What did you guys think!?
Which Pokemon would you like to see get fixed? Leave your suggestion below!
They were all great, but Hitmontop made no sense. I get he’s a top but him infinitely spinning looked way too busy and disorienting. After all I hear his normal animation is based on a martial art stance. I forget which one though
Altaria would look floofier if grounded
Scolipede. Bit too statue like right now.
I would love seeing scolipede with some more life. I love it a lot but I always felt like it would be more mobile and not just stand still. It’s a bug. It has high speed. Maybe if it’s neck moved around while it was idle?
Coukd you give the marshtomp more personality please
A lot of people are saying the same thing and I have to agree: the animations loop too quickly. This is really evident for me in the Starmie in the beginning, where the sudden jerking and spinning doesn’t look too clean to me.
A good way to do it is to maybe try and find a beat to them. So like, 1...2...3...[now]...1..., and so on. The animations might look better with breathing room is all
Better comparison would be to do it somewhat like the Black and White animations. Have the custom animation happen every few seconds with a more idle stance in between. Like Lillipup, who does a sort of hophop idle.
Especially hitmontop imo
Yeah, I said something about Hitmontop earlier, so I'll just copy paste my comment.
"Hitmontop does actually spin that fast. (I'm playing Pokepark right now and watched my this, he definitely spins pretty fast.) Maybe have him just normally stand with his little arm swing every once in a while, and then do a flip into spin to continue. Like Pokepark." Some dude was talking about how Hitmontop spun too fast.
Hmm i agree, the animations are great and all but it just lacks room to breathe everything move to fast
I agree. Specifically with Starmie, the spin of the back should have eased in and out- rather than just easing out.
I think hitmontop's spin would be good as a entering animation, and the side steps as idle.
I was thinking the same thing
This is it. You got it!
yea aggree with that
Yes, please!
This is great but how about it alternating between dancing and spinning
Holy crap! You just made me like Maractus and Politoed! I honestly never realized how much the movements of Pokemon actually contribute to their likeability.
I gotta agree, Politoed especially resonated with me.
“Sadowudu”
MY SUDOWOODO LOOK HOW HE MASSACRED MY SUDOWOODO
People don't think about pokemon names, because it's easy to pronounce "Sudowoodo" when you realize it's supposed to be like "pseudo-wood," aka false wood. Since it's a fake tree.
Hahahaha! I came just to see who else would point that out.
Have you heard how he pronounced "albeit"?
@@muizzsiddique al-be-it , and al-buy-it right?

@@Buttington_Headerson good luck sleeping ;)
Don't forget that big tan ;)
I didn’t realize just how lifeless some of these Pokémon were in recent games. This can bring whole new perspective to how a Pokémon is perceived.
Same here!! Was about to comment exactly that, what in comparison it’s sad how little effort they are making nowadays for a new game.
I mean, that’s because we don’t usually just sit there and idle in a battle. I’d prefer GameFreak add more attacking animations than “fix” idle poses.
@@Scuuurbs or both!
Is there a mod pack for fix all animation like these?
You idiots needed a youtube vid telling you in 2020 that these XY 3d models are lifeless for you to realize that they are lifeless?? Talk about blind.
It's even worse considering the lazy recycled models and animations didnt start from XY but pokepark, but I can give that one a pass considering no one in the world played those
i'd prefer hitmontop to only spin on its head when it:
-emerges from pokéball/appears in the wild
-occcationally should make a variation in the idle animation
-initiates certain attacks
big fan of it's current idle animation where it stands on its feet and does the capoeira movements
Hah so you don't want a pokemon whose name contains top, is literally a fighting top to not spin. Pokemon fans are so eager to ruin their beloved franchise. Spinning on his head is a major part of its identity.
@@ezio934 Explain exactly how an opinion going to ruin the franchise?
@@ezio934 ok
@@ezio934 Right, but if it constantly spun on its head, it would wind up with a major headache. The head spinning should be part of it's attack animations.
@@ezio934 When did they say they don’t want it to spin?
Pokemon Gen 5 games had the most personality in their sprite animations.
They were the most lively for sure, but not all had more personality. Some were literally just swaying back and forth. I never played them but I've seen plenty of footage to know that the Stadium and Battle Revolution games gave a ton of personality to Pokemon (And had them using moves from the appropriate places like Blastoise actually shooting from its cannons).
I agree, all of the gen 5 animations had a 'loop' but then they would occasionally break out and do like a 'fidget' that expressed the character of the Pokémon. Wished they would do that with the 3d models instead of just having them sway on the spot.
gen 5 also delivered our boy trubbish to us, bless.
They were a bit messy tho. Cause thin details will otfen get clipped and most of them just moved front and back
Eh...
The problem I feel with these animations is that they're constant. Maybe it's just been made to loop immediately for the sake of demonstation, and if it is disregard this, but the ones like Politoed and Maractus need pauses in between these animations. It just looks unnatural otherwise.
The same could kind of be applied to Hitmontop. The constant spinning just looks strange, in my opinion, but spinning intersped with breaks (either on their feet or head, maybe even dizzily) would look much better.
He's just reusing the other animations GF made
I think hitmontop should spin for a few seconds then go into the normal animation we have at the moment for another few seconds before jumping and spinning on its head again.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Impressive work nonetheless. Better than GF for sure
Yea Starmie should also have a pause it looks like it acts too Excited this way
Jigglypuff well that southern a critic against gamefreak since they made the animations unnatural themselves
You said it best.
"Politoed as a CHARACTER."
Gamefreak treats their mons as objects instead of characters. Therefore they feel that they don't need to give them a personality.
Exactly, Objects you can just destroy/make unusable for others.
I honestly like some of the pokemon standing still. The constant moving and speratic animations are unappealing and occasionally obnoxious.
@@bforthigh1617 I think it'd be better with a nice mix turning between both animations, like standing still then suddenly an animated move then still again then a different animation, for me i'd more balanced that way ... btw i loved wingull's origami state
Yeah, pokemon are sentient and intelligent creatures, naturally they'd be able to express themselves in the same ways humans would.
Hey, sometimes they take it too far in the other direction and we get shit like Incineroar, who's a character instead of a species
"You made Wingull look dumb." And I suppose the third and fourth generation back sprites for Wingull don't exist either.
Critiscm:
Hitmontop looks too weird constantly on his head. I think he should spin for a while, then get down to take a break
He can't stop, he needs help. He is stuck
@@galuxius1861 h e i s s t u c k
@@beekidsart1176 In the name of Arceus someone help him please
i agree. I think it would be a good idea for him to start spinning, slow down and wobble then idle for a while and start spinning again
Spinning as an attack animation is also viable
I think hitmontop should do both.
With the capo style stance being the main one where he then transitions to the spinning on his spike. Then after a bit he jumps out of it and returns to his standard capo animation.
Yesssssssss! I didn't even realize this is what I wanted till you posted it :D
Yes, I was thinking the same thing.
carlos conde that's true also for most of these animations; they actually look great, but they should alternate between these cool animations and the more ''idle'' ones, or it becomes too repetitive. Look at Starmie for example, it gets annoying after a few seconds. Politoed too, looks really cute but it gets annoying after you see the same animation like 12 times in 20 seconds
Politoed should be always jumping but just croacking some times, and I think Hitmontop should come out of it's pokeball spinning and then jump into the capoeira dance
Adrián Mull yeah that literally made me dizzy lol
Perfect of example of "fine, I'll do it myself"
So true
True
True, but also kinda sad
@@pogfection787 agreed
I read this in THanos' voice.
I have mad respect for this dude. Instead of just complaining and wining how gamefreak is lazy and how pokemon is the worst game ever like other pokemon fans, he's actually trying to find problems with the game and finding solutions to them. He genuinely just wants the games to be better.
No one is saying that though, like you understand no Pokémon fan is going to say it's the "worst game ever", the criticism is fair when it's directed at literally the highest grossing franchise ever, the only reason people are annoyed by it is because most fans complain a l o t, but that's because they are tired of saying the same thing on repeat and seeing gamefreak adopt the "screw it, they'll buy it anyway" mentality and capitalize off of how much they love the franchise instead of making games worth their price :/
Edit: OKAY I HAVE SEEN THE FANS Y'ALL WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT NEVERMIND TURNS OUT THEY DO EXIST- I was completely wrong, my bad for that, still think the criticism against Nintendo is entirely justified but these people are twats and I understand why others are wary of critiques when they exist
@@rontheron4807 sword and shield has to be the most half-assed pokemon game in history like fr it feels like B2W2 was the last game where they cared
@@ohmeohmicah did you not read my comment? I agree with you 100%, I'm defending the people criticizing it :(
And at the same time he gets all the hate
Thats just sad
It’s a shame, because when it all comes down to it, I think what everyone unanimously wants is for all the devs and artists and animators to be able to take a break and take their time. People happy with just getting the games, I always see wanting the team behind it to not be stressed. The people not happy, want them to take their time. I wonder what could happen with Pokémon games if we could actually push for them to take their time to make what they wanted, since they OBVIOUSLY are not lazy if they get out a game a year. Overworked, underpaid, and under-appreciated because all we see is their crunch work, really.
Starmie: *spins back*
DistantKingdom: *The emotion that it makes, its outstanding!*
Lmao
XD
The worst thing is that he actually convinced me that the back star spinning was so lively and cute and relateable
@@spiritualsnail1584 but it is.... Y'all don't spin your backs like that when you're happy?
@@jvmeel7454 i always break my spine when im happy omg
so my problem with most of these animations is that they seem to be too fast- or to put it better, it loops too fast
they don't stop moving, and they don't feel like actual pokemon animations
I'm editing this again to say: yes, these look better than what game freak offers, I just want to see them looped properly so I can see the true potential of that animation
They could be amazing for those occasional idles animations the pokemon does, like make maractus do that chill idle he always does, until suddenly, it just gets excited and does the *fixed* animation
@@funimu7262 yeah that's kind of what I was thinking
Tbh, it’s better than the Pokemon standing still during battle and doing next to nothing. Gamefreak has the ability to create something so much better, and this is just one dude reanimating stuff for fun and content. The whole point is to kind of suggest and change the parts that don’t look good in the real game, it isn’t meant to be perfect, one person isn’t a full animation team. And I’d rather something that ‘doesn’t feel like an actual Pokémon animation’ because the actual Pokémon animations aren’t animations at all. It’s just an idle Pokémon staring into your soul as the camera moves in battle
@@tityajack @Draco Lopez I was just saying the animations were cool, but that extra work that could have been taken by him to make them pass as real deal pokemon animations by making the animations happen less often would have made it look great
I have no idea how long it would have taken to implement this idea, I was just saying how you could go from something good to something great just by making the animation play with more time in between
@@chefdunsparce4254 Ah, Sorry, I think I read it as meaner than it was intended! Apologies, I get what ya mean!
Next on DistantKingdom : I fix Pokémon Sword & Shield As a Whole
I’d pay for that for sure. Give this man anything he wants
I swear if these modders bring back all Pokémon.
@@spectralbands and they haven't done much else since, because adding more would require to actually create the models from zero, as we don't have access to the high-poly version of those models.
I get the feeling when he's done with this, Pokemon SWSH is just gonna be Pokemon Battle Revolution with mods, appearance-wise. Like him returning Hitmontop to its "objectively not a martial art spinning on its head" idle animation tells me he honestly believes the series would be better if it went backwards...
randomfridge 618 Good
It’s so upsetting seeing just how charming these models can be, yet they all just stay still or sway gradually. Most if not all of them look pretty much dead

How fast do you want your hitmontop rotation?
Distantkingdom: YES.
When some random bloke on youtube can make better animations than the official studio behind *the largest media franchise in history* you know they just don't give a fuck anymore...you know as if sword and shield didn't drive that home already.
He isn't making new animations, though. He's just porting them over from Pokemon Amie and Pokemon Camp.
@@syweb2 He can do that but gamefreak can't.... What a shame
@@jvmeel7454 Well GameFreak are cut for time and have a restrictions on what they should be focusing on. The Pokemon weren't the only things worked on when GF made Sword and Shield, they probably had to make he places, people, cutscenes, etc.
I'm sure the Devs were told to focus on the more important work instead of just doing what they want to work on.
Though I don't really know a lot of Game Development I do know it's a ton of work based on how work they did to turn a Beta that literally looks like a placeholder to something that people considered a good enough Pokemon Game.
DistantKingdom did say that a lot of things were lost from the 2d to 3d transition.
The animated movement was probably one of them. I heard that Pixel Art was used to create the animated movements of Pokemon in the Gen 5 games but were removed when they went full 3d.
One if the things I think are a problem with 3d models is that people will want improvements in textures from all things, and with over 800 Pokemon to improve the shaders for like shadows and how depth is shown in certain Pokemon will make it harder.
Pixels make it easier to make depth by darkening certain areas to show that they are further or are protrusions.
Heck I didn't really see a Difference in the PS5 Spiderman from the PS4 Spiderman.
I did wish that they can at least make a small variety of Animations for many Pokemon again, though it's probably a Pipe Dream...
@@jvmeel7454 he didn’t port any animations from previous games, they are all in Sword and Shield, he just set them to play during battle instead of in camp
I agree so much with "posture matters", the reason I also like Toxtricity is how it looks at the opponent, kinda like it's looking down on them. Imagine Toxtricity without that posture, just standing still, looking directly at the opponent like Politoed. It would be so much more boring and lifeless. I would prefer some Pokémon to keep their cool posture (Sneasel and Salazzle also look cool) while the others to get proper animations to convey their personality better (I would prefer Politoed having an animation like Ludicolo but without the same hand movement, kinda just hops left and right while looking more battle-ready.)
Exactly. One of the reasons I love toxtricity so much. Even tho it lacks animation it's so smug simply thanks to its posture. Such a seemingly small thing goes a long way!
@@DistantKingdom I agree and can u improve zizagoon animation pls?
"U made wingull look dumb" But... that's just how he stands.
I think wingull on the ground look so cute
@@NetheCather sameeee
That Politoed croak is the cutest thing I have ever seen omg
“We spent all our time making animations”
Even though there’s less animations
They need more time to learn the new mechanic in switch, but i think nintendo forced them, this tragedy is the one who make pokemon 3ds game only release xy,omegaalpha and sunmoon
Politoad animation has to be the best one in this vid.
It’s shiny is so good too, in sun and moon when I was in Mali garden I ran into a random shiny poliwag and evolved it to politoad immediately
Isn't it spelled "Politoed"
@MidNight Rules what ?all he did was make it hop and croak
Personally, I feel it would have been better with a bit of hopping from one foot to the other. Pretty sure it did that in the anime?

"I was always a fan of maractus" I thought I was alone! Maractus is SO underrated
Agreed.
Yes! More maractus love 💗 ! Gen 5 was my first game and maractus was one of my favs! It's a shame that it gets no attention (by both the fans and the devs)....

i mean, tbf you can just compare those otherwordly beings to pokemon from outer space such as Deoxys Elgyem Jirachi and i guess the Creation Trio + Arceus (though those are from their own dimensions) and easily say which ones feel more like they belong, not in the pokemon world, but in the pokemon series as a whole
@@1Bloxer And, again, that's the whole point. They technically aren't pokemon, but rather interdimensional beings, that's why they look like they don't belong.
Regardless of the actual quality of these mods, the fact that you’re actually trying to have them be more dynamic than the current animations, which tend to be one step above t posing, serves to show that this sort of thing isn’t impossible, it’s just that Gamefreak doesn’t care
czcams.com/video/-9Lcjt13Ytk/video.html :D
Man really said "Let it Rip" when the hitmontop came out, dude is gonna be spinning forever.
You’re one of the only people who does something with their criticism of Sword and Shield, which I think is really commendable. Also Politoed looked incredible
This is pretty cool, just one question though?
*WHEN ARE YOU GONNA MAKE FERROSEED SPEEN LIKE IN THE GEN 5 SPRITE?*
*SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN*
SPEEeeeeEEEeeeeEEEnnnNNNN
sPeEEEeeEEEnNN
Honestly, I don't even like Ferroseed, but it has one of my absolute favorite sprites in all of gen 5. JUST LOOK AT HIM GO, HE SPINS SO FAST.
Ferroseed's model needs to be put above the ground first as half of it is actually under the ground
These are really simple fixes. They could have easily implemented them without putting too much effort, without the need to make new assets or animations. They still can with an update but of course they're not doing that.
Gamefreak is a lazy indie company, what do you expect? Indie part is a joke.
The thing is, as long it's not a broken mechanic, I doubt Gamefreak will fix it. Kinda sad because these changed animations add a "we put thought into this" feeling.
I expected them to at least update the most jarring floating with no soul ones....
A whole different company does animations and models not Gamefreak
@@maxwell97o and it's Creatures, Inc.
The Same company that worked with Hal Labatory and Geinus Senority back in the, as well as Pokedex 3D Pro, and probably for Bandi-Namco right now too
I think you may have singlehandedly given me a greater appreciation for Maractus with just that segment with your improved animation. It now looks so much cuter to me. well done, man :)
“suh duh woo doo” someone didn’t watch the anime
In order of Appearance my Opinions on the animations
1. Starmie: Much better than the old, played stadium so much as a kid and to see it in its former glory within Sword Shield albeit modded is good for my soul
2. Sudowoodo: I understand what you were trying to do and it does give it more life than the official one but i could take it or leave it
3. Wingull: As much as I liked the sitting Wingull Animation this one is much better for battling, sitting Wingull is definitely something i'd like to see in the Camp tho
4. Maractus: Maractus was one of those ones that didn't need to be changed imo but i am glad you did
5. Politoed: Perfection; I never liked the Sitting animations of the older 3d games personally and even the croaking bit was awesome!
6. Raboot: This is something i do wish was real, dynamic poses with the 3d games are pretty important cause some pokemon could actually benefit from having a good pose and no animation. i would like to see some of the other mons get this treatment in the future.
7. Hitmontop: Actually not a fan of the constant spinning, actually i'm not a fan of Hitmontop being upside down in a 3d environment at all, i don't know how to explain why i feel this way but i do.
and those are my opinions. a Pokemon i would like to see get revived tho is Exeggutor since i remember the Stadium version doing a simple jig while being Idle
Sitting Wingull was pulled from Amie/Refresh/Camp so it's still in the game

The starmie loop is not perfect to me because of the aggressiv learning forward every 2 sec, but much better then game freak good Job.
The new wingull is better, the sudowoodo aswell.
The polytoad is so good but the loop is a bit too quick aswell for me.
At the beginn a quick spin yes pls but constantly is a bit much.
Literally same opinion
Prefer as an attack animation
Yeah, same
Yeah i agree with pretty much everything you said
This is would be different if Distant was actually animating it. I know what he is going for.. the loop and agressive leaning they have is due to using preexisting animations. If someone was actually animating these it would look amazing.. Like hitmontop idle could be dancing to spinning and procceeds dancing then loops.. when attacking leaning forward spinning towards them.. So many cool ideas. but require someone actually changing the animation
Arceus has shined light on Distant Kingdom.

2:18 "Sudd-oh-wood-oo"
Maybe you could combine hitmontops animations. When you send him out, he’ll jump on his head and spin, but only for a second. He’ll return to game freaks idle for a couple seconds and then switch to spinning again. It spices up the viewing experience by giving variety while also making sure he’s not too dizzy to attack (seriously any living creature would puke after a minute in constant spinning of that speed.

Great job here, but that was the roughest pronunciation of Sudowoodo I have ever heard 😂 The Sudo is Pronounced like “pseudo” as in fake. “Soo-dough-woo-dough”

He didn't get the play on words the Pokemon Company intended for Sudowoodo as in it sounds like "Pseudo-Wood(o)" literally fake wood which was why it looks like a plant but is a Rock type instead of a Grass type.

(Also, IMO the landing animation of Wingull was better, but this one is great as well)Edit: Guys, do not like my comment! I was wrong, he is not creating these animations, he's just applying other ones to the idle pose... which is still impressive, just far less...
You could have Wingull flap, glide and land, then repeat.
@@donaldjgumpofficial5754 You definitly could, but In an ideal pokemon game, I'd make it so that flying pokemon normally stand on the ground, but fly, when either dodging, or attacking.
@Oxnard Darcy Which is sad, because Game Freak could've done the same exact thing for free because everything was already there and being used, but nooooo!
@Oxnard Darcy When he's using an attack one, yes, but you ca't just import a catroon's movement into a 3d game... when he's referancing older things, he's still remaking the movement himself! And no, older games have to be remade as well, no copying from stedium.
Bro y’all are dense af if you actually think he’s “making” these animations
I love all of them. Especially Maractus since It was my favourite Pokémon (still is but with some other) from the day I caught it. The movement made it look so adorable that my heart melted but when the animation was kinda changed to more "relaxed", the energetic and adorableness spell fell with it. It made me upset and seeing it move like in the Pokédex entry makes my heart melt.
Great job! these little things make everything different. congratzz
I would say maybe decrease the speed of Hitmontop’s spin. Other than that, you and others are proving that a little extra effort goes a great distance.
Hitmontop does actually spin that fast. (I'm playing Pokepark right now and watched my this, he definitely spins pretty fast.) Maybe have him just normally stand with his little arm swing every once in a while, and then do a flip into spin to continue. Like Pokepark.
GalliantGallade 2005 Yeah that would be ok too. Any improvement is better compared to the base game.
he actually spins pretty fast in the anime so I’d say it’s quite accurate
NO SPEED IS LOVE
This is how I imagine Tyranitar considering he "eats mountains" and somehow manages to be shorter than that looney toon Dragonite.
well Tyranitar is canonally 6'7, whiling Dragonite is canonally 7'3
Other examples: Drednaw is 3'3, Florges is 3'7, Lucario and Infernape are 3'11, Drapion and Nidoqueen are 4'3 (the size of Clefable), Nidoking and Conkeldurr are 4'7, Alakazam, Gengar, Salamence, Krookodile and Grimmsnarl are 4'11, Blastoise, Machamp, Magmortar, Chesnaught and Kommo-o are all 5'3 (the size of Gardevoir)
EDIT: Tyranitar is 6'7. Not 6'3
@@goGothitaLOL I'll never take these sizes seriously. There's no way I'm taller than Charizard lol
@@AndersonMallonyMALLONY-EricCF Charizard is 5'7
@@AndersonMallonyMALLONY-EricCF the only reason charizard looked bigger was because he was always side by side to 10 year olds. An adult should outgrow him easily
@@goGothitaLOL *canonically* *while*. Wtf is whiling
Politoed went from a "meh" pokemon to "I need to give this lil guy a hug" in exactly 4 seconds
Your improved animations are soooo good, they're making me even angrier at GF for being lazy and incompetent
I rather Hitmontop just spin when he gets thrown into battle
But don't you think it'd be good when he spins and then stops a bit and glances at enemy and then spins again...
Maybe not a constant spin, but what about every ~10 seconds he spins for a bit then switches to the stepping animation, then repeats?
@@thenamtiddies7126 nah
Or just spins one time stops for two seconds...then spins again for next 3 seconds...and then stops for next 3 seconds and then repeats...
same
I think the best idle animation for Hitmontop would be a combination of the two. For it to spin for a brief moment, and then flip and go back to standing. It seems like a Pokémon that would be active like that and changing up its movements.
Yes, I very much agree
I agree
Same for Wingull imo. Let it stay on Ground then go fly for a while (and while attacking) then go back to sitting down.
Hitmontop: *gets in a battle*
Hitmontop: now it's time to get funky
to be honest, I really liked your old wingull animation. It reminded me of pokepark, where wingull would roost just like that when it wanted a rest from all the flying. Great job!
DistantKingdom actually fixes the bland animations
Gamefreak: Wait, that's illegal
Wait showing a general audience that we can actually put In more effort?! Ok boys ready that undeserved takedown
czcams.com/video/-9Lcjt13Ytk/video.html :D
Alviss Alfred can you stop spamming or report
This was supposed to be a meme or anti-meme?
You deserve a like for naming the wingull "peeko"
Btw can u improve the animations for charmander?
Would be great to see a charmander burning the grass with his tail, realizing that, and stomp on the ground to stop the fire
@@torquevonthorne948 Tbh that would be obnoxious. Maybe if Charmander did that once upon leaving the Pokeball, but if he did that repeatedly, then it would get VERY annoying.
Starmie’s “idle dance” could be where it stands on its back star and spins it’s front once, then gets back on its front and gets back to spinning
Insane how much such little changes can do. Great work, we can only hope the curse of static pokemon is someday lifted.
I feel like hitmontop should start standing and do a short spin before transitioning back onto his feat, kinda like someone who's breakdancing and about to do a headspin
Or maybe it starts spinning when it does an attack
or maybe BECOME THE TRUE BABLADE
Totally agree!!
I definitely like Hitmontop standing and only getting on his head to attack. Watching him spin or balance like that makes me nauseous
czcams.com/video/-9Lcjt13Ytk/video.html :D
@@alvissalfred7688 stop
I prefer hitmontops standing animations, since we see him doing some kapoeira movements
The Hitmontop at the end was beautiful!! It really stood out! Maybe a little slower spin speed but it really brought hitmontop to life again. My other fav was Politoad. Wow... like the disrespect of animation on that poor frog. U gave it life again too.
That song int he background while starmie spins will forever get me hyped
Eyy shiny maractus
I haven't seen that in several years now???
@Stoned Retard They're super underrated ngl
Shiny maractus is really nice, the vibrant pinks and greens really matches the Pokémon’s extatic and excited nature imo, also it just looks nice
*SALSA!*
I feel like, if possible it'd be better if wingull goes into the origami state if he goes below 50% health. Doing it all the time feels a bit over the top
Yeah, origami wingull is too cute to discard entirely.
Nobody:
Starmie in Stadium 1: Cha cha real smooth
One of the best examples of the previously ment dynamic pose would be toxicroak. I love that thing
2 things :
A : I preffer the static sudowoodo anyways, it just seems more natural for it
B : I preffer hitmontop how it is today, and it looks kinda jarring seing it constantly spinning. I suggest it sometimes does a little upsidown spin, but is most of the time with its current animation. The reason this animation is good is because one of the main inspirations for hitmontop is Capoeira, and in Capoeira people usually do hitmontops movement when they arent attacking.
Yeah, I really think that the reference hitmontop is doing is interesting and a smart move from pokemon company, so it's probably good already, but I think a sudowoodo dancing it's more funny, it's like a twerking tree
DK: "I fixed Pokémon animations, part 2"
Me: *Glare to the Tyranitar and the Wailord at the start of the video* "Ehm... Everything is fine here" ( ° v°)6
Hes obviously not done lol
Where's the Wailord?
@@spoonyliger8587 on the background
If I was able to, id literally pay to have you fix the game, you make everything look so good and definitely fills what's missing in the games
I loved how you used Miror Bs Colosseum theme for Maractus
-I liked origami Wingull!
-I need animated Marractus and Ludicolo double battle now
-I liked the dancing Hitmontop more, but if you could slow it down and open his eyes, it would look better. I particularly liked the Stadium with the slight slow wobble so its not too distracting but I get that might be a whole other level of challenge.
-PLEASE FIX LUGIA!! 😂
8:17 I would prefer Hitmontop only spinning when attacking. That stays like a balanced top in non action stances and start spinning when performing a move
yeah same, i really liked how he looks in colosseum/XD
6:59 I LOVE THAT SO FUCKING MUCH I LOVE IT
YOU JUST MADE MY FAVOURITE EVOLUTION EVEN BETTER
That spinning hitmontop is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, thank you so much for this blessing
While the animations are great, a couple of them, like Maractus, would benefit from using the gamefreak as a standard idle and your lively animations as the idle that plays after a few standard loops. Having so much energy constantly is a bit distracting, but in combination I feel it works perfectly to keep the focus on the gameplay, but have that lovely flair that isn't as present in modern games.
I think Colosseum did that sort of thing as well.
Also I LOVE your color changes and outfits if they are custom as well. I never beat the whole game so I can't remember lol, but some of those shinies definitely look much better!
and so does Battle Revolution, it does what you suggested too (except that do the idle that normally plays after a few loops, at the start of every single turn and then they do the standard loop)
Agreed. A happy middle-ground between these different animations would be great. Like, say, Skarmory and Corviknight from the last video being on the ground, but then flap their wings and go airborne for a few seconds before landing again. I feel like that would make it seem a lot more organic an visually pleasing than strictly one or the other.

"The lovable *SUH-DOO-WOO-DOO"*
Yes i hate that he pronounces it like that
I thought he was saying it wrong to be funny but then he said it again...
Incredible, after animation fix, it feels more Pokemon! And it was well done! I wish the hitmontop would at least pause and spin again
I kinda love how "alien" the ultrabeasts are, and how they're a bit too 'off' to feel like Pokemon. Because they aren't! They're these alien creatures from another dimension. They're hostile and dangerous. I LOVE that.
This proves two things .
1: Shinys are better than normal Pokemon.
2: People at Gamefreak/ Pokemon Company must be really really lazy.
2.5: They should stop overworking their employees
EDIT: i got so many likes! Usally i get like five-
Nah, just don't like spending money on making their game aesthetically pleasing
I'm starting to think more like the people working at Game Freak are tired and overworked, as they haven't taken a rest in releasing Pokémon title since Or/As I think
Yeah, I agree with Vlaze... it's more likely that they're being overworked and underpaid, and they can't brush up animations and models more because the games were rushed out to coincide with the anime
@@VlazeSkylax Man, Genius Sonority was 24 employees at its peak.
What Gamefreak does with 140 employees is beyond merely being tired.
Well the sheer scale of pokemon is something else entirely making the models and animating over 800 of them is a big job no matter how you look at it and that's just for battles
I don’t really think a lot of these animations should be the permanent animation, but rather a random, quick idle animation or an entering animation
Star or is my absolute favorite pokemon. I caught a shiny one in Pokémon X and have brought it with me in every game I could. It’s my contest star and champion of multiple leagues. I never realized how much I missed the spinning back star animation! Thank you for breathing some life back into Starmies animation, love it so much!
I think that hitmontop looks cool doing the capoeira moves while standing and then spinning when it attacks
