ever wondered why pokemon don't move at all while they were battling? that was a huge burning question in my mind as a child, as i wondered why some of the most powerful attacks had nearly the same attack animation as tackle. despite the recent technological advancements, the creators of pokemon still has yet to publish the RPG game with 100% in-battle animation, all different based on different attacks.

so, ever wondered how a real pokemon game battle would look like?

look no further. enjoy.

an affection for visual violence is no virtue. every game should be visually streamlined for the safe consumption of little girls. i much prefer pokemon the way it is, possible improvements include flowers and other beauty contest material.

Oh my god imagine if real pokemon battles were like this. It would be like adding an element of skill into the RPG. Or even just have a combat system more similar to Super Smash Brothers so it's a lot simpler to execute the (max of 4) moves that you taught each pokemon. There could still be levels obviously, and it would basically still do exactly the same thing.

Edit: Ok yeah pokemon takes a little bit of skill but it's a completely different skill set (100% planning, the execution is simple enough for a 2 year old)

Gen V is almost fully-animated. Besides turning Pokemon into a fighting game like that would completely kill it. As a turn-based RPG, it's one of the most deep and strategic games around. I think Pokemon as a fighting game could be awesome, but it definitely SHOULD stay as a turn-based RPG.

Also you goddamn cheater, everyone knows that Blaziken is banned.

Have you ever played/watched Pokemon competitively? It takes a whole new level of planning, strategy, and mind games that no two year old could ever comprehend.

I turn off battle animations anyway, because they take up too much time. If I wanted to see fully animated Pokémon battles, I'd watch the show, but the graphics are not the crux of the franchise. As long as my EV training and chain breeding pays off, I'd be fine with animation quality reminiscent of Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Taking off my serious cap for a bit, nice video. Gave a few chuckles.

Yep, same here. And for animations, there was always Pokemon Stadium for the N64.

I think we are long overdue for a true Pokemon MMORPG. Artosis said it best when he said "I'd quit my job and basically my life to become the ultimate Pokemon Master, Tasteless" or something to that effect :D

I like pokemon for the strategy game that it is. I really don't want the RPG fighting system in pokemon. Doing anything would take forever too!

Where can I get this game??? It makes me actually want to play pokemon again. When I was little, this was how I would imagine the fights taking place.

As a turn-based RPG, it's one of the most deep and strategic games around.

You realise pokemon is a game made so that 8 year olds can beat it, right?

Yet its competitive scene has so many variables. 8-year-olds can beat the Starcraft campaign as well.

lmfao good point. it would be pretty boring if pokemon were real and they took turns hitting each other with their faces untill one fell down.
This is a much better way! real time pokemon!

You realize that 8 year olds could beat most games, including Starcraft, right? I guess Starcraft is for kids.
