People will keep buying their incomplete games and keep getting ripped off by their DLCs. Nothing's gonna change.

Literally any indie studio could make a pokemon game better than this.

[@ralpbeez8414]

I just remembered encountering Munchlax in the same gen as Azure Flute. Now what is up with THAT logic...

[@PansyPops]

The gen 6 starters should’ve had a mega each. They all deserved it, since the gen 3 got megas for no reason and they were released in the debut generation of mega evolution.

[@divakaranchandrahasan7249]

Its not no reason, as they are starters for ORAS. I bet the Kalos starters were supposed to get Megas in the Z version that was scrapped to give way for SM as it was the 20th anniversary. Its the same as Galar starters only getting their Gigantamax form in the dlc.

[@PansyPops]

@@divakaranchandrahasan7249 I see what you mean by the Hoenn starters getting Megas, but I’d imagine that Delphox, Chesnaught and Greninja would’ve taken priority for getting Megas. They could’ve even got new Megas in Sun/Moon, just to give them what they deserve. Every starter since then has received access to the new gimmick of the generation, for example gen 7 getting Z Moves and gen 8 getting Gigantamax Bare minimum they should give Delphox and Chesnaught a new ability to let it change forms, since Greninja got Ash Greninja. Currently there is nothing drawing people to not use Greninja, as it’s got the best hidden ability, a secret third ability and is one of the most liked Pokemon in worldwide, even Gamefreak and Nintendo planned on its massive appeal by putting it in a Super Smash, most likely developing every detail before the reveal of it in the main games. I just hope that GF realised that they really missed out with the Kalos starters, as they deserved a mega evolution above all. Above the Hoenn starters, which likely only got them because of their region being remade, above Mewtwo’s duel mega evolution (which likely got 2 for marketing and out of favouritism) and above the Kanto starters (which were probably given a mega each *and* a second unnecessary one to Charizard out of favouritism and for even more marketing). Please know that I’m not saying this because I hate the mega evolutions out of hate for them, since Venasaur is one of my favourite starter and it’s Mega is my favourite Mega Evolution, with Swampert being a close second. In fact I’m saying this because I genuinely think they are undeserved, with the Kanto starters needing them less since they had their chance in their own game back in 1996.

[@RFDN0]

It was a balancing issue. Megas were suppose to make weaker older pokemon realivant again. We saw this with HA's in earlier generations and megas were the next attempt at balancing pokemon.

[@PansyPops]

@@RFDN0 that raises another question. If it was for balancing, then why Mewtwo and Rayquaza, they were already massive in competitive and used a lot, Megas essentially broke them. I can see why some were given Megas, such as Sableye and Mawile, but giving them to already over-powered and extremely common legendaries just doesn’t make sense from any point of view or any argument, apart from just advertising. As I mentioned before, Mewtwo and Rayquaza are the main culprits, but there are several others that didn’t really deserve a mega. Garchomp was already good enough as an attacker, to the point where using the mega variant could arguably be a downgrade on your team. Latias and Latios, though not the strongest, already were good tanks, so didn’t really need too much changing. Metagross and Tyranitar were both pretty good before their Megas as pseudo legendaries like Garchomp, but I could make a case for Metagross having a mega, since it’s the ace for Steven (and all both champions in gen 6, and the elite four in OrAs had a mega for their ace). Out of all the Mega evolutions, 15 were from Kanto, 6 from Johto, a massive 20 from Hoenn, 5 from Sinnoh, and finally 1 from 1 from Unova (plus 1 from Kalos which isn’t even available any more). If you ask me, they should’ve taken many away from Hoenn since that was a remake, with several Pokemon not even being available wild in Kalos, and give more to Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos. Don’t forget taking some away from Kanto either, since it had 15 (only 5 less than Hoenn). The gen 1 starters, Mewtwo, Alakazam and Gengar were all pretty balanced and popular without a mega (apart from Mewtwo, that was already one of the strongest and didn’t need a buff) so are somewhat undeserving of more attention. Salamance and Metagross (along with the other pseudo legendaries from all generations) have a base stat total of 600, so that doesn’t need buffing in the slightest. Latias and Latios were pretty good already, so didn’t need buffing (didn’t need the attention either, with a movie dedicated to one of them), and Rayquaza was in a similar spot as Mewtwo, being already strong and popular amongst fans. Tons of weaker Pokemon could’ve made use of a mega, such as Honchkrow, Vespiquen and Froslass (froslass most deserving since its counterpart- Galalie- got one). Unova only got Audino’s mega, so more weaker ones could’ve gained Megas such as Scrafty, Gothitelle, Golurk, Haxorus and countless others. By far the most deserving is Kalos, who received worse treatment than Unova in the mega department because the one and only Pokemon to be given a mega isn’t even available now, given as an event to players with Diance. Xerneas and Yveltal deserve a mega each- being the box legends (sort of Zygarde, but that wasn’t a box legendary and gets an extra 2 forms instead), Slurpuff, the Starters at least, maybe even the fossils since Aerodactyl had one. All in all, despite being intended to make weak Pokemon strong they didn’t succeed in many cases, as it just made stronger ones more prominent (or often untouched in the case Garchomp). Though some did profit, such as Kangaskhan being used on almost every team in VGC, there were still several used less due to other Pokemon filling the role better whilst allowing a different Pokemon to go beyond evolution. Mewtwo, Rayquaza and Kangaskhan were the main winners due to their stats (and ability, in Kang’s case) surpassing all others and just rendering all attempts to take them. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk.

[@RFDN0]

@@PansyPops That is why I use "Suppose". You are correct that pokemon that should not have gotten megas got them. It's a major issue people point to when speaking of megas in general. Balancing pokemon at this point is becoming ludicrous we currently have 800 pokemon and getting each an individual role or combination isn't going to happen anymore.
