Apologize

Nope

Fuck no, they were the worst mechanic by a mile
Parasitic design that ruined infinite use tms
Boring raid system tacked on for no good reason
One of the worst single andndoubles experiences ever conceived too

Fuck this mechanic and the glastrier they rode it on.

>>58044295 (OP)
Why? Some of the designs were solid, but others were ass. Mechanic itself is also the worst generational gimmick thus far.

>>58044295 (OP)
I really like a lot of these designs

>>58044295 (OP)
No, there wasn't enough of them the make the gimmick interesting.
The Flapple/Appletun G-Max is clearly a cut evo concept reused and just lazy giving them the same one cause it implies they're the same pokemon.

But it's fine when mega evolution does it

>>58044295 (OP)
Nah. People here jack off the designs but they're generally dull. The apple dragons having the same design is peak fucking laziness especially after the Urshifu twins got their own forms. Ridiculous.

>>58044295 (OP)
The fact that they only lasted 3 turns almost makes me believe that they never actually existed

>>58044295 (OP)
Tera > Mega > X-Max > Z-Moves

>>58044742
truth nuke

>>58044295 (OP)
>Megaevolution but instead of actually different stats and typing (basically different pokemon) it's le big, but without dynamic movement to actually make cool kaiju battles and they give you THREE Z-moves that mix the offensive effect of Z-move attacks and the passive of Z-move status effects, all while being able to hold an item and keeping the secondary effects set during the three turns, with the only limitation of extra HP being temporary and not being able to switch back
Most awful shit ever

>>58045012
No one gives a fuck about competitive

>>58044295 (OP)
This is just flanderization: the mechanic

>>58044295 (OP)
I hate my favorites got GMax and now have no chance of ever getting Megas

>>58045027
if your favorite got a mega instead it would just grow overdesigned spikes

>>58044295 (OP)
I hate that my bro got a GMax and now has no chance of ever getting a Mega because he is no shill like the starters or Gengar

>>58044295 (OP)
>limited time
>form changes look like shit
>yet another instance of charizard pandering (venusaur and blastoise didn't get gmax's until the dlc)
>cucked various pokemon out of proper evolutions, leaving them stuck as second stage shitmons
>flapple and appletun have the exact same gmax

If anything, we weren't harsh enough.

>>cucked various pokemon out of proper evolutions, leaving them stuck as second stage shitmons
But enough about absol banette lopunny sableye mawile and audino

>>58045033
>cucked various pokemon out of proper evolutions, leaving them stuck as second stage shitmons
anon, the concept was already introduced with three NFE Pokémon getting forms.
And then Duraludon received a “proper evolution” just one game later

>nuGameFreak designed these dogshit designs
>people were expecting them to go back to peak designs for megas in legends z-a
>instead we get james Turner slop for the 7th release in a row(sun, ultra sun, sword, sword dlc, legends arceus, scarlet, scarlet dlc)

>>58045057
>still running with the james turner boogeyman in the big 2025
the only pokemon he designed in gen 9 is paldean tauros and dondozo and the sushi fish

>>58045057
>>people were expecting them to go back to peak designs for megas in legends z-a
Ah yes "Peak design" like lazily slapping ugly spikes on older pokemon and calling it a day
Literally take off your nostalgia goggles lmao

>>58045082
How can I be nostalgic if I'm 47 and didn't play my version until last year because I fell for unovabort gaslighting?

>>58045082
>Rock-type Pokémon got rocks
Whoa

>>58045090
>it's supposed to be lazy

>>58045092
Not seeing the laziness. If anything it's cool how detailed these wings are.

>>58045096
>Not seeing the laziness.
Slapping more rocks on a rock is peak creativity bankrupt

>>58045097
>Slapping more rocks on a rock
Aerodactyl doesn't have any rock features in its original design

>>58045102
>Aerodactyl doesn't have any rock features in its original design if you ignore the rock grey body

>>58045104
>It's grey so it's a rock
Headcanon. None of the Pokedex entries ever mention any relationship between Aerodactyl and stones. In-fact, Mega Aerodactyl specifies that parts of its body became stone supporting the idea that there are no rock features on its body.

>>58045111
>>It's grey so it's a rock
It's a rock type therefore it's already a rock

>>58045082
You can tell the person who made this was just scribbling all over the original aerodactyl instead of thinking about something original LMAO

>>58045033
>cucked various pokemon out of proper evolutions, leaving them stuck as second stage shitmons
Meanwhile:
>Mawile
>Medicham
>Manectric (Who already had a beta evolution design btw)
>Banette
>Sableye
>Sharpedo
>Camerupt
>Altaria
>Audino
Have been stuck as shitmons for over a decade despite GF handing out new stages left and right for thelast 2 gens

>>58045158
The funny thing is how most of these were shit even after getting a mega form lmao

>>58045016
I don't play competitive. It's still retarded even in single player

>>58045030
>>58045036
>macrofalcofag is mad nobody will ever like Giga instead of Mega

>>58044295 (OP)
No, still the shitiest gimick

>>58044295 (OP)
For what? I always (correctly) liked them.

>>58045016
This entire mechanic was designed for competitive

>>58046259
>Have to make up scenarios in his head instead of coming up with actual arguments

>>58045158
I don't care about the other ones but Mawile has been my favorite Pokemon for like 15 years and I think anyone who says mega Mawile should be an evolution should kill themselves. The appeal of the Mega is having your bro gain a super form for battle and only battle, Mega Mawile is designed to be exactly that, it doesn't actually further the concept the way Archuladon and Hydrapple do, it's Mawile but more Mawile per Mawile and it's great.
And plus Mega Mawile is cool as fuck because it's the strongest, if it was just a regular Pokemon it would 1000% be nerfed to shit. You people have no idea what you're talking about. The only problem with Mega Evolution for shitmons is that they took Megas out.

>>58047084
Mawile deserved a real evolution
you don't really love her
