>>31494906This is the reason I prefer Megas over cross gen evolutions. I mean Gallade and Froslass are great since they are split and don't undermine Glalie and Gardevoir existence.
But shit like Rhyperior Tangrowth and Weavile made their base forms obsolete in usage and only a stage that is barely exploited ingame die to GF terrible handling of their evolution items or requirements.
Don't get me wrong, CB Rhyperior, AV tangrowth and CB Weavile where amazing in OU last gen, especially Weavile at fucking pseudo stall and Rhyperior at fucking Clefable TWaves, but when compared to how the Mega Pokémon makes you carry the base form in your team and even worry if it can switch in on a target (BST change, Ability change or even type change) plays the strengths and weaknesses of the base Pokémon without fucking with the original design.
Megas don't destroy the original design, they give you a choice to make use of the mega and that's why they are better than crossgen evolutions at least execution wise.
