regional forms outlived
>megas
>z-moves
>already dynamax

and with three gens they already surpassed cross evos and pokemon contests it's literally the longest gimmick GF has been maintaining

It's not a gimmick,it's the new way they found to put a fresh spin on already existing Pokemon.

Because it's just megas but better. A way to change up a previous design but without adding retarded as fuck power creep. Also the designs are better 95% of the time.

honestly was iffy about them bc galar forms look like shit but the new ones gave me some hope again with their designs and im happy they added them. it makes the pokemon world feel a lot more alive and rework old pokemon without completely getting rid of the original or making a new mon with the same idea

They are pretty fair and give a new design to something that already exists, without changing a lot.
They should stay because they at least make sense without any kind of additional retardation.

Because unlike Megas and the rest they aren’t a gimmick. It’s a feature that’ll be around until an reboot (soft or hard) and even then they’d probably come back the gen after a soft one.

It’s a way to make new pokemon for people who only get excited about new pokemon without cranking out too many abominations that they need to keep track of in the future.

And Game Freak have been adding new, unique ones for years on end too. This is a way for them to continue to add "new" pokémon, wthout actually having to create 100+ new pokémon every Gen. Re-tooling the lesser-loved shitmons, especially from earlier Gens is a great way of doing that, with the added bonus of giving it a sales push alongside, to make it start pulling weight again.

You save on making a new pokemon and in case it's not liked or not worth keeping around, people can't complain much because the original already exists.

Retaining regional forms is the same as retaining the original form or creating a new Pokémon, and unlike all of that other stuff, they don't need to balance the gameplay around it. It's lasted this long because it's actually sustainable. Or at least it could be if they tied breeding and evolving them to the parent's form rather than to the region they happen to be in so that some evolutions aren't locked to a certain game.

Megas suck that's why.

Regional forms involve some creativity and lore regarding the divergent evolution opposed to digimon-style evolution.

If they can just retcon all these gimmicks (megas, z-moves, dynamax) and just give good designs and lore, that'd be great.

Z-moves was easily the worst ones. This is just Megas 2.0. Though I prefer megas, regional forms change up your bro too much. Imagine the poor soul whose fav mone was regular Ninetales

I'm gonna just say it.
I do not support the hate towards bouffolant, it is an amazing pokemon with an amazing fro, and I know all that are hating on him simply feel threatened by it's style, it is understandable that it's glory may scare you, but lashing out at bouffolant is uncalled for, instead you should look up to bouffolant and also strive for perfection.
