All Trainers, considering the sprite we saw animated in the trailer was one of a normal trainer.

Serperior is said to have gained a new animation in the video where it's battling both the Kyurem formes.

Anyway we saw in the scans they were using the old sprites. Not to say anything in them is final (Excadrill was a different color in his initial scan appearance) but as everyone else said, too much work for a company as lazy as Game Freak.

The 2D sprites are a characteristic feature of pokemon. Personally i'd hate it if they switched to 3D but it might as well happen one day.

It's nice to see normal trainer animations, and gives a little more character to the trainer, so I guess that's a nice addition. I'm not too upset about no sprite changes, but who knows - there may be some. Either way I wasn't expecting 3D models or anything.

Jellicent♀ April 14th, 2012 7:39 AM

I'm hoping they jazz up the male Ace Trainer's look, tbh. But the thought of every trainer being animated really excites me. It gives them just that little bit of extra character that I've always been looking for.

Pokemon wise, I think the most they would change is the battle movement animation. Different poses, different movements. Not entirely sure how the backsprites will look, but from the look of things it seems that they kept it somewhat the same.

Livewire April 14th, 2012 9:32 AM

I really want new sprites, if not back sprites, certainly front ones. Especially for some of the older generation Pokemon that are still rocking crappy Platinum sprites. :/

Zelda April 14th, 2012 4:20 PM

So it appears there will be changes in the Pokémon animation! Between the battle of the female protagonist and the rival, I noticed Oshawott would catch its shell.

I'm really hoping that Clefairy isn't such a fatty anymore.
Omgosh, the thought of Oshawott catching its shell is actually cute. <3
I wonder if Snivy looks a little more smug, like, as if it would be flipping it's invisible hair using its hands.

Snivy was in that battle, but I can't exactly remember what the animation was like... :[ I could totally picture it doing that though.

I imagine Tepig cutely springing up and down for some reason. :3

Oh gosh, Tepig jumping up on its hind legs and plopping right back down would be adorable. <33 Sniff the ground like a piggy for a bit, and then jump up on its legs. EEEE~ <333

KingDrapion April 14th, 2012 4:44 PM

Liking the opinions guys/girls. But the sprite I want gamefreak to change the most is Black Kyurems. Just have a look at it here and you'll see why I don't like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUMwhGvwjG4&feature=g-all-lik&context=G280690bFAAAAAAAACAA
But atleast they made white kyurems sprite look ok.

Raichupacabra April 14th, 2012 6:50 PM

Snivy jumps a bit and raises its head. You could also tell it's different because it opens its mouth as opposed to this where its mouth stays shut.

I'm hoping they make some of the older Pokemon's animation better, like they could make Politoad and Semistoad jump up and down like actual toads.

In the footages we have seen, the Unova starter pokemon have gained new animations. So yes, it will be most likely that all Unova pokemon will be revamped with new animations.

Twilight-kun April 14th, 2012 7:36 PM

did they animate all trainers or just a few?

They announced that all trainers will be animated, as opposed to just a few. Which really makes me that much more ecstatic. <333

649 April 14th, 2012 8:15 PM

Dude okay look not all pokemon are animated, just the starters.

Reshiram and Chandelure stay the same.

This may not be final version however.

Pretty exciting to have that change tbh. Just having a boring trainer, motionless, releasing a moving Pokemon seems kind of... illogical. I'm interested in seeing the other animations though. :3 Hopefully for the football players they show them catching a ball or something!

Oh goodness yes. I thought it was just...kind of dumb not to make the trainer even a little animated. I'd love to see the cheerleaders' animation! Jumping around and shouting at the top of their lungs.

Yes, trainer animations ftw. It's a shame that they still don't throw the Pokéball when they're sending out a Pokémon though.

I imagine the Parasol ladies spinning their umbrellas, the Maid trainers bowing, and the Cheerleaders waving their pompoms around...this will all be fun. :D

Don't think they'll spin their umbrellas, maybe move them from the side to in front of them, but spinning seems kinda un lady-like. XD;

Only problem is we won't hear shouting ;x

It is very lady-like! It's a popular thing. I've seen models modeling with umbrellas do it. Okay.

I'm hoping that all of the Pokémon get new animations, if not new sprites. Just like the trainers, it will be interesting to speculate what they will do!

SnowpointQuincy April 14th, 2012 9:10 PM

I have a feeling only the 3 starters will get new, cute, animations.

Loving the trainer animations, if only they did this in 2007 with diamond.

KingDrapion April 14th, 2012 11:58 PM

You can see clearly the new sprite animations for the starters here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH995Q1-HG8&feature=g-all-u&context=G280690bFAAAAAAAACAA

Zelda April 15th, 2012 8:32 AM

Oshawott does indeed show off its little seashell! Snivy's is okay, better than the original animation at least.

I want Tepig's animation to hop up and down. :<
