>>39654732At this point I'm not even sure if pokemon needs such 'new' gimmicks. Something innocuous like walking pokemon or regional forms are the only kind of gimmicks that should be kept forever, but OP criticized the game for it. I didn't buy pokemon in gen 3/4/5 for gimmicks like megas or dynamax or whatever it's called, and these gimmicks wouldn't make it any more likely to make me a buyer.
Point is, things like megas and dynamax are the kind of shit that does more harm than anything else. More of the same is better than FOTM shit that doesn't bring new people in, nor retains the old playerbase.
