Trading annoyance
 
Why must the trading animation be so long? It's way over-the-top. The Pokemon comes out of your DS, into the sky, the two Pokemon meet up, it then falls out of the sky and into the other DS. It's completely unnecessary - in the original games it simply went through the cable and into your Game Boy - no fancy unnecessary animation.

I wish they could change it in Platinum, but they won't because if you trade from Platinum to Pearl/Diamond, you'd already have your Pokemon while the other player is still watching a long animation.

I'm guessing that's how long it takes the game to send the Pokemon data. There is alot of data it has to send, such as location caught, the ball, EVs/IVs, ribbons etc. So I don't think there is any faster way it can be done. And besides, this thread doesn't really serve any other purpose.
