>>48146304>It could have been great if they had done it like garchomp it just introduced a new playstyle for it without just changing the base pokemon's stats.Honestly, it would have done best had they just restricted what types of Pokémon could get one and capped the max BST that a Mega could have at 600. Restricting it to Starters and/or non-Legendary/non-Mythical Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line would have done wonders in making people appreciate their Starters and Pokémon that do not evolve on top of leveling expectations on what should receive a Mega and keeping the list of what could receive a Mega manageable. Playstyle options could have probably happened if they could stop shilling Charizard and give the other Starters both X and Y Megas.
Sure, with something like this, we wouldn't get Mega Beedrill, but it would keep things reasonable for production.
