>>51757731When they decided to spend every new gen just making a temporary gimmick that won't carry over in later games instead of either reworking existing mechanics or adding something permanent to the formula. Gen 6 was the last time something new and permanent was added in fairy types and the steel type rework. The ones after have only made the gimmick their main draw that's supposed to separate them from the others.
>Gen 7 is gen 6 with z moves>Gen 8 is gen 6 with dynamax >Gen 9 is gen 6 with terastalizingI think it'd be cool if they tried adding something permanent that can last. Or they can work with stuff they already have, but making them more of a focus than they might've been to other games. Like how colosseum/XD were exclusively double battles. I think they could explore games with where the other battle styles are more emphasized.
