POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Tellis]

The only worry I have with that is that it probably means that trainer animations are out, meaning we have the silly looking "Pokeballs from nowhere" seen in the Pokemon Stadium games, instead of the trainer throwing their Pokemon out (which um, is kind of one of my favorite animations in the sprite games, honestly).

And this seems pretty likely because there's been absolutely no sign of trainers in any videos or screenshots of battle we've seen. Which is super dumb because even Colosseum, XD and Battle Revolution had the trainers standing on the battlefield. I mean, I can see the reason being that the overworld and battles aren't on the same scale (the Pokemon models have much more detail than the overworld trainer models, and Gogoat's overworld model is visibly different than its in battle model), and to make two models for every trainer is a bit of a hassle but I can't help being a bit disappointed.
