Yes i understand. Though if it feels too much i could say you don't really need them. For example, a healthy way could be to make 1 frame for each attack, that's what old classic games got, like Super Mario Bros and Pokémon Red/Blue and it even has a battle screen with only 1-direction. So when the development is "complete" you could feel if you really want to polish all the attacks, or a few.
I think that's what they do with alpha versions btw, they complete the game playthrough but with a lot of sketch like graphics.
What you have so far looks very impressive anyway! Maybe you don't need much battles, it could be fun with exploration and catching monsters rather than battling them i don't know. I guess you're a fan of Mystery Dungeon, i recently tried the demo on 2DS
