Over the last few generations, the Pokemon games have added a number of gimmicks to spice up the gameplay. Pokemon X and Y introduced Mega Evolutions, Pokemon Sun and Moon brought in Z-Moves and Regional Variants, while Pokemon Sword and Shield introduced the Dynamax phenomenon. Thanks to a tweet from @trainer_tarun, fans have been debating which of these should be eliminated, and the newest addition is trending since it's the one that many Pokemon fans seem to agree on. Not everyone dislikes the Dynamax and Gigantamax feature, but it's interesting to see it trending, as a result. Perhaps in time fans will feel differently about it!

Some people really dislike Dynamax!

Dynamax is such an Unimaginative gimmick. Get rid of it forever

Others just prefer Dynamax less than the other options.

I've slowly grown to appreciate Z-moves and Dynamax on their own, but compared to Megas and Regional variants...Nah man, in the trash they go.

I'll always go for Megas. https://t.co/e6FxLjMZUQ

To be fair, "Kaiju Mega Evolution" kind of sounds awesome.

Dynamax no questions asked

Also Gigantamax is literally just Kaiju mega evolution... https://t.co/sCL02bFwbK

A lot of the hate seems to be related to "Dexit."

Dynamax, it’s trash just like Sword n Sheild. https://t.co/VBFlr9QdPw

Plenty of fans like Dynamax, though!

what the honk are people choosing dynamax for

i thought it was agreed it was a pretty cool mechanic and i thought it was only really op in singles which isn't even what competitive is built around anyway

it's leagues more interesting than z-moves mang scrap them !!

Z-Moves seem to be at the bottom of the list for many fans.

Regional forms are brilliant. Megas are unbalanced displays of favoritism but still really cool. Dynamax creates an interesting doubles meta even if it's busted in singles.

Z-moves were a cool idea, but kinda janky, ESPECIALLY status moves. I say Z-moves get the axe.

The next addition might change some tunes.

Not surprised that the hate for Dmax got it trending rn lol. Ya’ll hated Mega’s when they dropped too and got it trending as well. “Omg why can Blaziken evolve again this is so dumb GF is stealing and getting old” like PLSS LOL. Y’all will love dynamax when next gen rolls around
