Old Pokemon Menu sprites for RoA formats

[Plague von Karma]

This is very much an aesthetic thing, but I feel old menu sprites for RoA battles would add a nice touch to them. An idea I had was to have them animate when you mouse over them, like the animated Gen 2 dragon or slowpoke sprites here for example;

While the menu sprites serve as a bit of a visual aid to some players during a battle, these sprites could be toggleable to solve this issue. Kind of like how the option for old sprites is. I wouldn't say to lump them together due to how some players use the menu sprites, though.

I'd completely understand why this wouldn't be added as it is largely unnecessary and doesn't really aid in replicating cartridge formats, but I thought I'd drop the suggestion anyway. I don't think it's too hard to add, but it's not really my place to decide that. Thanks for reading in advance!

I personally think using the older gen 2 and 1 menu sprites ruins the ability to easily glance at the other side and identify each species quickly, so I feel doubtful about using those.

Though I think it would be cool to use the gen 3-5 menu sprites, as those keep the functionality of the gen 6-7 menu sprites, while accomplishing the old feeling aspect. I don't have a final say, but I thought I would throw in my cents.

Sorry for the late reply. This is why I was saying specifically for it to be a toggle-able option. By having it toggle-able we wouldn't have the issues of it being difficult for other players. You could simply choose to not use them.
