>>58751504i never found the source myself but i remember seeing someone say there were notes in the teraleak that states gen 6 pokemon shouldn't have megas, that way they can stand on their own as completed designs the way other evolutionary lines stood as complete designs before having a mega added on top
and looking back at swsh gmaxes i honestly can understand that point of view, as now we have shit like drednaw, sandaconda, or ESPECIALLY alcremie that seemed designed around their gmax forms, leaving them in this awkward state without them
>b-but diancie had a me-i don't really have a reason for this
