>>46872873Sadly that makes a lot of sense. Can't sell new merchandise based on base stat buffs, unlocked hidden abilities, type changes, etc. Gotta have a new model so they can sell new plushies.
That said, almost every single mega-evo model is absolute dogshit. The majority of them are just "dude let's take the pokemon and then add a bunch of random spikes everywhere lmao"
Who the fuck thought pic-related looks good?
