"Pokemon should have different animations for different types of contact moves"


I think we can all agree that seeing a Scrafty do a headbutt when it uses Brick Break or a Flygon swing its tail around when using Steel Wing is kind of weird. I'd really like to see Gamefreak give pokemon a couple different animations for different move categories.First: I think this is only needs to happen for contact moves, at least to start. Sure, there are few cases of weird special move animations, like Mega Blastoise not using it's cannon, but for a majority of moves it's fine. Contact moves, however, have a lot more instances of "Move-Animation segregation."So, I went through and did my best to categorize most contact moves. Signature moves and moves that don't have a clear motion are not included in the categorization.Not every pokemon needs to have a unique animation for every category. Golem doesn't need an animation for Wing moves, both because it doesn't learn any and because it wouldn't make sense. In addition, pokemon can re-use animations for different categories. Ambipom's Tail and Punch animations, for example, would probably be the same.EDIT: I think there might be some confusion. I'm not saying give each pokemon a separate animation for every move. I'm saying that give pokemon a couple different animations, that align with these categories. So Zigzagoon, for example, could probably have a Tackle animation, a Bite animation, a Tail animation, and a Claw animation.My categories are:In case the table isn't viewable properly, you can also view it hereTackleTailPunchGrappleBiteKickChopSlash/ClawStabSpinWhipWingAccelerockAqua TailArm ThrustBindBiteBlaze KickCross ChopCross PoisonDrill PeckGyro BallLickSteel WingAerial AceDragon TailAssuranceCircle ThrowBug BiteDouble KickDual ChopCrush ClawFell StingerRapid SpinPower WhipWingAqua JetIron TailBrick BreakClampCrunchHigh HorsepowerKarate ChopCutFury AttackRolling KickVine WhipAstonishPoison TailBrutal SwingConstrictHyper FangHigh Jump KickThroat ChopDragon ClawHorn AttackRolloutBody SlamTail SlapBullet PunchNuzzleIce FangJump KickFalse SwipeHorn DrillSteamrollerBounceComet PunchSeismic TossLeech LifeLow KickFury CutterHorn LeechBrave BirdCrabhammerSky DropPoison FangLow SweepFury SwipesMegahornClose CombatCrush GripStorm ThrowPsychic FangsMega KickGuillotinePeckCounterDizzy PunchSubmissionSuper FangStompLeaf BladePluckCovetDouble HitVice GripThunder FangTriple KickMetal ClawSmart StrikeDigDouble SlapVital ThrowTrop KickNight SlashDiveDrain PunchWrapRazor ShellDouble-EdgeDynamic PunchWring OutSacred SwordDragon RushFake OutScratchDrill RunFire PunchShadow ClawExtremeSpeedFocus PunchSlashFeint AttackForce PalmX-ScissorFlailHammer ArmFlame ChargeIce HammerFlame WheelIce PunchFlare BlitzKnock OffFlyMach PunchGiga ImpactMega PunchHead SmashMeteor MashHeadbuttNeedle ArmHeart StampPoison JabHeat CrashPoundHeavy SlamPower-Up PunchIron HeadRock SmashLungeShadow PunchOutrageSky UppercutPhantom ForceStrengthPlay RoughSuperpowerPursuitThunder PunchQuick AttackWake-Up SlapRageReturnRock ClimbShadow SneakSkull BashSlamSparkStomping TantrumTackleTake DownU-turnVolt TackleWaterfallWild ChargeZen HeadbuttZing Zap via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2xcD7RZ
