Arceus was kind of a prelude to this. Pretty much all of the moves in Arceus were scaled back a bit because of the camera. There were a few great looking moves, don't get me wrong. Spacial Rend was great, so was Flamethrower. Doesn't mean I'm really thrilled about it though. I'm still going to get Inteleon, but considering what happened with Cinderace and its Pyro Ball, I'm not at all surprised that Snipe Shot was scaled back.
@@Ziluette Yeah, we hadn't seen that glorious feature since Battle Revolution! I've a bit of a theory about why it didn't make it into S/V. I don't think Gamefreak was expecting Arceus to do as well as it did. So when they saw the results, they scrambled to put what they could into the game, which is why crouching feels so shoehorned into the game, and why throwing a pokeball feels real rigid compared to Arceus.
@@dragonicmicrophone6594 No I think it's because GF has split into two teams doing different pokemon projects, one which is lead by Ohmori and one led by Iwao
He went from being a cold heartless sniper with a flair for theatrics, to a more realistic assassin that goes "Load it. Aim. Fire. Onto the next contract." I'm not complaining.
@@anthonybarbee5136 Less an excuse more so something I thought of. Is it better than the old one? Absolutely not. But at least it's not like Incineroar using flamethrower from its crotch.
I see it like that as well as it had the glair for aim. Lower his arm and snipes with his finger. Intelleon does indeed have the best unique animation. Even if scaled back
The special signature move animations are likely only included in the generation they're debuted in. I'm pretty sure when we get Gen 10 later, Flower Trick would have its downplayed version
That is very unlikely. It‘s most likely the same reason why stuff like field effects got toned down. Mainly, being able to freely move the camera during battles and having battles take place in the overworld. GF doesn’t want to risk the camera clipping into any geometry so they removed any animations which require certain camerawork to… well, work. I mean, just *look* at the gen 9 signature moves. None of them have unique camera angles, none of them have some crazy visual effects and none of them require the Pokémon to move around a whole lot/in any direction that isn’t a straight line towards the opponent. Meowscarada steps forward two steps and points at the opponent; reverse shot of the opponent getting a flower dropped on their head. Quaquaval jumps forward a bit and shakes it‘s hips (ugh); reverse shot of opponent getting hit with a unique water effect. Skeledirge stands up and sings into his bird/mic which sends out a projectile; reverse shot of opponent getting hit by said projectile. Now, for comparison, let‘s look at some of the previous gen‘s signature moves. Zoom-in on Cinderace kicking up a small pebble; pan back to fully show Cinderace turning the pebble into the titular Pyro Ball; dynamic shot of Cinderace delivering the final kick, giving the screen a slight orange hew. Side-shot of Inteleon focusing, closing it‘s eyes, lowering it‘s stance and adjusting it‘s „gun“; screen/background get‘s slightly darker (especially the top and bottom of the screen); quick-cut to a wide shot of Inteleon firing the shot with an added screen effect. Zoom-in on Rillaboom banging his drums; quick pan-out revealing the massive roots that the move summons; camera follows the roots as they approach the opponent; reverse shot of the opponent getting bashed by these (again, can’t stress this enough) huge roots. Let‘s do one final one. Zoom-in on Zacian‘s sword as it powers-up; the background turns completely black; shot of Zacian jumping into the air; shot from behind Zacian, showing it slashing the enemy; after the initial slash, multiple follow-up ones appear; shot of Zacian landing far away from the opponent; shot of Zacian looking away from the opponent, revealing the amount of small slices and leading to a giant explosion, easily eclipsing the opponent. It is quite obvious how toned-down the new animations are, when compared to those from the previous gen. THAT is the ACTUAL reason for why they decided to remove said animations.
I think Nintendo over simplified so many animations, and some of that is because of camera movement. I feel like they could of kept the animation but allowed the camera to revolve around it. (Depending on how they make the animation, if it's a model usually it has a set camera point) It's sad that the legendries get these super cool animations but older generation mons with just as animated moves get scaled back.
Fun fact: this animation is from when ditto transforms into inteleon. In swsh if you use this move as a ditto, it will have that animation. So it could be that they got this same animation from ditto and implemented to s/v
I love people saying that the animations were toned down due to the different camera, like we didn't just have Arceus which had the same thing and infinitely nicer looking animations. This wasn't dumbed down for the camera, it was dumbed down because Gamefreak are lazy.
I mean it’s not that bad. At least they retained his “I’m so skilled with shooting that I don’t even have to see my target” thing so I guess that’s a plus. *Now Spirit Shackle on the other hand…* 😈
They were just like: "Forget the bow, make him flap his wings a little, that's perfection". No. It's not perfection. My poor Decidueye deserves better.
I originally though that Pokemon Home will update to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet back February just like they did for Pokemon Sword and Shield until I've found out that it will be update in Spring instead. I'm begining to think that they're delaying Pokemon Home very late on purpose just so Gamefreak can have time to fix the bugs but I was expecting Pokemon Home will be update in April at last since they said at the start of Spring. But now I found out that Pokemon Home will be update later in July just to do Tera event of the Inteleon then Rillaboom, Chesnaught and Delphox ,seriously this isn't fair as I am very annoyed, furious and fed up😒 because I have been waiting very patient for 4 months for nothing.
Not really that justifiable of a point, but for competitive players, it may be better to wait it out more to play competitive before the hisui Pokémon go on a rampage like ursaluna. Putting into that perspective it is slightly acceptable but they said early spring and it’s now the end of April. We also only need 4 months without the hisui mons but currently it’s been 5 months and still counting. They probably will do it after rillaboom, chesnaught and delphox which I’m fine with. Keeps the hype up for those 7 stars and the wait will be worth it in my opinion. The wait was this brutal for BDSP and PLA as well but it was worth it in my opinion
The rumors are that there will be a Pokemon Presents soon (like Tuesday as of me typing this) and HOME update comes out sometime in May (a "leak" says the 15th but i refuse to believe TPC is that stupid to release the update the day Tears of the Kingdom comes out). We will see though.
it's not ruined, it's just the way the camera is in S/V, the attacks can't do the same tricks with a free camera. at this point people are just complaining about everything.
I think Game Freak should make two versions of each animations, one for field from player's POV and another for arena from camera's POV more in style of Stadium series. This would fix the present issues altogether and let Game Freak go min-max on both. (Though I dont know this seems "too much" from Game Freak standards these days.)
Yet another cut corner that gamefreak was forced to perform. The Pokémon company is too cruel on gamefreak making them ship major “AAA” content every year with a crew of only ~200 people.
At this point we all may as well forget about all the starters signature moves being awesomely animated for scarlet violet they dumbed down greninjas water shurikin decidueyes spirit shackle cinderaces Pyro ball now inteleons snipe shot what starter will fall into this same fate next 😑🤔
Not only inteleon, Cinderace and decidueye's are also nerfed animations. They when from a 9 to a 3 quickly. Wish Gamefreak made the animations like the paldea starters which have a good animation for there signature moves.
I'm pretty sure the only reason the move is like that is because they made all moves shorter length than previous generations to compensate the no turning off setting. If they didn't do that, pretty sure moves like rage fist, make it rain etc would have been longer
I wonder how it looks in the official Pokemon battle on battlefields like Gym's. The animations change a little bit because they are in fixed camera mode
I mean at this point in pokemon, scaling back on animation for signature moves is to be expected. The fact they went through the trouble of making it come out of his hand(claw?) is more than I expected honestly, so I'll take it.
I like that it's both faster and a lot more casual than in SwSh, but I will concede that as the signature move of a post-game timed exclusive the time save isn't worth it. edit: that said, it's still distinctly the same move, so Inteleon made it through the switch to battling in the overworld pretty cleanly compared to Decidueye, Samurott, and Cinderace
Feel like all signature moves were scaled back in order for the moves to flow well in this 1st full overworld pokemon games. Even the starters of this gen have move animations that are lackluster compared to the other starters debut in their own generation.
But every signature move animation gets removed when there's a new generation, they just try to make it similar. I understand why they do it. The real problem for me is that some pokemon should have maybe 3 or 4 animations. Not all of them, simple ones can remain the same, but fully evolved ones that we see for the majority of the game could. A pokemon like Charizard could have an animation for physical moves on the lower part of the body, for kicks or tail attacks, one for the upper part for punches, wing or head attacks, one for special attacks coming out of its mouth and one for special attacks coming out of its hands, like Focus Blast. I don't think it's too much to ask.
...................................................................................................................... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BOY INTELEON, HE DIDNT DESERVE THIS
Inteleon was my starter is sheild and when I saw this animation in a mixeli video I was extremely disappointed the finger animation isn't even synced properly!
Another move that was killed by animation was cinderaces pyro ball, one of the coolest in my opinion buuut just like what happened to snipe shot it also got very down graded which is sad .
I wont lie, I dont exactly hate how dumbed down the animations are. I just hate when they take something really good, like Dialgas move(forgot its name) and dumb it down to such a point that it might as well not exist.
I'm a little annoyed because the inteleon raid had came out yesterday for my timezone but i'm still getting the chansey raids. I don't know why. I've reset my game, switch and still getting them as a raid
I agree with you. Unfortunately, I’m this game with lag and camera control, they can’t do the whole set without the game lagging significantly. Like it is now
i don't know, both of them fit really well with their respective game's playstyles, and i like both. kinda weird that everyone's talking about sucky move animations for scarlet/violet but nobody said anything about the animations in legends, almost like some pokemon fans are biased...
How does one take it down with Annhilape? I tried like 3 battles and couldn't get passed the shield. It has Rage Fist, Brick Break, Drain Punch and Sunny Day
The reason animation is dumbed down is because Game Freak doesn't invest in programming good camera and game functionality. Look at other RPGs like Persona 5 Royal or SMT V. Those are turn based RPG too but the developers chose to put better effects and cut scenes into these attack animations. They're over the top and flashy in some cases, such as "showtimes" in P5R. Game Freak does not try to innovate their gameplay and make it more interesting. It's been 27 years that Game Freak has been making games and this is the best they've done in terms of improving their craft. I'm not trying to bash them when I make this statement; I'm just saying that they are definitely content with keeping their work where it is, and that's made abundantly clear from the quality of the products they put out year after year. If that's the kind of artist and developer they want to be, they can be that way. But as for the consumers out here, we can also clearly see what's going on. And some people are going to complain about it. Rightfully so.
That Sparkle that now appears in front of it's eyes imo is a little better cuz it's got that "Target Locked" face before it fires its move~ that's just my opinion tho!
bruh yall just accept that this is not this pokemon game its not the orginal 3 from this reagion and this mon wont get as much attention as main starters in any way beside just putting it in the raids
Is a second one more permanent I don’t have anything to say about these two the second one. Yes it does have some really really quick action if you need to act quickly, but the first one is just showing off for the first time or getting into great power or just sniping from long distance.
Can't wait to see how they scale back and ruin some of the legendary Pokémon's signature moves. Bet Behemoth blade is going to get completely butchered.
I feel like compared to all the other pokemon with signature moves that returned, intellion got the long end of the stick
looking at you spirit shackle
A heck of a lot better than what happened to Spirit Shackle, that’s for sure.

It’s almost as if the Pokémon in these special raids and transferable Legendaries aren’t the main focus of the story, since it’s all post-game stuff.
Look at how they massacred my boy…
the thing is, they had to downgrade EVERY animation so they fit betters in the open world style of scarlet and violet
Dang, I knew it would look worse but that's embarrassing. RIP Inteleon fans.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BOY INTELEON, HE DIDNT DESERVE THIS
They even ruined Cinderace’s Pyro Ball animated in Scarlet/Violet.
Inteleon was my starter is sheild and when I saw this animation in a mixeli video I was extremely disappointed the finger animation isn't even synced properly!
I mean imo it resembles Han shooting Greeto in episode 4 or it's like Inteleon is not even trying.
Another move that was killed by animation was cinderaces pyro ball, one of the coolest in my opinion buuut just like what happened to snipe shot it also got very down graded which is sad .
They did that with Cinderaces pyroball and Decidueyes shadow sneak
Oops nvm, it’s called spirit shackle
it looks ok to me,it reminds like of anime I used to watch that did the same animation so maybe I'm just used to that change?
Could you imagine how much space it would take to add all of the special animations? It would be like 1/3 game 2/3 animation.
I wont lie, I dont exactly hate how dumbed down the animations are. I just hate when they take something really good, like Dialgas move(forgot its name) and dumb it down to such a point that it might as well not exist.
8/10 to 5/10 IMO cause at least he moves his hands lol. Maybe because it's in the overworld they took away its initial style
I'm a little annoyed because the inteleon raid had came out yesterday for my timezone but i'm still getting the chansey raids. I don't know why. I've reset my game, switch and still getting them as a raid
I don't mind it. The less animation the better. I wish we could turn them off completely.
I agree with you.
Unfortunately, I’m this game with lag and camera control, they can’t do the whole set without the game lagging significantly. Like it is now
spirit shackle😭😭😭😭😭
i don't know, both of them fit really well with their respective game's playstyles, and i like both.
kinda weird that everyone's talking about sucky move animations for scarlet/violet but nobody said anything about the animations in legends, almost like some pokemon fans are biased...
I also love that people despised the length of the animations on z moves and with these much shorter and more faster paced moves they’re still unhappy
honestly i like the snipe shot animation better beacuse its more faster than the orignal
It also can't learn focus energy any more
I fear for Rillaboom Drum Beating.
Y'all upset about Cinderace and Inteleon but what about my boy Decidueye? The main aspect of its design was just cut out bro
TPCi should have ignored the critics about the graphics. 2D anime graphics do sell.
Look up 2DHD Pokémon remake on RUclips. They look so good!
Can we just look at the fact at 0:14 that we can see that his Inteleon is hacked?
That’s what I commented but he deleted it
Is nobody gonna talk about the hacked shiny 😭
Well, Decidueye 's Spirit Shackle is much worst....
Im devastated....
im gonna be honest, i was disappointed when i first saw its animation too
but ill never use inteleon anyway, so i guess it doesnt matter for me
How does one take it down with Annhilape? I tried like 3 battles and couldn't get passed the shield. It has Rage Fist, Brick Break, Drain Punch and Sunny Day
Bro they made Spirit Shackle look like a worse Shadow Ball 😭
The 8/10 to 3/10 comment made me choke xD like I was expecting it but it was said in the way I felt the disappointment man 😂😂😂 I feel so sorry brah
They do that because they are not the starters anymore
Remember when people said moves were unfinished because Pokemon hadn't been released yet? They must feel like this right now: 🤡
I think the animation change is ok compared to decidueye’s spirit shackle
I miss PLA attack animations
They came out in the same year.. wym you miss it?
Don't feel bad they screwed up Cinderace too. -_-
NgL it’s better than what happened with Decidueye
I mean it's still not that bad, I know I've used Inteleon SWSH but that animation (Scar/Vi) makes it look like a quick shot which is kinda funny to me
Cinderace: "First time?"
It could be worse, at least inteleon still has some if it's flare, cinderace lost all of it.

I think I started to dislike Nintendo when they started ruining peoples lives.
Honestly I think they focused too much on not breaking immersion that in ruined a ton of animations which is unfortunate but I understand why
i thought itd be worse, i still love the fruity lizard

I feel like they did Greninja the most dirty tho
how so? I don't have greninja in scarlet and violet so I don't know the animation changes they did for it
They did 'em dirty dawg
Is a second one more permanent I don’t have anything to say about these two the second one. Yes it does have some really really quick action if you need to act quickly, but the first one is just showing off for the first time or getting into great power or just sniping from long distance.
I'm not surprised at all tbh.
This game literally destroyed all moves animation, so I'm not surprised at all...
Can't wait to see how they scale back and ruin some of the legendary Pokémon's signature moves. Bet Behemoth blade is going to get completely butchered.
3/10 is too harsh. It was mostly sped up.
Not at all. It's less defined. The camera is more obnoxious
Inteleon is 1 of the many PkMn who got their animations badly nerfed
Its just one move not that serious honestly doesn’t affect gameplay or anything
Quick Shot 😔
I mean it was obvoius it was gonna be like that tbh
So... just accept it?
They did that with Decidueye too, they’re too lazy to make the classic battle Animations.
Honestly, I expected it to be worse.
But Scarlet and Violet is no short of disappointing animations. God, why?
Look how they massacred my boy.
