Game Freak is a small indie company Fans criticize Pokemon Scarlet and Violet s battle animations
By Spencer Whitworth Modified 05 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been met with some familiar criticism (Image via Game Freak) Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are only a few months away, releasing on November 18, 2022. However, fans are returning to the point of contention they've sounded off on in the past: in-game battle animations. Centro LEAKS@CentroLeaksAnother example of how battle animations are worse in #ScarletViolet compared to #PokemonLegendsArceus twitter.com/Lewchube/statu…Lewtwo@Lewchubereally wonder why theyre deciding to remove the movement from contact moves8270536really wonder why theyre deciding to remove the movement from contact moves https://t.co/AEX95F0JH6Another example of how battle animations are worse in #ScarletViolet compared to #PokemonLegendsArceus twitter.com/Lewchube/statu… Since the successful release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, many trainers in the community have hailed the title as a step forward in animations, battle included. However, some are considering the in-game animations of Scarlet and Violet to be lacking, with Twitter user @Lewchube remarking that even physical contact moves don't exhibit contact between opponents any longer. In response, user @pory_leeks sarcastically referred to Game Freak as "a small indie company" that would be "incapable" of implementing Legends: Arceus’ standard of battle animations to the upcoming Generation IX titles.

Pokemon GO Battle animation criticism stokes an old problem for Game Freak
Larvitar and Pikachu face off in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Image via Game Freak) Game Freak's release of footage of Pokemon battles in Scarlet and Violet has surely opened an old wound for some players in the fanbase. In previous games such as Generation VIII's Let's GO! series and the Sword and Shield titles, Game Freak received criticism for recycling battle and idle animations of various Pokemon that were previously seen in Pokemon GO. Game Freak weathered the criticism, with the respective titles resultingly still selling well, but a segment of the fanbase never forgot the controversy. Some players have even remarked that Scarlet and Violet's battle animations are a step back after the progress made in Legends: Arceus. seth ?@squishyboyseth@eskamoo00_alex @CentroLeaks this is quite literally objectively worsephysical moves should do physical damage
