Not at all. Imagine the candidates for new Megas.

Dick status will transcend beyond the scale if something like say, Golurk, Ariados or Trevenant received one.

Though with all this pandering going about, the real candidates would probably be a few more Kanto mons

Mega evolutions are proof that Game Freak has no idea what they are doing in terms of balance. Shitmons should be left as shitmons. Not every Pokemon has to be competitively viable. If it is really that vital that a Pokemon needs a buff, they've shown they can give stat boosts.

At least with Z-moves you have literally one attempt at hitting per match and requires you to have both an item and a specific move. Mega Pokemon can sweep an entire team because "oh hey gotta make little timmy's shitty beedrill good!"

Agreed until this point. I'll add that most megas look like ass and completely ruin the aesthetic of the pokemon they are attached to. So, if you want your whatever to be good, you have to give up on the design you loved in the first place.

Megas were stupid all along. Game Freak have shown that they might give slight stat buffs to certain Pokemon that are slightly underperforming. All Flygon needs is to be faster than Garchomp. Literally a 3 point buff would achieve this.

Name one stat buff that actually made a difference.
They even buffed the wrong stats for some pokemon, for example they buffed Nidoking's attack instead of its special attack.

There still can be tweaks for balance, but it did make never thought of Pokes usable.

Not at all, Mega Evolution is a great feature, unlike Z-Moves.

Does it? I gave it a try once and it didn't seem able to tank more than two hits (which was just one turn when both oponents attacked).

I think pokemon with low base HP can't take that much advantage of eviolite. Especially those with no reliable recovery (I know togetic has that though). Dusclops might be an exception but it's still not that good either.

But maybe my sets/builds for them were just bad.
