However, I really hope there isn't any crazy gimmick GF is introducing in Gen 8, and would rather they just expand upon what they already have: New Megas, new UBs, and maybe a few new signature Z-moves and regional formes, even if the last one clashes with new Megas as I'm sure the GF employees tasked with giving old Pokemon either feature has to choose which one to give.
