The names and designs of the legendaries are bad, particularly sworddoggo.

Not a big fan of them either. All the other new Pokemon revealed so far seem neat, though.

I'm not so enthusiastic about dynamaxxing. As a gimmick for Gyms it seems fine, but making it a part of standard multiplayer battles when Z-moves and Mega Evolutions already exist could do weird things to both the VGC and Smogon metagames, and the sense that it's being introduced instead of new regional variants or Mega Evolutions rankles. Hopefully they've taken these things into account, though; for example, it's possible Z-Crystals just won't exist in Gen 8, and they can give the existing Pokemon that need more love new evolutions like Sirfetch'd.

What are the odds a new Pokemon is revealed as Smash Bros DLC? Though they like to use final starter Evos as characters and it seems a bit early to reveal those.

the secret is that gigantamaxing is basically the same thing for some pokemon, apparently

Uh, that's not really how I read that. And if we have dynamaxing and gigantamaxing I really hope we don't also have mega-evolutions because that's way too many gimmicks.

So I'm not sure why swapping mega-evolutions, (that people wanted more pokemon to have) for a new gimmick that a new subset of pokemon have is gonna satisfy.

I guess the idea is that if your pokemon doesn't get a bespoke gigantamax, you at least have a dynamax no matter what? That's more balanced than mega-evolutions at least.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just turned all current Mega Evolutions into Gigantamaxes, to be perfectly honest. Granted, it'd be weird to have all Megas also turn huge by definition, but eh.

Because GameFreak needed to give Charizard another new form.

Charizard is the John Cena of Pokemon now and we're inching into turning him into the Roman Reigns of Pokemon....

Another reason Dynamaxing is lamer than megas is that it will only work for specific battles rather than something you can do anywhere.

It's okay to eat Slowpoke tails now because they don't feel it, it grows back, and they don't even notice the tail is gone because they're so chill, so I definitely think Wooloo Pinball will be ethically correct.
