>Megas gave [thing which is no different than simply having another mon]
You're just reiterating what I said. Megas are meh compared to Dynamax. Mega Evolutions largely amounted to giving chosen Pokemon super forms that are mostly better than other Pokemon but have no hold item and are mostly inferior as they switch in (other than the comedy of the megas that had Intimidate in their previous form, man Mega Salamence was such a mistake). Other than Mega Salamence they were mostly fun and interestingly designed Pokemon, but the mechanic amounted to little more than adding some new Pokemon.

Dynamax is the best super mechanic in the series for all the reasons OP stated, and yes it has tradeoffs, that's one of the things which makes it so good.

/snbi/ - Still Not Buying It General

Anonymous Fri 23 Oct 2020 17:53:30 No.45191872 View View Report

Quoted By:

Sticky barb edition

>What is Still Not Buying It?
Still Not Buying It is a movement that started here on /vp/ in reaction to the extremely low quality Pokemon games, Sword and Shield. Despite millions of braindead consoomers purchasing the low effort cash grabs known as Sword and Shield, there is a strong opposition of devoted anons who refuse to encourage GameFreak's laziness and incompetence with their hard-earned cash.

>Ok, but WHY are people still not buying it?
Many have given upon the franchise completely, as the amount of effort put into these games has arguably been on the decline for close to 10 years now. Detractors will write everyone off as "dexcels" (people upset with the pokemon not being available in sword and shield), but there's a laundry list of problems with the game that prove that it was a rushed and frankly inexecusable effort on Gamefreak's part.

>Alright, so how do I join?
It's simple. In any thread you see on /vp/, all you have to say is "Still not buying it", something along those lines to show you're dedicated to voting with your wallet. It also helps to shame those who have willingly and knowingly supported GameFreak despite understanding these games are not worth the asking price. While it seems many are too far gone to recover, everyone has a breaking point, so it's important to welcome disenfranchised fans of the series with open arms when they too have had enough with supporting Gamefreak's lies, rushed games, and incompetency.

>One more thing...

Decidedly not true. Every new generation introduces some notable if not significant changes to the game mechanics.

>Gen 2
Weather
Steel + Dark typings
Hazards
Day night cycle
Special Split
Rematches
Genders
Breeding
Custom Pokeballs
Equippable items
Shiny pokemon
Battle Facility

>Gen 3
Abilities
Natures
Double battles
Upgraded pc storage system
Contests
IV system

>Gen 4
Phys/Spec split(!!!)
Wifi functionality
Limitless item bag

>Gen 5
Infinite TMs
Combined centers with marts
Can trade direct from the PC
Poison no longer inflicts damage outside of battle
Sleep switch refresh
Hidden Abilities

>Gen 6
Fully 3D graphics
PSS (best online features in the series)
Pokemon Amie
Horde encounters (best EV training method in the series)
Drastically improved breeding mechanics
Character customization
PR videos
Fairy-type
Mega Evolution
Super Training
Riding Pokemon in the overworld

>Gen 7
Z moves
Regional Variants
Removal of HMs
completely revamping the way the story goes on (no more 8 gyms that had been a staple since the beginning).

>Gen 8
Dynamax/Gigantamax (best mechanic since phys/spec split)
Wild Area
Raid battles
Online Ranked
Being able to change natures.
Being able to pass egg moves without having to ditch your Pokemon.
Being able to use 26 vitamins for one stat rather than 10.
Being able to relearn moves for free instead of Luvdisc grinding.
Being able to access the PC anywhere and always being able to look through the PC for prompts that ask to select a Pokemon.
various other QoL additions

This is without going into more specific stuff that changes how each generation plays (e.g. new mons, items, abilities, moves). Just because they didn't go full retard and betray the core gameplay of the series like muh BotW ubisoft open world meme doesn't mean every game is the same.

I often find the suggestion that X and Y were a step down bizarre. X and Y had the best online interface, the biggest region, and the best story of any games in the series. X and Y made several really good balance tweaks to the overall engine (nerfing Drizzle and Drought was an A+ idea), and mega evolution was a pretty great subsystem for a lot of reasons. I have various complaints about the games that came after X and Y, not that they were bad just not as good, but X and Y themselves seem to me to be a clear high point in the franchise.

The upside that SwSh haters don't want you to hear

Quoted By:

The year Pachirisu was used VGC was limited to the Kalos dex only, and within the context of the Kalos dex, Pachirisu just happened to be a useful anti-meta Follow Me user. Had the whole national dex been allowed, Pachirisu wouldn't have been used, and Pachirisu was really never used again in any subsequent year. This quite undercuts /vp/'s argument. Restrictions in team building allow weaker Pokemon who otherwise are outclassed to find purpose, period. I have every confidence competitive Pokemon will have just about precisely the same level of diversity as always. What the cut does mean for competitive Pokemon is just that the arrow of power creep is going to point the other way and a Pokemon won't need to be quite as good to see success. This effect will, within a good approximation, exactly cancel out with the lower selection (still a lot of choices) to create a field of useful Pokemon of about the same size as before. There are no negatives as far as battling is concerned.

It's a good choice. Looking at current Galardex, all of the relevant mons like Lucario pseudo legends etc are already confirmed to be in. Any fan favorites along the lines of Salamance, Tyranitar, etc. are a shoo-in. They will drop a lot of starters and legendaries, along with shitmon like the Pidove and Finneon lines, that nobody gives a fuck about. Most of the pokemon with unique roles in competitive battling will probably still be around. It's just that some of the fluff is getting cut. We don't need 8 regional bird, rodent, and bug-type pokemon. We don't need 8 sets of starters, most of whom are irrelevant competitively. We don't need 8 sets of overpowered legendaries.
