I'm a fan of Megas. I'm also a fan of standard evolutions. The dilemma here lies in how they will address Megas after Gen 6. Will we just receive Mega Rings during the quest in future generations? Or will they make items non-transferable to Gen 7, thus making Mega Evolution impossible? And here, why bother in the first place? A major gameplay mechanic has never been truly removed. And Megas are a drastic gameplay change.
I feel some Megas would have been better suited as a standard evolution. Many single-stage or two-stage Pokemon could benefit from this. Address stat changes accordingly, unless +100 would be normal without breaking the Mon completely. Absol, Houndoom, Heracross, Manectric, Pinsir, Mawile...many of the Megas, in design terms, are a logical progression as far as a standard evolution is concerned.
Tl;dr, some Megas should have been general evolutions , but i still love the concept.
