>>56841086Megas were a great concept that went to too many Pokemon that didn't need them and massively exacerbated power creep when it went to something like Rayquaza or Blaziken (oh hey Speed Boost Blaziken is already an Uber, lets give it 100 more BST haha :D)
Z-Moves were an interesting idea but when a mechanic is given to every single Pokemon it's only natural that Pokemon that are already stupidly fucking good are going to be the ones to abuse it (fucking Z-Geomancy).
GF weren't smoking anything, they just don't know how to balance games for shit despite claiming to keep game balance in mind. If they did, they probably wouldn't keep bringing back Lando-T and Incineroar to continually overcentralize every single meta around themselves.
