This line reminds me of the corrupt League plot that people were speculating about before the game released. Team Yell, Piers and Marnie being against not just the League but the way Rose pushes for the usage of Dynamax across the region would've been more interesting than Sword and Shield's "plot" that doesn't exist until suddenly Rose goes insane about the Darkest Day.

It's not that the plot doesn't exist until it suddenly does. The game hints at the Darkest Day for a long time, and there's all that shit with Bede. The problem is that Rose's motivation being "I always feel like I have to solve all problems I see immediately" isn't believable given that the problem is extremely far off into the future and the carelessness and consequences of not waiting for a fucking day or two are too high.

He’s also the chairman, meaning he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fill a stadium full of people to watch the big championship battle just to sperg out at the last second for literally no reason

If he were sane, he would have leveraged his power to ban the champion from appearing in matches until he helped him with his bullshit plan

honestly, it would have taken just the slightest amount of tweaking to make the SwSh plot work and the fact they shipped it as-is is ridiculous
I feel like we should have seen the Galar Particles that power the region's energy go through a shortage throughout the plot (blackouts, no Dynamax in a gym, etc), which would have made Rose seem significantly more sympathetic

I actually like how Dynamax looks and plays, but the fact it means throwing out previously-established scales and sizes for Pokemon is kind of a double-edged sword

>why did they do it?
toys to life+roleplay market in japan
more designs that allow to reshill proven popular mons
>did they think it would reignite interest?
The game that introduced megas sold pretty well and even post-go games, including one in literally Kanto couldn't beat, only the game that introduced the other gimmick beat it.
>does anyone enjoy this?
They're not entirely bad concepts but if I were in charge I wouldnt implement them the exact way they did.

You're asking why Japanese people made Gojira styled battles in the first mainline Pokemon game on a system capable of displaying them.

Hmmmmmmmmm.... that's a tough one.

DESU Dynamax should have been megas outright or instead of making it for eveymon get of the Dynamax/Gmax split and just make it all Dynamax but only mons with the uique G-maxs can G-max sorta like how only certain mons had megas. I feel it would have made the system at least better since instead of just big mons you see their different designs. Many people were not even ware of G-max during the main campaign.

On the most basic level, I like the concept of a region of people tapping into a mysterious alien power just to increase the spectacle of Pokemon battles. Gigantimax sucks though

They were talking about Megas tho? I'm not sure what you mean since they did it with Z-Moves and they're doing the same thing with Gigantamax.
Even if we pretend megas are just a special snowflake gimmick, at least they're sustainable since they are actually balanced on a dime and add an element of strategy to the game instead of mindlessly buffing everything and benefiting no one.

Any Pokemon can use Z-moves and any Pokemon can Dynamax.

> at least they're sustainable
No they aren’t. They’re just a whole other set of bullshit that they need to waste time balancing instead of just balancing the base Pokemon.

>add an element of strategy
held items have existed since gen 2

Show me any Pokemon using Pulverizing Pancake.
>any Pokemon can Dynamax.
I wasn't talking about Dynamax, but the fact that every Dynamax involves the same general buff doesn't make it any better than the generic Z-Moves.
>No they aren’t.
Yes they are.
>They’re just a whole other set of bullshit that they need to waste time balancing instead of just balancing the base Pokemon.
>held items have existed since gen 2
So adding layers of strategy that meaningfully evolve the battle formula without resorting to pump and dump gimmicks is bad?
Have you considered maybe just playing the game? Getting good? No? Okay.

You mean Wailord being as big as a Caterpie before and after Dynamax because GF can't and won't into proper scales?
