>>55604851when you say shit like "Megas were a fun concept that could be used for nostalgia bait", then you are part of the porblem. this sends the message to gamefreak that nostalgia bait and kanto pandering is okay, which is something that is rampant in the 3D era but especially gen 6 and 7
>Game Freak wasn’t lazy long before Gen 6only yawnfag genuinely thinks that. the 2d games were the most feature packed games in the series with the best pokemon designs. the 3D era never had any gens like gen 1, 3 and 5 in terms of pokemon designs, which were gens that never had to rely on older designs to make new ones with the exception of wynaut and azurill
scizor and froslass make more changes to their pre evolution than any mega evolution does to their original mon
>That’s simply good world building.maybe if they didn't literally shit out 30+ forms each gen it wouldn't be so egregious. again, the 2D era had a nice pattern of how mon designs worked
>1: 151 new designs>2: 100 new designs with about a quarter being evolutions of old mons>3: similar to 1>4: similar to 2>5:similar to 3 and 1this pattern is entirely gone from the 3D era. at the bare minimum, gen 7 and 9 should have been gens with about 130-150 new mons with only one or two at most being variants of old mons. it just makes it seem like gamefreak is relying too much on nostalgia pandering and that isn;t a good thing
