    Do you keep your battle animations on or off in the main series games? I keep mine on for the first playthrough and (usually) off for subsequent playthroughs, especially for early gen games, since it speeds battles up which I've already experienced. Especially true for challenge runs, which I do for the thrill of trying new things more than experiencing battle motions all over again.
     
    i keep them on. there are a few exceptions tho like the time i was playing platinum and had caught and evolved a male ralts and it took me forever to find him in the first place and my game fucking froze so i had to spitefully restart and find a new ralts. i turned off animations for that + grinding him back to where the other one was before i lost him. annoying af

    also any time i play DP, which is rare anyway, i turn off the battle animations. u kno why
     
    It never really crossed my mind to have them off, so I've always kept them on. :x I like seeing the animations, personally.
     
    I always leave them on, as I never even bother to go into options to turn them off. It would be weird to not see moves do anything animated wise, you know?
     
    I got weird'ed out when I turned it off once.
    But I turn it off when I was playing Silver on an emulator because it's much faster to train since you can speed things up as well hah.
     
    I like seeing the animations! By default they're on for me.

    But there have definitely been times where I've turned them off for grinding purposes. If I know I'm going to be fighting the same exact Pokémon for a long while and there's no chance of seeing anything new, I'll turn 'em off and get through the battle as fast as possible.
     
    I don't think I've ever actually turned them off. I know it would speed up shiny hunting but it's just not something I've ever bothered with
     
    its always off whenever I grind. turning it off for the whole game is just a wasted feature. the animations are like, the essence of battling hahaha.
