>>46057919>>46057756>>46057217I swear you faggots did not fucking play XY or ORAS. Or you mashed A and ignored the entire fucking story but then pretend like you know what you're talking about. Why is it so hard for people to accept that ORAS blatantly retconned XY's lore? The games are no subtle about it.
>"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new Evolution. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..."Is the full quote. ORAS takes place BEFORE XY (ORAS has an origin story for Mr. Bonding, along with other details that place it before XY) but mega evolution exists in Hoenn, and it's even used by a celebrity. In XY the first mega evolution was Lucario, in ORAS it was Rayquaza, in XY the cannon is what created the mega stones, in ORAS it was Rayquaza. SwSh will absolutely retcon Dynamaxing into Sinnoh the same was Megas were retconned into ORAS.
Another quote from Sycamore:
>"See. Wonderful! Everyone's all here! So now that we're all here, I'd like to say a few words. Be the best Trainer you can be! At the same time, remember to have fun traveling with your Pokémon! Also, I want to ask for your help in solving the Kalos region's biggest Pokémon mystery: the secret and potential of Mega Evolution, a new kind of Evolution that occurs in battle! That's why I gave you that Mega Stone just now. It's an important clue!"Note in both cases he refers to megas as a NEW evolution as, in XY's story, Mega Evolution was a lost art that had been newly discovered. ORAS presents it as being a well known.
Fairy is also retconned in ORAS as having already existed BEFORE XY. When you meet Sina and Dexio in XY though they tell you
>"Flabébé is--now brace yourself--a Fairy-type Pokémon!">"Fairy type is a Pokémon type that was just classified recently.">"This turned the entire type-matchup system on its head!"
