Honestly, I really should be numb to SwSh getting criticism by now.

Just stinks that today's conversation couldn't be, "Which is your favorite Gigantamax form?" instead of, "Gross, Gen 1!!".

I’m sorry for contributing to that. Even if I could care less if it’s a Gen 1 Pokémon or not, I still contributed to the negativity. It was like everything I was using to keep myself together just fell apart..... more like it burned up I got so mad. I know I keep apologizing and promising to be better and not living up to it. But it’s really hard. Know I’m at least trying, even if I can’t manage it sometimes.

 

[Rangez]

I really wanna know how much of it is GameFreak and how much is The Pokémon Company.

Prooobably more of the latter, for me anyway. They are in charge of marketing & merchandising after all.

I agree.

But I also feel like if they showed some new normal Pokémon, maybe a new character, and then the new gigantamaxes people would be pretty hype. But because it was just those Kanto forms the anti-genwunners got to go nuts today.

I found a funny image on reddit that depicts the final evolutions of the starters...

but they all become Charizard.

Yeah, same here. I wish we could have a more positive discussion regarding the games.

My favorite Gigantamax form is Pikachu, by the way. I know the question what rhetorical, but I figured I might as well just answer.

Anyone remember my post with the Death Battle i made? (Dedede V.S Typhon, the biggest, baddest and most powerful titan.)
Here's my idea for the fight itself: (Make sure to check out my post #97,546.)

Spoiler: The fight itself:

I would start off with Dedede turning gigantic and he and both Typhon clash with each other kaiju style causing destruction and destroying the landscapes, under the sea, major cities including New York and others. The opponents move up into the skies getting bigger and bigger forcing them out of Earth and into space clashing with each other through our Solar System using the eight planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids and our Sun as weapons, same with random exoplanets, rouge planets and other bigger suns the more larger they get, causing chaos across the Milky Way itself. for the climax finale of said battle, the two reach the center of our galaxy and they fight above and inside the Galactic Center, an apparent dormant supermassive black hole.
(Through the entire fight in space, remember that Dedede and Typhon use entire planets, moons, suns, asteroids, exoplanets, comets and other celestial objects as weapons.)

Spoiler: DDD VS TYPHON

Will be doing said fight VERY. VERY. SOON. (It's taking a while.)

 

[Idon]

I like how gigantichu has its tail go into the clouds as if it's plugged into them and gets its power from them.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Joe, go get some sleep.

insted of defending the constant forced Gen 1 stuff in games, he could of just said "don't forget that Gen 1 Pokémon are insanely marketable. " and left it at that

 

[Diem]

Well. The rain killed my headphones

What kind of headphones were they?

 

[Arcanir]

Well, regardless of being gen 1 or not, all the pokemon in this trailer are pretty popular. It's not like they revealed gigantamax tangela or something. My main point is that we've already seen gigantamaxing goes beyond gen 1 but people are freaking out as if they just confirmed every giant form will be gen 1

We haven't seen all the forms yet, and considering obstagoon exists I think it's pretty likely it won't just be kanto

my other main point is that seeing people get disproportionately angry over every thing that gets revealed is kind of funny lol

I think my biggest concern with Gigantamax is that they'll pull a Z-Move on us and only the oldest and newest generations get the special variation of the gimmick. I have no problem with Gen 1 getting some as I expect it due to nostalgia, popularity, and a number of them falling behind competitively that could use the boost, but there are just as many good options awaiting in the other games in-between that would be great to see.

Hell, we even have Not!Godzilla and Not!King Ghidorah waiting right there in the game right now, let us live out our kaiju battles already!

[Wario Bros.]

I find people complaining about too much generation 1 hilarious.

I remember VERY well back from late generation 5 to early generation 6 there were tons of obnoxious people on the internet who would hate on anything that ISN'T generation 1 (they were called Genwunners).

lol

Yeah, and we didn't them then either because of how obnoxious they were.

Now, both sides just suck. Who won here?

I wish I knew how to explain this phenomenon. You're right that from like 2008-2013, Genwunners were everywhere. But then gradually in the years past that, they've gradually disappeared while people instead complain about the opposite.

It's similar to how, from like 2012-2016 or so, it seemed like everyone was complaining about new Smash games and lauding Melee as the one true Smash game. Brawl and Smash 4 were seen as trash, and the newer games had no merit whatsoever in comparison. But eventually, Smash 4 was just accepted and just as valid, and now Ultimate is a complete phenomenon.

These people all still exist, but they're just a lot less common to run into now. Maybe most of them have moved on to other things, since there's only so much mileage you can get out of talking about old games on the internet while everyone else is talking about the new stuff.

I get that, it's valid after SM

But we've seen 8 giant forms so far. XY introduced something around 28 megas. Already this gen has shown that it's acknowledging other gens a bit more with zig zag bufoon. This one trailer may have been focused around gen 1 stuff but overall I think its gonna be fine.

This.

I know people in general are pessimistic, and they’re not wrong to be I feel. But I think it’s silly when people think we’re getting 30 Pokémon, 10 Galar forms and 13 gigantamax forms (the remainder of which are all Kanto)

 

[Zinith]

They'll ignore Kecleon of course...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Is it really that bad to ask GF to focus in another gen. Is it really that bad. Is it that bad to ask them to give other gen some attention and not just gen 1 pokemon in almost every game

 

[Mamboo07]

I agree, Gyarados would be awesome with a Gigantamax form seen here:

My typing for this would be Dragon/Flying.
Looks like Appa from Avater.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You know what pokemon needs love? Mienfoo and Mienshao.

You know who hasnt been getting love?

At least Unova has more Pokemon in SwSh than any other Gen so far. I believe it's almost at 60.

If we're gonna talk about most wanted Gigantamax forms, then how about I throw one on the table? How about a Gigantamax form that becomes a ****ing army?

Here's a fan evolution of him. (or either a Mega Evolution.)

Oh, that's not so bad then, unless they were like $50 Skullcandy earbuds like the ones I had that my dad vacuumed 8 years ago.

So apparently, the extra character stories in DQ11S is a Switch exclusive, and tbh, I couldn't tell. They were woven in so well that I thought they were part of the orignal version, but I guess not.

Also, ERIK NO!
