genuinely what are you talking about lol

legit like come on

Nostalgiabait brings the clicks. I mean the 2D moving sprites from Gen 5 had personality, but it's disingenuous to say that the models don't have as much. Kalos didn't have many full moving 3D models with personality but from Alola onwards they cooked with them

look at my edgy boy 😊🖤

“kinda crazy how these simple animations convey much more of their personalities than the 3D models do”

What? No! 3D Pokemon bad! Scarlet and Violet are irredeemable!!! Everything should be 8bit and just like gen 1!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!

Rhymes defeat pose is legit one of my favorites, she's disappointed but still approves cause it was a good battle! I love both 3D and 2D and it sucks fans can't adore both!!!!

LIKE HAVE THEY SEEN HER ??

gen 5 fans will look you dead in the eyes and say these convey no personality

they're back peddling after being called out lmao

now i do like the 2d sprites but u CANNOT say the 3d models dont convey their personalities when he exists

Can't forget the goat

They lost the sauce in gen 6 But gen 7 on? The sauce is back

Nemona one not even doing it justice cause I swear theres subtle changes between story battles

It’s just overly nostalgic people who can’t handle the new games It’s actually really sad how many people are like that

Yeah, kinda crazy how a sprite-based video game from 2011 was able to accomplish that much with the technology available at the time, and yet 15 years later the same company with literally billions of dollars to its name and the best technology and man-power it could ever want still only pulls off the most bland, lifeless and uninspired animations for its characters like they are actively phoning it in just to meet a bare-minimum quota.

ppl haven't played ScarVio and it shows, people saying that the only real problem are the technical aspects of it is not a joke, its near perfect if not for those

How about everyone just shut the fuck up and admit both 2d and 3d is good, end of discussion argue with the wall

Gen 5 fans are the most delusional people ever 😭

Ortega’s battle intro so good

Yeah not like this took a decade. Show me sun and moon looking this good. We have a deadzone between the modern pokemons quality and early 2010’s pokemons quality.

Can I just say how much I always loved the camera work in the animations? Like how much it moves with their hand movements even if it's not necessarily following the hand

oh my god i totally forgot atticus did a BACKFLIP😭

Half of these they barely even do anything... the rest of them are either decent at best or just plain stupid

2nd clip

people genuinely forgot what the whole "2D VS 3D" debate was about and are just saying shit now

3d pokemon haters are genuinely the most echo chamber group of people in the fandom omg

Like, where were these people in Gen 7?

Old good, new bad. I hate nostalgia mutts so much

Then explain Mustard, because he also has unique battle intro animation

Kieran my goat ❤️

@Zimmly Bro why shit on like.. one of the few things they genuinely do really fucking well there's millions of other things u can shit on no need to make shit up nostalgia is a hella of a drug

This is my first time seeing these animations in 60fps wow, the Switch 2 upgrade really did wonders for Scarlet & Violet huh

Tbf, some of these are sick af, but some are kind of underwhelming. They’re not all bangers. Rewatch the vid and let’s be real here

Old good new bad, updoots plz
