SwSh Dynamax: Thoughts, Feelings, or Concerns

[Almonds]

If they make Gigantamax forms that actually tie into something (e.g., real life references, in-game story) like this, then I may change my opinion on them:

But right now, all we know is "lol make them big"

That Volcarona Gigantamax fanart looks amazing

Who would have thought we needed new forms for Charizard, Gengar, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Lucario... And another two more for Mew-Two?

While I am not completely dismissive of them getting new Giga forms, I would love if some of the other Pokémons not usually receiving as much spotlight as the aforementioned ones also get their spot under the limelight. I mean, come on. There's gotta be fans of like, Roserade, Krookodile, and more Pokémon out there too!

I really hope Flygon gets a G-Max since it got jipped out of a Mega due to artist’s block

Justice for our fan favourite dragon. Was pretty sad when it happened, but thank you for reviving my hope in Flygon getting something this generation!

I think rather two forms means Dynamax form and a Gigantamax form...

I think Megas should remain like they were.

This G-max Charizard even if it happens then we will see.

Dynamax is just a size increase though, not an appearance change (so not a form change)

Size means mass too. Mass and energy.

 

[TechSkylander1518]

Mass doesn't mean form change.

 

[BigBadButterfree]

Size means mass too. Mass and energy.

If anything mass would equate to a weight change, but clearly they don't even wanna begun to think about/calculate that because every g-max form they've shown has its weight listed as "???" on the site.

....So I guess we can expect no substantial increase for Low Kick or Grassknot.

Once again Dynamax disappoints me.

I think I understand the design aspect of Gigantamaxing now. Unlike Megas which involves pokemon evolving another time, gigantamaxing is essentially enlarging or enhancing the traits of a pokemon. For example Dreadnaw, it gets bigger hind legs allowing it to stand bipedally, it gains a longer neck which it retracts into it's shell, which also grew larger.

And Alcremie becomes more fattening with higher calories.

 

[Knightwolf09]

Well more it's creamie body extends to form it's tier cake, but not too far off either

Weight is very important. New weight moves then would be interesting.

Gigantimax Alcremie is the result of Gordon Ramsay criticizing its Normal Form for just being a "bloody pile of whipped cream."

I thought it was the result of Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood being disappointed with its presentation.

I hope they just assign the highest BP to it when used on a D/G-Max Pokémon rather than just leaving it the same as it was for the base form. Then again...this is GameFreak we’re talking about...

Was that really the reason?

And yet we got 2 awful looking Mewtwo, Aerodactyl, Tyranitar, Salamence...

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise as the 3 revealed so far are meh at worse and not as abominable as Blastoise and Lati@s.

I thought Gigantimax Alcremie was the pastry that Theresa May has with her morning tea.

I kinda hope that the Pokemon who get gigantimax forms are not ones who have already been given alternate forms / mega evolution forms.
