New Pokémon B/W Battle video

[RupeeClock]

*SHOCK*

*GASP*

*AWE*

Fully animated sprites in battle!

Edit: There's moar.

 

[The Pi]

looks ok i guess

 

[jgu1994]

Looks shitty tbh. The sprites just look like they're a wireframe and each part is moving as opposed to real fully animated sprites that are done frame by frame. They just look like ragdolls in terms of movement. While animating every pokemon frame by frame would obviously be time consuming, this really just doesn't look good.

WOAH DUDE

Seems a bit trippy though, Lets just hope they haven't over done it...

Hell, at least they're not static now.

 

[Big Kong Boss]

I'd rather have the static look than the "butt rape" look.

This is awesome. Maybe the Pokemon animations need some polishing but so far they look ok.

 

[GameSoul]

lol, what do they look like when they run away. also i agree the animations arent very good

What about when they faint?
Yeah the animation's a little jerky, but it's a start.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

I'm digging the moving sprites, even though they look a bit like ragdolls now it is cooler than having just static sprites. GO TEAM POKEMON (or whatever the fuck they're called)!

 

[weiHe]

Guess they are keeping the traditional look.
They really dont want to add anything new do they?

 

[anaxs]

improved than before

 

[Porygon-X]

LOLz. Ragdoll Pokemon.

 

[Slyakin]

I like it, unlike you guys...

 

[GameWinner]

cool I like this!!

 

[DarkWay]

better than the static crap but this is still....crap

"A start" on animated battles in 2010? We're not talking about the SNES, here. While this is a slight (and I do mean slight) improvement on what we've got (and I imagine the DS isn't capable of very much more, given how large a game Pokemon already is), it's still a long ways from wowing me, personally. I still maintain B&W should've been 3DS games. Enough of the DS, already.

Shouldn't we be happy that we've even got animated battles? They could have just left it as normal.

Haha, someone doesn't know what a wireframe is.

That said, this is Pokemon.

 

[KingVamp]

is ... showing improvement ... i guess ...
