The current direction of this franchise is fucking shit.
Pandering to fans that enjoy Mega faggotry ain't it. Having a "Supermon" just goes against what Pokemon is all about.
Gimmicks like Mega evolution that are exclusive to a certain number of Pokemon out of 1000+ is retarded.
And now they lock shit behind day 1 DLC and forced online battles.
But nuPokemon niggers will slurp this up like no tomorrow.

Dynashit lost lol

Holy seethe grandpa, let's get you back to bed.

How else is game freak supposed to tell people which Pokemon are shillmons and which are worthless fodder?
>>
>>58263870
You know full well Dynamax will come back with new Gigantamax forms when the time demands it.
>>
>>58263866
Having a supermon as your partner is literally everything Pokemon stands for, unc. Get with it.
>>
>>58263866
megas look cool but I agree something like tera forms are much better mechanically because they are universal to the playable roster.
>>
>>58263866
calm down chud, youre getting youre embort mega.

You lost, FAG. The people have spoken. EVERYONE loves MEGAS. The reception to the mega reveals makes it painfully clear. Megas WILL return in Gen 10 and there's NOTHING you can do about it. You lost!

Blame reddit

>>58263938
>Megas WILL return in Gen 10
Yeah, nah they won't kek. Also gen10 can do whatever the fuck it wants. Competitive battling will be held with Champions moving forward and if you think they won't use this opportunity to introduce a new gimmick, then I am not sorry to say that you are a massive retard.
>>
>>58263943
Stream your suicide when Mega KINO returns in Gen 10!
>>
>>58263943
Megas are here to stay, they just wont make new ones for the shitters not worthy of them. But the shillmons who got them will have them forever.
>>
>>58263870
Sad to think in 4-5 years people will be begging for dynamax back saying it was peak

Wahh, cry some more. Nobody cares about equal share gimmicks that came after Megas.
>>
>>58263866
Megas are the worst thing to happen to the Pokemon franchise
>>
>>58263866
This is just straight up wrong.
Bonding with your partner Pokémon has been one of the most significant core values of the franchise. This pairs with the battling core value. We pick our favourites not because they are strong but because we resonate with their theme as a whole. Mega evolution ensures that your pokemon is now also capable because you “met” that condition. If you need to hate a gimmick it should be either gigantamax or Tera. Where those two are more region based lore.

I will agree with you that not enough have megas, I don’t think ALL should have one because it will END their potential evolutionary line. It’s natural that some pokemon are still not completely finished in their evolutionary line.
>>
>>58263960
Yeah in Champions. I doubt future games will always have Megas.
>>
>>58264005
You cared enough to reply
>>
>>58264017
No mega is dogshit no amount of bonding is gonna turn your shitty Raticate into Mega Raticate. At least with dyna and tera it's a universal mechanic.
>>
>>58264022
Your fault for using a worthless piece is shit fodder in, diddums.
>>
>>58264022
I mean if you polish a turd it’s still a turd so yeah I guess point proven that not all pokemon should get a mega.

I’m so sorry that Raticate is your favourite.
>>
>>58263866
>Having a "Supermon" just goes against what Pokemon is all about
No it isn’t. It’s perfectly in line with Pokémon’s philosophy of pokemon and trainers growing stronger in tandem with one another, via their bond. They spell this out to you at the end of the first game with Blue and Oak, again with Silver in GSC, and then again in BW/2 with N/Ghetsis/Colress.
>>
>>58264026
Why are you begging for your "bro" to get a Mega? Don't you love it just the way it is? Is your love for your "bro" directly tied to its competitive viability? Then you don't actually love your bro and never did.
>>
>>58264041
NTA but I don't care about competitive shit. I just want my bro to get a cool new form. Simple as.
>>
>>58264034
Nigger the strongest Pokemons are all legendaries and they all basic Pokemons as well.
>muh bond
Mega is very little about bonding and more about having the right mega stone and the bracelet with it. So don't be yapping about no Pokemon philosophy cause you got no fucking clue, Rajeesh.
>>
>>58264041
This is a weird angle considering the vast majority of megas just build upon an original design. Again, resonating with an overall theme is important. It’s hard to dislike something when the thing you like is becoming more of the thing you like????

Annnnd who cares if you happen to like the mega more than the base Mon? Thats a completely different conversation.

>>58264078
Except this is exactly what it is though. For all intents and purposes it has been simplified. You can only do it once per battle because of whatever energy that bracelet is using should be used on your favorite. Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t have to be this way, Pokémon has so many species because it IS diverse.

Also the third core value of pokemon is evolution. Not being able to mega evolve is in fact part of that core value that not all pokemon are at the definitive end of their evolutionary line.

Core values:
Bonding, collecting, battling, evolving.

Mega evolution actually hits 3 of those core values of the franchise and is still relevant to the 4th - collecting because that’s a natural occurrence in obtaining your favourite.
>>
>>58264078
Also for clarity, I don’t give a shit if my favs mega was dogshit tier in battle. I would still use it.

Mega isn’t just about increasing competitive viability. It’s the benefit of prioritising one as your fav.
>>
>>58264137
Yeah, but who says your fav is going to get a mega in the first place? All this bond nonsense you cope with is not even represented in the game. Pokemon that will get picked for mega evolution is mostly based on how marketable they are.

*emotion from black and white plays*
I wish my bro iron bundle had a mega….
not really I do like megas and iron bundle tho
>>
>>58264150
How the fuck is DRAMPA marketable? Or Audino?
>>
>>58264160
Drampa is a dragon and Audino is coombait.
>>
>>58263870
nvke
>>
>>58264160
One of the things they do is look at player statistics in competitive and pick based off that, so like literally a shitmon getting buffs to disrupt the meta.
Not a mega but >>58264155
this is basically the same thing
>>
>>58263892
>second most popular gimmick
I mean it is the strongest gimmick for sure but 2nd most popular? I don't believe you at all.
>>
>>58264026
>Only mons I deem appropriate should get a mega
>>
I’ve just accepted that like 60% of players are extremely anti competitive and 30% only play Smogon where they pretend megas are new Pokemon and tier them individually so we’re stuck with this crap. Amoongus+Incineroar+(Mega) teams till the end of time
>>
>>58263960
Just like how we got new Megas in Gen 7, Gen 8, and SV, right?
>>
>>58263866
Can’t get mad if you don’t buy the game
>>
>>58264299
FUCK I DID NOOO
>>
>TPC makes a permanent home for all gimmicks in a competitive way(giving more reason for GF to make new gimmicks, or to revamp different ones rather than sit on the same one)
>clearly this must mean GF will just spam megas in every future game
How the fuck would you even reach this conclusion. Its iffy they'd even keep megas for this exact reason.
Whats more impressive looking, Gen 10 bringing forth a new flashy gimmick to completely shift champions or the one people have been using for a whole year at that point.
Outside of a "small gimmick" like z moves being the gen 10 one, i just don't think this is likely. And it sure as shit isn't going to last till past that.
>>
>>58263866
>And now they lock shit behind day 1 DLC and forced online battles
Third versions that resold you the same game with minor add ons
Anything involving Raid distribution

Please stop pretending any of this is new
>>
>>58263866
BOO HOO THEN, KEEP CRYING. I hope it gets worse specifically because it makes you mad lmao.
>>
>>58263874
>NOT buy it?
With how easy to pirate nintendo stuff is I never saw a reason to buy their games.
>>
>The current direction of this franchise is fucking shit.
>saying this in 2025 instead of 2019 at the absolute latest
>>
>>58263866
Why did they give Charizard Y human legs
>>
>>58263874
>How else is game freak supposed to tell people which Pokemon are shillmons
ah yes popular shillmon Barbaracle
>>
>>58263866

Seems like you triggered a couple of them.
>>

Do you need your Gameboy with a copy of Pokemon Red, Gramps?

There's been "supermons" since day one kid, you just refuse to adapt to their existence.
