The Pokémon itself is based on capsule monsters, and there are many other sources of inspiration as well.
The feeling of Inazuma Eleven is somehow amazing beyond that…

Alola might be unusual.

It’s not a countermeasure against Yokai Watch.

To be honest, I think I’m half-stepping into a dark history.

I was taken aback by how openly they plagiarized like this…
I wonder if they felt that Yokai (Level 5) was such a threat.

During the XY era, there was a huge boom in yokai, so that’s what people tend to talk about.
During the BW era, they were already taking the cover, pages, and supplements of Inazuma Eleven in CoroCoro, so it’s not strange to reference that.

As an RPG, the unskippable scenes have the worst tempo, and even when viewed as a competitive game, it lacks proper balance adjustment, resulting in an indescribable quality.

Mega Evolution had a simple effect for the second activation, didn’t it?

Well, it’s a copy, isn’t it?

The one that made me feel the most like “the direction is too much” was Lycanroc Z, but I wonder where the actual longest one is.

The naming feels a bit out of place overall.

To be honest, it was a copy, it was sliding, and on top of that, the balance was terrible.
I’m glad that there is enough sanity to just pretend this didn’t happen.

It’s interesting how you can understand the nerfed history of Poka Poka Friend Time through typos in the strategy guide.

Even if we completely disregard the Champions, then Kagayaki-sama will be troubled…

The first impression I had was that posing is lame…

I simply thought it was uncool and didn’t like it.
I think it was very much like Alola.

The Z auxiliary techniques had a lot of outrageous extra effects, and they were really interesting.

The posing is lame.
Systematically, I dislike Dynamax more.

Everyone used Zhaneru, right?

In arcade games, the Z move is normally carried over.

Whether it’s a yokai or Inazuma Eleven, it really feels impressive how Level-5, which has been at the height of its game lately, is mimicking that flavor, Z moves.

The protagonist’s emotionless expression is scary.

It’s understandable that adults play with things meant for children, but the level of empathy-induced shame is so intense that I find it difficult to handle.
If I come back in the Champions, I’ll be very sad.

Aside from the visuals being super lame, I actually liked the system quite a bit.

I really hated Water Z Rapid Flow Gekkouga.

I like that hard plants and the strongest moves limited to the “three houses” have found a use.

First, it’s tough to want to completely skip the direction.

An additional element whose appearance of Pokémon does not change.

Since the trend was completely about Inazuma Eleven Yokai, I guess there was no choice but to go along with it.
I wonder if the children back then were happy about this.

Since Mega, there have been new systems coming in, and the balance has collapsed, so this isn’t particularly limited to just this in terms of being uncool.

I liked Z texture.

I liked the appearance of Mega Evolution and Dynamax, even if the systems themselves were a bit much.
Z moves and Terastal are kind of, well… yeah…

It’s just plain lame, regardless of whether it’s for kids or not.

I had fun imitating poses and I like it.

I disliked that Mega Evolution was only allowed for certain Pokémon, so I wanted it to be permanently inactive.

It’s better if the expression changes, but the protagonist stubbornly remains expressionless in Alola.

It feels like there was a bit of a strange turn around the sixth or seventh generation, and then a course correction in the eighth generation.

The name stands out just from the arrangement of Mega, Giga, and Terra.

I hate the terrace because it’s just too complicated to understand.

I like local areas, Pokémon, and characters in SM.

Z’s Gyarados was my partner.

The Z-moves are like this, but since the Aether Foundation and Lusamine are involved, it feels quite disjointed.

While there are some special ones, the fact that Dynamax and Terastallization can be used by all Pokémon is great.
It would be troublesome if it were limited to just a specific one.

If it’s just lame, that’s one thing, but once I’ve seen it, let me skip it.

The important thing is whether kids like it.
I don’t know how it was, but…

I love Z-moves for transformation techniques.

There were people saying that Mega Evolutions are only given to strong or popular Pokémon! I wonder what they thought about Gyarados before it mega evolved.

The enthusiasm for the techniques you use ultimately gets greatly influenced by the progression of the battle, so landing a targeted move like Toxic on a desired switch is more straightforward and packed with benefits.

The name of the technique is so cliché…
It’s nice, isn’t it?

There’s a difference between something aimed at children and something that’s just deceiving them.

What is UB compared to Z move?

I fell in love with the design of Janiper, but I was very shocked to learn that it’s weak no matter how you use it in terms of its abilities.

There was a gap of about 6 to 7 generations, but how was the reaction to Z-moves from the kids?

I liked it because it felt like a literally one-time ultimate move.

The first generation where Gab has secured a single physical ground type attack.

It feels like a font influenced by Inazuma Eleven’s special techniques.
The special moves in Inazuma Eleven were really cool, so it was completely different.

The idea that Mega Evolution causes Pokémon pain started with SM, right? Or was it from something else?

There are often people with strange misconceptions, but Lusamine had direct contact with Nihilego only after going to Ultra Space in the latter half.
I didn’t become a toxic parent at all because of being poisoned or going crazy.

I like Z-moves for transformations.
I also like the accuracy anxiety and recoil moves Z.

The Terastal form honestly feels a bit lame…

The common enhancement of that work is that Terastal is finally a proper enhancement.
It feels like Dynamax is just barely possible without Jet.

I think the execution of the techniques is good, but the fact that the technique names are only in hiragana or katakana and are unnecessarily long is really lame.

I liked the Ghost Z Poison Feather Decidueye that can differentiate between Curse Z and Kage Nuri Z.

It’s strange to think that hitting a Z move with a disguise results in 0 damage.

The Z moves are particularly bad, but the Pokémon series as a whole lacks sufficient options for skipping cutscenes.

I was thinking of taking Juniper from C40 to S.
Now, even 110 is not enough for S, and rather, I think it might be better to allocate it to HBD.

As for design and presentation, I like Mega the most.

I like the Daima performance too.

Since Champions can be played on smartphones, the gameplay won’t have lengthy presentations and the game speed will likely improve…

Tera storage suits cute Pokémon, you know…

I like the trainer’s motion when using Terastal; it’s intricate.

Although there are many haters because it was too strong, it is the hero who protected Galar from the rampaging giant beasts of Zashizama.
I liked the concept of having a special move for Dynamax even though I can’t Dynamax.

I feel like there was a strange vibe during the 3DS era, but at the same time, it’s a bit sad that handsome titles stopped coming out altogether.
I kind of liked him/her.

Isn’t it that you’re sharpening it because if you make it cool/cute and calm, it gets buried?

Since there have been jewels from before, I feel that it’s not really that far-fetched as an idea.

The name of the technique is really lame, and the pose is also awkward.

It’s not a big deal that the motion for moves like Double Kick and early-game techniques are unimpressive, but it’s terrible how the exclusive moves that looked cool in Sword and Shield have all become lame in SV.

I like Aoki’s Terastal.

Champions are the dolphins from BDSP, right?

It had elements that felt more like a trick for children than for children themselves.

Fixing the allocation value at 100 is a bit tricky.
It would have been best if all the Pokémon could have Mega Evolutions prepared, but well, that’s impossible!

I like the design of Mega.

I think there are types that suit cute Pokémon with Terastal.
I also like the Gym Leaders and Elite Four when they Terastalize.

The gym leader’s Terastal only makes weaknesses consistent, huh?
I can only manage with Nanjamo and Korusa.

Speaking of which, this isn’t going to be implemented in GO.

I think the mood would change again if we had commentary like in Poké Stadium or Battle Revolution, so I’m looking forward to Champions.

It’s like Dynamax for Gigantamax.
It might have been nice if there was a Mega Evolution that increased stats even though the appearance doesn’t change.

It doesn’t feel like a trump card, does it, Terastal?

It’s more about jewels than Z moves!
Seriously, the fifth generation jewels are crazy, right?

Strategy likes terraces, but…
I think there will be divided opinions on things like using a spirit terrace to see through cat tricks.

I dislike the Terastal regional feature the most, but it might be partly because collecting Terastallized pieces feels like a苦行 (a painful struggle).
Even though it has been considerably relaxed now, it’s still a hassle.

Mimikyu, which had its incredibly strong exclusive Z-move taken away and its ability nerfed, but is still continuing to thrive.
The merchandise is constantly being released and selling well, so I think that maybe, for Game Freak, Mimikyu is the biggest harvest of the 7th generation.

After the firepower inflation with Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, I felt a deflation with Dynamax and it was tough.

Terastal is mainstream for this guy’s teratype ○○○.
In this situation, it’s clearly a one-choice option for ○○○ → Why is it ○○○?
It’s troublesome that this is quite common.

If it’s cool, I can mostly forgive it.

The simplicity of the terrace is that just changing the type alters the reading.

Just clicking on Gosterla to see through the cat is really pointless.
Take on a risk like that of a demon.

I find that using a big technique just once in battle is personally unexciting.

Mega Evolution

Well, even if the jewel revives, it’s only 1.3 times right now, so not that much…

What’s going on with Yokai Watch now?

It was the same with the signature Dynamax, but I wondered if I could remember all the effects of the signature Z-moves.

I like that Mega Evolution allows characters that don’t see much play, like Mawile and Altaria, to shine in friendly battles.
I don’t want to see it anymore in the ratings.

If we’re talking about the story, more than half is unlocked after clearing it.
I was thinking that XY, who told me in advance about the mega thing, was just messing around.

It’s confirmed that there will be Champions Mega and Terastal.
What will happen to Z-moves and Dynamax?

Dynamax
Gigantamax

Well, it’s completely different, but Terastal is like doing a Mega Charizard test with all Pokémon.
Moreover, it’s not just a two-choice situation.

From this time on, the battles became too one-dimensional (too focused on firepower), so I stopped playing online.

I think it might be okay to remove such elements just once.
I’ll revert it back to something like BW.

In the end, it would be somewhat better if they could just tighten it up, but there are a lot of people who look kind of limp.

A 600-base stat Pokémon with a four-time weakness was already strong even with that weakness.
Isn’t it already bad if it can change types? said Dragonite.

I want to do a simple exchange battle, but it seems unlikely that the main series will return to that direction…
There are theories that the traditional Pokémon battles might be left to the champions while the main series takes on the Arceus format.

Mega → (Z) → Giga → Tera, and if it continues like this, the next generation will become Peta○○○.

I wish that Terastal and Dynamax would at least be displayed simultaneously in a split screen when used against an opponent.

Who used Kyodai?

I heard that the pose for Z moves was thought up by Tomo Tajiri.
It seems like they naturally leaned over the table and struck a pose.

Mega Charizard was strong even with the assessment, but how was Gigantamax Charizard?

Gigantamax is basically more of a playful element where normal Dynamax moves are stronger…
Isn’t Laplace just strange?

What is a giga? I was wondering, but maybe it’s something like “gigant” overseas?

I love the design of Mega Evolutions Pokémon.
I don’t like that only some Pokémon are given enhancement methods and how they are described in the Pokédex.

The giant starters of the Lizabanasekitan are really strong!

The Dynamax move that I disliked because it boosted poison.
Isn’t there more physical poison than special poison?

Are XY and Sun and Moon treated as a period of confusion?

The pose and the animation were well-received by the kids, so that’s good.
But I at least wanted a gym badge.

Right now, in the anime original, there’s an item that villains distribute which causes Pokémon to become aggressive after taking damage, but in return, their moves are powered up multiple times.
I wonder if they will do something like that in a game.

Kyodai Goku-en was quite strong because it deals 1/6 damage to all enemies.

Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon Go…

I think the lame poses of Z moves in anime are actually good.
The game lacks momentum and has few changes in expression…

The kyodai (gigantic) of steroids and pseudo-steroids was strong, wasn’t it?

If Dark Rush could be used in the main story, it might be fairly strong.
Power 90, accuracy 100, with no type effectiveness and 1/16 recoil damage.

Well, they are the type that will self-destruct or cause a huge explosion of their own will, even in the wild.

Mega Evolution is that thing where it goes on a rampage in the anime and returns to its original form with the main character’s voice, right?

The awkwardness of the pose that seems to mock children and the awkwardness of the name.

Why does the protagonist only change expression in the beginning and remain expressionless afterwards?
While others show normal emotions, you’re just a killing machine.

I wonder if Nezu has a Gigantamax Stoutland in the backstory…

The slip damage types like Goku-En and Bentatsu are always strong no matter when.

I don’t like it because the pose is lame.
But I like the system itself, as it feels like an advanced version of Jewel.

Mega Evolution is a special evolution that certain Pokémon can temporarily undergo, facilitated by Mega Stones that are formed from unique meteorites that have arrived from space.
The Z Ring and Z Crystal made from fragments of Necrozma’s body that fell from a parallel universe enhance Pokémon’s moves.
The Dynamax Band, which uses the wishing star that is a part of the body of Eternatus, reacts with Dynamax energy to transform Pokémon into a gigantic form.
The universe is crazy in this world.

The pose aside, the name of the technique is really lame, but did it really appeal to kids…?

It felt like there was a sense of crisis during development for the yokai Inazuma Eleven, but by the time it was released, it had cooled down, right?

Deoxys is also a Pokémon with terrifying power, resulting from the altered DNA of a space virus.
Rechizaku is also a being that split from a giant dragon that came from outer space.

Did no one find it strange that the giant Bashin was charging in while standing still with his Z response?

So far, the Champions only include Mega and Terrace that have been announced, but I think Z and Dynamax will be implemented eventually.

It seems like Mega Z Dynamax will be allowed in Champions, but it doesn’t look like Z moves will be used at all.

I’ve never played Yokai Watch, but I have a prejudice that it seems like they developed it with a strong awareness of Yokai Watch.

I like it when it can be as extravagant as the light of destruction that scorches the heavens.

There are many ordinary Pokémon that are said to have come from space, you know…

For Ultra Necrozma, the Z Crystal is the key to transformation.
