>>38800592I disagree that Megas are "half-baked". They were designed with a specific purpose in mind; to give certain Pokemon a new coat of paint and give them more options instead of cluttering the roster with new Pokemon to fill niches and perpetually powercreep Mons from older gens.
I'll agree that it's somewhat gimmicky, as they make a big deal out of it, but I find that less offensive than Z-Moves and Dynamax.
Abilities can be gimmicky also, as seen in Sun and Moon where most new Pokemon there were given signature abilities with varying degrees of convolution and gimmickry.
With that said, I would also like to see more substantial changes to the battle format. What fundamental mechanics like held items and abilities would you like to see added instead?
