Also it's interesting that gym leaders are different based on the version that you have.

At least that's what I think they were trying to get across, with Bea in Pokemon Sword and Allister in Pokemon Shield

It is, though Black/White also had version exclusive Gym Leaders (Drayden in Black; Iris in White), though they both used the same type, unlike here where the types are completely different.

I wonder if people will be just as pissed in the next 3 or 4 years when Gigantomax forms are removed just like Z-moves and Mega Evolutions and Alola Forms

For Gigantmax you need specific types of pokemon of that species to use that form, apparently the type of them you get in max raid battles, the mode where you compete with 3 other people to get a chance to catch it after defeat. So if you plan on playing this game without online you're screwed out of using Gigantamax for yourself...unless there's a way to cheat those pokemon in.

Pretty sure they already announced there's a way to do the raid battles solo and have the game spawn NPC trainers to be the other 3.

There's speculation that Sword/Shield started development as 3DS titles, but shifted to the Switch partway through development. The games started development in 2014, and the president of The Pokemon Company has said that he thought the Switch would be a failure back in 2016. Once that proved to not be the case, TPC may have made Game Freak move the games to the Switch.

It could also be because Game Freak is infamously inept it handling new hardware.

From the Pokemon Facebook:

Trainers, our Dynamax research has uncovered a special type of Dynamaxing. Get ready for Gigantamaxing!

Gigantamax Pokmon dont just become biggerthey also change appearance! Plus, they can use G-Max Movesmoves that even normal Dynamax Pokmon can't use!

You can catch Gigantamax Pokmon by participating in Max Raid Battles, but finding one won't be easy!


So they cut out Mega Evolution and Z-Moves in their entirety and replaced them with this.

Honestly that's shitty.

Honestly, if I were in charge, I wouldn't have included the Dynamax mechanic at all, nor would I include Z-Moves or Megas, at least not yet. I'd just go back to the basics for battling to get a better feel of the hardware, and then build from there in the following games.

The problem is that they seem like they need to have a new gimmick every gen. But maybe that's TPC's doing for marketing purposes.

Eh... this gimmick isn't really doing anything for me but they've already hooked me on the region and world map. I do kinda like how cheesy the terminology is getting, like they've got absolutely no shame.

Yamper is its official name

I'd give that leaker a "close enough"

They can still salvage mega evolution a bit by having the gigatemax versions just be the mega versions of that.

Yeah at this point the leak is a bit too correct (aside from getting Yamper as Pamper, but that doesn't seem like a big deal lol). It's amazing the guy knew that much though
