This is a brilliant idea and it's a shame people aren't getting it.

Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Stadium, Colosseum/XD, and Battle Revolution are very worth mining for animations. Off the top of my head, Milotic and Vileplume have some awesome ones in those games.
Bring back Crobat's underbite!

Battle Revolution attack animations and overall Pokemon animations would be the dream. I really don't get why GF just are sticking with the whole stand in one spot not moving at all animations. They're dated and have been since XY even first came out.
The reason I guess is because battles would take a lot longer due to all the animations it would make all the wild Pokemon a pain I guess?

Oh I forgot: please let me change the ball my Pokemon is in. If it means the previous one is discarded and lost, then so be it.
b/c full battle anamations would take a large amount of time/money given pokemons roster. even smash only has a few thousand anamations. pokemon would need 10s of millions.
Genius Sonority managed to do it for damn near 500 of them, probably over 500 if you count alternate forms and such.
Battle Revolution? that's also a game where its only purpose was battles and the game got a bunch of 5/10 scores because of how barebones the game was.
It might be the lowest rated Pokemon game of all time?
Though, some of them were carried over from previous games with the earliest being 64, but then again GF had so many years since XY to update battle animations and still nothing.Pikachu, and other pokemon, still does the stupid hopping animation for multi-hit moves.
Edit: Thinking back I think some pokemon actually got updated animations in revolution, as Heracross doesn't do the Sumo stomp for earthquake.
And they did literally nothing else with Battle Revolution. Gamefreak has to make an large RPG within a reasonable timeframe so that the TCG, anime, and other things have material to work with. They can't sit in their office for several years animating a bajillion attack animations.
Yeah. It would have really helped them stand out too. As it stands I find they're just kind of there, ya know?
though I wounder if people would be ok with a procedural animation system, of if people would just complain about all the weird animations
Well, that happens when Nintendo rushed the game to be release a year earlier than it supposed to be, as they wanted a big game for the winter season.
I usually remember Colosseum and XD being great. Like, I remember playing them on the GameCube and feeling like, wow, THIS is the future. But a few months ago I watched a video showcasing all of the Pokémon from XD, and I couldn't believe how bad they actually looked lol
On the other hand, I think Battle Revolution still looks awesome, more than 10 years later. I loved tha animations, the style, the music, everything was so well done. It only lacked a bit more of story and mini games.
So, like... Is anyone else going to attempt a media blackout? I want to feel like a kid again and commit to a game and starter based on nothing but what we know now, just like how I knew nothing going into Red Version. I want to be as blind as possible for the new game. I'm committing to Sobble and will choose a game based on the box art!
You're going to have to basically completely avoid youtube and most of social media. There are going to be tons of official and unofficial posts of trailers, screenshots, scans, etc. It's basically impossible if you are in the community.
It would be cool and sort of a call back to casey from the anime, although that was baseball and not soccer.
Try blocking keywords like "Pokemon," "Sword and Shield," etc. on YouTube and social media so you can avoid spoilers without having to fear the internet
it would add context having your freinds be your team mates, and your rival be on a opposing team.
Yep, still a great looker, and it only amazes what could've been done if the wii was stronger. More than ten years later, and still nothing has come close to the fidelity of the first BR beta trailer.
i'm betting they'll cover it when they do their map overview video lol"There's nothing that looks remotely like it."
Come on, Gamexplain :P
It did look nice, shame it was one of the worst Pokemon games I ever played
I'm well aware. Honestly, I'm gonna give it an honest try because it will be better for my health, too. I need to greatly reduce my use of the internet for a few months and give my eyes a rest from looking at screens all day every day. I stare at my computer screen so much it's insane. I'll be doing the same with Fire Emblem Three Houses after the February trailer.
Thanks. Will do.
Stop.
Powercreeping.
New Pokemon.
That or buff the base stats and move pools of old Pokemon. Megas and Z-moves are wholly unnecessary.
I think they're a good chance Wailord will be much larger (not to level of XD, but still a good improvement).I know I shouldn't expect much from game freak but I will facepalm if this game still downsize Wailord in the final release. I want more Gale of Darkness and less XY.
They aren't scared to do huge ass pokemon models.
megas are fine itadds a bit of guess work for the player, b/c it lets your openat hide something. as is you can tell what a team is going to do by the pokemon on it, allowing a mega adds a bit of mistory.
User Banned (2 Days): Off-topic commentary and modwhining, previous infractions
I completely agree. Not with your point. I agree that you being warned for 'arguing I'm bad faith' is ridiculous. The mods just literally picked sides, neither one of you was arguing in worse faith than the other. In fact of the two, LordKano was more aggressive and trolly.I'M NOT SAYIN THIS PARTICULAR MOVE ITSELF IS IDENTICAL. I'm saying THE WHOLE OF THE MOVES are in the same style and realization. because they clearly are
as the animations of pokemons/characters, as the graphics in general and all. sword and shield are just a bit more detailed.
oh and mods, how is this "bad faith"? sorry but all my assumptions are based on actual facts. I'm a huge pokemon fan.
Most of them are insanely easy to telegraph. Nobody is going to use normal Metagross, Venusaur, Pinsir, Heracross, Gardevoir, Lopunny, Manectric, Medicham etc. The only difficult one to predict, like Theorymon said, is Charizard because it has two options.
You know what makes battles predictable? Battle previews.
Stadium animations are an absolute treasure. It sucks that they're a lot slower to execute because of how exaggerated they are, but I absolutely love watching them. They were so expressive! I loved how Starmie would spin around like a boomerang to shoot a thunderbolt, or how Venusaur's eyes would turn red, or how a damaged Alakazam would fall back slowly, land on its back, lay on its side with its head resting on its arm, and hovering while still in this position to get back up. Also, Kangaskhan's animations are just wild and they crack me up.
Oh god, I have to share this! XD
I know I shouldn't expect much from game freak but I will facepalm if this game still downsize Wailord in the final release. I want more Gale of Darkness and less XY.
let go did alot better with pokemon scale
they were just limited by the 3DS screen so they had to shrink things down in order to get every thing on it
Finally I found some time researching and analysing the trailer and I have to say the complaints about the graphics are for the most part hilarious. It's hard to see at first glimpse since they use they're Pokémon style almost unchanged (which might be the reason we don't have much better visual styles) but the graphics had improved vastly. They now use rather advanced mechanics like volumetric lighting (maybe, not too sure on that at the moment (look at the foggy forest)), normal and bump mapping (for some parts of the environment and maybe even slightly on the character models) and sometimes maybe physically based rendering though I'm not to sure on that.
For example for the first time in pokemon history the water is water and not a painted plane of blue and white colours. If you look at it, it has a much darker realistical tone and it's reflecting light! And not only light but it mirrors the surrounding landscape, something I've never expected from a pokemon game. The environment building and foliage is much more detailed with little leaves sticking out of a bush or an entire ivy vine as a single model and the bricks in walls seem to sticking more in and out (maybe normal map). And in the London themed steampunk city you can see somewhat more realistically shaded metal, that could be pbr (physically based rendering) or just a reflection map.. need to look at this some more.
The only thing that's not optimised are some washed out background and close up textures.

This is something blew up my mind... In 2001 when buying Dark Cloud on PS2. The fact that GF took so many years to implement it speaks for itself.
Damn... I'm actually tempted to change my avatar to a Pokemon Trainer. Lol that's how excited I am
It speaks to the fact that they've spent almost the entire time since 2001 working on hardware weaker than the PS2.
Well, could be that, or that they did it purely out of artstyle choices... (but we all know the truth)
?
They've been working on 3DS (more powerful than PS2 and at least capable of running modern water animation) since at least 2010 (when X/Y started development)...? Also, you can find modern water in plenty of early PS2/GC games from teams that were working on PS1.
I went on a social media blackout for Sun and moon after e3. Was hard as hell but it was so worth it.
It had more modern architecture, and I know it was able to use shaders the PS2 couldn't.
3DS was fully capable of running modern water graphics, lol
Im pointing at the ps2 part. But yes it had shaders ps2 didnt
I'm tempted BUT... I wanna see more lol I'm not gonna spoil myself but I just gotta see a story trailer.
Yeah. That was... rather odd lol"There's nothing that looks remotely like it."
Come on, Gamexplain :P
You can see the angled pillars of the stadium behind the same pantheon building, with the three-storey townhouses (with the snow-covered doorway canopies) in the front, and the snow-covered trees in the surrounds.
It's just that the tall buildings in that perspective have hidden the circular courtyard.
