>>28642088that sounds cool, but I'd still make it "removable" in a sense that you can go back to dicking around with your regular non-mega 'mons if you take off the item. Like they'll stay permanently mega-evolved as long as they have the item, but you can de-volve them at any time.
Also, like Mega Fug, if they're going to evolve permanently, I think they should have a move that takes up the move slot to show that they're unique to their species in being able to mega evolve with their trainer. Z-moves seem like a useless gimmick that should've just been mega moves. Would still keep the poses and animations though.
I'd still keep the limit of 1 mega per team in competitive though.
