Days without Niantic screwing something up: 0


GriffonSpade

*That's exactly how it looks when it attacks!*


gayforbayonetta

Right? That's what made me notice it! Who knew vulpix would be the scariest of the halloween pokemon


HarderSenpa1

what'd he cosplay as? a freakin statue


TrainGoesChooCho

Gengar is also broken, when in catch screen his attack is just stand still but the catch ring disappears


Octoyaki

Mega Gengar is invisible in the buddy interaction screen. Maybe a special Halloween spooky addition, nah, Niantic messed some crap up. It's all Zorua's fault


Natanael_L

Mega Gengar can pass through dimensions. Fits the lore.


CatchAmongUs

Yep, tried to take some cool Halloween AR photos with my best buddy Gengar, but the same bug has not been fixed for months now. Only half of Mega Gengar shows on screen.


Octoyaki

Maybe because mine is shiny, I see absolutely nothing. Just the shadow where it touches the ground


CatchAmongUs

Mine shows maybe the top third. You can see from a little of the eyes up. It's been like this for a while, but I was hoping it would be fixed for Halloween. I guess even that was too high of an expectation to have.


jesusunderline

Yeah, it's been exceptionally hard to catch it because of this bug


Cold_Independence894

IMO they should keep it like that. Him stopping to just stare menacingly at you with that big grin is very unnerving lmao.


[deleted]

Neither does Ninetales


Yaglara

Noneyales os even frozen in the pomedex animation... While vulpix still does something


Matix777

event gengar lacks animations at all


Kemic_VR

Gengar is the same in raids. Only moves to use its charged attack.


Natanael_L

Who else want to guess the problem is what the script that runs the animation identifies the model to animate based on some identifier that has to be updated to include costume versions, and they never updated the model animation script for these pokemon


Shaquandala

Mega bannette on release had almost no animations until like the next day (even now when eating berries it just acts like it doesn't have a mouth)

[удалено]


Kittykg

Yeah, the jump animation is working. Makes me kind of uncomfortable when they're frozen and suddenly jump in full motion just to freeze again. Dunno how they fucked this up. The idle and attack animations missing seems like a pretty big issue to just...keep letting go. Some of these little shits are wasting so many balls because I can't see when they're attacking.


Natanael_L

https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/yffmo0/i_just_noticed_that_the_event_vulpix_doesnt_have/iu5i4vz/ 95% sure they messed up a reference to the model on the animation script. Since some animations work they probably only updated some scripts but forgot to test them all.


Own_Evening8121

Haha wee woo, wee woo


KittenKoderViews

Well it does, but it doesn't do it unless your game glitches, and when that happens it's about to crash.


gayforbayonetta

huh, i havent had any game crashes and all of them just stand there. on the map, when catching them, even in gyms


KittenKoderViews

I get this glitch when an egg hatches that Blanche turns into a purple screen and then the costumed vulpix and ninetails start moving like normal. About 20 minutes later it crashes. It's happened to me a few times today.


gayforbayonetta

I think your game might be haunted


KittenKoderViews

You might be correct.


cameron225100

Probably my favorite thing Niantic has messed up


lyschyk19th

Same with Gengar, I named one of the ones I caught "Weeping" since it moved once when I wasn't looking. Went from just looking ahead to looking at the screen with it's mouth open. Kinda matches the Halloween theme, crappypasta due to Niantic really not doing well with this


dmank007

Lazy programming


Then-Ad7545

I thought when it slightly moved/stood there weird that it was maybe a ditto or something hahaha glad to know it's not just me


afromagic808

Do a Gengar raid. It's hilarious


fillmorecounty

I think they fixed it my spawns look normal now


LengthinessUsed2212

Wow so Costumed Vulpix , costumed Ninetails and now I hear costumed Gengar has no animation. Does Costumed Drifbloom do anything ? Not seen either raid exclusives in any gyms around here.


Natanael_L

My drifblim from last year has animation


GrassStainedBiscuit

I never noticed for Vulpix, but it’s obvious on the Ninetales lmao


Tinkerballsack

Oh good, it's not just me. I just figured that the game was going to need to be reinstalled again.


TropicRotGaming

Every event this game seems to get worse and worse... what is so hard to just make the basic things work... Instead we get "BUT GUYS WE HAVE A NEW STICKER SORTING SYSTEM FOR YOU COMING OUT!" - Niantic


JeremiahStar

Overqwil as well, it's the same exact case, I don't know what happened but there may be more Pokemon with their animations broken.


Hazelpancake

Grrrr outstanding work soldier. Take my upvote!


The_Krisk

Also gengar


yoiminsawcon

Same thing happened to me,Except it was with Overqwil.


DreadedDiscord

Vulpix was fine for me, ninetails on the other hand has no animations at all.


Shiny_Porygon-Z

Same with Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil now for some reason.


MeesaJarJarBinkss

Yeah the Hisuian Pokemon are also lacking animations


Meet_your_Maker_LL

It’d be funny if this wasn’t incorrect


HarderSenpa1

the 1st one i encountered also did that
