>>27562135I cant believe people actually think they'll get rid of Mega's. Like, fuck, that would actually be legitimately detrimental to do that.
Z-Moves don't interfere with mega's as a mechanic. They function similarly, but act as a choice. Besides, there's a good chance the underside of the bracelet has a slot for the keystone.
As for alolan forms, well it's likely because they cant just answer every need for a buff with "give it a Mega". Mega's are limited on your team, so they saturate quick. Not to mention, Alolan forms dont require a drastic design change like Mega's do.. a simple "-insert element here-ify"ing of them will do just fine. This solves issues like with Flygon where they might run into an art block. Can't think of a way to drastically add to the design? Just shift it to another element, easy.
We might not get MORE Mega's, but there's no fucking way theyre getting rid of them.
