>>48887123>this is another good idea that GF is retarded for ditchingAnd it's much better than mega evos because you don't need a shitty gay ass bracelet to "unlock" the Pokémon and it's a natural cohesive evolution. We somewhat got it back in the form of regional evos, and while execution could certainly be better it's still more acceptable than megas to me.
>because that doesnt sell extra merchandise, you said it yourself.And that mentality itself is the issue. It was exactly what made GF shit out megas, z moves, dynamax etc.
>zard wouldve only ever gotten one extra mega, if at all. not even GF would be retarded enough to keep pumping out megas for the same pokemon every other gen. They could do literally anything they want. It's not like they really give thought into what Pokémon gets X and what Pokémon gets y. They decide it based on what sells and they could just randomly asspull lore to justify giving Charizard two new forms.
>leaving room for the pokemon who need buffs afterwardsThat's almost all of the Pokémon ever created. GF haven't even been able to add all the existing Pokémon in one game since the last 2 years, you think they'd give a mega evolution to every shitmon that deserves it (which is like 500-600 Pokémon probably)? It'd be way too complicated and just giving the Pokémon buffs would be better in every way
