My main problem with it was that those special gigantamax forms were locked to special pokemon you HAD to catch in dynamax dens. It should have been that ALL snorlax looked like that when they dynamaxed, like megas.

Letting you actually dynamax every pokemon you want was good. Going out of your way to again make snowflake forms was bad.

One of them is literally a meme, you can't get more bootlicker then that.
Literally the only good ones are Alcremie, Garbodor, Gengar, Centiskorch and Duraludon.

Not really, gigtantamax was just edgy nonsense at times like Charizard being this huge dragon with wings of flames, sounds like something a kid would draw in his notebook during class.
>>
>>56750277
The description on the right fits Gigtantamax more than it does Megas. Very few gigtantamax designs make aesthetic sense and ones like Meowth were just done for the meme.

I gotta be honest? I actually really liked dynamax and gigantimax as a gimmick, but only in the story and in the pve stuff. in the pvp aspect, it felt too darn strong.
>>
I think Dynamax would've been cooler if there were giant bosses roaming the wild (like the Titans in Xenoblade, or whatever they're called). This actually happens in the story, but Leon deals with it off screen and pats you on the head.

>>56752437
I accept your concession then.

I don't really see anyone asking for D-Max to come back and it's not considered an interesting mechanic from a gameplay standpoint the way Tera is. I honestly struggle to find anything about Dmax that's good that doesn't also apply to Mega Evolution.
It definitely feels like Dmax was the generational gimmick made to be replaced the fastest.

Why were so many G-Max moves worse then their D-Max counterparts?

A total of 12 people really liked Dynamax.
The vast majority of people hated Dynamax.

>>56750242
Felt like this look would have suited Torterra better. Weird it didn't get a giant form.

>>56752857
Prease understand the KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO starters needed more pandering forms

>>56752867
Only Charizard had one until the dlc. Venusaur and Blastoise got some really ugly forms too.

>Create a bunch of models and unique designs for a select few Pokemon
>Besides the KANTOOOOOO starters and Coalossal, no one used Gigantamax because regular Dynamaxing better Pokemon with also likely better Max Effects
If Dynamax was just for the G-max Pokemon and disabled your item, I think Dynamax wouldn’t have been hated as much.

No
None of the Gigantimaxes were actually worth using, and in most cases were objectively worse than not using them, only exceptions being Lapras who was still a waste of a teamslot and just worse than Alolan Ninetails, and Shitizard as a maybe

Some of these could probably be swapped between each side without anyone batting an eye. Machamp, Butterfree, and Drednaw could probably be used as Megas.

>Gigantimax?
No, it was terrible and defeated the purpose of Dynamax, being the "universal and dynamic" gimmick. It lead to the same team building constraints that Megas and Z moves did, namely having to pick your gimmick user ahead of time and being forced to choose between bringing it into a bad matchup or not bringing it at all, both of which hurt you.
>Dynamax in general?
VGC players seemed to like it. It greatly expanded team building options. Instead of having to dedicate a third to a half of your team as an Amoongus counter, you just needed to make sure you had something that could Max Lightning or Max Starstorm. Instead of needing a dedicated anti-weather you just needed something that could Max Geyser, Max Hailstorm, Max Flare, or Max Rockfall. It gave setup options to Pokemon that didn't have them through the use of passing buffs to your partner. Best of all, any Pokemon could do it, so no matter the matchup you could always find a Pokemon to use it on.

People saying that these being silly and rediciouclous as being a good thing are wrong. They look dumb. This is supposed to be some kinda boss battle move. And none of the dynamax pokemon aside from very few actually look cool and threatening. This is just a building wow. Who gets scared of buildings? Who thinks buildings are silly? It doesnt work at all for what its going for.
