>>58370231Excluding whatever's coming with legends, which I don't care to follow, the only cross-gen megas are Scizor, Steelix, and Gallade.
Gen 2 is essentially a gen 1 expansion pass, and especially for the pokemon, comprised primarily of content that was intended for gen 1, but got cut due to size/time limits and incompetence.
As such, anything pandering to gen 2, is innately bound to gen 1. Sure, Scizor content isn't as pandering to gen 1 as Scyther content would be, but you're not getting Scizor without Scyther unless it's some spinoff vacuum like Pokken Tournament.
Because of this, it's going to be a bit of pandering to both gens, in this case gens 1 and 2.
We can also use mega Gallade to showcase this, since that's the only non gen 2 cross-gen mega evo, and Gallade replaced Wally's ace of Gardevoir in ORAS. Gallade is a gen 4 pokemon, so doing something with it in gen 6 is a little bit of gen 4 pandering. However, it's a remake of a gen 3 game, which is the pinnacle of pandering, but it's also replacing the slot on his team of a gen 3 pokemon with a gen 4 pokemon, which futher panders to gen 4, yet the whole point of doing that is to better promote and accentuate a gen 3 character, which is obviously gen 3 pandering.
We clearly reach the same conclusion of it pandering to both gens to varying extents, as opposed to wholly one or the other.
