>>55101818I honestly hope it's more than that, because "gimmickmons running amok" is a plot concept Kusaka used way back in gen 6, with Xerneas and Yveltal flattening Vaniville Town, forcing the friend group to becoming nomads, hunted by Team Flare.
And in gen 7, with Lusamine unleashing the Ultra Beasts to rampage all across Alola.
And in gen 8, where Rose unleashes Eternatus to cause the Darkest Day, which causes random Pokemon all over Galar to Dynamax and rampage.
It just feels like a somewhat dated story format by now.
