Your wish for Pokemon changing has been granted.

Pokémon Sunday has just aired and has shown that the battle system is as adaptive as we predicted. In battle, in a variety of instances, the camera will move around and zoom in/out as the situation dictates. In addition to that, as seen in screenshots, the sprites are animated so the battles are not going to be as static as they have been the last fourteen years. These animations take place when attacking and while waiting for the moves to be selected and not just when the Pokémon is put into battle.

EXCITEMENT O__O!!!!!

Seriously though, this is a good step. I'd say a long overdue step, but at least it's there.

Had to turn off sound. Is that really what good publicity is like in Japan?

The animations may be simple, but it's a start. If there'll be unique animations for appearing, idle, attacking, item use and taking damage, that's cool. And by unique, I mean no shitty sprite stretching and wobbling.

Y'know honestly the male protagonist looks to much like Red... and the girls hair is kinda dumb...

I agree with parts of this.

A lot of old-time Pokemon fans fit that to a T. So much that it's really annoying.

Ain't that the truth. Good thing I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I'm always up for anything new.

I saw this entire conversation coming. I even know that T will now answer saying he figured you knew that.

I don't know if it is mentioned before in the thread, but is that different camera-angle thing really new? They also used it in HG/SS at the lighthouse i believe.

Anyway... i don't know if i'm looking forward to it... D/P's pokemon were awful... and R/S's pokemon weren't really great either... they run out of ideas.

To me, the fact that they only used it there seems more like them testing the waters with a new idea.
