Pokémon become huge with Dynamax & Gigantamax

dynamax

Dynamaxing!

Dynamax is a phenomenon unique to specific locations in the Galar region, where Pokémon are able to take on gigantic appearances. Dynamax Pokémon become tremendously strong and their stats get a boost but they will return to normal after three turns.

gigantamax

Gigantamaxing!

Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax—and even among such species, only rare specimens will be able to. Gigantamax Pokémon become bigger and it boosts the power of the Pokémon. It also allows each Gigantamax Pokémon to use a unique move known as a G-Max Move!

Pretty fun! Go with an open mind
There was a lot of negative backlash before the game came out because of the reduced Pokedex. At first I thought it wouldn't be an issue for me, I'm mostly casual about Pokemon games. However, when I couldn't carry my favourite Vivillon from Pokemon X across I was kinda bummed.Could they have done more? Yes. It feels a bit unpolished... rushed. I feel as if every other Pokemon game I've played were longer experiences. The older games had better caves and routes hands down. Since the Nintendo DS versions, those previous games also had more Pokemon to play with. There are older games on the Switch that look better than this, but it doesn't look bad. Some human voice acting really wouldn't hurt, but overall the music is well done.I don't care too much for Dynamax, this version's gimmick which makes Pokemon extremely large. You get really cool items for doing it, so I take part in them + the gyms have them. However, I'm not excited by it. <rant>To be honest, I don't know why they stopped doing Mega Evolutions, they could have made that life long instead of a gimmick.</rant>The Wild Area is a special place that gives you a freedom to roam the Pokemon world in different habitats. Since I've been playing Breath of the Wild, it doesn't really feel open to me (maybe not their fault). It's still pretty nice. However, it never felt not critical. When I got tired of catching and wanted to advance the plot, I just stuck to the routes and the game didn't care one bit.Unlike previous games, in this game you cannot catch Pokemon that are a higher level than you. That simple mechanic made the Wild Area less appealing for me. Masterminding how to take down a level 40 Pokemon with my party of 20s was pretty fun and I would have really liked to catch it.The story is "meh" at best. Aside from Black/White, these games never made an attempt for a story. And that's fine, I think if they stuck with the sports theme without distractions this game would have been better off.It sounds pretty negative, but otherwise it's a great experience. It's a standard Pokemon game, really great mechanics that hasn't gotten old as yet. They also made a lot of quality of life improvements with regards to moving around the world and moves which are definitely welcomed. I'm looking forward to the DLC as well. And generally, I'm still having a good time with it.If you like Pokemon, pick this one up! If you're new to the main game series, this is the most usable one by far.
