5 Ways Pokemon Sword & Shield Could Have Been Even Better

New Animations

I know I said I was going to try and stay away from the common complaints, but this one at least is unrelated to the gameplay.

At this stage, on a Nintendo Switch that we know is capable of handling move animations that are more complex than stuff we’ve been seeing since Diamond and Pearl, it’s embarrassing that attack animations are as basic as they are.

Sure, Dynamax is a feast for the eyes, and maybe that’s where the budget for move animations went; I don’t know. But what I do know is that it’s getting really lame seeing the same old lazy attack animations.

My personal favorite: Cinderace kicks the opponent when you use Headbutt.
