I keep scrolling past adorable posts from pokemon fans that are like "look at my cute little guy/girl/creature in ZA" and I think pokemon should be taking notes.
Objectively speaking, pals are a gazillion times more photogenic and lively animation wise. Things like that are why the game sticks, even if its popularity is largely derived from the meme of "HAHA POKEMON WITH GUNS". You come for the monkey holding an assault rifle and you stay because the butterfly looks so lifelike as it does its silly dance.
But also look at this cutie!!! She wants to help me build a giant primarina pixel art but the pixel art requires 0 butterflies so she just floats there with this joyous expression
...I think it's just a bit bugged out because I keep leaving and entering the base and her pathing can't find a way down so she's just kind of doing weird ghost tasks and then suddenly stopping and the animation controller gets confused but isn't it adorable?
