>>48843593SM taking a look at how well received Mega Evolutions were and instead of thinking “hey, let’s build on this and add some more” they made a different, lamer version that now literally anything can use.
Instead of Mega Evolution being a cool recurring feature that added to the game and was able to bring old favorites and shitmon alike back into relevancy, SM instead made it a trend that every new gen has to have some new gimmicky battle add on that doesn’t persist into the future games.
