The Evolution of Pokémon Animations Over 17 Years.

Pokémon Battle Revolution, released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007, may not have been a great game, but it offered the most detailed combat animations the series had ever seen. Fans are now looking back at Battle Revolution with kinder eyes, as it had original animations for each Pokémon when they faint, and there are little touches in each Pokémon’s movements that convey a real sense of character. The game's animations are still considered better than those in modern 3D Pokémon games, despite Game Freak's claims of higher quality animations in recent games.
