>>24917380>eviolite compatabilityOr you know they could have just taken eviolite out of gen VI, like they did the gems.
Or you know, explain the inconsistency away with a hand wave LIKE THEY DID THE MASSIVE RETCONS GEN VI WAS FULL OF, LIKE FAIRY TYPE AND MEGA EVOLUTION.
OR, PERHAPS, THE HUGE RETCON THAT EVERY SINGLE GEN HAS TO UNDERGO TO INTRODUCE NEW POKEMON AT ALL.
To imply cross gen evos stopped happening, or even more foolishly, to imply that megas exist because of eviolite, is the height of idiocy. What really happened was that until recently all of gen IV's cross gen evos were near universally panned, and gamefreak didn't want to repeat that. Megas were a HUGE brand and marketing undertaking and the underlying motive behind it was to keep the fully evolved pokemon's identity intact instead of replacing them with a new one.
