>>50694711I love how people always bring up Salamence and Metagross like Metagross saw VGC use before the Mega. Even after the Mega it doesn't see that much use.
>But muh pseudo stats thoNot an argument if the Pokemon isn't usable anyways. The only metrics Game Freak would have to gauge if a Pokemon needed a Mega is if they were seeing use in official formats.
Another one I love is that anyone could have predicted the retardation of allowing high end legendaries in 2016 which invalidated the "it's just for the story/let little kids have their nukes" of Legendary Megas/Primals arguments which at the time made perfect sense.
