>>45785494>What are some theories or headcanons you have regarding Pokemon?The reason people in hoenn and kalos beat you over the head with how you need to have a strong bond for mega evolution to work is because once you have their trust, the resulting energy from the mega evolution is "spread" between you, meaning you share the burden, this process is taxing on a trainer and might be dangerous if their pokemon isn't 100% sure they will endure it (this is also why a trainer can only use one mega per battle)
this is also why mega evolutions in alola have such dark descriptions, that's what happens when the pokemon lack such a bond with a trainer, which they are completely unaware of.
