>>39354808>Oh good, you're finally realising that Megas were an unnecessary Yes.
>and shitty gimmi-No.
Liking them or not is up to you, anon. I can see the line of thinking, though :
>Things would have probably gone better if megas did not exist to begin with so that Game Freak wouldn't feel the need to retcon them to sell their new shitty gimmick, undoing the buffs that were done to shitmons while we're at it. If that's the idea, i can understand it. Though, really, did they need to retcon megas? Not at all. In a way, they shot themselves in the foot by removing megas. If they plan to balance the regional dex around popular mons (megas included), they just have to bring the checks to the most centralizing popular mons and add new ones in the regional dex to make sure said centralizing popular mons never cross the "broken" line. (with some buffs and nerfs just to be certain everything says balanced)
The reality? "Please understand, the region is cold, that's why unpopular mons aren't there, and oh look! We'll add the overly centralizing gigantamax with broken moves like a nuke + full party heal to make sure multiplayer is even more cancerous than before."
