So they were apparently give regionals instead of megas because the originals were so unmarketable and hated by fans to such a degree that Game Freak had to replace them. Is there ANY poll that proves that the fans hated the originals, or that the regional forms are significantly more popular?
If not then it was pretty stupid of Game Freak to not get megas or any actual buff.
Also if the hisuian forms are apparent so much better, why the fuck hasn't TPC been using them for anything.
