>>32808289I think Megas may be something they reserve for third versions/sequels/remakes. It's a golden opportunity for these, as it gives Gamefreak a chance to introduce "new Pokemon" that aren't really new. It's a good way to build hype for people who may not otherwise get excited.
I haven't played SM since release, but I didn't remember getting those vibes from Sina/Dexio, so I looked up what was said through conversation. It was something to the effect of "weird to be talking about Mega Evolution so far from Kalos," which isn't conclusive enough for me. Not that I believe there WILL be new Megas in USUM, but I think all that would be needed is an extra line to the effect of "it's so weird to be seeing Mega Evolution so far from Kalos," if Kalos would even need to be brought up at all.
>>32808307They probably didn't introduce new Megas because they didn't want to overshadow both regional variants and Z-Moves. That's why USUM COULD potentially introduce new Megas, as it will be the second set of games to feature these new features.
