>>53194882Yeah, zoomers don't seem to understand it. You gotta realize, back in the Red and Blue days rumors were everywhere. They told stories of the "Mist Stones" which let you evolve certain Pokemon an additional stage- Mewtwo to Mewthree, Charizard to Charcoal, Blastoise to Rainer, so on and so forth. These so called "PokeGods" were the subject of much speculation.
Now as I understand it this kind of rumor mill was dead by gen 4, and that's when the average /vp/ poster- or at least the /vp/ poster with a lot of time on their hands- got into the series. But for those of us who were here from the start, Megas are essentially a realization of an ancient prophecy we had all but forgotten. It's a level of kino that I hope you'll be able to understand at some point in your life.
