>>35624864Why? Mega Evolution actually ended up being a massive boon to some of those Pokemon. Before Megas you had no reason EVER to use mons like Pidgeot, Mawile, Kangaskhan, or Pinsir. Those pokemon were eternally shit no matter what you did to them. Now a Beedrill can be a threatening sweeper just because his damage potential is sky high. Yes fucking Beedrill of all things can sweep.
The only problem with Mega Evolutions is that they gave them to Pokemon that didn't need them. Mewtwo is already Ubers. He did not need a Mega. He definitely didn't need 2. Houndoom definitely needed a Mega but Solar Power is a shit ability and while the ability to wallbreak with it is nice, it's not enough to justify giving up your one Mega slot. Especially when Mega YZard exists. And good God in heaven I hate everything about the Primals. Well I guess narratively they're okay but then
>Pokemon>narrativeAll in all it was a nice idea to shake up the Pokemon formula. Especially in a game about prediction Mega evolutions can e a looming threat that can still be prepared for. Is that guy packing a Mega Gyarados or is he baiting me with a Moxie Choice Banded regular Gyarados. The mind games are there. Which is more than I can say for Z-moves which can come from anywhere and can't be planned around at all.
