Okay, after seeing the youtube videos:
HP drainage as soon as the blinking starts is okay, and the HP does seem to go down pretty fast. Can't tell, we'll see how someone like Blissey looks when taking a hit in battle. Having to sit there for a full 4 seconds while watching a Blissey's bar drain is so annoying.
As for the animations - they look like they were made in freaking flash. Too choppy and unnatural looking. It's not smooth at all. Their limbs look like they're separate pieces screwed onto each other. I mean, they're most likely separate sprites stitched together, but they don't have to make it look like they're separate parts. Also seems like something that will get old very quickly. Still iffy on this addition. I'll have to see more footage to make a solid judgment.
Also, it's possible that the animations will get more polished in the final release anyway.
