@SpaceboyScreams I mean removal of Mega and Z-Moves are somewhat welcome because flawed, but removing Mega, "so thare is not additional design work", but introducing Gigantamaxing, go figure.
Dynamaxing (apart from the ridiculous size change) feels like it could have been a proper revamp of both Mega and Z-Moves, but still it's likely that they will remove some Mega-forms instead of using them as their gigantamax forms.

He says it is also because of the balance of the battle system, but most common Meta-Pokémon are also the posterchild popular ones that will probably not been taken out. But you will loose your niche favorites that have not affected anything beside your own run-through. But it is sad to see games like Dragon Quest with a similar amount of Monsters and better graphics without so much of a hick-up.
And I bet you will still not be able to catch 'em all, since there will be most surely new mythicals.

This is something that bugged me for a long time. Why is there an aversion for the D-Pad (and clicky buttons in general) in anything non gaming. Most TV remotes have mushy "buttons" or these horrible radial "D-Pads", in cars the same with the steering wheels, why always these weird and always different controls where a D-Pad is obviously the best choice?
