    Hey, I'm Karpman. Alright, so basically the battle system got a revamp in the 5th Gen, now being fully animated and the backsprites showing a full shot of your Pokemon. So, in comparison to the static battle system featured in the 4th gen and back, how does the Animated battle system that we'll likely be seeing from now on, fare? Do you prefer it to the old battle system, or do you like it better?
     
    Personally, I like the animated battle system in B/W because it's fitting to the "new beginning" theme of B/W because it had never been done in a main-series game. However, the static battle system feels good in the older games because it reminds you that you're playing the older classics.
     
    I prefer the animated ones to the still ones. The only thing I don't care for is the back sprite of them. I always find myself liking when they did an animation of the overworld sprites on the team. Or when you looked at them on that Information page they had a slight movement upon opening up their info.
     
    I like the animated ones a lot even though at first the back sprites of my Pokemon really annoyed me due to it being a bit too pixel-----but I got over it and now I love it. So I prefer the animated ones.

    I like both the static battles and the animated battles equally, but the backsprites of the animated battles shouldn't have to be so blown up.
     
    Animated. It looks better than them moving and then standing still forever.
    I also like the moving screen when you're idle :)
     
    I like both, but the new animated scene is pretty awesome. I'm pretty excited to see more of it in the future.
     
    OMG SPRITES SHOULD ALWAYS BE ANIMATED!!! lol. It just feels stale if they are just sitting their lifelessly.
     
    Animated battles are more lively and I personally just think it's an awesome improvement from the static battles. And now that I think about it, the static battles have so little room in comparison with the animated battles.

    And animated sprites are always a +1.
     
    I like the animated battle system better. The sprites are more lively when they're moving. It seems more natural. It's a great improvement, and seems like an overall good idea. You can also see the personalities of Pokémon through their movements. The animated battles have more a larger space to move, so that's better for bigger sprites. Overall, I definitely like the animated system better.
     
    I love the animated sprites. Feels more like the actual action (lol) is going on. But don't get me wrong, I still like the static battling. But it just feels more like I'm there when the sprites are fully animated, especially now that they faintly shows their status color (red for burn, etc), they slow down when their HP is low, and they shut their eyes when they're asleep. Ya know, it's just cooler. But the static battles fit in their game. Obviously it'd be weird if sprites were moving on Red. lol
     
    You should left out the word "system" because the core battle system is just the same. Only their sprites that are moving but still there is no change whatsoever in the battle system, still turn-based battle. Should use the word "style".

    Which ever is fine. As long as the sprites have good looking with it.
