The Gen 9 Move Animation Project

[KRLW890]

This project is a successor to the discontinued Gen 8 Move Animation Project led by St. Cooler, which itself was an extension of Pokemon Reborn's animations (full credits at the bottom).
However, this isn't just the Gen 8 project with Gen 9 moves added! The Gen 8 project had very little organization for how it ordered the move list, and since it was made for v18.1, some of the animations were broken when imported to more modern versions. Both of these have been fixed, with all moves grouped by generation and broken animations fixed so they work in versions 20.1 and 21.1 (yes, this project is compatible with both versions!).

Spoiler: Installation instructions

To install all animations, first go into your project's Data folder and make a backup of the PkmnAnimations.rxdata file, especially if you've already made some custom animations (additionally, you might want to export any custom animations for easy importation later). Next, download the .zip file if you haven't already and unzip it into your project's root folder. To finish it off, you'll need to recompile your game, and after that, you should be good to go.

If you just want to import some specific animations, rather than overwriting your PkmnAnimations file, the easiest way to do that would be to follow the above instructions on a copy of your game / Essentials, export the animations you need, and then move and import them to your main project.

---

This project is incomplete. We've already made some great progress on Gen 9 moves, and the Gen 8 project left very few moves from Gens 1-8 without animations, but there's still a few left that need attention:

Spoiler: High-priority moves

Happy Hour
Meteor Beam charging turn
Hard Press
Hydro Steam
Ivy Cudgel x4, one for each type
Mighty Cleave
Tachyon Cutter
Tera Blast

Spoiler: Low-priority moves

Different animation for Present healing

All shadow moves

All LGPE exclusive moves

Z-Moves:
10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt

All Dynamax and GMax moves

Starmobile moves:
Blazing Torque
Combat Torque
Magical Torque
Noxious Torque
Wicked Torque

If you'd like to contribute, just choose one of the moves above and then post a comment with the required files attached; this means the .anm file and any required graphics/audio if you're not just using assets already included in the project.
If you want to contribute but don't know how to make animations, please read the Essentials docs, make experiments by yourself to familiarize yourself with the tool before asking for help.

Btw, small nitpick but... StCooler made a mistake when crediting me. Its DarrylBD99 not DarryBD99

Hey! Thank you, the Reborn team, and everyone else who contributed for this incredible resource.

From the most recent update, an error arises when using Tectonic Rage (Z-Ground) and Savage Spinout (Z-Bug): TypeError "nil can't be coerced into integer"

From the error message, I have an idea of what might be causing the issue, but I wasn't able to recreate the crash in v21. I'll try to fix what I think is causing it, though I won't be able to test it myself. Do the other newly added Z-Moves also have this issue or just those two?

I've only tested Z-Rock, Z-Steel, Z-Poison and those two but no issues arose for the former. Only Tectonic Rage and Savage Spin-Out caused issues.

I was able to replicate it on v21, just went straight to battle editor, loaded and played it and there it was.
I don't know what fo[2] and fo[3] is supposed to hold but I added a next when they don't exist in the appropriate places and it got rid of the error while the move animation continued without any problem and seemingly okay.
It seems it was just before that white glare in the ground z move and before the red glare in bug z move.
