I really hope they got rid of some of the constant 'hovering' animations for Pokemon. Charizard just looks so stupid hovering in the air flapping his wings, same with Salamence.

they didn't. Xatu still hovers

Guess it's another generation of any pokemon with wings looking like a huge dork.

Well, it kind of makes sense that Xatu would hover. He moves with the power of his mind, so no wing flapping is required.
but in battle though? that's the biggest problem with all the flying pokemon, they're always flying even if they have legs

it's amazing Toucannon doesn't constantly fly, but I guess they wised up to how stupid it looks

I was surprised by how much I loved Toucannon, genuinely one of my top favorite bird pokemon now!

Mega Salamence somehow manages to look even stupider with its little legholders and its croissant wings.

It's a shame, it actually looks kinda cool on the ground:

Toucannon is great yeah. First played Pokemon Sun with a Rowlet, and I'm playing Ultra Moon with Litten so I decided to put Pikipek on my team because it feels wrong to not have the regional bird on it. Gonna be fun to see what it can do in battles, I loved the designs for the entire line from the moment they were revealed.

Keen Eye actually, wasn't paying attention tbh. Always having 125 atk Bullet Seed sounds really good but having full accuracy all the time while also ignoring their invasion stat sounded even better to me. I dunno if I'll hunt own down just for Skill Link.
It's not just for Bullet Seed, but Rock Blast too.

I'm expecting a trailer next week, because it's two weeks before release and that's usually when preloads start, then another one the week it releases as a sort of "launch trailer".

Hey, the last few threads didn't have that. There's some progress there.

Now imagine if we found ot that every Pokémon is programmed into the game with fully detailed models and animations or some shit like that. All the progress lost.
they didn't with Let's Go, so they thought it through there
