black and white 3: Integrating the Gimmicks

Unova was the generation before every region got its own battling Gimmick, and honestly, I don’t think they need their own. HOWEVER, I do think there are ways to bring back other Gimmicks, even the region exclusive ones.

If ONLY so we can see them used more in battle competitions

the BW3 is going to get all sorts of toys to play with lol.

Terra Orbs: Accessible Post-Game

Imported from Paldea, these require recharging at unique stations only found in special PokeCenters

unfortunately, these recharging stations have to be regularly shipped back to Paldea in order to recharge the Tera Crystals inside

these are still in beta until Postgame

They have been distributed to select trainers in but can be earned through a small series of tests

this is the Paldea’s League way of checking to see if Unova is safe enough for them to be willing to participate in the Pokemon World Tournament

the testing area is run by a Elite 4 member Rika and Poppy, as well as a champion-level student studying abroad

Dynmaxing: Accessible Post Game

By far the least favored of the gimmicks in Unova due to the sheer SIZE of the affected pokemon being far greater than most infrastructure is design to handle, few areas allow it

like Tera Orbs, Dynamax bands would require recharging from special “Eternal Lanterns”

this is Macros Cosmo’ attempt to wheedle into the Unovan Market but has been notably unsuccessful

the player would receive a dynamax band post-game out of sheer desperation, but would be unable to use it until recieving/finding one of these lanterns

cannot be used in official league battles outside of the Pokemon World Tournament due to the buildings being unable to handle them

Z-Crystals/Z moves (+ bringing Grimsley and Colress back into Unova): accessible in early game

Castelia City:

look if Galar can blatantly steel Silvally from Alola with NO EXPLANATION, Grimsley can sneak out of the country with a box full of Z-Crystals and a Z-Ring or two

Only work with if the character has 1 of four special Alolan Totems (one from each island, each Z-Crystal only works with the Trial Captains associated diety)

First Z-Ring and Z-Crystal (type only, no Species Z crystals) of your starter is free if you beat him in battle but the totem costs you 60,000 pokedollars, halved to 30k if you beat him again afterwords

Will only sell you one Z-crystal a day for 15k of your choice IF you beat him

If you loose you have to wait for the next day

Only found at night

Colress on the other hand, will give you a random Z Crystal (that you may or may not already have) if you beat him in battle using a Z Crystal (so he can study it’s energy)

Once you have gotten all the Z-Crystals and Totems, the next time you see go to them they are together, they mention packing up their bags to try different haunts

They leave with a final gift to them for their assistance/indulgence of their games (INSERT SOMETHING INSANELY HELPFUL BUT NOT PLOT RELEVANT- shiny charm maybe?) 

As soon as they leave the scene, the officer Jenny shows up, and asks the player if she/he/they have seen two suspicious/shady men with strange hair and coats

The player can say yes and point in the direction they ran and send the Officer’s on their tail, or say no and point them in the wrong direction

If player says No, Grimsley and Colress will appear occasionally through out the city and greet the player (possibly at Gear Station as challengers?)

If the player rats them out Colress and Grimsley are never scene again

Either way, this would lead to a later Post Game cutscene during the Pokemon World Tournament with Kukui regarding the missing totems and Z-Crystals where the player has the option to return the items or lie and keep them

Player returns the Stolen Items (of course, half the games about being TRUTHFUL) to Kukui (as the Totem have been drained at that point)

Kukui can now be used to “recharge” the Totems to real low access to Z-Moved

Mega-Evolution: accessibility early game

Nimbasa City

Mega Ring with Key Stone gifted to player from dad after he returns to trip from Kalos, unfortunately he doesn’t have a mega stone for it, but that can be another adventure/quest for the player to work on!

Mega-Crystals can be gifted from NPCs after helping them with requests or purchased at Gear station using BP (higher price items) 

Professor Augustine sent a bunch of mega stones to the Subway Bosses (pre-PLA) in an attempt to prove they were safe (after Hoenn’s smearing the public image of Mega-Evolution)

I really think megas will win, but I'm curious. Maybe prove me wrong?

By gimmick I specifically mean like the moves, so not regional forms and such.

non binary Pokémon

So I did this sketch à few days ago to play with the 2 colors of the genders that confuse me constantly, between what I sense inside and what I show/see outside. And my very Pokémon oriented gremlin asked me if my character was « dynamaxing » and went on to explain to me how certain pokemon evolve… and I wish that everybody could understand that, when I try more and more to express and explore and reclaim some aspects of both genders, I’m just dynamaxing my gender.

If only the Master Tournament also included a special double battle exhibition match between these four fan favorite Champions before the finals

Honestly, I think it's hilarious that the Detective Pikachu movie managed to slip in a blatant reference to Dynamaxing with that entire Torterra garden scene and absolutely NOBODY noticed because the movie came out before Sword and Shield did.

First time I watched the movie, I was like "Oh, I wonder what kind of fucked up unethical experiments that lab did on those poor Torterra to make them grow so big. :(" but when I rewatched it during quarantine after I played Sword, it dawned on me that they must have pumped the Torterra full of Dynamax particles.

Like, this movie and SwSh were probably in development around the same time so I bet some writer on the Detective Pikachu team was just sitting there like "Wouldn't it be funny if we had this entire scene with a game mechanic nobody knows about yet, so when people rewatch the movie later, they'll be like "OH YOU MOTHER FUCK-"

Gamefreak really went 'Kieran really did All That Chaos on his own due to old Human Envy and not possession' and I think that is very brave of them.
