Pokémon Stadium: All Fainting Animations

[@Tbmeanz]

There was so much love and care put into the animations in this game. They gave all the Pokémon so much personality

[@hampterland]

And then modern Gamefreak Thanos Snaps the Pokedex to make "advanced" animations that they're just reusing from the 3DS

[@hampterland]

@Floofie kun apparently it was a mistranslation and the person who said that they're remaking the models didn't even read the article. Apparently Gamefreak was talking about the new content they're putting in the game in place of the National Dex

[@hampterland]

Notice how every single animation makes the pokèmon more natural, little touches like squirtle retracting on its rotating shell, beedrill falling like a leaf, jiglypuff becoming a flat ballon (and the other 149) or the thump the pokèmon make when fainting varying on their size added impact and importance to EVERY SINGLE member of your team.

You kids ain't going anywhere in life with these "better than" comments lol. You kids don't know that thumbs up doesn't benefit anyone lol

Kangaskhan will always have the best fainting animation

[@hokumpoke]

9:36 I hate the fact that you can literally hear it scream in pain

[@billy-the-butcher]

On the contrary I love it

dratini goes hard literally and figuratively

[@ToyosatomimiNoMikoTaoism]

Figuring it out with the animations for getting hit and fainting to go off, Jynx didn't have black skin originally, it was just the void. Explains why it leaves behind only the wig, and why the eyes fly off when she gets hit. You stare into the void and the void 0o0s back.

[@bilis2866]

love how cartoonish her animations are on here, the lips moving erratically and completely detached, sadly the void concept is not part of her anymore now the void is actual skin

[@littlekitsune1]

They all look like overdramatic anime deaths and I love it. Man, I miss these games...

[@X6800]

HOLY CRAP Mewtwo defeated all the Pokemon! Even himself!!!

[@elmerluzero3puertastechito501]

no, because he's lvl 100...and the others were lvl 50?...still he could have ran out of moves...and used struggle which would probably made him faint...no logic...but it's crazy still, who was the trainer that had 151 pokémon at the same time instead of 6... :/

[@promisnwekenta9703]

@@elmerluzero3puertastechito501 you really thought mew2 fought against all pokemon in a single battle!? DUDE the max is 3 vs 3.

[@JbSprinkles]

The awkward moment when a 22 year old game has better animations then Swords and Shield. Is it really that hard to just copy all animations from the stadium games lol?

[@funnyman8161]

Yes. More trouble than it's worth I presume. If it's even possible at all

[@laurarosetemar2180]

sad😢😢

[@ojbros1383]

It’s possible, but hasn’t been done since the wii

[@GT-wj3gl]

@@funnyman8161 actually many, if not all, of these animations were updated and reused in Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, and then in Pokémon Battle Revoltuion. I think what sets that apart from Sword and Shield is that these animations were actually good, got updated and used with updated models of older Pokémon, and new expressive animations were added for the then new Gen 3 and Gen 4 Pokémon.

Jynx: weave; *_flew_*

[@hyrulehero2773]

You know why you're here.

[@HKip]

Nostalgia. I don't care about the new Pokémon games.

[@Mr.Tw1sty]

Because I like the animations

[@yorithevillain4501]

9:07 Pinsir couldnt hack the dab

[@ciaragarrity6425]

The kicking and fainting animations were so impossible but they were done so explain why this cant be remade

[@cameronb8988]

Ciara Garrity 700+ compared to 151

[@hampterland]

They could at least try to put in effort for them. Maybe spend more than a year on development?

[@promisnwekenta9703]

It can be easily remade, don't justify laziness and stop being happy with getting crap, when you pay 60 bucks for a game and you SHOULD get better.

[@alexbrown8900]

Ciara Garrity Peta would call if they see pokemon faint like that

[@hampterland]

@@alexbrown8900 no one takes PETA seriously :v
