>>55505211>how are they going to explain any of the new ones, especially if a new gen (7-9) pokemon gets oneWouldn't it be easier to explain newer Pokémon having Megas? They weren't around in Kalos, so it's not like there's precedent for them NOT having one.
Either way it's as easy as "we found a new Mega Stone." You could even have new ones explicitly get created somehow if you really need to explain it.
>It's a Legend games, the dex is going to be super limited. Arceus only had 242 pokemon in the gameArceus's dex was small because Sinnoh's dex was small. XY had three times as many Pokémon in its regional dex than DP did. PLA added another 30 Pokémon onto Platinum's dex, and there were technically even a few more than that with regional forms and shit.
Now with that said, I am not exactly expecting all 450 Pokémon in the Kalos Pokédex to be represented in this game. Having probably twice as many Pokémon as PLA would be a major increase in scope (the largest dex in the entire franchise, not counting National Dex or DLC) which doesn't necessarily lend itself to PLA's catch-em-all gameplay, or line up with the idea that the game is going to be limited to only Lumiose City.
It is possible that the gameplay is substantially different from PLA which would make a large dex more feasible, but we just have to wait and see. The trailer did seem to put a lot of focus on there being a shitload of Pokémon in the city. I would guess a dex of around 300 as a conservative baseline.
>They got rid of megas before and they will do it again.Yeah probably, but there are parts of the franchise where Megas never left or could be brought back with no problem, like the mobile games and TCG. And the expectation that a Legends game is self-contained and there's no need to worry about balancing Megas in the actual metagame is exactly the kind of situation that might make them feel free to experiment with them more and just make up cool shit.
