
The Pokedex also says Abra sleeps 18 hours a day. Should 75% of Abra in the wild be asleep when you find them then?
>>27021045
>I guess the staff NEVER got Salamence right then.
You write this humorously when posting a picture that proves that the "staff" got Salamence's coloring wrong for two generations and a total of 7 years.
>>27021038
>>27021045
Skarmory and Salamence both look retarded sitting down.
That's like having Magnezone just lay on the ground, that ruins the point of their design, they're supposed to look like they're gliding because they both fly like jets, and jets don't flap their wings.
>>27021106
That's not Abra's main point of existing though.
>>27021113
The coloring for many Pokemon changed a lot, especially gen 1-4.
>>27021114
>thinking Stoic Xatu and Salamance Gen 3-5 looked retarded
shit opinion
>>27020928
I've always wanted them to have Pokémon make movements around the battlefield which just add to the aesthetic and don't reflect anything in the battle system. It would make it look so much cooler.
>>27021114
Magnezone is fine floating in the air. Salamence and Skarmory do not look fine floating in the air. They shouldn't be flapping their wings, they should just be on the fucking ground, like people have been telling you this entire thread.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmilkk1LpV0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIV_AKN0V5U (couldn't find a standalone video of just Salamence, skip to ~2:00)
Both of these look noticeably better than Gen 6's floating animations.
>>27021186
Xatu looks alright, but have Pokemon that would fly almost constantly and not have their sprites flying is retarded.
>>27019200
If your so fucking mad do something faggot complaining isn't going to change
Anything so please STFU
>>27021210
Skarmory isn't Doduo, it can clearly fucking fly and that's how Skarmory flies, if you think it's stupid looking, then tough shit, that's how it flies.
GameFreak shouldn't have to change shit just because your autism isn't happy.
>>27021215
It looked fine in every 3D model on the ground. Who said Salamance flies constantly? Bagon just wants to fly, that doesn't mean it's still obsessed with it when evolved.
>>27021319
>I REALLY want to fly when I evolve!
>Nah, never mind, I only wanna fly once or twice.
>>27021345
There is more artwork of it on the ground than flying.
>>27020828
This is a board for the poor saps who never grew out of Pokemon and are far beyond Gamefreak's target audience.
>>27021365
There's artwork of it on it's hind limbs, do you think Salamence should just look like this?
>>27021408
Either you're part of those poor saps or you're underage, in which case MOOOOODS
>>27021463
Actually Salamence's attack animation is almost exactly like that in the Colosseum games and it looks good. It's on all fours for its idle animation though.
>>27021258
It can fly but that doesn't mean it should always be flying in-game. It's inspired by the crane, a bird that's commonly depicted on the ground.
If I remember correctly Skarmory is on the ground for the majority of the first PMD special, too.
>>27021571
Forgot pic
And before you reply with an image of a crane in flight, I know it can fly, just like Skarmory, but that's not the point I'm making.
>>27019200
I'll live with it as long as they fixed the clipping in Talonflame's flapping animation and that weird gap in M-Camerupt's mega evolving animtation
I didn't even realize that people were mad about this.
Of all the things?
This is probably the most autistic thing to be mad about.
>>27022395
Newfag
Opinions are opinions and you're allowed to not care, but you're clearly a newfag, there have been threads complaining about this since 2013.
>>27022395
I agree really. I think it's fine and have never even thought about it.
But to each their own I guess. /vp/ does tend to be quite a picky little community. Notice how it's the only place to care about something like this.
>>27022395
>>27022452
Serious question, how long have you two been on /vp/, and if you've been here for a while WHY are you still here if you hate this place so much?
>>27019239
Well, why the fuck did the few Flying types with standing animations get barred from Sky Battles?
>>27021319
Actually, it does mean that it's obsessed. It's literally accomplished its life's goal, and flies whenever possible.
>>27019200
It's like you want them to be hit by earthquakes
>>27019200
They fucking stand still, they fucking fly in place, so fucking what
>>27026786
Have them circle each other, the gliding would make sense, everything would make sense
>>27022395
>>27026786
It's because it looks bad. The Pokemon just float there. Half of them don't even flap their wings or anything.
If they made it look better, I'd have no problem with flying models.
LOOOOOOOLthat's what you get for wanting to rush through 6th gen you fucking fag memes
>>27026973
except those two mons actually fly like that, as well as Xatu
now complain if it's Tropius or Swellow
>mfw my favorite pokemon is Xatu
>>27019200
No one cares, entitled twat. Kills yourself.
>>27019200
Bitching for the sake of bitching. This should be bannable behavior.
>>27027520
>WAAAAH WHY ISN'T THIS PLACE AN ECHO CHAMBER TO SUCK GF DICK WAAAAAH
Fuck off back to whatever forum you came from.
>>27027797
Underage confirmed. Go to bed, kiddo.
>>27021106
you only find the ones that are not sleeping. that's why they're rare
>>27027352
Xatu and Salamance are two that doesn't need fixing and look copletly fine.
All flying Pokemon should get fierce flying animation.
