Why Is Mega Evolution So Loved?

[@jcg7609]

One major factor you forgot about was their initial reveal. All throughout XY and ORAS, the reveal of a brand new Mega Evolution was always exciting. Speculation was also rampant. People did know what Mega Mewtwo Y was they, though it was Mewthree. People though Lucario got a brand new evolution. People though Ash and Greninja fused somehow. You could see this impact online from 2013 to 2016. Look up on KZbin how many top 10 Mega Evolution video there are or Pokémon that need mega evolutions for Sun and Moon. You barely saw this with G-Max and you never saw it with Z moves and there isn't a point to discuss it with tera types.

[@Roman-Noodlez]

Interesting fact, Scarlet and Violet can be linked to being in the mega universe because of Roaring Moon’s Pokédex entry. By extension this includes Sword and Shield because you can find Sonia’s book at naranja/uva academy.

Too bad you can’t f-ing use megas which feels so misleading

[@sergioricardosantosdoamara5452]

Exactly, all games after X & Y are still in the "Mega" timeline, maybe not Legends: Arceus... It's debatable, also the Let's Go games are in a whole different timeline altogether. Also am i the only one who doesn't think the timeline was split by the shot of Ultimate Weapon? It's a little weird.

[@amberknight7301]

Megas were meaningful AND unique. Megas took some pretty underappreciated Pokemon and made them beasts in battle. Kangaskhan and Mawile would have been completely unused Pokemon if not for their Megas. But it turned them into beasts in unique ways. You don't just get a universal power-up like with Z-moves, Dynamax and Terastilization. Mega Kangaskhan gets a buff no other Pokemon has ever seen before with Parental Bond. Yet it's different from Mega Mawile who gets Huge Power. Which is also different from Mega Banette who gets Prankster and Mega Lopunny who gets Scrappy. Megas allowed weaker Pokemon to shine by giving them synergistic buffs for their base kits. This no longer happens with the subsequent three gimmicks. There's no point in using Mawile with Tera when you can just use a better steel type with higher stats or even just tera a Pokemon into steel type. All it does is make the strong stronger and make the weak, even more irrelevant.

[@Pokiiii62]

EXACTLY BRUH, plus they had so much depth, too. I 110% agree with you

[@Prinny_god]

Defensive teras exist, not to mention terastalieation made an entire type in the type chart viable, you would have a point if it wasn't for the fact alot of the megas given to lesser known mons were still trash compared to the megas the game freak favorites received, even wolfie who won with a mega bannet and got it on the map admits mega bannet is trash compared to mega Gengar and others, megas on paper should have made the weak stronger but literally the same over used pokemon got megas only a handful of mons that were irrelevant got megas, some megas made the pokemon worse for some(like agron) the only buff that matters is making it mono steel(tera does this already and to better effect) megas made the over used more over used and the weak even more irrelevant but with a shiny new coat.

[@Magic_Ice]

I think new evolutions are much better than megas because if megas aren’t supported in that game, well then that Pokemon isn’t good. It makes a whole Pokémon’s viability tied to a form change that may or may not show up again in the future. With a new evolution it will always exist as apart of the pokedex.

[@sergioricardosantosdoamara5452]

[@Saiyagurl]

7:01 YES! I have to agree! One of my biggest gripes about Dynamaxing was the base concept of "Bigger is Better". Just because your pokemon grew the size of a skyscraper (or turned into one) shouldn't automatically mean you will win. Also its basically Mega Evolutions but bigger because some of them change their forms too. Terastallization wouldn't be so bad if the "hats" didn't look so outlandish and it replaced the move Hidden Power, but that's just me. Z crystals at least has lore behind them, but if I'm going to use something one time, I'd rather it be a full transformation instead of just one move. I think even if Megas didn't come out first, the concept is still better. There's was lore, meaning, connection with pokemon and had the BEST advertising.

[@benetnasch1774]

What made megas loved is what gamefreak didn't understand about what made them good, the fact that they felt more like an extra evolution, a mechanic, a new story for pokemons rather than a gimmick, you liked how strong they made pokemon feel and how the design made them look like a natural evolution, like mawile getting 2 mouths, mega venusaur continuing that sprout evolution, mega charizard x and y especially y looked like an evolution of charizard, they were awesome, but gamefreak instead thought, oh they liked meg evolutions because they were new, and that's why we got weird z moves, gigantamax looks like a qeird gimmick no different than cosplay pikachu or that gorgheist sizes, really like you see gigantamax you don't think oh wow gengar got a new evolution, no you think oh it's a gimmick that makes gengar bigger, and terastalization is just, oh now we can have monochromatic pokemon with a single type. People say gigantamax is better because it's more balanced, but honestly who cares about balance, in a game where only 10% at best of pokémon's are viable, and a game that started as a collection game not a battle game, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why they keep making pokémon easier is to kill the competitive community, cause quite frankly they ruined the game for everyone lately. Also I'm positive even if gigantamax came first, people would still prefer megas, a 4th evolution or an evolution for legendaries were a concept as old as the very first generation, and megas were basically that, only thing that could compete with megas might be regional variants, but those too could work alongside megas, and maybe fusions can compete too, but those will never happen except for legendaries

[@senakumara8203]

it's not often brought up by by far my favorite part of the mega evo gimmicks were how the trainer presents them. sawyer has his stone as a bookmark, alain had a black bracelet that matches his outfit, diantha is a necklace, cynthia's a lipstick. its a small thing but it just give the trainers so much personality without needing to speak. the other gimmicks are presented just as.... gimmicks, all trainers have the same z-ring bracelets, all dynamax bracelets are the same (though it could be argued that they were designed based on wristband for sports) and the tera orbs are no different; they tell nothing to us about the trainer's personality and thats honestly is a shame.

[@robertlupa8273]

Maxie has the keystone in his glasses. 😂

[@elvinrivera5638]

Personally Megas don’t feel like gimmicks to me, they feel like something with proper world building and an extension or an evolution to what was previously there… All other gimmicks are kinda meh, especially when every pokemon can use it… Gigantimaxing and Dynamaxing was kinda cool because of the Kaiju aspect but personally I hated SwSh games… Z-moves hot stale real fast as they felt generic especially because of the not so great animations… Terrastalization as a concept is amazing, but I feel its just tacked on and with the crowns it feels even more so like a gimmick… Megas felt powerful, exclusive, unique and were beautifully designed giving the pokemon a new appearance, so they just felt natural, thought through

[@QMS9224]

Exactly, also the fact that you must hold an item is a pretty big restriction. What this meant is that you could bring 2 pokemon (say gyrados, salamence) and your opponent wouldn't know which one was mega. And vice versa, you could also bait out counter plays from your opponent thinking you might use a really popular mega, when really you built an unorthodox tanky build with a berry or assault vest. Idk why people called it gimmicky, I remember it being one of the most fun competitive environments online, and lots of teams to experiment with.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Mega Evolution is obviously the most set up and popular gimmick (being the natural... I guess _evolution_ of Evolution, which has been a series staple since the very start), but imo Z-Moves did well as a side gimmick that went alongside Mega Evolution. For all the mons that weren't capable of Mega Evolving, they had Z-Moves to help them instead. Of course, there could have been better balancing between the two (IMO, you should have been allowed to use only one between _both_ mechanics in a given battle, so your team wasn't still always limited to at least 1 Mega Evolution mons like they tended to be back in Gen 6), but Gen 7 had something good going that could have been expanded upon instead of ditched altogether. Imagine 100 or so Mega Evolution choices and a slightly revamped Z-Move system that followed the way of Max Moves, trading some of the power boost (thus removing some of the cheese aspects of nuking a would be counter with a random 200 bp off meta attack) for some extra effects depending on the move typing - but without three turns of access to said boost and doubled HP.

[@absolutezerochill2700]

I think the main problem of Megas is the inherent unfairness of only a select few pokemon getting megas (and said pokemon already being fan favorites 80% of the time). With terastillazation, Z moves and Dynamax it atleast feels like there's more strategy in it considering that any pokemon can have this powerful gimmick

[@mysteryx267]

I also think the fact that not every mon has it adds to this. Ik the competitive community may complain about it but the fact that it’s unique to only a few pokemon makes it seem more special. (And what you said about the anime at the end is soooo true too)

[@QMS9224]

As someone who played every single pokemon game consistently from Pokemon Soulsilver (1999) up until Pokemon Omega Ruby (2014), I then stopped playing when they cut Mega's from the game. It was also the fact that I had pokemon (like my Charizard, Pikachu, Snorlax etc) that I had literally caught as a 5 year old in Firered (some even in XD Gale of Darkness lol) and transferred them all the way through many generations to pokemon Omega Ruby. But then they also took away my abilty to keep tranferring my beloved pokemon any further. So the combination of these 2 things made me quit my favorite childhood game :( but I hear rumors that mega's may return and if so then I might pick it up again we will see...

Actually only the Z-Moves need bond between Trainer and Pokémon, Dynamax is almost a virus to the Pokémon world that humans learned to use and Terastal, i'm not actually sure to be honest... I also wanted to say that the origin between the Z-Moves and the Dynamax is the exact same: Legendary is mortally wounded, pieces of it fly into the region and the Gimmick is created. Terastal is a little different, since it spread out of the Terapagos in Area Zero Underdepths and Mega Evolution came from the blast of the Ultimate Weapon. Calling Z-Moves more unique is mostly because Necrozma is PEAK Legendary Pokémon, i still love Z-Moves, but it's not that original. I also think the other Gimicks are used better for being usable by ALL Pokémon and not some like Mega Evolution: In that way we have NO Megas for Kalos Pokémon, we have TWO Megas for Charizard and Mewtwo..

No offense, I love mega evolution, but I think it’s worse than Tera in competitive or multiplayer.

Mega Beedrill: That insane attack and speed is gonna be useless if you get one shot by mega Scizor bullet punch or mega Salamence quick attack. Plus, beedrill is a bug and poison type, the two worst types in the game. Mega Rayquaza: I don’t think he needs any explanation. Salamence: Gets bulkier, faster, stronger, and turns Double Edge into Brave Bird on steroids. Other megas are really broken and some are underwhelming. My first and only main series Pokemon game is Sword. I like its graphics, but I also just think Dynamax is a better mechanic because since any pokemon can dynamax, it makes more Pokémon viable.

Mega lore is actualy trash m8 literally goes against the core of pokemon, it hurts your pokemon alot of the time in lore, some of them go berserk and are known to beat up their trainers we see this with lucario often in the anime, its also the moat toxic competitive gimmic adding 0 actual dept besides bringin in a mega or a counter to watever mega is popular at the time(mega raykuaza) tera added better dept to the gameplay with its variation and the fact anione could use it so any pokemon can benefit(it fucking saved ice tipes for arceus sake) and gigantamax was a better mote balanced version of megas.

You say some of them goes berserk like lucario in the anime, as I DIDNT SAY THAT IN THE VIDEO, dawg... did you disregard everything I said 😭

Found the swsh defender, dynamax was banned in 6v6, monotype and Ubers, it’s horribly broken especially when compared to megas or even tera also your so called “truth” about mega evolutions was literally just relying on the stupid Pokédex entries which are nothing but BS because it thinks the player is apparently worse than Voldemort for using megas
