LOL .. funny, Bully.
No, unfortunately the defaults for animations are hard coded. They are
easily changed, but not by defaults can not be changed.
Having said that, if this is a problem you feel strongly about, I'd suggest
these two suggestions (since suggesting summations is counter productive).
1) Tell MS you would like to be able to modify default animation settings.
There is a special website set-up for this very reason, and they do want
user input into how to improve your experience with their products. Goto:

2) You can also use a VBA/Macro to assign a wipe animation from the right
using
very slow timing.
=======Begin Macro Code==========
Option Explicit
Sub WipeRight()
Dim ShpName As String
Dim Sld As Integer
On Error GoTo Nope
ShpName = ActiveWindow.Selection _
.ShapeRange(1).Name
Sld = ActiveWindow.Selection _
.SlideRange(1).SlideNumber
With ActivePresentation.Slides(Sld).TimeLine
.MainSequence.AddEffect ActivePresentation _
.Slides(Sld).Shapes(ShpName), _
Effectid:=msoAnimEffectWipe, _
Level:=msoAnimateLevelNone, _
Trigger:=msoAnimTriggerNone, _
Index:=.MainSequence.Count + 1
.MainSequence(.MainSequence.Count).EffectParameters _
.Direction = msoAnimDirectionRight
.MainSequence(.MainSequence.Count).Behaviors(1) _
.Timing.Duration = 5
End With
Exit Sub
Nope:
ShpName = MsgBox("Nope, can't do it.", _
vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Not a valid shape")
End Sub
========End Macro Code==========
Then, customize your toolbar to run the macro from a single button click.
(Personally, I'd just change the settings as I add the effects.)
