>>27695711I thought that mega evolutions were neat but kind of cheesy. You can plow through the game with them or use them online and pretty much require the other person to pull out a mega of their own. It doesn't help that, AFAIK, I won't be able to take my mega stone collection to S&M.
Alolan forms seem a little lazy but I think that's the direction they should've gone in the first place and I'd rather see new variations of old pokemon that I liked than new pokemon that suck. Living desserts are terrible but I think ghost/fire Marowak is great. That being said, I'd like to see Alolan forms of mons from more than gen1. I'm really hoping for a new Octillery that's water/poison with markings like a blue-ringed octopus.
