Also "real" evolutions leads to shit like Rhyperior. Megas merely expand on the design that people already love instead of completely changing it, and are temporary and optional. And they're way stronger than a conventional evolution would be. Why do they "deserve" a worse alternative?
Again, nice deflection.
>>27650871Wrong. Sharpedo completely changes its shape, implements a submarine/battleship theme with its shape, torpedo bay teeth and periscope stripes, on top of a sawtooth/tigershark motif. And of course it looks more powerful.
>>27650961Conkeldurr is unfavored because it looks like dogshit. Meanwhile nobody is arguing that Braviary looks worse than Pidgeot. Newness is not the main factor.
Whether you like Manectric or not, the design has more work put into it. That's the point.
