>>45467492Why am I still posting. Consider this a courtesy since unlike the other anon, at least you're trying to have a conversation.
>If it was a concession, it was my mistake. I aplogizeAlright, sorry for immediately assuming the worst of you.
>So a ratio of 25% is supposed to be good? I'm supposed to be happy with this because GF's normally hilariously bad balance was slightly hilariously bad?I can't tell you to be happy with shit, but 25% is a better ratio of good/great Pokemon(competitively) than any dex expansion to date. That's something, at least.
>I got that, but Mega Mewtwo Y wasn't largely unused because Normal Mewtwo hit harder, it was unused because base Mewtwo brought literally nothing to the table in Ubers and its Megas didn't help in that regard.You're not wrong, but the point is that if Mewtwo is to be slotted into your team, there's a consideration to be made between its mega and its base form with LO. The former is faster, the latter hits harder. It's a very nice way of balancing, IMO.
>I see what you mean now, but that's just ONE example out of the numerous others that didn't suffer from this. Ironically, Mega Blaziken did. To an extent, I also agree with your assessment on Mewtwo. But...that's it. There were never any other Megas who were considered NOT better than their base forms due to the item slot. Mega Garchomp was worse due to its shittier speed tier first and foremost.Mega chomp filled a different role entirely. It was bulky mixed. I know I'm repeating myself here, but it was Kyurem-B lite. Though I suppose your point is that it would have outright replaced Garchomp if it hadn't had a hit in speed, which... Well, you're not wrong. But that's not how it was implemented for Garchomp, was it?
The examples are few, but they do exist. There is evidence to show how good megas can actually be. I understand the poor execution ruins it for you now, but I personally don't see that as a reason to write off the mechanic entirely.
