Has GF accidentally screwed themselves over with mega evolutions?
Think of it this way:
> they actually go through with mega evolutions for all FE pokemon
> hundreds of mega stones in the bag now

Or

> Game Freak drops the megas concept
> only a few pokemon can mega evolve, making it stick out awkwardly

What is the best route to prevent a downfall for the series?

then they make a separate pouch for all megastones, maybe even sorting them by dex number or type.

It's not hard.

You forgot to mention the fact that GF might screw over a mon by giving them a premature mega over a normal evo

If they ever want it to have a regular evo, they can always retcon megas not being only for fully evolved pokemon.

I don't think there will be any new Megamons after Gen 6. The feature will still be there in Gen 7 and beyond, but the megas we get in XY, ORAS and Z/XY2 will be the only ones we'll ever have, forever.

Retcon it so that only Legendaries and pokes with two evolutions already can do so, and focus on giving the rest good evolutions.

Also, make Mega Evolutions activate via a disposable item that can be bought and is fairly cheap and that also let's your mon act during the turn that you use it.

Can't do it, they're fucked. Time to make our own version of pokemon that does what they are unwilling to do.

You know he means they stop making new Megas, right? That's by no means unrealistic.

Replace all of them with a single item? You can only Mega Evolve once per battle anyway.

Try to form an actual argument if you're so sure your right.

I said nothing about balance. If that's what you seek, then a vast majority of pokemon should not exist either.

That's funny, I could say the exact same thing to you.
If you actually think adding Megas is going to be discarded because they did that to unpopular/shitty minigames like Contests or Pokeathlon were you might seriously be retarded.
But, okay, keep thinking they won't milk what has, like it or not, become an overall popular feature.

>Mega Stones turn out to actually be refined normal Evo Stones
>In their natural form, they would work like a Fire Stone but are unstable and have very distinctive radiation traits that affect individual species rather than whole clades
>Once the radiation is purified and concentrated, its potent enough to evolve pokemon that have maxed out their evolution capacity
>However, the radiation requires an energy source as a catalyst; the energy ring.
>It acts as a battery, and when it turns off, the mutation process is reversed, or rather no longer sustained.

Mega Evolution science is then studied by the various professors and their employed trainers until its found that certain stones (only ones that affect any pokemon that isn't a 3rd stager or legendary) can be concentrated by enough energy in new power rings to permanently alter the pokemon by using its potential evolution energy (i.e. Rhydons have enough to be evolved when holding a Protector), exasperating the stone of its radiation and dulling it into a useless gem.

Mega Evolution eventually grows into a fad among "ace" trainers and certain elite, who primarily use it on 3rd stagers, whilst the majority of trainers stick to permanent evolution.

GF will never go in depth like this for its mechanics and retcons

This will probably happen.

>>20536736
Agreed.

>>20536789
The problem is a lot of megas don't get to see use because while they're not bad, they're not good enough to make it your only mega. Shit's going to be unbalanced as hell no matter what you do so might as well just let mons like Ampharos and Houndoom have some fun.
