Summary
- Pokemon GO is set to introduce Dynamax and Gigantamax evolutions, sparking excitement among fans for the game's future evolution mechanic.
- Recent updates in the game hint at the addition of these new forms, but Niantic has yet to provide an official release date or comment on the discovery.
- Despite concerns about the game becoming stagnant, the introduction of these new evolutions may help keep Pokemon GO exciting and fresh for players, while addressing issues with microtransactions.
Pokemon GO has revealed that Dynamax and Gigantamax evolutions are coming to the mobile game, though it's not clear if the reveal was intentional or not. The unique Pokemon evolution mechanic is getting fans excited for the future of Pokemon GO.
Dynamax and Gigantamax evolutions were added to the series in Pokemon Sword and Shield. The mechanic has since returned in some spin-off titles, but not a mainline entry to the series. With both forms of evolution, Pokemon grow to become huge, with Gigantamax Factor Pokemon getting a new form entirely. These evolutions are temporary, so it will be interesting to see how they come into play in Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO Players Aren't Happy About Mega Rayquaza Change
Despite the hype around the recent event, Pokemon GO fans express their disappointment over one major Mega Rayquaza change that Niantic introduced.
A recent update has revealed the game's plans to introduce Dynamax and Gigantamax evolutions to Pokemon GO. Eagle-eyed fans have discovered that when looking at one's list of acquired Pokemon, there are now two filter icons for Dyanamax and Gigantamax. At the moment, the icons have the logo for the two evolutionary forms, but are simply marked as "?" And "???" Instead of having proper names. It seems no Pokemon are actually categorized as being eligible for either of these forms at this time, either.
Niantic Seemingly Teases Dynamax and Gigantamax in Unusual Way
Pokemon GO fans were a bit confused upon this discovery, as usually a reveal for something like this coming to the game would arrive with more build-up and fanfare. It's possible that this element of the update wasn't meant to be shipped yet, or perhaps Niantic wanted to drum up excitement in a different way. The game developer has yet to comment on the discovery, and no official date has been provided for when these new forms might actually become available in Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO finds itself in an interesting place, as it's rapidly catching up with the giant list of Pokemon available in the core series. If the developer adds new Pokemon too quickly, the game could end up becoming stagnant, with nothing new to add until the next mainline entry releases, like Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Adding Dynamax and Gigantamax evolutions may be a way to help keep the game exciting and generate new battle strategies without rounding out the Pokedex.
However, fans will likely be watching to see how Gigantamax and Dynamax are executed. Numerous players have voiced their resentment of Pokemon GO's microtransactions. With any luck, these two evolutionary forms will be added to the game soon and in a way that's fair for everyone to gain access to.
