>>53194882>But for anyone who likes them and started with gens 1-5: really? Let me ask you this: would you not have preferred regular evolution for your bro? Do you really like megas as a concept or do you just kinda like that your shitmon bro was buffed? Yes? Why not. It was a fun way to upgrade a Pokemon without bloating up the pokedex or replacing the original design outright (similarly, I also like their experiments with things like Region Variantions). The concept of transformation was already present in other Pokemon like Giratina or Deoxys, and this is an extension of that idea.
I also love how its used in other media like spin-offs or the anime as a "trump card" during battles.
