Sinnoh revisit got Hisuian formes and cross-gen evos so it's not like it didn't get anything. Hell you even got Alphas for your nod to Dynamax. Just pretend Alpha Ursaluna is Gmax Ursaring.

I really hate Gen 7 for starting the trend of shitty one off gimmicks that one exclusively only in those games.

Because Dynamax is the successor of Z-moves, which started shitty one off gimmicks.
Mega Evolutions were actually intended to be a main stay and the next step of the franchise.

Because it was already an asspull for Megas to appear outside of Kalos. The Anistar sundial was responsible for the Mega energy in the land. Eternatus is responsible for Dynamax energy in the land.
Also >>50040955 has a point.

Megas were intended to become a staple of the franchise, but an inability to balance them and the growing threat of Yo-Kai Watch made Gamefreak drop them. They added Z-moves to try to get back some of the kids who switches to Yo-Kai Watch, while ensuring the story actually connected to the gimmick.
I fully believe that Z-moves was the first of the one-gen gimmicks, for Gamefreak saw the need for each game to have a shiny new tactic to retain players.

Assuming that this is a genuine question, it is no more of a Pokémon rip-off than Digimon. It is a series set in modern day Japan (or a very Japanese US in the American games and anime) where a fifth-grader finds a magic watch that lets him see yo-Kai, a grab-bag of ghosts, monsters, and other spirits that mess around with people. The kid then befriends yo-kai after fighting or appeasing them from then on.
I never played the game, but the anime was hilarious with how well-written its core characters were.
Also, the series is dead in the West, and it went from a cultural phenomenon to almost-dead in Japan.

Reminder that Megas being in other places is already canonically fucked, given Sycamore literally states that they've only been observed in Kalos in XY and their lore is EXPLICITLY tied to the region.
Pay no mind to the schizos who act like it wouldn't be trivial as fuck to just put Z-Moves and Dynamax wherever with minimal justifications.

I’d say Gen 6 started it; even though Megas were in Gen 7, they were more an afterthought than anything, with no new Megas and Z-Moves taking the forefront

Then why make them appear in Hoenn too and do an entire Delta episode about how different the Mega-Evolution dimension is from the normal.

Kanto got gigas because King KANTO always eats first and CHARIZARD always gets first choice and seconds before anyone else got the
Galar got them because they’re the shiny new starters so they get the shiny new gimmick
Regardless Sinnoh’s staters don’t really need anything, they’re all usable and get respectable amounts of shilling. The only starters that Game Freak actively hate are the Johto starters and maybe the Kalos starters

In XY, in ORAS, in SM, in USM, in LGPE, and in numerous spin-offs. The same can't be said for one-off gimmicks like Z-moves or Dynamax, which are exclusively in the games they debut in.

Not entirely? Pokemon Origins Red had his Mega Stones sent over from Kalos as a gift. Same with the player in SM, you get a Key Stone from XY characters (Dexio, Sina). That's an easy way to justify other characters having them.

ORAS overcomplicated shit with the multiverse plot.

What still gets me is how none of the Kalos starters have Mega Evolutions, and how it took DLC to give the Galar starters their Gigantamaxes, while the Kanto starters got those forms from the start. It's so incredibly stupid.

Literally where did you get this from? Mega stones have two canon sources:

>energy from asteroids

Good fucking god. There is no "Mega Timeline" or whatever it is you autists call it.
Pokemon is a multiverse. Some universes have megas, others don't.
