I’m really happy with how my animation turned out overall. I definitely agree with the criticism I received on needing to make the text stay on screen longer, and that’s something I will work on for future projects. This project gave me a lot of trouble at the beginning, and I ended up having to reanimate a lot of it a few different times just to get it to look how I wanted it to. I also had to make all of the backgrounds by hand because I couldn’t find ones online that matched the scale and quality I wanted for this, and while overall rewarding, it was incredibly tedious to do.
I am glad that I based it off a game I had all the assets downloaded for. It definitely made it easier that I didn’t also have to draw all the Pokemon, especially given that they were fusions and not just regular Pokemon. Drawing all of the trainer sprites was already bad enough.
If I had had more time I probably would have animated at least one full battle sequence, and I kind of wish I had been able to, but with the time constraints it wouldn’t really have been possible. However, even without this element, I really am satisfied with how the finished product turned out, and I hope I get to do more similar projects in the future.
