>>58537415>>58537415I have no dog in this fight. My respect for Game Freak and Pokemon fandom is in the shitter and I no longer care about the main series or the battle to the point where I don't even play showdown anymore.
that being said, while I hate Pokemon fans on principle, and Pyroar is a nothing pokemon for me due to being one of the blandest fire types ever, (though admittedly consider some my own favs i'm throwing stone from a glass house with the bland fire type comment). I have no reason to want the single digit of Pyroar fans in particular to suffer, ad hey maybe ifs its mega was cool it would warm me up to Pyroar.
I say this because I had less than no expectations, I actively had negative expectations and I'm still disappointed.
What could they have possibly been thinking with that sorry excuse for a stat spread. It can't even be thematic because Glalie as all its stat the same since its round but its Mega is allowed to have specialization.
>only one design for a Pokemon with sexual dimorphismthat gets me even more than the laughable stat spread, ignoring the nothing design it got, why to the genders have the same design, the entire point of mega is to exaggerate the core concept of the pokemon and the gender dimorphism was one of the only interesting things about Pyroar and the mega just throws it away
>t's amazing just how badly they fucked with a lot of Megas in this gameit honestly feels like ZA megas were made to be shit on purpose, but then I remember that while Game Freak love being lazy, and love spitefully trolling their fans, Game Freak's biggest sin has always been incompetence rater than outright sloth or malice.
>Earth PowerI REALLY hate the pile on, but there's a chance Pyroar might not even get to keep that. It could have only gotten it in PLZA because of battles working differently. Iirc many Pokemon in PLA got moves but lost them in SV.
