>>34241602They'll definitely be back, although they may just not be available for some time outside of events/downloads/other in game ways. The story doesn't really fit, but that's what I've said with other legendaries and they just drop them in through wormholes all the time so.
>>34241645I really think we need to have a somewhat hard reset for Pokemon Switch; get rid of Megas and Z Moves and have some sort of in game item that can activate form changes. As the series continues, I mean how many changes are they going to make that they'll basically be required to add for compatibility. We already have a ridiculous amount of Mega Stones and now all these different Z Crystals. Locking a majority of the Mega Stones behind BP was probably a mistake (they ended up giving out half of them anyways) and just doing away with them would be fine. Megas in general could just be retconned as something they only do in other regions or something too, or make one "Mega Stone" item that activates it.
Similarly, Pokemon that need to level up/be in a certain area to evolve should be changed like Feebas was. Leafeon/Glaceon can easily be changed to stone evos, and stuff like Magnezone, Probopass, etc can get some sort of held item to evolve too.
