continuing in the time‐honoured pokémon fan tradition of just kind of ignoring the fact that dynamaxing pokémon is probably actually really fucked up
dynamax battling is a very recent and unnatural addition to the sport promoted entirely because it makes for good T·V; there is very little to suggest that it is actually like, good or healthy for the pokémon involved
it’s awkward though because like, it’s not just going to go away? everybody in galar expects it now. there would be a huge uproar if the pokémon league was like, “nah we’re banning dynamax”
like sword and shield are pretty explicit about the fact that dynamax pokémon usually, er, go on rampages and the whole “using them in battle” thing was something chairman rose, the big bad guy of the entire game, invented to increase spectacle, which was opposed for probably ethical reasons by the person who was most knowledgable regarding the dynamax phenomenon, professor magnolia
