>>42771787If a 2 foot taller than you man with a little bit of a muscle chub body type came onto you, you wouldn’t be all about that? Either subbing for him because of his dominance or doming him because of the taboo of the smaller guy being dom is awesome and its not deviant at all.
I think all three effects have their place.
Zmoves in Rotation battles since rotation battles were already very dependent on reading your opponent so trying to figure which of the opponent’s mon had the z crystal would have been part of the poker game and you could make your opponent really feel dumb by rotating to the right defensive mon when your opponent uses their z move.
Dmax would have been fun in triple battles since the placement of the mon you dmax would matter more. You can go on the offensive by placing your dmaxer in the middle and then your max airstream would buff your entire team, but your opponent could pressure you with 3 different attacks on your dmaxed pokemon and end it early, so maybe you would rather have it on one of the sides.
Megas only ever belonged in doubles. They are to easy to set up and sweep in singles.
