Should the winged Pokemon be grounded again or do you prefer them in the air?
-
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a Skarmory should be able to fly.
-
Funny story, my mother used to hate when I played pokemon colloseum because she hated the idle animations and complained that the characters "needed to stand still" and that they "drank too much caffeine."

Average Gamefreak meeting:
“So what if we did what we did 20 years ago, but worse?” -
“If it’s got wings, it’s on strings!”
- Gamefreak, probably -
Gen 3: double battles
Gen 5: triple and rotation battles
Gen 6: what if battle, but in air -
Every flying Pokemon in a Gamefreak game: Y'all mind if i just T-POSE
-
I was at the beach once, and I saw a seagull flying the direction opposite to the wind. When saw it was essentially floating in place, I said, “Hey, that looks like some bird Pokémon’s idle animation!”
-
When i got XY i was so excited to use Skarmory in my team but i just couldn't keep her because it literally was just a model floating in the air :l
-
Black and White did the sprite animations perfectly, I miss those

Game Freak 2050:
Removes the Pokémon game for smiling animation -
I just now realized that your music choice was tied to the location you could first catch that pokemon.
Hats off to you my friend -
The 2D animations in Gen 5 were SO GOOD. Archeops clumsily flapping its wings trying to stay airborne, Cofagrigus' shadow arms retracting inside its coffin, Zebstrika's stripes shining yellow when he attacks, Ferroseed constantly spinning 360 degrees and Ferrothorn trying to stay attached to the ceiling with its vines. Now all these Pokemon look lifeless in the 3Ds and Switch games...
-
Don't worry. Skarmory was cut altogether!
-
Huh, all this time and I never realized Skarmory could flap its wings individually.
-
I actually like Electross's levitate animation. That's exactly how an Electross should get around.

DistiantKingdom: "Here is a proper animation from the era of the game cube"
*Colosseum Music Intensifies* -
These "blowing in the wind without flapping animations" would work if they were actually moving forward, but they're staying in the same spot, and even then birds flap their wings occasionally
-
Gamefreak: Partially owns and develops the highest grossing franchise ever
Also Gamefreak: Doesn't properly animate characters -
A bird: needs to flap wings to fly
Gamefreak: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that
