Should they have made Mega Dragonair, Mega Pupitar, Mega Larvitar, Mega Flaaffy, Mega Mareep and Mega Haunter, instead, but they were just too lazy to come up with good justifiable lore reasons that don't break the established rule of "Mega Evolution is for Pokemon who have achieved their highest evolutionary potential, allowing them to go one step even farther at the cost of their stability and wellbeing, something only a powerful bond with a trainer can counterbalance?"
Because if your answer is "no", then yes, Mega Raichu was necessary, because GameFreak could NOT come up with a good excuse that maintains the established rule of Mega Evolution as a concept.
