HOW TO FIX MEGA EVOLUTIONS SO THEY'RE FAIR AND BALANCED FOR BOTH INGAME AND COMP
mega evolution now drains the energy of the rest of the party, rendering them unable to fight
so you get a single overpowered pokemon, but you can't switch anymore and you lose by default if your mega gets KO'd

Why do yo care? They’re back in a legends game, a game without any online battling. If anything, I wish GF make them MORE broken and unbalanced to offer the player a real challenge and/or power fantasy. Pretty much what they did with legend plate arceus in pla

For me the best gimmick is Mega Evolution, but the main problem with Megas is that only some Pokemons have them, they could add a generic stone that when you equip any pokemon it gets the appearance of an aura around it equal to the Totems and a +20 increase in each stat minus HP, adding up to +100. Like Dynamax that any Pokemon can use, while Mega with appearance changes and other specific modifications (types, abilities and which stat increase specifically) would be the special version like Gigantamax.

Another problem with Mega is that all Pokemon get +100, including the strongest and the weakest, a way to balance this out would be if Pokemon with 400-500 base stat total got a 150/200 boost, and those with less than 400 have an even greater increase.

The key to balance already exists but they won't use it.

Every team could have a Mega, a Z-move and a Terastal. One of each. Then, some kind of limit on legendary Pokémon; say one per team. Yeah, Arceus is on the same level as Moltres, whatever. It's one.

At the moment there really isn't any specific reason why teams consist of six Pokémon. Giving as many of them possible as wide a range of possible setups is the best option; Z-moves are a good counter to Megas; Megas are a good counter to Pokémon with jacked up stats like most legendaries.
Megas themselves aren't unbalanced; everything else in the game is.

Can we please not do multiple gimmicks? Literally the only good part about terastral and dynamax was that nothing else existed, this goofy ass piled on gimmicks shit is horrible. At least with Megas sorta fit into the game a little less disruptively, as you could predict them at team preview and could basically just treat them like every team having 1 legendary.

That really wouldn't change anything for competitive. On showdown it's as easy as typing in 255 in a box, and in game it just takes feeding a bunch of the EV reducing berries, or just hacking in a max friendship pokemon.

There doesn't need to be any change made for competitive.

Considering that megas are universally despised by compbros and consistently ranked the worst gimmick?
You're objectively wrong

And certain items are so necessary that giving one up for a mega is a big decision.

Being like OP is even worse than being a faggot.
