I'm not sure if this is just my ADHD or if it's a legitimate issue, but I feel like this game wastes a sh** ton of time on animations. I would love an update that allows animations to either be sped up or skipped entirely.

Ex: The level up stopping everything on the screen dead until it triggers the congrats animation we've all seen a hundred times. I love it happening the first time it happens, I wish I could turn it off now.

Ex: Pokemon skills stopping everything on screen. What if they didn't and you could still click other mons while this was happening?

Ex: The slow animation of a pokemon receiving a candy and stopping you from clicking that mon for a few seconds.

I know these are relatively minor time sucks, but they add up! Sometimes I want to log in and just breeze through my triggers on a break.

Rant over, hope that's helpful. Curious if others agree or if I'm off base.

The Dark Humor Will Continue Until Morale Improves is all about finding the laughs in the dark corners of the world we'd rather not look at. As a condition of laughing at the dark state of the world, half of the profits support ActBlue, so maybe the next book doesn't have to feel so bleak.
