What's your opinion on this gen's take of pokemon revisionism? Better than Megas and Dynas for sure, but that's not the highest bar

Low effort dogshit
Bring back megas and undo all the damages gen 7 has wrought on this franchise
YKW won.
Kalosperms lost.
cope.
Megas are never coming back, get used to it. Regional forms won.
i hate that there are people that think megas are good and should come back
all this type of shit is cancer
Megas are good. Kys
Megas by nature create centralized, samey metas around a handful of good megas. It was a shit mechanic from its conception.
universal > specific
>pretending to be a compgay
>pretending comphomosexualry should be pandered to
I actually think it's the best way to flesh out or "fix" other Pokemon lines. The only problem is that the forms are locked to a region, but that can be fixed
Like:
>Paldean Tauros + variants
>Iron Bundle
>Great Tusk
>Iron Thorns
>Raging Bolt
>Walking Wake
>Iron Valiant
>Slither Wing
>Iron Crown
>Koraidon
Dislike:
>Scream Tail
>Wiglett
>Wugtrio
>Toedscool
>Toedscruel
>Sandy Shocks
>Flutter Mane
>Iron Treads
>Brute Bonnet
>Poltchageist
>Sinistcha
Indifferent
>Paldean Wooper
>Clodsire
>Iron Hands
>Roaring Moon
>Iron Moth
>Iron Jugulis
>Iron Leaves
>Miraidon
How do you know Tauros and Clodsire specifically are divergent evolutions? You have no proof, they could just as easily be convergent as well.
Because they're still named Tauros and Wooper, dumbass
>Implying names matters
Anon, that would still mean they split and share a common ancestor. COnvergents are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANIMALS that converged on certain body plans, like sharks and dolphins, or bats and birds.
Love it. I like that it's not just dex filler mons, and introduces pokemon as true species that diverge and adapt to their environments.
Way too many gen 5 shilling
>Too many
>Less shilling than Johto
Nah
I fricking love it but I feel like they needed to commit to one instead of having all at once. Only 2 convergents in base game feels like a waste of a cool concept.
Gee, it’s almost as if even GF gave up on this shitty concept or something
Except they released a new one not long ago.
Yeah bro having two convergent species in the base game was because they gave up on the concept, that's why the DLC introduced another convergent species
The convergents and divergents are fine. The rest suck.
over a fourth of all new pokemon are reused shit.
I don't got a problem with them but it's unironically too much.
>Iron Valiant
only
Hmmm?? It's also half Garde and half Galla too.
Iron Valiant is "Kirlia" in the sense it merges both of its possible evolutions. Also what would the OP pic even put there then, x0.5 for Gardevoir and another x0.5 for Gallade?
I don't care about megas. Just bring back Primals and retcon Mega fug as a third Primal form.
Apart from Iron Valiant, the robots feel like light up toys.
Prehistoric variants are great across the board.
>the robots feel like light up toys
You say that like it's not a fun concept
Feels like they tried too hard to be different from previous gens and as a result we have all these different ideas that feel smattered at the wall with no rhyme or reason. Gen 9 feels like a bunch of leftover ideas compiled togethr
er
I like Toedscool and Toedscruel. The Violet paradoxes with the "what if Pokemon but a robot" is a little too stupid though. Getting pre-historic looking mons is cool though.
As far as I'm concerned there are only 151 Pokémon. Simple as
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Pokemon should not evolve in a way that feels like organic growth!
Not even the most tryhard genwunner actually believes this.
That's literally what a genwunner is, someone who only acknowledges the first generation as legit. Why on earth would I ever consider the subsequent soulless commercialized garbage as part of the pokemon universe when the pokemon universe was at it's best in gen 1?
yikes wrong pic, didn't mean to include the trashnime garbage
>REEEEEE HE HAS A PIKACHU THEREFORE IT’S SOULLESS BECAUSE OF THE ANIME
autism
nta but that pic also features jessie and james and officer jenny
Even genwunners like some new mons
A few isolated cases won't make up for the clusterfrick of garbage you would need to accept along with it.
An old school Stars Wars fan might think there's a new spaceship in the new film that looks cool but that's not enough for him to start accepting that new film as a part of "The real/true Star Wars"
Frogposters always have the worst opinions.
I vote for no gimmick because all of them are shit and we will never get one that isn't shit.
I prefer Megas and regional variants because at least they admit that they’re a slightly modified design. Modifying an existing design and calling it a new Pokemon feels like they were padding the dex and the only benefit I see of convergents is that can be used in other regions (even if I feel like they can easily just put regional variants in other regions, like they’re invasive species and are called x form because they originated from x region)
