Thanks again, RTB, for adding the new things.. Now, I have something to ask to everyone who can actually answer.. There is a thing bugging my mind lately, a thing i can't quite understand. What are effects like Paralysis, or even moves like Thunderbolt etc made of? Particles? Or something else? I can't imagine the guys at GF producing particles for moves, but this is just my assumption, and I could be wrong. And, if the case is I am wrong, is there any good tutorial about doing such particles?
What makes me unsure is, if Thunderbolt is something particle-like, then what about moves like Follow Me or Metronome? Thanks in advance to whoever can answer this, I know it's quite the difficult subject
