Who cares, its a shit gimmick?

The less pokemon that have these the better

gmax is already gone. you were going to end up with nothing regardless of what they did
Jayden Brown
I can’t wait til these are dead and gone because Dynamaxing only works in Galar.
Aaron Adams
Sinnoh revisit got Hisuian formes and cross-gen evos so it's not like it didn't get anything. Hell you even got Alphas for your nod to Dynamax. Just pretend Alpha Ursaluna is Gmax Ursaring.
Angel Long
I really hate Gen 7 for starting the trend of shitty one off gimmicks that one exclusively only in those games.
Anthony Gray
this
i hope gamefreak takes a break on gimmicks
Asher Fisher
I just wanna know why mega evolutions where in a few games, even go, but dynamaxe get dropped after just one
Landon Gonzalez
Because Dynamax is the successor of Z-moves, which started shitty one off gimmicks.
Mega Evolutions were actually intended to be a main stay and the next step of the franchise.
Joshua Richardson
>You really want to keep Dynamax in games?
Carter Roberts
Because despite what autists on here believe Z-Moves and Dynamax are gimmicks completely removed from Megas
Jack Barnes
Because it was already an asspull for Megas to appear outside of Kalos. The Anistar sundial was responsible for the Mega energy in the land. Eternatus is responsible for Dynamax energy in the land.
Also has a point.
Luis Adams
Megas were intended to become a staple of the franchise, but an inability to balance them and the growing threat of Yo-Kai Watch made Gamefreak drop them. They added Z-moves to try to get back some of the kids who switches to Yo-Kai Watch, while ensuring the story actually connected to the gimmick.
I fully believe that Z-moves was the first of the one-gen gimmicks, for Gamefreak saw the need for each game to have a shiny new tactic to retain players.

Is yokai watch a new knock of of pokemon like digimon was?
Isaac Rogers
Assuming that this is a genuine question, it is no more of a Pokémon rip-off than Digimon. It is a series set in modern day Japan (or a very Japanese US in the American games and anime) where a fifth-grader finds a magic watch that lets him see yo-Kai, a grab-bag of ghosts, monsters, and other spirits that mess around with people. The kid then befriends yo-kai after fighting or appeasing them from then on.
I never played the game, but the anime was hilarious with how well-written its core characters were.
Also, the series is dead in the West, and it went from a cultural phenomenon to almost-dead in Japan.
Lucas Hernandez
Reminder that Megas being in other places is already canonically fucked, given Sycamore literally states that they've only been observed in Kalos in XY and their lore is EXPLICITLY tied to the region.
Pay no mind to the schizos who act like it wouldn't be trivial as fuck to just put Z-Moves and Dynamax wherever with minimal justifications.
Asher Sanders
I’d say Gen 6 started it; even though Megas were in Gen 7, they were more an afterthought than anything, with no new Megas and Z-Moves taking the forefront
Nolan Long
>Also, the series is dead in the West, and it went from a cultural phenomenon to almost-dead in Japan.
Level-5 is infamously bad at long-term planning.
Luis Gutierrez
Because Megas are easy to implement while Dynamax requires specific "giantic stadium or field" locations
