spark95 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Neat animation!! Will you be making a different animation for regular evolutions as well to make it a little more consistent with the mega evolution animation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Oh. Well, I should've searched for that before making an idiot of myself there. Does this also mean we're getting the Keystone next round? I still don't think we're getting the Keystone in Ep16. Seems a bit too useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mde2001 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah, I don't see us getting the mega bracelet until E18 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami's-Egg Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) That looks amazing. There is that split second change there but I'm pretty sure that'll be fixed over time. So...uh... that megahorn is just for show right? Randomized Reborn confirmed. :Kappa: Nice work as usual Ame. The new Mega Evolution animation is wonderful!

Simon Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 .......look, some weird stuff happens in testing, okay? Never forget Techie Johnathan and Mega-Rayquaza Well done on the Mega-Evo animation and improving it so that the transition looks much smoother. Can't wait to try it out myself.

Gaunt Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Animations look good As for the Mega Bracelet i too thought we'll get it very late (maybe past the E4) but from Ame's post here (some pages behind) i got the idea that we'll probably get it sooner (maybe even in e16) On an unrelated note: i just remembered a key feature in Pokemon games that Reborn is still missing...the option to rummage through trash cans to find items! Why is this (not so) important and (not really) indispensable feature missing? Is it a conspiracy? We'll (probably) never find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star-kin Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Also a little late and er different topic, but was that dude in Charlotte's gym's line " See you in the Starlight Divide!" always there? Thought that was pretty neat. the 3 trainers in her gym are all neat little references to things, like the Uncle Iroh cameo from Avatar. my personal fav. and holy shit that animation looks waay better than before...how do y'all even do it.

Thought that was pretty neat. He was. I couldn't resist. Of course, only his name is really notable in that point. I've been wondering what the Starlight Divide was. Is that the nightclub in Obsidia? Or is that something near Calcenon City? Run-down here. (And let me tell you, I can't wait. Some of the aces are already seeing preliminary character designs from it and I'm really so excitedddd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGlaceon Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I feel like the nightclub is going to be where you re-battle gym leaders or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymdall Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 That Mega Evolution/PULSE Deformation(I like calling it that since it's less of an evolution and more of a corruption)animation looks amazing! Can't really spot much wrong other than the typical bugs that come with testing(See: ohai Megahorn Gardevoir). Nice workaround too, with the little flash to kind of hide the invisibility. As for the nightclub, I'd assume that yes, that's probably where we'll refight Gym Leaders if nothing else, as well as random hilarious side content. I kind of want to see someone like Sirius just standing there in the corner being really, really...well....serious. I dunno if he'll be ALIVE for that but you know, a guy can dream, can't he?

Administrators Amethyst Posted August 16, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted August 16, 2015 Weathers today. Did you know that we've actually had a rain animation the entire time? A lot of people don't, because the animation frame on the old one was literally one pixel wide. It was nearly invisible even when you were looking for it. :I Anyway, these should all be fairly clear.

Foamy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Eeeeee, these all look so cool!Is the Mega Evolution animation going to have the little Mega Evolution symbol in the middle of the swirling energy ball thingy? And if so, will the PULSE variant have a yet-to-be-designed PULSE symbol? I think it'd be pretty sweet for the PULSE machines to have their own logo.

SnowGlaceon Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Is the last one strong winds? They look cool I don't think so? It could maybe be the fog weather condition which hasn't been seen since DPPT, so I doubt it's that. But doesn't strong winds only activate when Mega Ray is on the field? To me it looks the same as Sandstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not in the animation itself, but now that I think about it should be easy to replace the symbol that appear on the battle HUD for Pulses... Mm, maybe. Might cause issues if a player Mega-Evolved during a battle with a PULSE. I'll look into it. Is the last one strong winds? Yep. Remember, Strong Winds applies to battles on windy days in Reborn; not just from Rayquaza and wow, the weather animations look great! wonder if they'll get any sound effects maybe? most likely not though. They all have sounds. I don't think there will be any animations that don't. So, with this all of the "common" (read: not directly related to moves) animations are done, and I can start on the moves themselves. 214 to go for E16..... :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGlaceon Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Oh, right. That's a thing now. Flying type master race. Seriously though, everyone start catching and training pidoves. You know what comes next. And also, have you ever noticed Hail is relatively useless? I kinda hope it gets a buff someday. Since Rain and sun boost/decrease move power, and sandstorm has the SpeDef boost for rock types... Hail has, what? 100% blizzard accuracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mde2001 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Episode 16 is going to be so cool. Great job again on the animations. They look great. You're putting in a lot of work with the animations and we all really appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome_Complex Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Fog is far from useless, if anything it's too broken to be an actual weather effect. Enjoy missing like 65% of the time. I like most of the new weather animations except rain. The rain drops look more like tear drops and it's a bit silly looking. Oh one improvement, which Idk if you guys can do, is when "the ____ is buffeted by hail/sandstorm" message comes in doubles it gets very annoying to have to sit through that message for every mon on the field.Anyway to have it so that it has them all getting hurt at once and if ice body or whatever occurs have that on the following phase of the turn? I feel similarly about hail needing a buff but at the same time 100% accuracy blizzard really really hurts especially if you end up frozen. Blake was difficult mostly due to that + his field bonus.

Blake was difficult mostly due to that + his field bonus. But that logic also applies to rain and the move Thunder. Meanwhile rain also boosts water moves. Combine that with a water field and you have the same issue as Blake+Ice field. Blizzard only has an 10% freezing chance, 20 on Ice fields iirc. A hail buff is most definitely needed. That aside... Geez Ame you're working hard on this! And you're doing one hell of a job too. The animations look great, it's just th Strong winds one confused me. I can see why it would resemble Sandstorm though, considering the fact that they're both wind based I guess. BRING BACK FOG! for the lols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerain Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I think the "issue" with the rain one is that it looks ...well, slow and underwhelming for a rainy weather. Maybe some people wish to see more intense raining, but wellp, to me it doesn't really matter, still looks cool And fog is uhhh, yeah annoying, really annoying when everything misses.

I sort of had the same thought. I'll probably thin out the drops just a little bit. And for the second part, that's already a planned change actually, affecting all end-of-turn effects. Believe me, I'm as annoyed by those tedious messages as y'all. Since I'm going to be doing these for a while (at least a month), and the difference in percentage is rather miniscule, I added a count to the status thread topic title to make progress more apparent. The number listed is how many animations are yet to be done, so when it reaches 0 I can move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
