they were cool designs that made a lot of cool but terrible pokemon viability
like mawile or kanga
the problem was that they gave megas to literal legendaries, psuedos and other pokemon that didn't REALLY need it...but that wasn't really a reason to cull them completely
also it's funny that garchomp got a mega and because he was so good already his mega was actually shittier than using a normal chomp
