Someone explain to me why GameFreak has to delete a gimmick every gen and come up with a new one?

Why can't they just ADD new features?

because you'll buy it anyway, diddums.

>>58263704
because if a feature is too popular nobody will use their new gimmick so they have to take it away from you and FORCE you to use it
>>
>>58263704
it's only happened in gen 8 and 9 even. It's probably because they realized mega evolution was TOO well received for them to be able to ignore without extra nonsense. I expect them to have all of them in gen 10 + champions, then skip all of them in gen 11 but keep them in champions, then bring them all back with certain limitations in gen 12+. Maybe limit to only 1 gimmick per team on top of only getting to use that gimmick once (so, you have to choose between dyna, tera, mega, and z.

During one of their interviews in SwSh, Masuda stated that they don't like to reuse a feature until they can give it a "surprising" new twist. His example was the Rotom Bike, meaning they only brought the bike back because they thought that it being able to go over water and boost made it a refreshing new feature and that the bike would not have been in the game had they not thought of that. It's also why regional forms keep having new shit slapped on (regional exclusives, convergents and paradoxes).
So essentially, yes, they're retarded and it is reasonable to fear they have some wack shit prepared for megas in ZA likely related to Zygarde.

It's to make every game feel "unique" and to resell old features in 3 gens as a hype event
>>
>>58263704
The gimmicks are shit and Generation 7 was a mistake. NO ONE wants zmoves, dynamax, or terashit.

I can still hear the Galar bike grinding in my head. That awful noise contributed to not even emulating games released after it.

>>58263704
There gets to a point where there is simply too much.
They should have just stopped with battle gimmicks after Z-moves.
>>
>>58263704
you're literally seeing why right now, adding and taking away gimmicks means they can build hype when they bring them back

I want off this circus. It's being run by the clowns.

>>58263704
Battles in general get cluttered if they had to support multiple gimmicks. Yes, megas in Gen 7 were a mistake.

>my Switch frame-rate when I enter Ballonlea in Sword

>>58263704
Alola having both Megas and Z moves at the same time was pushing things.
Now imagine trying to juggle Megas, Z moves, Dynamax, and Tera for online play.
Opponent has a Scizor out, what are they gonna do?
Normally it’s only a few options. Use 1 or 2 different attacks they will realistically use, and Switch out.
Now add in Mega Evolving, using 2 realistic Z moves, using Dynamax + 3 realistic Max moves, using Tera and having multiple different types it can use, and just attacking regularly.
>>
>>58264963
tbf k-pop stars are specifically designed to be attactive.
>>
>>58263704
Because it's cultural appropriation.
Non-Alolans should not be allowed to use Z-Moves. Non-Frenchies should not be allowed to Mega Evolve.

And from what I remember, Dynamaxing and Terastallizing have lore reasons why they are trapped within their own regions or whatever
>>
>>58263704
They've basically admitted it's to keep old games selling. "We want each game to be unique"

Consider also that you guys complain about EVERYTHING so they might think taking a break from some features helps the complainers shut up.
>>
>>58265728
just limit 1 gimmick per team. Choose between mega, dyna, z, and tera. Or just scrap the last 3.
>>
>>58266560
>it's the fans' faults that gamefreak are retarded!
>>
>>58265728
Having all the gimmicks is one thing (which Champions will prove eventually) but making them all accessible in one game means having to come up with places to put all the trinkets and explaining what they're all doing in one region
>>
>>58266560
literally nobody complained about PSS and they've still yet to make a system anywhere close to it since
>>
>>58266596
That's what post-game battle facilities are for. Whoops!
>>
>>58266582
In a way, yes. Every new game in the main series breaks sales records despite it being objectively worst than the last one. Paypiggies will eat that shit up and pretend it's the finest beef!
