>>29611924Yeah, it has been. That was the point of the whole AZ thing, and the delta episode makes explicit reference to this alternative universe where they may not have mega evolution.
Oddly though... That's not what gf uses as the explanation for fairies in game. If you visit that village with the fairy type gym leader, a npc makes it pretty clear that fairy types were just recently discovered and that it's shaking up all the typings. Which makes no sense when you have this perfect alt timeline explanation right in front of you, but whatever gf.
