>>38695896well i guess you have a point that evolutions can't be retconned, and it is true that once a mega's there it kills that particular pokemon's chance at a cross gen evo. i guess i need to think about these things more, but at least i'm not assuming that who i'm replying to is the boogeyman pretending megas are perfect when i said they weren't done right at all because you saw an image from johnjohn's odd travel.
if eviolite didn't kill it then neither did megas considering that now that they're shelved they could just go back to cross gen evos again, hell we even had alola forms that were reminiscent of split evos though they're far from the same thing.
>>38695865 this is probably more likely.
