>>24618721You're right, but if you're able to treat Megas as new Pokemon, this is a non-issue.
This promotes exploration across the region in the hopes that you'll be able to find a mega stone for one of your favorite Pokemon. However, from a game development standpoint, it has to be done post-game due to the fact that hunting for these stones would take the focus away from the main game.
Some regular Pokemon are better than others, its not a problem that exists solely with Megas Evolution. And this really only applies if you play competitively at all.
Fair point
Same as #3, people will always be opinionated when it comes to Pokemon (muh bro, muh generation etc.), not exclusive to Megas. And literally nobody skipped a game just because their bro didn't get a Mega.
Fair point, but they can easily create an item or sub menu to store Mega Stones in.
New engine, everything in 3D, Fairies, PSS, Amie, Super Training, Rollerskates, Friend Safari, Trainer Customisation, and O-Powers were all able to make it into the game despite Megas being a major focus now.
See #3 again
Literally who cares about genwunners. Let them pander this once with XY and we never have to deal with it again.
