Hello , i did check poser in YouTube and forums but mostly i seen people using it for still images while poser says it is powerful for animation too so i wonder if poser can be good for animation or it is only good for posing and rendering still images ? 

if i want making animation is poser 13 good choice ? 

also have anyone done animation with it if so i want to see their result please . 

It absolutely is although not often shown to be.   Some of the coolest animations have been made using it despite some limitations.  Those limitations are something I've grown fond of.   Here's a few examples:

MontyOum's work (RIP):
-Haloid
-Icarus
-Dead Fantasy series
-Red Vs Blue Seasons 7, 8, 9 & 10 (its a machinema series, but the action scenes were mostly 1 guy done in Poser at first.  Some other help on later seasons.  I came in at S10)

Examples from RvB:

-RWBY Vol 1-3 (with a team) is probably the biggest nationally known production in the world to use Poser
(we mainly used Poser 2014 at the time, but not much has changed in the animation department over the years aside from added features and a few changes...still good)
The initial RWBY Red and White Trailers were only Monty, and then Black and Yellow was he and I tag teaming:

I have a couple goofy personal projects too:
Mega Man X Fanimation

Previs Dummies 1&2 (ugly but fun, just to focus on the animation side)

I'm still using it but have been too busy with animation work lately which requires Blender for the pipeline, but absolutely not done with Poser.  I much prefer doing animation in Poser over Blender, but there is a bit of knowledge for making use of it that can be a little scarce to come by unless you know people who know. 
All of the above mention projects did make use of original models, some game assets, products from DAZ and other places, all modified of course.
Hope that answers you question.
