Think i'll give some update about this : only ~80 pokes reamin!
Now imma set some things str8 :
In truth everyone's game DOES lag while exploring areas no matter how beastly your machine is
While using these 3d sprites you might say that a 1 gig folder compared to a 33 megabytes folder sure will make the game laggy asf but actually no
The game will only load the sprites during battles, evolution screens, in the Pokédex, in the PC and in the team info so the only time you'll have some slight delay is there (and i really mean slight, roughly about 100 milliseconds)
Fyi i have 1gb ram definetly it is not-so-monster ram lol
About the pulses, sorry they'll remain png's as i have enough on my plate as it is, also i don't think i can build top notch gifs either
Either way there are only a few pulses (Abra, tangrowth and muk?) so only 3 pokes that YOU EACH FACE ONCE (cept for tangrowth) will be 2d compared to 700+ 3rd pokes so what the heck ppl
