What in the actual frick did Game Freak mean by this? Kalos should have had as many new flying types as Hoenn had new water types.
I'm not sure why people treat this mode as something significant and the cause of having flying Pokémon fly, when it is likely just added as filler content when they had all the models and animations already created
Because pokemon like Skarmory, Xatu, Tropius, Salamence, etc. had never once been depicted in a moronic “gliding in position” stance prior to XY.
Hitmontop had also never been once been depicted standing prior to XY. What's your point?
It was depicted standing in pokedex 3d pro moron, see
hitmontop’s XY animation is lifted from there, just like everything else in the gen 1-5 dex except the gliders and some fliers.
Wow schizo you're right these poses are totally the same.
Also that all the the XY battle idles are repurposed from the Pokedex 3D pro idles except for the moronic gliders and some of the fliers, meaning Gamefreak deliberately chose to single out those mons for idle animations.
sky battles should've let any pokemon participate if they hold an air balloon or float stone
>be in sky battle
>get your air balloon popped
>drop to the ground like Wile E. Coyote and fricking die
I'd buy that game.
The Float Stone only halves the holder's weight. It doesn't make you levitate.
It only exists so that there would be a format where CHARIZARD and it’d two megas was the only starter useable.
>create a type of battle where the average player ends up with just one mon with no chance of switching
>make trainer with skarmory
did they just assume everyone would use talonflame and charizard? holy shit
>did they just assume everyone would use talonflame and charizard
Consdering those two are the most popular Kalos Pokemon, yes.
>Was the reason a ton of mons were stuck in moronic flying idle animations in Gen 6 since GF were too lazytarded to fix it
Frick sky battles
>was the reason [FANFIC]
Cope
yeah bro I hate sky battles in scarlet and violet
>Posts pic from gen where stuck idle flying animations are fixed and a mon that was never affected by them
These.
Blame Masuda for this shit.
Sky battles were a fricking travesty that ruined alot of flying pokemon battle idles. One of (if not) worst gimmicks they added.
>stuck in moronic flying idle animations
a lot of Flying type pokemon either still had grounded idle animations (mostly NFEs) or their wings were properly animated for their idle animations. only a handful of mons had the weird gliding in place animation. it's also worth noting that a good chunk of them like the Zubat line had flying idle animations in the 2D games as well. not sure why people act like it was all Flying types that had this problem
>GF were too lazytarded to fix it
i agree that gamefreak is lazy and the switch pokemon games are shit but this is something that SV did in fact finally fix as much as i hate that game
I felt bad for people who like Swellow. One of the pokemon that suffered really bad from Sky battles idle shit.
Pokemon Amie got it right regarding which Pokemon should be flying all the time and which should be grounded if not in a Sky battle.
Sucks that they couldn't carry this over battles in the same game
