Should pokemin get alternate sizes? HP and speed could change

>taking away gourgeist's gimmick
Never, I love my fatass pumpkin and its unique size feature

I would be okay if some pokemon came in a regular and giant size tho. Regular sized mons are the ones you can find anywhere, but giant sized are found only in specific areas under certain conditions (defeating X trainers, bringing an item with you, time of the day, etc.) and behave like wild minibosses. They could be like totems that you could catch, but dunno how it would go from there. Maybe make it so that they have 50 extra points in HP than regular sizes, or moves only they can get. Imagine going into a swamp with a mudkip in your party when there's overworld rain to find a giant swampert that has 150 HP and knows the moves recover and superpower. Or going into a cave holding a dragon scale to find a giant druddigon with 127 HP, stone edge and knock off.

Would probably fuck up the meta since everyone would use the giant size, but game-wise I think it'd be cool for the exploration aspect.

>Not adding a feature because of 1 pokemon
Mabye gorguiest was just a test. But if it wasn't it wouldn't really matter because it has 4 and every other pokemon has only 3

Didn't you say between 3-5?

Anyways yes, sometimes it is worth not adding a feature because of 1 pokemon. Otherwise every pokemon would change its looks between seasons because it is unfair to only keep this to sawsbuck and real life deer aren't the only ones that adapt to the environment changing. Sometimes some things are better as just one species' gimmick.

I think its interesting, but ultimately having sizes for every pokemon just adds one more min/max thing that you need to either grind for a long time for or just inject, so its not really a feature that helps the average player, and it doesn't really make competitive more interesting, just adds something else to min/max.

They KIND of did this in ORAS with the Poke Nav thing. It would be cool if they did it the way you suggested, but instead of having altered base stats, they could have exclusive moves or come with perfect IVs off the bat, and maybe some custom line on their status screen that stated that they were king of the forest you caught them in, or even just a symbol ala shiny Pokemon.

and if a pokemon hatches giant, it can say
>"This pokemon is destined to be a king/quenn"

>>33227975
It was already no longer an exclusive gimmick thanks to pokemon go

>>33228097
I don't play GO, elaborate

>>33228118
Pokemon can have random sizes

>>33228128
and they kinda mean jackshit there

Cool feature, was nice for pumpkin, would wanna see it exist, but lazyfreak is never gonna do that for 8xx pokemon (even the ashnime made it clear that pokemon of the same species have different sizes)
