>>50772099>what is it about this gimmick that makes it attractive?There are a lot of things good with it (and some things bad)
All these megas could have just as easily been straight up evolutions, and I think a 4th line in an evolution would have been long overdue.
Of course, because it's a cool concept, faggots like
>>50772140 exist trying to find any and all reasons to make it sound bad.
I fail to see how it's a worse gimmick than Dynamax/Gigantimax, with its super artificial stats (x2 health MAX) and triple Z-Move usage. Saying that it lets other pokemon thrive by giving them a chance to succeed is just overblown mental gymnastics to justify bringing your Eevee or Pikachu into comp when they functionally are dead weight when a Dynamax Raichu does the job BETTER.
This whole "Hurrr durrr Megas bad" is entirely derived from gen 8 apologists and dick suckers, and I'm tired of pretending they aren't.
