How does this benefit everyone? I never have, and never will, care about Competitive Pokemon. I don't care about the TGC so neither of these "positives" are positives to me. Sure, there are some new animations but they are hardly good enough to justify culling a significant proportion of the Pokedex.
Wingull doesn't flap its wings often but, in game, it literally doesn't have a turning animation. It's flying not levitating so it can't just turn 180 degrees without any body movement.
The game looks fine graphically, not spectacular by any means. Some textures aren't great but you find that in most games. The graphics of the game are nothing to write home about.
The Pokemon I care about are the ones I've have since Emerald, Diamond, Heart Gold, etc. as well as the shiny collection I've amassed since XY. Sure, I'll make a new team for the main story and I will grow fond for the members but, in the Post Game, I want to mix and match from my new ones and old ones.
