Even then, they're hardly pushed in series, with the only one used with any consistency is the "Wake Up" fuestle.

I wasn't implying that the Fuestles were a gimmick. They simply established the necessity of trinkets alongside the belt in order for the Rider to do form changes or final attacks or whatever. Probably not the best example out there, considering Den-O's Rider Pass actually had some bearing to the story, and even that was preceded by Advent Decks.

This. As long as they are a serious part of the plot and not "just to sell toys" then I'm cool with gimmicks.

Agreed, if the gimmick pulls it off well then I'm fine with it. W and OOO both did the gimmick thing well. Fourze I feel like doesn't do as good of a job with it but it isn't terrible. I'm hoping Wizards' ring gimmick is a little more smooth than having 40 switches to use :lol

Same here, if a gimmick can be pulled off well I'm fine with it. Plus gimmicks have given me some of my favorite fight scenes in Kamen Rider (W vs Eternal and OOO and Foruze vs footsoliders)
