Emerald Animations

Post by Feralyn »

Is anybody a bit dissapointed at Emeralds animations? I mean I guess animations are better than none, but if you compare it to Crystal's animations... they are... quite dissapointing. I would have much rather them recolor Crystal's animations and then provide better quality animations for the third generation pokemon. Even though some of the normal Crystal sprites I do not like... But oh well they fit a lot of infermation onto one tiny cartridge, I doubt they wulda been able to do that anyway. Either that or they were just rushed/lazy...

Feh... *plays Emerald*

They should have some space left over from the cartridge. C's cartridge only held about a few megabytes while Emeralds probably holds about 30-50 mbs. I'm just guessing here. I do think that Crystal's animation is better than Emerald.
BTW Can you please not use red... It's very annoying.

most of the animations do suck but I like Magnemite's even though it is just a rotation of the pic while moving to other spots on the screen. Absol's animation was outstanding though in my oppinion. The animation for all of the Unown suck.

I don't own Emerald but I do own Crystal, even though I never seriously played it much and only used it to transfer one-time only Pokémon to my Gold game :wink: Anyway, I never liked the animations in Crystal. I thought they were annoying and a waste of valuable seconds in battle (you see, I just want the experience points from the battles, I love harvesting level 100 Pokémon so I try to get the battles done as quickly as possible, any seconds shaved off are good to me :smile: )

So by disposition I'm against the Emerald animations, and though I've never personally seen them in-game, I've seen a few online .gifs of them and they don't look too special.

It's nice that there were animations, but, well... I never liked the animations at all... Almost like what Pikachu3828 said... Kinda. I wish there was an option to only take off those sprite animations... I sometimes like to watch my Pokémon attack.
