>>13662108I doubt Torchic was singled out.
It's probably more like he was shown first to go "Yes, even starters are not off-limits for Mega Evolution. Expect it."
You're probably spot on about the fucking event shit. I have a feeling that outside of the Kanto starters and Torchic, Gamefreak is going to be tight fisted about distributing Mega Stones for the rest of the starters. Expect this shit to be parceled out over the next 2-3 years.
