I always found it weird the gen 6 introduced mega evolution, but didn't give the gen six starters mega forms. (Ash greninja dosent count) So why not expand the roster and give the remaining starters, up to gen 7, new megas

[@zomorion9183]

Given Ash-Greninja's popularity, removing it in favor of a Mega would irk a lot of fans. For Gen 6 (since there aren't exclusive implementations of the gimmick for certain Pokemon, for e.g. certain Pokemon getting exclusive Z-moves or GMAX forms), I'd honestly give all 3 of them of Battle Bond. Have the Gen 6 legends game focus on the story of Zygarde, AZ AND Bond phenomenon, and you'll have an excuse for Battle Bond not only existing but also having the mon with Battle Bond reflect your character (like it should, according to the anime, at least, since Battle Bond is pretty much only explained in the anime). Not to the point where it's just your character as a Pokemon, just the Pokemon feeling more connected to your character.

[@zomorion9183]

@Roger Loe Why does Greninja HAVE to be special? Greninja gets Battle Bond, but the other 2 get Megas, that just seems like Charizard all over again. (Granted, for Battle Bond to work for all 3, it would need to be properly explained)

[@zomorion9183]

@Roger Loe Yeah, so giving both of them 1 OP ability sounds like a better option, doesn't it? Plus, both of them can also hold an item unlike a Mega, and Gen 6 starters get that exclusive implementation of the gimmick like Gen 7 had with exclusive Z-moves and Gen 8 with GMAX. Give them all Battle Bond. Hell, give em a Mega too, why not?! Sounds stupid, but you have to consider that these are the starters of the least popular region (not generation, that's debatable. Don't know which side I'm on since I haven't played ORAS). But it might be too much. In that case, just Battle Bond if possible. I mean, Mega Rayquaza is the only Mega that doesn't require a Mega stone. Wouldn't it be logical to at least give that privilege to the Gen 6 starters, the starters of the gen where Mega was first introduced? IMO, yes and since Serena and Alain own a Delphox and Chesnaught in the anime, that might be more likely than you think, especially since Alain already has a Mega. Again, I hate to sound like a broken record, but they should properly explain Battle Bond in either the remakes' post game or the Gen 6 legends game (in addition to Zygarde, AZ, and the rest of Kalos' history ofc, since Kalos does have a rich history, at least according to the anime), and have the Pokemon (somewhat) resemble their trainers (so the player character) after transforming. This is what should be done ideally for the Gen 6 starters, making them a more solid trio (Greninja only having the additional honor of being in Smash and Unite, Delphox and it's pre-evo being in Unite and Pokken. Yeah probably should do something for Chesnaught, maybe an ancient Kalosian form or something, and add him to Unite). But naturally, this is way too much work for GF, despite earning millions off of, Idk, the biggest franchise in the world (at least one of the biggest?). And, yeah, at that point, at least give 'em the Mega. But, IMO, they should try their best for one of the most controversial and imbalanced trios in Pokemon. I mean, it's just 3 Pokemon. And it's not like you haven't done Pokemon with a gajillion variations before (Vivillion, Alcremie and Floette). Given the way Smash looks and feels on the Switch, I doubt there'd be too many hardware limitations for that. Again, my opinion so feel free to disagree.

[@zomorion9183]

@Roger Loe Yeah, I get where you're coming from. But man, do I want this trio to be solid as a whole!

[@theseaweasel9861]

Originally megas were branded as a way to give some powercreeped Pokémon new power. since there was no way judge Kalos Pokémon as powercreeped when they were brand new and they all unfortunately missed their Chances at megas.

[@LosJoshh]

11:11 This is something I’ve been thinking about, after the Pokémon movie and seeing the Torterra farm and how they were massive and actually living walking forest/terrains. Made me wonder about Avulugg and if it has the ability to get massive as well if it grows enough. I imagine this would only be possible on the poles but they’d be these sleeping giant icebergs either laying still on land or asleep adrift at sea mistaken for huge icebergs. Love the world building you can do with Pokemon

[@flurraz7083]

Lol imagine it was a huge avalugg that crashed into the Pokémon Titanic

[@demi-femme4821]

I mean, Hisuian Avalugg can supposedly get pretty big, so maybe the same applies to the original.

[@LosJoshh]

[@thereddragonnerd3648]

Ive seen elite.4 Gmax Torterra before and it is still my absolute favorite Gmax form, real or fanmade

[@downd.stairs174]

I feel like GMax-Torterra could have a sort of Spinda gimmick, where no two Torterra-Worlds are alike! Maybe there could even be one where it’s just land, or just water.

[@zomorion9183]

I loved all of these starter GMAX designs, except, ironically enough, GMAX Greninja. I feel like the water looked too colorless, especially when you compare it to Empoleon's tsunami water, which was an awesome blue. Even GMAX Inteleon has a much more brightly colored water sniper. Also, Greninja itself didn't really change all that much, which again Empoleon did. It also lacked the distinct, glowing and brightly colored eyes most GMAX forms have.

[@doorknob9714]

The thing is, it’s based off of ying ninjas, who dress on white. It’s also a duplication jutsu, so it makes sense to be the same.

[@zomorion9183]

@@doorknob9714 Still the eyes and the water feel like they need improvements IMO to give off more of that kaiju vibe.

i mean, water doesn't even have color

[@zomorion9183]

@@mrpanda9164 It's still less impressive IMO, but okay I suppose.

[@yurij6068]

Bro this is not water, it's literally an alter ego made of mental energy, like the one goku used against moro with the mental power of mui, and it suits very well on greninja...wtf you're talking about?!?!

[@JustJamieonYT]

the artist killed it with these designs! would love to see a custom art video with your interpratations on gmax forms for all the starters!!

[@BinkZinc]

Honestly, the Meganium gigantimax REALLY improved Meganium's final evolution design.

[@PantaroParatroopa]

Here's some hypothetical G-Max Moves. Because the Kanto starters and the Galar starters G-Max Moves were largely similar, I'm doing this with the limitation that all three starters have the same effect. It might not make total sense for all three. Torterra: G-Max Planetfall / Infernape: G-Max Flame Cloud / Empoleon: G-Max Reign Storm. The user and allies are immune to Ground-type moves for 5 turns. Meganium: G-Max Solar Raze / Typhlosion: G-Max Pyroclasm / Feraligatr: G-Max Riptide. Lowers the accuracy of all opponents by two stages.

[@MicoDossun]

The thing I like about Gigantamax Pokemon that we didn't get with Mega Pokemon is that the Galar Pokemon with GMax forms had their concepts finished with the Gmax forms cause they were built around that. Mega Pokemon were always weird cause they felt like they were forcing an arbitrary concept around a finished Pokemon with the exception of Diancie. Like I think GMax Orbeetle is better than any Mega Pokemon because it had the benefit of being designed as a four stage from the getgo. Retroactive GMax forms... feel like they have the same issue as Mega Pokemon. I wish more GMax forms worked better with size though, like I think ones like Orbeetle or Centiskorch are awesome but what does say Corviknight have to do with size? I do think it's gonna be weird to lose Gmax forms cause now it sorta feels like something like Coalossal is an incomplete concept.

[@rjs4176]

Wait, since when could Rillaboom's drum turn invisible? Last I checked it just carries it around on its back, kind of like a little backpack. You can see it clear as day in Pokémon Camp. I think that's pretty neato in all honesty.

Chesnaughts G-Max could be him connected to a large tree, as it looks like a conker, and it could have a special move where it rains down conkers onto the battlefield, damaging all enemies and leaving conkers to damage any Pokémon that come out, like stealth rock

[@rishisaini6680]

You know that the Gigantamax Empoleon is huge when the Wailord is that small compared to the wave

[@FlashFox21]

I wanted to see G-Max Delphox being a delphox wearing a witch hat, and riding their stick like the flying brooms witches use.

[@pussmagic1541]

Same for me, I even feel like doing a G-Max Delphox one day.

[@XanderMander006]

[@elchjol2777]

As someone that came into the series with Pokemon White,seeing a Gmax version of my favorite snake brought a smile to my face.

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

Here are some G-Max moves for each: Torterra: G-Max World Crash(ground) sets up spikes Infernape: G-max Burning Cloud(fire) makes the user immune for ground for five turns Empoleon: G-max Tsunami(water) forces target to be switched out Meganium: G-max Ancient Flora(grass) drops a random stat on the enemies Typhlosion: G-max Malstorm(fire) drops all enemy accuracy Feraligatr: G-max Croco Chomp(water) drops all enemy evasion Greninja: G-max Pond Avatar(water) raises ally evasion Serperior: G-max Master Serpent(grass) raises a random stat for allies Torterra[again]: G-max Titanic Fruit(grass) gives allies a berry that is eaten immediately

[@pn2294]

I feel like Infernape and Empoleon should have Fighting and Steel type moves respectively

[@matheussandbakk9959]

I understand why BDSP didn't include Dynamac and GMax as it was made pretty clear that it was a phenomenon exclusive to Galar caused by Eternatus. But it not innovating in anything except the Fairy Type is so disappointing Even if they just gave the Gym Leaders their Platinum Teams and made the Platinum Dex the Standard, it'd be 10x better, yet they didn't even do that

[@ProfessorTakatoPalm]

They all look incredible! I love the artwork. I like the second Torterra design the best. It looks amazing!

What if more starter pokemon can mega evolve? Currently the gen 1 and gen 3 starters are capable of mega evolving,so what would it be like if the other generation starters can mega evolve? Please make a video about that, Brandon! 😁

[@PrivateSparky]

I think I like the second Torterra design better. I get the first one is playing off hard on Torterra’s inspiration but… the globe shape feels too goofy.

[@jembozaba4864]

I want the Sinnoh starters to have some regional forms. I imagine Torterra to be a Grass Psychic type, Empoleon would be a Water/Ice type and Infernape would be a Fire/Fairy type. I also see Infernape holding a bone staff, to represent Ryujingu Bang. Imagine Infernape using all of Marowak’s bone moves and being able to use Thick Club

[@thefurkage]

We need a part 2 for the rest of the starters, these are way to cool

[@ramblingnonsense8030]

The Empoleon front spike could be seen as a codpiece! A bit anachronistic, but fits the royalty vibe!

[@angels.3686]

GMax Con, for Serperior. All pokemon on the field get their SpAtk dropped by 1, including Seperior. "Con" coming from something bad (the opposite of "pro"), but also the fact that Serperior has Contrary as its ability usually. So if Serperior has Contrary, then it not only decreases SpAtk of enemies, but raises its own SpAtk

[@aurawolf8761]

The new form that Typolsion got in legends of Arceus was great this new dynamics fake mon design is even greater and I love it so much so well done
