Spinoff/Mobile Pokémon GO Animation update

So it does seem that Niantic does sometimes listen to the playerbase, or even care about them?! The 0.255 update has come with a load of changes to the animations in the game, meaning the gameplay experience as a whole has become so much smoother.

Have you had the chance to experience this yet and how has it improved the game for you?

No idea how I missed this thread but wow, this change is amazing. Not often does Niantic do things the players like but this has made the game so much better. Wish they would increase animation speed for Rocket battles at least (I understand it may not work for PvP battles since those are live) and we would be golden. I avoid my TR tasks because it's just too sluggish. Please!!
