>>45886546>just like you got handed a Z-Ring, just for playing though SM/USM.Wow I didn't think of it like that. Just like how we got handed the Underground Kit in Platinum and the Accessory Case in BW!
Both things they made toys for.
I can't believe Pokemon has been doing regional gimmick shit since Gen 4. (The first 3D gen, too!)
Even assuming you're not being a disingenuous retard, the Mega Ring actually had a use in Tretta as a dongle, and it affected gameplay. All the Z-Ring and Dynamax Bands do is flash and light up or play sounds from the anime.
It's two different toylines you're referencing.
