Megas: Horrible, should be evos and not used by already good mons like Garchomp
Z moves: fun and silly, best part is that they don't ruin any pokemon, they're just something you can tack on if you want. Sableye will never get an evo now
Regional variants: very lame, just make more Pokemon
Armored: Fuck off

Not fine, shouldn't exist

agreed, but better than mega
>Regional variants: BASED
No thanks, changing types and movesets of existing pokemon isn't cool
>Armored: Fuck off
I refuse to believe this is real, all talk of armor is reference to the mewtwo movie and doesn't relate to medieval armor or ShSw

Megas: Nice concept, not very well implemented. I think megas should have been for those not so strong pokemon that do not need to evolve, like Absol, Mawile or Sableye. But not for already huge strong pokemon like Aggron that only needed a buff.

Z-Moves: Boring concept, implementation was cringe.

Regioanl variants:Nice concept, but wasn't very well implemented since it only applied to pokémon from Kanto and some of them were not so nice (Dugtrio).

Armored: Doesn't seem very promising, but.. I wouldn't mid, I don't want to see a Charizard wielding a sword though

Agree 100% with you, OP.
I don't think the armor thing is real, but we're definitely getting something this gen. They're talking too much about "forging".

My thoughts exactly. Bring back Megas, don't care for Z-moves, don't mind Regional variants, and PLEASE let Armored evolutions be fake.

fine enough, but the bias was painfully obvious
>Z Moves
good concept, but the animations take way too long and get old after the first couple times you see them
>regional variants
God tier idea, shit tier execution. The fact that we ONLY got new forms from Gen 1 was total horseshit.
>armored forms
retarded idea, Charizard and Mewtwo don't need more fucking forms, why not just throw in some new megas for Unova which got fucking one or Kalos and Alola which got nothing?

I really hope Gen 8 doesn't have another retarded gimmick like Megas or Z Moves. What the fuck is the point if you're literally just going to abandon the feature three years later?

It became cringe the moment they decided to have a new unecessary gimmick every gen.

Megas were unecessary and cringe, but it would have been an alright addition if they had kept only this and kept expanding on it in Gen 7, 8....etc.
But ditching it for Z-move and then Z-moves for armor bullshit...etc is cringe as fuck.
It's quantity and forced change over quality and it ruins the universe

Technically they've done that since gen 2.

But don't you prefer those old species of pokemon having a second chance at being viable, instead of rotting in ZU hell? Alolan Muk was the best thing to happen to muk in forever.

Armored: The fuck is this

Quoted By:

Megas and regional variants were unfair as gimmicks, because they directly altered the fundamental balance and concept of certain pokemon. I can accept them as, lore-wise, specific to the region and its setting, but the scope of them was too great, particularly with Megas kicking off the trend of flashey gimmicks per region. Z-moves were much better because they won't be nearly as missed as the other two and their in-universe explanation for being limited to SM/USUM is fairly sound (in contrast to regional variants).

They've changed types to reflect new types being introduced and altered movesets to add new moves, but this is the only time we've had a complete overhaul of several pokemon. I don't really care how viable they are competitively, most pokemon are usable to some degree

I honestly don't think it will. They use those gimmicks to try and justify the formula getting stagnant, but at least now they have the whole console excuse for them to not feel obligated. Plus the logos in the past incorporated Z crystals and megastones, but this game just has the stadium symbol incorporated in the logo. Stadiums are just replacement gyms, so I'm guessing they'll be more than that and they'll try and push shitty stadium minigames as this games gimmick.

Megas: Fucking terrible. The designs are some of the worst the series the series has ever seen, so good thing they're not ever coming back. Also the one-per-team thing encourages the use of certain Pokemon, fuck you with this shilling garbage.
Z-Moves: Power Creep taken to the extreme, fuck this shit. Also, signature moves are pandering and have stupidly embarrassing names.
Formes: Fuck off with this shit, adds even more unnecessary legendaries. Should have kept it solely for Deoxys and Arceus.

Megas: Should have exclusively been used to boost NU pokemon. Mega Beedrill was an example of doing it right. Also one of the few stellar designs.

Z-Moves: Boring and stupid. pls go!

Regional variants: Just make new pokemon brah.

Armored: I kiiiinda like the concept of sacrificing a slot on your team to boost another pokemon. But it's getting really convoluted.

Mega:Concept is fine but it wasn't well implemented: pokémon who were still able to get a regular new evolution should have got one instead and giving mega to already stong pokémon was a mistake. Also not a fan of giving legendaries not!Megas.

Z moves: They were a good idea for "competitive" pokémon but made the game even easier

Regional variants: The best idea they ever had regarding new form.

Armored: we aren't even sure it's real so giving an opinion right now would be retarded.

>megas
Should have been alternate evolution paths instead, like bellossom and politoed. Instead they eat into held items and completely deprecate the original pokemon, while having no penalty for the powerup. You can attack on the same turn as you megavovle.
>Z moves
Should've just been normal moves instead of some new gimmick. Moveset changes and stat changes are the way you balance a pokemon, strapping nukes on everything isn't.
>regional variants
Not a bad idea at all. It breathes new life into old mons.

Battle formes are cool and Megas were the worst way to do them

Whoever came up with Z moves can choke on dick

The only thing wrong with regional variants is it took GF seven generations to make them
