How exactly would you have portrayed the gimmick or dynamax, then? We know it’s a gimmick, already.

Can't wait to see how people try to get around this and say megas aren't a gimmick. Pokemon itself is against them and they'll probably still try.

Everyone posting that it's gimmicks being represented and not just iconic generational concepts... Is it just Gen war faggatry? I guess only Gen 1 had a Pokédex, and Gen 2 eggs and breeding?

Being a gimmick doesn't necessarily mean something gets removed, but 5/8 of the things in the image were, so it makes more sense to call them all gimmicks than to go "well actually these are an exception because they're still in the games".

I'm more talking about the people stating Mega forms and Z-moves are considered gimmicks so they won't return, and that Dynamax isn't represented, so therefore it isn't a gimmick, and more relevant.

So which is it? The pic references gimmicks or it doesn't?
Because by that logic, the Pokedex, breeding, poffins, pokeblocks/contests, and musicals are all gimmicks as well. And seeing how either or both of the games on Switch have none of these-- they also fit the bill.
This thread is dynacuck cope incarnate.

That really does feel like a reach and an admission that the gen brought nothing defining as a whole.

Aren't megas technically more of a Gens 1-4 gimmick? Gens 5 and 6 only have one of them.

I'd consider something a gimmick of a particular generation if it appeared once and never again.

Gen 1 - partner Pikachu
Gen 2 - two regions
Gen 3 - secret bases
Gen 4 - pokeball seals
Gen 5 - entralink and dreamworld
Gen 6 - Mega evo
Gen 7 - Z-moves
Gen 8 - dynamax

I know that both secret bases and mega evolutions appeared in the next generation too, but there was so much less focus on them that they might as well not exist.

No one argues that mega isn't a gimmick it's just that it's a gimmick some people wish was fleshed out and developed.

No, there are literally people on /vp/ who insist that megas aren't a gimmick because they got used by side games. It's mega fans who want them to come back to the main series, and think denial will change the fact that they were left behind in gen 8. Just look at any remake discussion thread and you'll probably see them. Or one of the anniversary threads from today.

Gen 2 had breeding, day and night cycle with evolution tied to it, the pokegear with all the things it did, a battle tower, shinys, and decorating your room. I feel like there's more I'm forgetting. Gen 2 had several neat things.
