Anyone else hoping for more Mega Evolutions in Sword and Shield?

I feel most of the designs were pretty good compared to regional variants.

I hope Megas are abandoned and shelved. Region variants were a much more interesting addition. There's like 3 Megas I like: Venusaur, Mawile, Kangaskhan.

This is now a rate each others favorite megas thread.

I want either regional variants or megas to come back as a standard feature for the main games. Preferably regional variants as I feel they make more sense in the Pokemon universe.

>>37827284
Also Mega-Beedrill is my favourite. It's a cool design and gave good stats to a pokemon that rarely gets to see any lategame action due to it being so bad, fite me.

Obvious mons I want Megas for that should get them:

Dragonite, Flygon, Hydreigon, Milotic, Rapidash, the 2nd Gen Starters, Slowking, Butterfree, Fearow, Noctowl, uh shoot not sure what else. Plusle and Minun for lulls? OH! Raichu for fucking sure, Make OG Raichu Electric/Fighting with Gorochu's design and one for the other with easier access to Surf. Crobat be dope too

And the thing is they should bring back Regional Variants and Mega-Evolutions. Z-Moves felt like a lazy out so GF didn't have to make more (well-designed) megas and have more of the competitive players whine cause Megas centralized the format D:.

When in reality GF just needed to nerf a few like they did and/or outright ban them and oh look everything's fine now.

Only cause there's so many cool mons that have gotten tossed to the wayside that could get Megas to make them stand out again. Great examples being Flygon and Milotic. Some though I think need straight up buffs first like Ninetails, evolutions like Jynx and Mr. Mime, and honestly others like Pseudos shouldn't have gotten such broken ones as Salamence did.

I am. I know Megas are flawed competitively and the designs are very hit-or-miss for a lot of people, but I've always liked Megas conceptually. The whole idea of Pokemon momentarily going beyond their limits in the form of temporary battle transformations sounds cool, and I like giving Megas to your signature favorites(if they have one), and using any one as the "ace" on your team.
So yeah, I really hope Megas return. Correct me if it was a mistranslation, but Ohmori did say on a recent Pokenchi episode that one of the major themes in Sword/Shield will be "the strongest Pokemon". This most likely means bringing out the max strength/potential in Pokemon, which is a theme Mega evolution encompasses. There's also the rampant theories that Galar is the region that Kalos went to war with 3,000 years ago. It would completely make sense to have new Megas in Galar, due to the major theme of the region Ohmori revealed, and it being linked to Kalos(which are only theories for now, but hopefully end up being true)

I’m someone that loves Gen 3 and I’m even surprised Johnto got skipped over with mega’s

Like to me, Johnto has the blandest starters (even if I love the Cyndyquil line) so if anyone needed mega, It was these chaps. Meganiun would actually be impressive looking and they could make Feraligator not look like some Gangly drug addict. Maybe they just don’t know what to do with them compared to Swoling up Swampert or giving charizard 2 fucking mega evolutions because Genwunners that need to die.

Either way, I’ll die happy if they one day give Pangoro a mega evolution and make him less shit type wise.

I just really want every gen's starters to eventually get megas. Doesn't have to be when the gen originally comes out, of course, since I don't think lines should be designed with a mega in mind. But, even if only in the remakes, they should eventually get megas. Because every starter is someone's favorite.

I think they'll alternate between megas, regional variants and the inevitable new gimmick gen 8 introduces (armor or whatever).

Like, S/S will have more megas but no variants, then the gen 9 region will have variants but no megas or armor, etc.

Exclusive Z-moves are probably dead, though. They just weren't that popular. As for UBs, I hope they become like fossils and we get a couple new ones every gen, but I fear they were gen 7-only as well.

What’s gonna be sad is that they probably don’t introduce Megas for whatever reason. Like not enough popularity in Japan or no new good ideas or any host of excuses. And I say excuse because you have Britain right next to France with a long rich history of wars and trade and cultural exchanges between them that would merit having Megas for PokeBritain. Also lore wise it could explain explain wtf Stonehenge is. Maybe it’s a burial ground for seriously powerful Pokémon whose infinite energy (or whatever the term was) gave rise to new Megas. Examples being like Gen 2 Starters, Dragonire, Hydreigon, Clefable, Golem etc.

Plus the theme is strongest Pokémon. While the idea of armor stuff is cool it be stupid to basically do Megas by another name unless it’s better balanced and they just wipe the board of Megas so no one has them available. Yes Mewtwo etc will still have had them but doubt people be happy if they’re just thrown in endgame wise or put behind a bunch of online WiFi tournaments again. Cause again people will have one favorite with it another related one without.

Nearly every mon that has one a mega is either extremely popular or Audino

It’s hard to argue that Tyranitar, Salamance, Garchomp and a few others truly needed a mega evolution. They’re either worse than the base form which is basically a failure of a mega or takes an already strong Pokémon and makes them absolutete cancer cranked to 11.

So, where did the idea that Gamefreak likely abandoned Megas for good came from? They just gave it an entire Generation's break, and IIRC said they would be willing to focus on the feature again if it could be made relevant from a story/narrative pov. You have all these theories that say Galar is close to Kalos and was the region it went to war with 3,000 years ago, and you have Ohmori saying in a recent Pokenchi that a majorntheme for Sword/Shield will be "the strongest Pokemon". If there was ever a good time to make new Megas, now would be it.

But why the fuck couldn't this just be a standard evolution equivalent to Seadra > Kingdra? Or an alternate evolution branch like Poliwhirl > Politoed? Why has GF stopped doing this? Mega's are trash for one obvious reason: they're temporary and limited to one per battle. Ultimately it's worthless to give someone like Dunsparce a mega when legendaries/pseudo's/favorites like Charizard/Salamence/Mewtwo have megas, because it's too much of a handicap to dedicate your ONE mega slot on your team to a shitmon. I say GF should reboot the timeline, tone down all mega designs, make them standard evolutions, and then make more standard evolutions and alternate evolution branch pathways for old Pokemon. Mega's and Z moves were just a lazy HYPU TRAINU bandwagon to compete with Yokai Watch. When did Yokai Watch debut? 2013. Pokemon XY? 2013. Fuck that shit

I like mega medicham and beedrill. But yeah megas were a mistake.

I hope for gen 8 they add evos for old pokemon like they did in gen 4 :)
Think about it... gen 4 added a bunch of evos for gen 1-2 pokemon, gen 8 should have a bunch of evos for gen 5-6 pokemon

I don’t. It’s too bloated and unbalanced at this point, there are about 50 Megas but only about 6-7 are used competitively. Doesn’t help that Megas basically have to compete with each other for a team slot.

I like the idea of Megas. Most have decent designs too.
Regional variants were a fine idea. I'd have to look at the list of them but it felt like a few too many ice and dark types.

I liked half of them. Ones like Ampharos or Blaziken improved the initial design, but others were just weird.
M Salamance for example. He has a shell he pulls his feet into and just one big wing that is a kite?
And the big cannon on Blastoise. Nah.

I'll take new megas if they don't look like ass, because I really like the concept.

How much did it help Kommo-o? I remember there being a lot of outcry for it to learn Shell Smash because it could use it in Battle Tree, and then it got this Z-move, which was basically it's own personal Shell Smash.

This. Not only is the concept much better, they also work more like actual new Pokémon than Megas.
If i want to build a team with 2, 3, or even a full team of regional variants, i can. Megas are always limited to 1, and are battle-only.

I feel like the best way gamefreak can handle megas and regional forms is having one in the new games and the other in remakes. Preferable megas in newer games as quick buffs to shitmons and regional forms to balance type distribution(i.e fire type teddiursa line in sinnoh). We should still get like 15~ crossgens per gen

The problem with regional variants is their limited availability in the wild.
Unlike every other nonlegendary pokémon, it doesn't make sense for alolan forms to exist anywhere outside Alola, so in other regions each one of them has to either be received through trades or maybe put in special places like Safari Zones.
With megas you don't have that problem, since you can just have one NPC who sells all mega stones.

You’re tripping. Mega menace is awesome and looks cooler than the regular one in a way that I just can’t put my finger on. Charizard x is the same. Most of the megan are cool except for the ones you can tell were just slapped together like aerodactyl, beedrill, heracross, and a few others. Most of the megan look really cool, and they might as well keep going since they started them already. Z moves on the other hand can die. It’s just dumb.

Yeah unlike Megas, they don't really need to do anything more with Z-moves. They've fulfilled their role perfectly as an item that can either turn an attacking move into a super nuke or amplify the effects of a status changing move.
