Shiren talk reminded me of how I really liked one of the boss gimmicks in Shiren 4, basically the final boss for the main story of that game is super slow so you can do 4 turns before he gets a move, but his attacks are insanely powerful and you're going to have to spend some of those turns positioning yourself if you don't want to eat shit and die instantly. I thought it'd make for a great gimmick for a Regigigas fight, maybe it could have a phase 2 where slow start finally wears off and you have to deal with him at full speed, or he gets slowly back to normal speed throughout the fight. The fight in Explorers gives him slow start but just throws mooks at you to hold you off until slow start is over, at which point the fight turns into a normal PMD boss and he dies too quickly for slow start wearing off to be notable.
Anyone have any boss gimmick ideas for other legendaries? Totally won't steal them for the PMD romhack/fangame I'll never make.
