[Discussion] Dynamaxing

I know that this concept is Super new but will we be able to implement this in our games in the Future?

I don't know how can we make Pokemon bigger in size while the battle goes on..I guess we have to add more Dynamax Forms in Pokemon forms.txt PBS file?
We will find out!

You can submit your thoughts below.!

Implementing it doesn't seem too difficult based on what we know so far. Making it look good on the other hand might be a pretty big challenge.

Yep, we just need to put zoom_x and _y for the battler for tree turns and see how Dynamax works (about moveset, i noticed the change of the names, if double power attack and if have a extra effect), etc.

Yes,scaling the battlers can do the trick,but there exists the problem of pixelated battlers while scaling,which can look really wierd.But making a new sprite for every dynamax forms would be too much work.Hmm,maybe we can talk more of this when we see how the mechanism works in the games.

Zeak uses EBS and puted 50% to opponent and 150% to attacker and have a nice look.

Well, shouldn't that look like the opponent has shrinked as well?If you have to go this way,we will also have to shrink the background by the same proportion to make it really feel original.

Wouldn't that just loose the quality of the Sprite?

I don't think there would be a loss of quality (at least,not if the ebs is already doubled).

Nops. Also you can test in your how its looks like.

After the E3 I feel like it's gonna be the same "Ring and Stone" System as seen in Mega Evolution and Z-Moves.

FOr Dynamaxing, we need to zoom in one sprite or zoom out other sprite. changing all moves and stats. Also giving all mons a shade and finally making them avail in specific area

Yeah!

Not removing the National Dex tho. Lol

I think this will be (graphically) labourious and some will request it for vanilla essentials, others for EBS.

I'll be interested to see the script but I'm actually not interested at all by the dynamaxing itself. Maybe it's because I'm an old pokemon player and already have problems with mega evolution but I think this has gone too far :D

Good grief. Besides the intellectual part of pokemon, which is coding and Showdown (both not controlled by Nintendo), I don´t care. They know that, so they won´t try to please 20+yo advanced players. Instead they want to captivate generation Z of boys and girls mainly with what is pleasing to the eye.
When I´ll have kids I won´t let them play pokemon, hah.

My idea for Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing (which I plan to implement in my own fan game to some extent) is to create a sprite with a dark pink shade/tint to it along with a pink cloud or two. This along with a very slight sprite size increase should get the message across and remain visually appealing and it works (since all dynamax pokemon appear to have a pink aura and pink clouds above them). Gigantamax is a little easier since there is an actual form change in the pokemon itself much like mega evolution.

Those are my thoughts on it, figured I'd offer my input in case anyone else finds this idea desirable for their own fan game.

Would it be possible for the screen size setting to be changed to Large during a Dynamax/Gigantamax battle?
As it currently stands there isn't a lot of room on the screen to really make these titan sized pokemon, well titan sized.

It is better you make a code using zoom_x and y for the battler pokémon instead auto-config the screen size when pokémon uses Gigantamax.
