>Gen VI introduced 120 New Pokémon between two sets of games (100+20).

>Gen VII introduced 104 New Pokémon.

While not padding the national dex, Mega Evolutions and Regional Variants are new designs and new concepts, they still count as “New” Pokémon.

I agree. Dexfags will complain wth "b-but muh dex numbers" but realistically what percentage of Unova or Kanto mons actually got used on a regular playthrough? In ORAS everybody used Megas.

And I count Alola forms as new Pokémon too; they're essentially independent lines in most cases, and split evos in others. They play totally differently from their shitty regular forms.

We need more Megas and Region forms.

It's like how a lot of Gen 4's pokedex is just cross gen evolutions. To count those, but not mega evolutions because Megas don't last outside of battle and can be given to third stage pokemon just sounds hypocritical to me.

Not to mention in DP you couldn't even get most of those cross gen evos until the postgame, rendering them non-options.

For me, it's because they ARE just that -- temporary forms. They don't take up national dex space and they don't have new names, just "Mega" added onto the base form. The cross gen true evos are permanent.

Megas are more akin to shit like Shaymin Sky Forme.

>This

I’m tired of Pokémon dropping good concepts. I want more Megas, I want more Regional Variants, I want more cross-gen evolutions & useless, adorable dex filling baby Pokémon

-Mega Mawile should’ve been a true evo, not a mega

Difference being Megas were introduced in separate generations than their original forms. The developers separately created them years later (with the exception of Diancie). Taking away time and resources from what could’ve been actual new Pokémon.

I think Regional Variants are more interesting and count more as new content than Megas.
I can put 1, 2, or maybe even 6 of them on my team, plus every single one has a different typing, movepool and playstyle compared to the original.
Megas i can only have one per team, a lot of them only feel like a temporary buff, and most pretty much break in-game balance.

I wouldn't mind a few more Megas, but it isn't something i care too much. Regional Variants, on the other hand, is one of my most desired features to make a comeback in future generations.

Filling the dex is a big part of the game and regional forms and megas adds nothing to that.
