Lol scarlet and violet turns whatever it touches to crap let alone the new worse pokemon card art/border especially energy written 3 times on the redesigned energy card in case you have ADD or Alzheimer's and forget what it does (like yugioh pot of greed meme draw 2 cards explanation).
It was Ok at 1st but had the opposite effect on me - it grew more jarring as time went on. Mainly becuase Sw/Sh turned out to be such big disappointment and the Pokémon models and 'world' looked like cut out from Cardboard. Really dislike that Outline effect. SV's South wild battle theme is a proper Jam and only gets better in Trainer battles.
The wood hammer looks less cartoony in SV, whereas the Spiky Shield one is more natural but kinda too small for 'protection'. Overall I think neither are better than the other, it's just a bit different. In my opinion, of course
With all due respect I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The wood hammer animation is arguably better in sword and shield. The texture detail is no different but honestly the model for the hammer looks better and it objectively has better lighting plus the spin in the animation is cool. For Spikey shield I really cannot even see a difference. If anything this video makes S/V look even worse because there's no reason it should look arguably worse than the last game. I prefer S/V as games over SW/SH but they do honestly look even worse.
Genuinely a hard call to make. Felt like this is the first animation change that isn't worse than sword and shield's animation. It's not better either though, it's just different.
They have a lot of special animation being removed Like Decidueye's Spirit Shackle targeting animation on previous game, now it's just simply flapping wings to fire arrow Chesnaught Spiky Shield animation from XY where it merging both arm to produce the shield, now it's appears like out of thin air after a roar/cry Cinderace Pyro Ball has that sick animation resembling soccer player back in Sword & Shield, now it's simply kicks a fire ball that came out of thin air
I prefer the SWSH Wood Hammer animation. Not only does the SWSH animation look flashier with the spin, but the spin makes it seem like it has more weight and impact. It is easier to lift something heavy with negative leverage like that by swinging it and using that momentum to lift it rather than just immediately lifting it, fighting gravity and inertia simultaneously. Since the SVI animation doesn't have that and starts in an upright position, it immediately loses that sense of weight regardless of the other aspects of the animation or sound effects. That being said, I am a big fan of the little wood-on-wood clink sound that they play when the hammer appears in the SVI animation.
the SV animation for Wood Hammer kinda looks like it hasn't rendered in fully, which makes it look cool and all, but the SwSh animation is definitley better; and with Spikey Shield, the animation in SV looks a bit more, distant, the animation is farther away than in SwSh, but besides that they look exactly the same, XY animation still rules though
SV’s Wood Hammer, mainly due to the slight contrast in a slight shaded tone on the mallet, plus it is known to glitch multiple mallets simultaneously in Tera Raid Battles, namely from Trevenant.
His grass shield animation is in the game because I saw him do it when he was putting up a Tera shield last night. Why didn't they associate that whenever he uses Spikey Shield?! That's so stupid
I love how everyone hates on the animations for scarlet and violet while completely ignoring the fact that battles don't take place within a pocket dimension, they occur in the overworld, and yet the most common complaint about these games is their frame rate issues Like, people really just be blind deaf and dumb about this stuff huh
When it comes to move animations scarlet and violet have some of the worse animations in recent Pokemon games. They just look more polished, but the actual animations are worse than previous games.
Legends arceus was a better game, and being the "best" switch game doesn't mean much when it's opposition is a (beautifully made) Kanto remake, the dumpster fire that is sword/shield, the worst pokemon remake to ever exist, and legends arceus, which was a fun game despite having a very empty overworld. Scarlet and violet handled the overworld better than PLA, and has the first true multiplayer in the overworld, instead of being restricted to the Wild Area, but that's all it has going for it.
They are the exact f***ing same.... The only difference is the shading of the attacks... I will admit that the art looks better for the wood hammer.... but that's it....
ima be honest with you, there was no fucking difference between the two. wood hammer, just barely, but spiky shield is the exact same animation only with a slight makeover
Hello uh i tryed a strat with chesnaught and gen 8 water starter or a fast mon with u turn and soak so what im saying is soak U-turn belly drum spiky then wood hammer or a fighting type move and if that fails then switch on over to gen 7 fire starter btw the game i played this strat in was brick bronze so i could mega salamence and then d dance then return if you don't know mega sala ability it turns normal type moves into flying moves then a sweep if they get though the first strat
Such a shill. Chesnaught’s signature animation with Spiky Shield has been cut, I couldn’t give af about if the actual attack animation looks slightly better than last Gen. That’s like the minimum of what they should do lmao
"Chestnaught doesn't really have any exclusive moves." [Remembers when Spiky Shield was his exclusive signature move and then they gave it to a fucking cactus]
Probably the most desperate attempt in defending Game Freak's lackluster effort to "change things up" for the Pokemon franchise. There's virtually no difference in between the two animations you just presented.
Sorry but as much as I like SV, the animations are just not good. Chesnaught doesn't even have his unique shield in his Spikey shield animation in X and Y.
I'm pretty sure they were signature moves for them, but unlike Mat Block and Water Shuriken (blatant Greninja favouritsm from Game Freak there), they were added to other pokemon (mismagius, armarouge, enamorus, maractus, etc.)
Personally, I'm concerned about the animations of the actual models as well as the attack animations. I might agree the hammer and shield both look a little better, but the actual Pokemon just use one of the three lame default animations they're given. If Pokemon could get a few more specific animations for certain moves or something like that, that would make a huge difference to me
My personal opinion is that the animations of scarlet and violet are really bad for now, in sword and shield they were so beautiful for example the move of cinderace and others❤
@@Courage-In-All It is trash when Chesnaught does it. The arms don’t become a shield when ever it uses Spiky Shield, but certain other moves shows the arm shield animation instead. I don’t mind if other Pokémon have Spiky Shield, but at least show the correct animation that made it famous on Chesnaught.
Scarlet and violet are generally better. No one else will be bothered by this but grimmsnarl’s spirit break animation looks far better in sword and shield.
many moves don't have screen shakes anymore, when against important characters like Nemona, Avern. Penny, Gym Leaders+E4/Team Star Bosses/Titan Pokemon, Tera Raid or Online Battles they only shake against wild pokemon and generic NPC trainers in the wild area or whatever the fuck
The fact that most pokémon have textures is the most valuable increase in graphics in my opinion, the only issue is actually the FPS that is ridiculous and make the game ugly and bugged sometimes
okay but you have to admit that the game's performance has gotten better since the last few updates. It might be still buggy as hell, but if it keeps going at this rate then one day the game will offically be free from performance issues
@@treeman7687 Honestly i did not feel much of a difference, but maybe thats because i tend to play way more online then "overworld" in general, but im glad they are actually trying to improve, thats nice! But yesterday when i was shining hunting on Glasiado Mountain i felt some slowmotion when a snowstorm happened there, so hopefuly they keep trying to improve that
@@treeman7687 it's sad that it's gotten to this point though. games used to release complete and nearly bug free on release. i hate to sound like an old man but nowadays devs don't even bother optimizing or bug testing games anymore because people will buy it anyway and bug test it for free.
I feel like they should of just stuck with a cell shaded art style like the DS games, it looks better, I feel like it suits the pokemon and characters more and it would be way better for the graphics and aesthetic since all the textures would be more consistent, making the game look better over all, cause while the pokemon and character models look more detailed the world around them looks like it's a console generation apart, just makes the game look off, honestly is one of the two major things that killed the experience for me, I never even got to the first gym it was that bad to me
Sword and Shield is just more pleasing aesthetically, the simplicity of the cel-shaded models and textures helped the game run well with next to no aliasing or slowdown while still looking pretty nice, Scarlet and Violet look like ass and run like it too, and mostly due to things we didn't really need like a dynamic combat camera which is pointless because battles are still turn-based.
Chestnaut's unique shield animation from the X/Y puts the S/V animations to shame.
This guy knows about the animation we're chesnaught created a shield with its arms.
Yes the second I get chesnaught I tested the shield out and then I got so sad
Bro when chessnaught blew me out of the den he used the shield from X
Absolutely, glad he still has the animation, but sad it's not used for spiky shield.
Lol scarlet and violet turns whatever it touches to crap let alone the new worse pokemon card art/border especially energy written 3 times on the redesigned energy card in case you have ADD or Alzheimer's and forget what it does (like yugioh pot of greed meme draw 2 cards explanation).
chesnaughts shield animation in X&Y was the best they had ever made it. They should've done the exact same with the animation in S&V
He has the shield animation when he blows people out of the den
the shield animation is there but not on Spiky Shield
@@greengentlemanmc and when it uses certain moves, yet not its signiture
@@krookodilegang6192 Which is weird
i kinda prefer the sword/sheilf wood hammer because of that little spin
Entirely agree
Completely agreeing with u
I agree
immobile glorbs
Much true very wow
it really is like comparing a bent rusty nail to a bent rusty bolt
I will always prefer a sword and shield's shaded look, more than scarlet and violet's muddy look.
So he has the shield animation but doesn’t use it when Spiky Shield is selected…
Right? So many animation details are missing. Maybe they'll add it back in an update. But IDK.
Hearing SwSh Wild Battle Theme kinda had me nostalgic for a moment :')
I wish the music from poco path played when you fought all wild pokemon
It's actually been a long time since swsh released.. crazy how time's flown by
It was Ok at 1st but had the opposite effect on me - it grew more jarring as time went on. Mainly becuase Sw/Sh turned out to be such big disappointment and the Pokémon models and 'world' looked like cut out from Cardboard.

solgaleo and lunala don't transform into their Radiant Sun/Full Moon phases for Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam
@@slimestudios9748Dragapult also doesn't shoot it's missile children
Chesnaught doesn't use its arms to form a shield anymore? Spiky shield was legit my favorite move because of that detail
I dunno, I likes Swish's buildup for Wood Hammer, and Chessnaught's shielding animation is kind of part of why spiky shield was *HIS SIGNATURE MOVE*
I prefer the SWSH Wood Hammer animation. Not only does the SWSH animation look flashier with the spin, but the spin makes it seem like it has more weight and impact.

For spike shield I always prefer X and Y
Too bad chesnaught doesn’t put its hands together
he does while doing Hammer Arm but not Spiky Shield
@@theamazingspooderman2697 that’s too bad really considering spiky shield was it’s signature move

Nah in gen 8 wood Hammer had this cool spin before hitting
They both look mostly similar to me.
Just wit slightly different. feels.
Spiky Shield was Chesnaught's signature move in XY until they gave it to Cacturne in ORAS
Honestly SwSh looked better.
You can hate the wild area as I do but the routes and cities were beautiful.
Spiky shield was its exclusive move in Gen 6.
SV may have better animations for some Pokémon but I’m still mad at the Dragon Darts animation change
Yea same :( like wtf happened lmao
And Pyro Ball. Best move animation imo. But they ruined it.
The animation looks better in Sword and Shield lol
His grass shield animation is in the game because I saw him do it when he was putting up a Tera shield last night. Why didn't they associate that whenever he uses Spikey Shield?! That's so stupid
Really enjoying watching ur videos!! Well done!
This is like comparing navy and dark blue
XY has Chesnaught turn par his arm into the shield and the spikes getting out of the shield itself
They look different but I’m not sure which one is better.
The inconsistency is a problem in recent Pokémon games.
I liked the wood hammer in sword and shield better
Ive been out the loop for a while how do you get chesnaught?
In a 5 to 7 star max raid battle.
Or simply wait for home to be updated lol
All the Pokémon games are great
I couldn't even tell what game was which one lol
I love how everyone hates on the animations for scarlet and violet while completely ignoring the fact that battles don't take place within a pocket dimension, they occur in the overworld, and yet the most common complaint about these games is their frame rate issues

But the game is bad visually and mechanically.
When it comes to move animations scarlet and violet have some of the worse animations in recent Pokemon games. They just look more polished, but the actual animations are worse than previous games.
Thanks for interesting animations video.❤️❤️
They look the same to me just in different engine
Aw, Chesnaught doesn't protect using its arms when using Spiky Shield.... sad 😢
swsh clears in anything compared to sv
Y’all are way too critical. Scarlet and Violet are definitely the best switch Pokémon games. Biggest problem is frame rate.
Legends arceus was a better game, and being the "best" switch game doesn't mean much when it's opposition is a (beautifully made) Kanto remake, the dumpster fire that is sword/shield, the worst pokemon remake to ever exist, and legends arceus, which was a fun game despite having a very empty overworld.
Scarlet and violet handled the overworld better than PLA, and has the first true multiplayer in the overworld, instead of being restricted to the Wild Area, but that's all it has going for it.
It’s hammer time
They are the exact f***ing same....
The only difference is the shading of the attacks...
I will admit that the art looks better for the wood hammer.... but that's it....
I think we’re getting Fairy Tera Type Delphox next
Bet
I had spiky shield for itself till others copied it
You prefer the animations that have less animation?
Sword & sheild all the way
Sword and shield looks so much better than scarlet and violet
For clarification im taking about the games overall not just the move animations
ima be honest with you, there was no fucking difference between the two. wood hammer, just barely, but spiky shield is the exact same animation only with a slight makeover

They're.... the same. Only different positions
People Still believe that? Lol
"Chestnaught doesn't really have any exclusive moves."
[Remembers when Spiky Shield was his exclusive signature move and then they gave it to a fucking cactus]
Cactus has spikes too? and Togedemaru got Spiky Shield too cuz it too has spikes
To be fair, Maractus and Cacturne need all they can get, they aren't exactly the strongest pokemon.
Scarlet and violet version
They look exactly the same lol
That is literslly the same spiky shield animation i swear to god

My personal opinion is that the animations of scarlet and violet are really bad for now, in sword and shield they were so beautiful for example the move of cinderace and others❤
I say Sword and Shield had higher highs but MUCH lower lows while SV keeps a good average all the way through even if some moves look worse.
Spiky shield is so bad and stupid. Gamefreak should make it turn its back to face the foe just like in the anime.
What a shame the animation in this game....
Spiky things are a DOWNGRADE. Please, do your own research before wasting people's time. :D
I prefer S/V animations
I think sword and shield had a better swoosh animation for wood hammer and the spiky shield looks almost identical
Look about the same. A video. For this?
But the other Move Animations are TRASH!!!!!
