He’s here. If u even care
>>724270598Game Freak keeps adding these cool concepts like Ultra Beasts, Paradox Pokemon and such only to drop them the generation after and go back to a previously abandoned concept like Megas
>>724270598i dont but thanks anyways
>>724270817They should have stuck with mega evolutions.All the other gimmicks are forced trash.
Welcome back Metal Sonic
pokemon is too bloated now>ie. wide as an ocean but as deep as a pond
>>724271978Terastallization > Mega Evolution > Z-Moves > GigantimaxIt's fucked up that the Gen 9 gimmick (whose name I had to look up how to spell) looks so fucking retarded because it's the best one they've ever made from a raw battle perspective.
>>724270817It’s better if the special Pokemon like Ultra Beasts and Paradoxes just remain as groups from a single generation, makes them even more interesting, although actually you know what maybe adding one or two of them at some point wouldn’t be too bad. Yes I changed my mind halfway through this post.
OUTTA MY WAY VIOLET FUCKING SHITS
>>724270817that's intentional, a "new generation" is primarily intended as a transient line refresh for the merchandising in the same way toy companies would spend an entire year in a franchise where everything is like vac-metal chromed or made of translucent plastic
>>724272309I skipped 8. The gimmick was that bad huh
>>724270598this shit and ecologically similar pokemon are retardedthe fuck you mean its not donphan, its clearly donphanits not a wholly separate pokemonno one is gonna remember that things nameits metal robot donphan, call it paradox donphan.thats not your OC do not steal toadscool, you just took tentacool and painted him pinkthats just a regional variant of tentacool.check out my COMPLETELY distinct character Mash Mustard.
>>724270817I think they keep revisiting the same ideas, but tweaking the finer mechanical points and reintroducing them with different lore. G-Max isn't that different from Mega Evolution, and Paradox Pokemon aren't that different from Ultra Beasts.
>>724274796What a stupid post
>>724274980It's smart actually
>>724270817Because their new designs are garbage and they know it, so it's easier to just take an old Pokemon and give it a Mega or regional form or whatever.
>>724270817Ultra Beasts were severely underutilized, but I guess Paradox Pokemon were easier to create since they could just pick an older Pokemon and put a new coat of paint on it, while Ultra Beasts were brand new Pokemon. Ironic because UBs also came on the same generation that introduced regional forms. In terms of gimmickmons, I'd rank them:>Mega Evolutions > Ultra Beasts >Regional Pokemon > Scarlet Paradox Pokemon > Violet Paradox Pokemon > Terastalization > Dyna/Gigantamax
