>>21914234>Mega Pokemon isn't even close to a Mega Digimontrue, but those are so rare they almost none existent within their respective worlds (it's pretty rare to see a digimon go higher than adult in the first place)
then there's this:
>torchic's fireballs are hot enough to melt rock>blaziken can kick with 3 tons of forcethese are rare pokemon, but every year one third of new Hoenn trainers gets one and then there's breeding to increase their numbers.

would explain why it's so ingrained in their culture.
