>>28557846>if they're going to be shitty megas, why even be megas at all?Why are you acting like Gamefreak deliberately tried to make shitty megas? They were experimenting. They didn't always succeed. No one said all megas are well designed, but condemning the whole concept is overreacting.
>>28557966>(which are a good thing and a much better way of handling useless old Pokemon, despite the apparent majority's opinion of them all looking like shit).Then why the fuck is it a good thing? You just explained how it isn't, without explaining how it is.
Megas gave way more Pokemon competitive usability.
Cross-gen evos are non-optional and permanent. They outright replace the Pokemon that people already liked with abominations like Rhyperior. And cross-gen evos didn't balance the meta either by your logic, you just got broken ass shit like Gliscor and eviolite Chansey, while shitmons like Magmar remained shitmons.
Your logic is fundamentally flawed and it's obvious you just have a bias towards conventional evolutions and against megas, without any sort of practical reasoning to back it up.
