>>27524209But theyre not. Alolan Vulpix isnt a branch from a regular Vulpix, its more like how Trash Cloak Wormadam and Sandy Cloak Wormadam are different.
Mega Evolution is more like how Gyarados isnt a Magikarp, only theyre temporary so they dont occupy a new slot. If you'd rather, theyre more similar to how Rotom or Giratina have an alternate form; one has to hold an item to do so, the other actually gets a boosted BST out of it.
Plus if Megas are removed, then so will Dragon Ascent.
And a multitude of items.
And beedrill will no longer have any use.
And many battle strategies will die.
>>27524208They dont need to introduce any more. But you literally cannot remove them. As other anons pointed out, it's not like Gen 5 removed the fact that trading a haunter to someone evolves it into Gengar.
Or changed how Eevee evolves.
Megas are not a fucking mechanic, I cannot understand how people think they are. Theyre literally just form changes and evolutions merged together.
