Smoothest pokemon animations.

[Poison Master]

Basicaly, which Gen had the smoothest animation sequenses when pokemon came out for battling. Personally, I think Gen II had the best.

 

[GoldeenTail]

The newer gen really have to win by defeat due to today's Technology with animation and graphics, but Gen III is my favorite.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Gens III and IV have really smooth animations. I haven't looked into the Gen V animations yet.

 

[Gligar13]

Gen 3. Smooth pokemon animations running @ 60FPS. And the attack animations were smooth (and fast) as well.

 

[Faye Scarlet]

I liked Typhlosion's, Xatu's, and Hitmontop's Crystal animations the best, even to this day.

I also like Blaziken's Emerald sprite the best.

But overall, I like the animations of Platinum. Animated backsprite ftw. It's funny to have Goukazaru screech angrily at every wild Pokemon I come across while on my way to watering berries. I always like to tell her "hey now, don't scream it it, let's just move on'. It's silly, but I mostly do this when I'm feeling down anyway, as a way to cheer myself up. 8D;

I prefer the Platinum/HGSS animations.

You mean attack animation? If that's so, then Gen 3 and 4.
If you mean animation of the Pokémon, then HGSS.

From the poll, i think the OP means pokemon animation, as for gens 2 and 3, only crystal and emerald are listed.

 

[Princess Viola]

Crystal, all Gen III and IV are just two frames and movement and distortion.

 

[Poison Master]

i agree.

 

[UnownUnknown]

Animations in Gen 3 were smooth and great. Apparently Thunderbolt was just so high quality that it had the ability to crash RS games.

 

[pikachu200]

I like HG/SS pokeanimations lol

 

[Marik]

I like Crystal's due to the fact that they were more individualized by Pokemon. For example, a Pidgey would flap its wings, a Steelix would roar, etc. But in the newer games (Emerald specifically) a lot of the time the sprite just rocks back and forth.

Gen III ran at 60FPS, everything was extremelly smooth. Animations felt quick and would work for a battle.

In contrast, in Gen IV isn't that choppy, but that's what makes battles so SLOW. And the animations there were boring: Disort pokemon, effects, effects in the middle, effects in the opponent, disort opponent pokemon.

Crystal gets an honorable mention for individual animations, of course.

B/W aren't released, so they don't count. For what I've seen, the actual pokemon animation is gorgeous though, but the attacks seem boring.

The attacks in b&w to me looked like gen IV attacks. Which were meh.

 

[Ranger Jack Walker]

I'll say Gen III. But the crystal sprites had cooler animations for many of the pokemon.

 

[Ferbgor]

Generation III had the smoothest most straemlined battles in the games. Generation IV slowed it down somewhat.

 

[Ivysaur]

Generation 5's are the most technically advanced, but some of them aren't that "smooth."

Crystal's animations were fantastic if not a little slow. Emerald's and the fourth generation's were pretty terrible, though.

 

[pikachu200]

I didnt like Emerald at all...well except for Mudkip and his evolutionary line lols!

But B/W loks interesting but it aint out yet sooo I'm not completly sure if they all are lookin good

but HG/SS animations were good but I wish they kept the D/P sprites for Sinnoh instead of the Platinum ones

 

[zerohona]

Gen II IMO
