>Regional variants are dumb
The concept is good, great even. It's Game Freak's shitty implementation that's dumb.

The idea itself is not dumb, it's just that 90% of the designs so far have been retarded.

You're right about the rest, though.

Megas and Regional Variants are great concepts that are executed poorly and just need to be given a different approach to be good.
Z-Moves would be good if it was just the status ones and not the dumb nukes.
The rest are bad full stop.

This. But for some reason GF thinks that regional forms needs to be silly.
Just because people meme'd about Exeggutor and Dugtrio, it doesn't mean that people didn't like Ninetales or Sandslash.

Pretty much agree

Yeah it really is
>Z-Moves are dumb
Good concept with poor execution, the need for a crystal is just retarded and pointless. They should've retconned it as special attacks of Mega evolutions
>Regional variants are dumb
They give useless shitmon like Exeggutor and Weezing some well deserved attention and make them more viable by changing the typing
I just can't understand why Mega evolutions and Regional variants are bad according to you, you give no arguments

My problem with regional variants is that they are forever stuck in those games. They are in a sense temporary Pokemon.

I don't understand this argument at all, isn't that the point of regional variants? What's the point of having an Alolan Raichu in Hoenn?

I didn't say it was pointless, I said I didn't like it. I don't want temporary Pokemon. I'd prefer variants that weren't locked to a specific region, or just regular evolutions, split evolutions, etc.

Alolan Ninetails is really cool. I sure wish I it wasn't permanently confined to Sun and Moon.

>Dynamaxing is dumb
I can't really be bothered to feel strongly one way or another towards it, it's a boring as fuck gimmick.
>Gigantamaxing is dumb
It's basically like megas; why would I dynamax a pokemon when I can gigantamax and get some OP move? And you just know they're gonna give gigantamax to some pokemon that's already more than strong enough without it.
>Z-moves
Z-moves are dumb EXCEPT Z-status moves are cool. That alone makes it a redeemable gimmick.
>Mega evolution
A good idea executed poorly, it should be reserved for poorly-performing pokemon who already have a third evolution.
>Regional variants are dumb
The ones that we've seen are dumb, yes. It's not an inherently bad idea but the execution is basically just making them whacky and silly in some way for Galar.
>Region-specific evolutions are dumb
They're better than nothing, but just a regular evolution would be a lot better.

Not all Gigantamax moves have been superior to their Dynamax counterparts. Charizard in particular has one that is shittier than MAX FIRE.

I see a lot of people defend the idea of regional variations by saying it breathes new like into Pokemon, but I really question the logic. My main and biggest complaint with them is, what is a regional variation?

A regional variant Pokemon can have a different design, typing, stat distribution, movepool, evolution method, and now just plain new evolutions.

At this point what makes them different from just being considered a brand new Pokemon? It's just a way to rehash an older design. And this is purely on a gameplay level. Aesthetically, they're absolutely a mixed bag. Most of the regional variations feel way too divorced from the original designs or could pass as alternate evolutions, like Exeggutor. I feel like I'd like them a lot more if they were treated as less major changes, like just change the typing or ability.

The same thing reason dog breeds aren’t considered new species. You don’t like regional variants, I pity you and you shit taste.

I think it would be good if it meant GF would make the same number of fully new pokemon they would without variants, then add variants which would boost the dex numbers. but they won't so who cares

Anon we aren't even getting all the REGULAR Pokemon in games anymore. You think we're gonna get fucking alolan dugtrio in a game ever again? They've got new meme-mons to shill like Weezing and Sir Fetched. And those will be tossed aside in the next games.

Form any Kanto version of a Pokemon in Galar that has an Alola Form, the Alola Form will be obtainable through an in-game trade and/Home. Alolan Raichu, Vulpix, Diglet and Meowth are all coded in Swsh.
