What’s been your favourite gimmick so far?
I like the designs of Megas, but I dislike their impermanence. Should’ve been exclusive to Pokémon over a certain BST since it’s cut off evos for Pokémon that would’ve benefitted more from those. Also should’ve been limited in the story and used more by NPCs.
Z-Moves were trash. In-game it was just “hurdurr nuke every battle”. The unskippable dances were cancer and the animations were mediocre.
I like Dynamax on paper. Every ‘Mon can use them, you can only use them in battles where the foe can Dynamax, and Gigantamax is a way to give special treatment without fucking over every other ‘Mon. They’re also alright in VGC. They’re fucking awful in comp singles though and “just gets bigger” makes it aesthetically the lamest.
Styles were very fun but suffered from PLA’s lack of long battles and Pokémon being even more frail than they are in the main series. They’d need to be heavily refined before being used again IMO.
So I’d have to go with styles overall.
