Dynamax Wooloo? Dynamax Wooloo. If we have to lose Z Moves and Mega Evolutions to get giant sheep Pokémon, the sacrifice was f***ing worth it.

They announced that like Let's Go, the only Pokemon in the game will be the ones in the regional Dex and you can't transfer over ones from other games. ... Well, I've completely lost all reason to even slightly give a f*** about this game. F***. Exactly the opposite of what I wanted. This has really cooled me on it.

Z-Moves and Mega Evolutions really f***ed with the metagame from what I could tell. Sometimes in order to progress, you gotta cut loose what doesn't work.

I can't say if Dynamax is going to be better or not than Z-moves. Might just be the next evolution (no pun intended) of the mechanic. And it depends on if certain Pokemon have things unique to them in Dynamax compared to others. But Mega-Evolutions messed with balance big time because only a relative handful of Pokemon could use them and it also cluttered up inventory. Seems like every single Pokemon can use Dynamax, which puts all of them on a relatively even playing field until the usual battle mechanics come into play.

I’m actually really gonna miss Megas because when they actually did the whole, “Let’s take crappy Pokemon and make them actually useful” thing, it worked wonders!
Now all those Pokemon that got positive boosts from Megas might as well be among the list of Pokemon cut from the game for not being part of the regional Dex, because what’s the point in using their old and busted base forms?

I miss pre-3DS Pokémon games so much. Honestly Black and White 2 were the last great Pokémon games we had. The series has been going downhill since X and Y.

New trailer.
Several new Pokemon revealed. New Gym leaders including Bea and Allister Gigantamax is essentially the mega evolution for this game

Did we really need ANOTHER Pokemon made out of ice cream?

Out of cake, actually. Hell, it's Gigantamax pretty much turns it into Torte from Mario RPG

Some of the new Pokemon are neat and I really like the new gym leaders.
... But man the Pokedex purge has just murdered my interest in these games. Probably going to wait for leaks before I really pay much mind to these games because I'm really just not wanting to throw money at them right now.

The new dragon looks like a dick. I’m sorry, but it does.
Having version exclusive gym leaders sucks. I know Black & White did it but at least you still got a Dragon-type gym, it was just the leader that was different.
Here we not only have different leaders, but entirely different gyms. If you get Sword you miss out on the Ghost-type gym, and if you get Shield, you miss out on the Fighting-type gym, and both Bea and Allister have great designs.

Also, on Allister it needs saying.

I know that when this game comes out, I'm going to buy it and love it, my internal pessimist just loves Mondays. That's probably how I'd feel if not for Gen 7. Like, even Gen 6 I'm very forgiving of, but I just consider Sun & Moon flat out not good. Do like a lot of the Pokedex additions but the region itself does nothing for me, the lack of a National Dex rendered the post-game even more sparse than in Gen 6, and it wasn't even fun getting there because the story consisted of everyone in the region refusing to shut the hell up for two seconds so I could actually play the game.
