    When you begin a battle, your character throws a "ball" even though it's the Pokemon following you?

    I think that's odd... :p
     
    That's true, I never thought about that, lol.
     
    I don't think.....I have been knowing it just the index finger, not a ball. Yes, it will throw out a ball if you are surfing, on a bike or for the reason the pokemon is not behind you. sometimes it is too big to be indoor. :p
     
    It doesn't if you look closely he doesn't release the ball instead he does the animation or some weird point thing
     
    They actually don't, if you look closely. If you put a ball capsule on your lead Pokémon, it won't activate. The backsprite of your trainer simply points in the same action as they do throwing a ball, but you never see one being thrown.
     
    I find that odd, why the animation without the ball? It seems odd. o.O

    I guess it's one of those small quirks or that the programmers were too lazy. :p

    I'll repeat it again [I probably didn't type it out coherently].

    I meant about the animation as if the trainer was going to throw a ball. It's out of place since as you said, it is already out.
     
    They should have done it the way Yellow did it with Pikachu.
     
    I did notice it and also that if you recall the lead pokemon they just kind of slide off the screen, not go into a ball. I think they did the whole point thing, because the designers/programmers didn't want to redo/ redraw a new sprite for your character from the back (basically they were lazy).
     
    If the Pokemon is already following you, he doesn't throw the Pokeball, instead he points out basically saying "Go for it buddy", which I find it pretty sweet. More original than the other games IMO.
     
    I like that, but yeah it seems a little awkward when he's "pointing out" the pokemon.
     
    What else could they be doing? Skip two generations of progress and just have the trainer come back without animating? Or insert a custom animation that would probably end up looking just the same?

    What they did is honestly the coolest choice in my opinion.
     
    To me, it looks like it's just sliding in. I think it goes in without the ball.
     
    It is jumping in without the ball unless you're surfing or riding a bike. Oh and when you're in a place the pokemon is not allowed to be outside.

    That's been established.
     
    I actually like it how he character seem to tell "Go pal!", is better than the throwing-the-pokeball-animation (i think).
     
    It looks like he's doing the finger-pointing thing from Ace Attorney except he's shouting "GO PAL!" rather than "HOLD IT".

    Oh gosh. Now I imagine Gold/Lyra pointing in the "Objection!!" way. :laugh:
