Not him, but yes.
They've kind of ruined the single battle format by introducing a huge power imbalance.
Take X/Y for example, hang the reason that game was so easy is because you were given MEGA LUCARIO so early on, who is more powerful than most legendary pokemon, without all the hangups of using a legendary pokemon.

As a concept, I think mega evolution is fine. But they did it in a way that just imbalanced the game even more than it already is.
Because of mega evolutions, single battle format is completely dead to me.

since this generation the focus will be on alolan forms, megas would be a bit redundant. I think they should just close that chapter by making megas for all the starters that didn't get them, and maybe for the remaining pseudos too (dragoonite, hydreigon, goodra)

Wouldn't mind a Mega Eelektross that goes full physical RIP AND TEAR, but only if they add a proper physical Electric-type move that isn't limited to Pikachu. Otherwise, a Porygonite stone would be cool - Porygon becomes a bulky physical attacker with Protean (What? Normal was physical in Gen 1), Porygon2 becomes fully defensive with Magic Bounce, and Porygon-Z becomes even more of a special sweeper with Optimize (a combination of Scrappy, Tinted Lens, Normalize, and Adaptability).

what they'll most likely do is post-game you can have ur Z-Ring modified to hold a key stone, and then you can search for mega stones (maybe with about 5 new ones). That way it at least adds to the post game content a little bit without removing any real features

I hope you aren't trying to say that every mega is as broken as Mega Ray. That said the game hasn't been designed around singles since generation 2.

This is just showing how woefully ignorant you are of competitive.

They're not a good substitute for new pokemon. Want to make a shitmon like Tangela less irrelevant? Give it a traditional evolution.
Want to make a shitmon like Mawile less irrelevant? Give it a hold item which GF can choose to (and likely has chosen to) completely ignore until the post game arrives, rendering it pointless unless you battle online. Hell, you might not even be able to find it in the post game.

I wish they didn't choose to do a gigantic lump of cross generation evolutions in Gen IV and piss people off, now they're likely never going to do it again.

I agree with most of that, but I couldn't disagree more on your view that Mew should get a Mega.

Mew is one of the few Gen 1 Pokemon that hasnt been bastardised with some gimmick. Mew is a pure, simple and sacred Pokemon that doesn't need some stupid power-up to suddenly justify it's existence. Along with Arceus, Mew is the original one. One form, one purpose.

Yeah, back in 2002 with RSE when they first transferred the core series to the GBA and weren't that big of a deal. There is no reason that after 20 years they can't bring a heavily marketed feature to the next games. It would be like if they removed abilities for no reason.

I like megas, I believe they bring a good concept to the table by centralizing a team around one powerfull ace, and that allows for interesting builds and a more fun experience overall. That's the concept, however in execution, megas have shown to sometimes break the game or be underpowered notably. That's how I feel anyways, I still want megas to saty, we just need GF to realize how really powerfull they can be, and maybe we could end up with fun stuff. I really want most shitmons to get megas that can make them viable to top tier threats
