I made NEW animations for Pokémon to make them look better.

This is basically a showcase of my animations and re-texturing project for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Hope you like it!

"Battle! vs Cyrus" theme remix by ArkoVGM:

I'm also working on the Pokemon Luminescent romhack for BD/SP!

It's so weird to see 3D Pokémon stand on the ground instead of awkwardly hovering in the air like puppets on strings.

The pikachu battle pose brings so much energy to the creature! I can't believe gamefreak hasn't changed it yet, given it's their mascot!

[steel]

That Pikachu battle stance is what I'm talking about, they need to make these pokemon look fierce like they about to throw down

[SirJoeDoe]

Honestly this brings so much life into them. I saw a TikTok of someone making the Pokemon more vibrant in colour like they use to in the DS/GBA era and honestly that and this paired would be perfect. GF need to sort this out

[chriskoloski]

It's a bit weird to learn that gamefreak themselves technically dont make the models and animations, instead they're made by creatures inc

Imagine the most successful franchise of all time actually....you their games.

I love how Honchkrow just laughs using dark pulse
It actually feels really natural

[Blaizk]

I actually think I like flying Ho-oh better than standing, but literally everything else is phenomenal. This is amazing.

[TakinDrasticMeasurez]

I’ve always thought every Pokemon needs its own unique battle stance instead of standing there looking cute while fire, water, ice, and bombs are being thrown around the field. That one you did for Pikachu is exactly what it needs.

I know Luminescent devs said they aren’t doing the Distortion World, but you can’t just show me a Cyrus fight in the Distortion World and not give me a little bit of hope…

[ShadowmanJaxson]

I do believe that some of these (or most of, if not all of them) are inspirationed from Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 for the N64 (Maybe Coliseum and Gale of Darkness too?). Granted, these are indeed far FAR better than what we've had so far in normal Pokemon games. So, kudos to you for implementing them. Keep up the good work.

Something about the ninetales i really love, displaying like a peacock during battles. Typhlosion's animations always kinda bugged me that his flames aren't on full blast constantly during a battle, only during certain attacks or whatever... I always thought it makes sense to have no flames in the features where you pet your pokemon etc, but in real life when my cat gets scared or cautious, her hair stands on end to look bigger and similar examples of this in nature make me think Gamefreak kinda dropped the ball on that one.... have not played the switch games yet so i have nothing to compare to but your updated animations here all look great, nice work!

[Voltaradragoness]

Stuff like this both amazes me and makes me feel so sad that the company who makes these games can't just do this. The dedicated AF fanbase has to. These animations are all so much better and give the pokemon both personality moreso, but the way they acknowledge their trainer just feels so much more sincere. Especially Pikachu's.

[plompedu]

Omg I absolutely love Giratina fading in and out of existence, it makes so much sense too

[adrianchriste]

These are absolutely fantastic! Feels much more cinematic and the expressions of the pokemon are pronounced. Bravo!

[gollymimus]

Very beautiful, getting some nostalgic feels like Pokemon Colleseum and Pokemon Stadium.
Keep up the great work!

[danielblaga]

I can recognise some of these as genius sonority animations (especially skarmory's and honchcrow's) Awesome work translating them.

[slateportraichu]

Sentret stands on its tail! So many mons return to their glory=3 Amazing, simply amazing=3

[Pie]

I’m reminded of Pokemon Stadium for the Nintendo 64. The Pokemon felt so alive because of the memorable and unique animations. Animations like these would be a huge improvement to their existing 3D. Thanks for creating this!

[Jamie_Ashe]

I need this to be Ninetale’s new animation immediately. Some of the fire types in 3D look goofy af
