Defined in macros/scripts/pic_anims.asm.
Pic animations are assembled in 3 parts:
-
Top-level animations:
frame N, duration
: Frame #0 is the original pic (no change)setrepeat N
: Sets the number of times to repeatdorepeat I
: Repeats from command #I (with the first command being #0)endanim
-
Bitmasks: Layered over the pic to designate affected tiles
-
Frame definitions: first byte is the bitmask used for this frame
following bytes are tile ids mapped to each bit in the mask
Animation data is in these files:
-
gfx/pokemon/anims.asm: Main animations (played everywhere)
-
gfx/pokemon/idles.asm: Idle animations, appended to the main animation.
Used in the status screen (blinking, tail wags etc.) -
gfx/pokemon/unown_anims.asm and gfx/pokemon/unown_idles.asm: Unown has its own animation data despite having an entry in the main tables.
