>>19186401No, most people called them strange formes from the start. The argument was whether or not they're Megas or just barely-above-Xerneas-tier Active mode bullshit.
I did argue that their proportions were merely stylized and that they had the same silhouettes as before, and that that was evidence against the formes being Megas. Hell, I might be the same person you remember arguing against on the 7th.
If I am, I'd like to clarify that I'd pretty much conceded these to be different from normal Groudon and Kyogre, but not different enough to be Megas.
