[Denied]Ability to Switch Off Battle Animations

[Seoulex]

I was searching through the ToC and noticed that

was rejected. I thought to bring it back seeing as it's completely reasonable, not to mention everyone who commented agreed on it. We should be able to turn off the animations because

 

-it takes too much time

-they're annoying.

Its a huge step from having nothing at all. Others will come in time.

i'd rather not have them at all :P which is why i'd like an option to turn them off

It would likely cause some kind of sync issues in battle where one player has them turned off and another on, though.  Or the spectators.

As long as it won't cause the AFK timer to pop-up i don't see it should have a negative effect

u know that there is an option such as this in the original games right?
so what? gamefreak didn't put any effort in it?

[Linken]

The option should implemented into the duel creator to avoid sync issues etc

also +1

Wanted to suggest this, but since we already have a thread about it i thought i could just bump this one.

 

Why not?

I've said this before and I will say it again. This option gives some players a marked advantage over others who want the animations on or don't know the option exists. It is not a fair option to give even if it is made as a toggle option. Having the server detect certain battles modes to even the playing field would not help either as that would need extra overhead to separate the two. There are reasons why this was rejected this is one of those in which the circumstances have not changed.

This thread contains some more recent and probably more relevant arguments if you want.

Nothing really that hasn't already been said, though.
