Dcubed Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Posted Friday at 05:53 PM New Frame Plus actually did a really good video on how Game Freak have handled battle animations over the years some few years ago. Should give you an appreciation of the immense challenge they've faced and some of the clever ways that they tackled them.
Jonnas Posted yesterday at 04:35 PM Posted yesterday at 04:35 PM One of the few things I knew about 4th Gen meta was that Machamp had a niche as a DynamicPuncher. It's one of my faves, hence why I knew. I kept reading Glen's write-up, waiting for him to say why this moveset had become such an issue as of late... and apparently, nothing in particular happened. Just, after several years of DynamicPunch Machamp being a thing, some folk decided it was too much to deal with, and banned him to Ubers? It's weird how a metagame evolves, sometimes. It's like DK and Yoshi recently becoming high tiers in Melee, despite nothing about the game changing.

Yeah, pretty much. Just a steady increase of people complaining about it, until there were too many to ignore. It is possible that it might lead to Jirachi becoming uncontested in the OU meta there without Machamp keeping it in check. Funnily enough, the next Pokémon is a good example of that kind of thing, but that will have to wait.
