>>54693865>almost all megas make the original mons obseleteNo?
For starters the few that were obsolete were abysmal to begin with.
Second, this is pokemon, there's almost always something else aside from battling where you can use the base mon, I don't want to do a contest, or picnic with a shitty Dusknoir, I want the pokemon that doesn't look like your diabetic mother with a bucket on her head.
>but mega evolutions all have shitty designs and i don't want to be forced to use a shit design in order to get the buffsSo then you should prefer megas, they're temporary design changes that don't force you to lock into a shitty design unlike actual evolutions and in game you can just choose to not use them too.
>but not every mon that got a mega needed oneThere are only a handful of pokemon that didn't need a mega but they were also popularity picks, the majority of them went to mon that were near useless to begin with
Mawile
Banette
Manectric
Charizard
Blastoise
Audino
Beedrill
Pidgeot
Kangaskhan
Abomasnow
Aggron
Pinsir
Houndoom
Absol
That's just off the top of my head. Popularity picks are fine as long as they aren't the majority.
>but not psuedo legendaries like Garchomp, Salamence, Tyranitar, and MetagrossThe problem with your logic is that only one of these was too good and that was Salamence and it wasn't even because of the BST buffs but rather because the -ate abilities in and of themselves were broken, if it's hidden ability and mega abilities were swapped no one would use mega Salamence.
>Dusknoir is kino Oh so you just have a bias for gen 4 then, the gen with cross gen evos so bad it killed them for almost 20 years.
>who the fuck WON'T have Bedrill holding the Beedrillite for example? You know knock off doesn't do additional damage if the item can't be removed, right?
