>>58180317I mean, do I WANT them to? Yeah sure. Megas are the most fun gimmick meta of the 4 we've had so far.
WILL they though? Fuck no. It's clear GF want every new main series game to have some special unique mechanic. Pokemon Champions is clearly gonna be the "containment game" for whatever isn't being done in the newer games, be it turned based battles or a particular gimmick.
They haven't brought back any other cool neat features from previous games no matter how cool they'd be so I see no reason why Game Freak would start being sensible this late in the game and actually retain megas as opposed to ditch them at the first possible moment in favor of something new.

> They tried to branch out, try new gimmicks, it didn't work, so now they're going back to the tried-and-true.This is demonstrably false, the only reason megas are back is because ZA is set in Kalos, you can't have Kalos games without megas in the same way you couldn't set PLA in Hisui without the Sinnoh legends and mythicals.
That'd be like saying in the eventual Alola Legends game that Z-moves being brought back for that must mean that Z-moves will be in Generation 12 or whatever Gen that'd be done in. Megas are basically Kalos' whole identity, you kinda HAVE to bring Megas back at that point.
