I have looked up several schools that will help teach me in animation, but they say to get some practice in with some software before I start. Does anyone know of any good animation software or he best animation software I can get?

Photoshop? Adobe Flash?

Can't say if they are good or the best or totally crap; they're just the only two I really know of.

My word! He has been confused by having been thanked!

I'm no Animations specialist, but it mainly depends on what kind of animation. Let's see if what little I know helps...

Photoshop = Image rendering, frame by frame animations and GIF images.
Flash = Interactive animation. I got nothing on this one.
Shockwave = Same as Flash, but I don't know jack about this one either.
Blender = Let's you create, render and animate 3D images. Messed around with this one a bit.

..... and that's all I know.

The only tool I actively remember would be AutoDesk 3DS Max, my older brother used to use it for 3D-modelling and some 3D animation work. Not sure if he still uses the account he used to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc0hiELrGgs but maybe I could text him.

I'm not really looking for 3D animation software. Just something that would make 2D images move. It's hard to explain. I want to do stuff like poke'mon (how it's done, that's the kind of software I want).

Who ever said anythign about 3D? Photoshop and Flash are primarily 2D programs. They may be capable of 3D, but they weren't designed solely for 3D.

These were all done wit Adobe Flash

If this isn't the animation capabilities you are after... then idk wtf you want.

Tariel, that last tidbit would've been pretty useful. You're looking for sprite animations in other words.

Try Photoshop and Flash, those are perfect for those things.

Anime Studio perhaps?

You could also try Google Sketch up if you want 3D, there is a free version, and a not so free version.
