Not so fun fact about Mega Kangaskhan: some of its pokedex entries say the mother's actually really concerned about her child growing up so suddenly and being so eager to fight alongside her. Great mom, terrible trainer.
Now I feel bad for always having a mega kangaskhan on my team
All Mega Pokedex entries appeared in Sun and Moon where they were pushing the Z-move mechanic.
Great now I'm sad 😭😭😭
@@azulesmalls5514its pretty obvious that alolan trainers didnt have enough of a bond with there mons and this was the result painful megas
@@vernessawashington9007 never understood the bond thing, you can literally Mega Evolve a mon u caught a second ago, where's the bond in that?
Not exactly on topic, but Mega Absol should have been a Dark/Fairy type.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
You’re spitting.
I agree. Until recently I thought it already was.
Is... is it not already?
@@hilow97 Nope, Mega Absol has always been a pure Dark type.
Matpat: feature his kid in his theories
Patterz: rip, he didnt die, he has a kid now or something
Uh?!
"He has a kid now or something"
Yeah... 6 years ago
Rip means retire in peace
Yes, inner focus is also immune to intimidate along with being immune to flinching. This makes inner focus a surprisingly versatile ability in VGC, being immune to fake out and not getting attack lowered from Pokémon like Inceneroar or Salamence makes it a top 10 or even top 5 ability when not including exclusive abilities, as you don’t often run direct stat lowering moves in vgc. The most you get is will-o-wisp or something, especially since scald is now much more limited.
That’s why entei is being used again. A fairly bulky and fairly fast physically strong fire type ( so immune to burn) that can’t be flinched and intimidate doesn’t work on it, meaning you aren’t ever lowering its attack except with like parting shot? It’s pretty good
One thing that sucks about megas is they gave it to Pokémon who don’t evolve or only evolve once, because in this generation (gen 9) they did finally begin to give older Pokémon permanent evolutions again like Kingambit, Dudunsparce, Annihilape, etc. I would’ve much rather they gave Mawile its Mega design as a permanent evolution than a temporary one.
So true my man hope they finally give the single stage or 2 stage pokemon evo someday hope and wish within my heart for it☹️
Nah, they can still do that, I mean look at G-Max Duralodon, he got a Gigantamax form and an evolution in the next generation
@@SummerTokyoNeko Yes, but they established not fully evolved Pokémon can get G-Max forms. The preorder bonus was even a G-Max Meowth. Not to mention that Megas have been the only gimmick so far to not be confined to one generation like Z-Moves, G-Max, and probably Tera. They were in Gen 7 (prominently in Let’s Go), They’re in Pokémon Go, Pokémon Spin-offs like Mystery Dungeon, Smash Bros, etc. and they’re returning in PLZ-A (a Gen 9 game)
"Why wouldn't you run a mega?"
*flashbacks to UCL where PK didn't run a mega one season*
I think that has been the standard for any gimmick for the first season iirc
I liked megas but I did wish more lesser loved or weaker Pokémon got the mega treatment and made them viable to some extent- Venomoth or Mightyena etc
I get that, but I’d prefer it if Mightyena got a regular evolution. Its BST is low enough to be a common mid-stage, and an evolution would be a more permanent buff. Who knows how long Megas are gonna be back?
Tbf there are a few more niche pokemon that got megas. Like nobody was out there repping beedrill
Nah man. Let them weak pokemon stay weak. Just as we have strong and powerful Pokemon we too need weak and pathetic pokemon
Those mons need a straight up regular evolution, not megas
00:11
"Its not all guns and roses"
well oviously, you have your extra power, type, ability, stats, pain and eternal suffering, death, set ups, sweeps,
But apart from that, it is just guns and roses
I actually like the vibes of all the gimmicks. The super finishing move vibe of Z moves and the music whenever a Pokemon dynamaxes helps up the enjoyment and tera is just fun. As long as you can be dramatic doing it then it passes the vibe check
I agree all of them are awesome.
I just hate it when people say the gimmicks or the games that house them are bad just because it isn’t Mega Evolution, they all deserve to be in the spotlight, not just only Megas
HEAVEN SCORCHING LIGHT OF DESTRUCTION! (Light that burns the sky)
Fun fact: when X and Y were first released megas were actually hated at first because it looked to similar to digimon.
My problem with “Give them just to the weaker Pokémon” is… why give a temporary buff that makes them viable when that whole design could have just been an actual evolution instead?
This is biggest issue with megas, when given to powerful Pokémon it breaks comp but when given to weaker Pokémon that isn’t already at a three stage evo… why not just have given them an actual evolution? This also basically blocks those weak Pokémon from getting future evolutions, their only hope is for a regional variant.
Megas are cool but it is such an absolute wasteful gimmick.
True, GameFreak is gonna have a tough time trying to find a Pokemon with the right balance of needing a buff but also being complete design and stat wise
I feel that if a Pokémon is a 2 or three stage line and doesn’t atleast have a bst of 500 give it a mega especially if it’s a 3 stage with below 500 bst.
Easy solution, just make the mega evolution into the next evolution in some way.
I'd prefer proper evolutions over megas just because they're more permanent. Heck Kingambit and Annihilape were great evolutions and finally gave them a leg up in comp........probably.
If there are new megas I hope to god they keep it for the pokemon that NEED a boost and not popular sake.
I'll probably use Mega Mawile in Legend ZA cause it's a dope design, I just wish it was a proper evolution.
Yeah, that. Mega evolutions and REAL evolutions share the same design space, and pretty much every mega form given to a single/two-stage Pokemon should have been a real one instead.
exactly this
Terastalization would be a great mechanic to keep from game to game also. It adds a ton to the competitive scene both in official vgc and unofficial stuff
"Mega Mawile is my favorite mega"
Same dude.
mega Charizard z confirmed, because he doesn't have enough forms yet
You just WANT to have Infinite evolutions same
they can’t make Mega Charizard Z yet, they still need to announce his tera form
@@Void_Echoes he ALREADY have it every Pokemon have it Bro you have dumb crown on your head thats all
No he don't,where is my Charizard-tera type?which turns a Pokemon into Charizard (less cool though)@@Max-je1dx
Mewtwo Z
17:30 actually if you paid attention during the DLC, Professor Briar's research was SPECIFICALLY about bringing the Terastalization Mechanic to other regions. And since she Succeeded in said research, we can be pretty confident it could make a return for AT least 1 more generation.
I think giving megas to weak pokemon as a bandage fix is bad, especially to ones that dont even have 2 or 3 stages in their evo line. Mawile, Heracross, Pinsir, etc should have just gotten an evolution.
Did no one see a picture of palafin pop into existence at the bottom right corner at 10:07 when he was talking about game balance 😂😂😂

You should react to Lockstin’s most recent mega video he had a really interesting take on Megas I’d like to hear your thoughts on
Legends isn't meant to be an Online battling game that's not what it's Designed for...... It's built for a Solitary Playthrough
Legends isn't made for Competitive Battling it's built for the LORE
No, I'm going to push back so hard on something you said: I am so happy that we have a series of Pokemon games that are solely focused on the single player experience, and I do not want that taken away from me. Do NOT add pvps to Legends Z-A. Keep that to the more standard titles.
He's content pilled, he just wants to do "then we fight" videos with those games.
@@numberhunter62and like fair but all and all I do want them to stay single player
Okay but like, you could just not play the multiplayer.
@@someonerandom8511 Okay but like, they could just not make the multiplayer.
I'm not saying multiplayer is bad. The multiplayer is part of the lifeblood of the main titles. I'm just glad that we have a mainline series that doesn't feel the need to balance around it and dedicates more resources to the world.
@@mettatonex7221 the issue is that people who don't want to play multiplayer have the option of not playing it, but so many people use and love online battling, and if it doesn't exust they don't have the same option and are forced to not use it
Does mega evolution really need a 100 increase in bst? What if beedrill gets a 150 bst while legendaries get a slight buff in their bst?
The fact that I can actually see them giving Charizard a new special something is kinda concerning, right?
Mega Charizard-Z!
@@Nightwalker065 and Mega Charizard A!
every Mega Charizard from A to Z (X and Y forms get a regional variant)
9:10 tbf, pretty similar what som animals do in the wild, gotta learn to fight/defend for yourself eventually 😭
Didnt expect moxie but hope you check out lockstins take on why too
Merch is King, he is right. The US Pokemoncenter is a fraction of what they release in Japan.
Merch is also their biggest source of profit by far. Far more than mainline games or even mobile games.
I didn't know you were a Mawile appreciator, glad to see my girl being recognized.
The funniest thing to me is that megaevolutions remind me extremly of digivolution😂
they remind me of Ultimate Aliens
Megas and Terra are my two favorite mechanics that they’ve done since Gen 6 and both are great in concept but in execution? Whoo boy. Megas specifically they turned into merch and fan service very quickly because why the FUCK did Mewtwo need ONE mega, let alone two?! Why did SALAMENCE need one?! A Pokémon already broken in singles who was in UBERS and still good in doubles?!
If megas where more balanced and properly distributed to okish/struggling Pokémon then it would be so much better.
9:05, yeah, but, like, it hatches with that baby already there. That's clearly not really it's baby, it's part of the Pokémon. Like Doduo's second head.
Me and my dad used to destroy the battle tree in gen 7 using a combo of Mega salamence and Tapu Koko (for my team) and Chandelure and Mega Kangaskhan for his the chandelure was scarfed and tapu koko was Electrium Z and Salamence's main damaging move for flying was Aerialate boosted Return (it could take blissy out in a single turn with them both going for it without trouble)
Legends ZAZA 💀💀💀💀💀
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I feel as though in Gen 7 they already knew that Mega-Pokemon wouldn't come back in Gen 8. Its kind of suspicious how they suddenly decided Mega-Pokemon get pokedex entries and most of them are effectively "This Pokemon would probably rather be dead than be mega evolved."
I just want my guy Mega Pinsir back
14:23 Daniel lets be honest you are probably the only one who wants a Mega Maractus let alone even remembers it exsists.
Hell I'm sure most of us your viewers/subscribers forget it exsists until you bring Maractus up.😅
Megas are cool in draft league because the stupid stuff is banned and there is variety with weaker megas being able to shine
For then we fights in legends ZA could always catch the mons in that game and then fight with them in another
My problem with megas, outside of the competitive aspect, are some of the designs that are objectively a downgrade compared to the base design of that Pokémon. Like mega Salamence, mega Heracross, mega Steelix, etc.
If strong pokemon get 100 bst then weaker ones should get 200 bst increase
Either that or give suboptimal even bad abilities to strong ones and super strong abilities to the weaker pokemon
If mega charizard z is announced i eat a shoe
15:53 bro said "3 mouths, Imagine 3 mouths( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
Hey patterz, u heard about the 2nd Punic war?
I hope Tera is made permanent, such a brain utilizing gimmick, plus it made Articuno viable and thats a huge W in my opinion
It's the worst solution though. Make Ice Types better by making them not Ice Type?
@@AlanXEverfrost didn’t the competitive Articuno run tera ice lmao
@@AlanXEverfrost They tried there best by creating 4 good ice types this gen and changing hail to snow. The biggest problem is the type chart and they can't make too many changes to it.
And then there's the psychic type down at the bottom of the rungs.
I loved him saying godzilla with an Asian accent lol its godzirra!
1:22 and the let’s go games
4:45 Banette 455 BST spells ass 😂
Triple battles escaped their home generation.
Did they? I could've sworn they were only in Gen 5 games.
@@midnightbloomofeorzea7182 They were in Gen VI too
"There's no one there. It's my cat." 😹
I never understood the hype behind megas tbh
I'm 100% convinced Megas are only as popular as they are because they were the first real gimmick.
I mean christ if you're old enough to remember when they first came out they were incredibly divisive, people mocked them constantly for GF "running out of ideas" and "just copying Digimon", etc. Megas are more popular NOW 10 years later than they ever were back then.
Just look at Gen 1, they get more regional forms, had more Megas and more Gigantamax forms than any other generation, not because they are the coolest looking pokémon, or the best pokémon but because they were the first ones.
I actually loved Dyna/Gigantamax because when you think about it, they are basically (nerfed) Megas and Z-moves (and you get 4 moves not just 1) combined that every pokémon could do and didn't require them to hold an item. Plus they had a 3 turn time limit which made them way more strategic to use than Megas.
my guy spitting fax
totally agree except for the end, the mega is much more strategic than the dinamax, the dinamax is almost hated by the strat community because it doesn't bring anything apart "its stronger , and more PV"
@@raziel6237Competely agree. At least in Showdown, they could relegate certain Megas to the OU/Uber tier and leave room for the weaker Megas to shine in UU/RU. But they couldn't do that with Dynamax because it was a universal game mechanic, which meant the only way to balance it was to outright ban its very existence.
I like (not love) megas but oustide of starters, I kinda wish Megas were for Pokemon that actually need it, like Absol or mawhile
True but honestly they should’ve just evolved regularly.
You named your cat Junichi Masuda?
1:06
Please tell me what you saw!!!
I dont wanna see Mega Urshifu in Gen 10.
9:46 I think the baby got mega evolved bc it’s the only thing that changed
I think megas shoud cap at 600 BST and for those that are way too near from 600 (like 570 or +) a +50 BST, looks at least more fair
Yes that sounds good to me
as an avid ampharos lover, the only reason he isn't top tier is because there are so many OP electric flying pokemon which takes away electric's one weakness, plus regieleki who is just op
We need mega jumpluff
Why we still having the debate that the Let’s Go games aren’t canon? Aside from that, megas are a fun gimmick but the fact that they’re not as universal as z moves, gigantimax/dynamax, and Tera makes them less conventionally playable. That’s not even to mention that they could always screwup and make the mega less viable like Garchomp, and while it’s not the case for the majority, it kinda sets a precedent for any actual viable mons getting just worse megas
Pinsir has always been my second favorite generation one non since I first played yellow version in the late 90s and it still to this day my third favorite, Pokémon. However, ever since I first saw him, I was jealous because scyther had wings and he didn’t. When I saw mega pincer, and it could fly, I nearly shit my pants right on the spot in pure happiness.
My biggest problem with Mega-Evolution had nothing to do with overcentralising the competitive meta, it was more that, as a casual fan who played the single player games, Mega-Evolution is hardly used. In X/Y there are exactly 3 battles where your opponent uses Mega-Evolution. Mega Lucario vs Mega Lucario at the Tower of Mastery, Lysander's Mega Gyarados and Diantha's Mega Gardevoir. If you're going to include a brand new mechanic like that, make it common. In Alola, every trial captain and Kahuna uses a Z Move, in Sword/Shield every Gym Leader Gigantamaxes their Pokemon.
I like Mega Evolution, especially some of those designs. Some of those Megas have the coolest designs of any Pokemon, but I don't think they'll continue it into Gen 10. I think instead, they've moved on to instead of giving older Pokemon Mega Evolutions, giving them Alternate Formes. Like you said, why would you use Ninetales when Mega-Charizard exists, well, then they added Alolan-Ninetales and it's now a staple of most hail teams, so it found it's niche.
I like the idea of giving Megas to weaker Pokemon, but I understand the impulse from the corporate execs to give it to the most popular Pokemon.
Moxieboosted is goated💯❤️💯❣️
scizor with life orb has better damage output than mega scizor.
Some of the Megas for the weak Pokemon could, and maybe should, become an additional evolution.
Legendaries don’t need Megas, or Megas should not exceed 600 BST.
Wasn't the reason megas were popular was just because it was the first big pokemon gimmick? In that regard, its kinda like the gen 1 of gimmicks. And all those demanding it come back are much like genwunners.
Yeah, I’d say a lot of that hype is nostalgia. Mega Evolution has a lot of technical and narrative problems that fans tend to dismiss. They tried a fan-pandering method, it got overhyped, game developers realized they overreached and now they’re trying to find a permanent mechanic that balances all the intricacies without breaking the game that also doesn’t drain their financial department to accomplish.
They should implement a stat buff for normal Pokémon. Example. You use Charizardite Y to get mega Charizard Y or you could use a universal mega stone on your Gogoat. The Gogoat doesn’t get a special form but it gets a stat buff equivalent to mega evolution.
I like this idea, and makes seans if you look at pokeken
But then they’d have to code in a stat buff for EVERY Pokémon
@@BreakableDiamond Yes but it’s a general stat buff. Pokémon with unique Megas should get unique Stat buffs. These special buffs should equal the same number btw. Example: Mega Beedrill and Mega Metagross get buffs to different specific stats but they only get like a 100 overall stat point buff. While the universal stat buff is the same. They could have multiple universal mega stones. Is it a lot of programming, yes. Will GameFreak do this, 99% chance it’s a no. Does it balance out megas while letting specific Pokémon get cool forms and not power creep others, id like to think so.
@@BreakableDiamond I mean, for a universal Mega Stone couldn't you just make it a generic +20 to everything?
Praying that we get Mega Flygon and it turns him into a Bug/Dragon type
primal groudon and kyogre are not megas im pretty sure?
They aren't megas in lore. But conceptually they are just a mega that activates at the start of the battle, they just have a different quirky name. The same can be said for Ash-Greninja
1:51 mega audino doesn’t really look cool but I’m a hater of it so I’m far to bias
Also hope some of gen 6 Pokemon could have mega forms too
Honestly? The reaction to Megas competitively feels so much like how the people of Pokemon mightve reacted to Megas right after the war. Though, for them its the fear of roided up monsters in pain being used to cause more violence, for VGC its the fear of a Mother and Child attacking twice in one turn.
Mega Audino sux
I’ve never liked megas and I’m so not looking forward to them being back. Having it be such a select pool of Pokemon, and having like half of those mons already be insanely powerful was just such a huge misstep. I know merch and whatever but as a mechanic it totally ruined it for me. I do really wish they’d keep megas away and just start buffing weaker mons instead, or giving them actual evos like they did for Bisharp and Primape. So much potential that was just taken away for the generations that had megas imo. Also for even not in game, just saying you don’t like megas at least used to get a bunch of people yelling at you for being wrong and I’m so sick of that lmao 😭
Here me out we need mega zangoose
The problem with megas is that so many of them could’ve just been regular evolutions. You can’t tell me mega Banette couldn’t have worked better as a regular evolution.
I think they should give megas another go but as Moxie mentioned they should rework the Uber tier megas to be a bit more balanced like Kang, Gengar, the weather trio etc.
Also while on it, game freak please do mega Charizaza just for the memes.
gamefreak doesn't care about the uber tier as it's a fan format
This guy... is obsessed with multiple mouth... what should I imagine!? WHAT?
When Pokemon created Mega evolution, Pokemon players learned to love, what Digimon fans have been enjoying since the 90th.
And for fans of both, like me, it was a dream come true.
I didn't play S & V competetive, buy any of the dlc, or Legend's Arceus because I was really starting to feel the burn out after playing every pokemon game since gen V. I feel that having that break for a year and a half, and going back to an old gimmick was what I needed to be pulled back in.
I feel like pokemon is the only fan base where the majority of casual players are more toxic than the competitive players
I prefer Dynamax because they fixed the balance issue with Megas. Dynamaxing at the wrong time could cost you the match. There was no negatives to just using your mega turn 1.
I think it'd be cool if mega evolution was used specifically for pokemon that cant evolve. Imagine mega pachirisu lol
Wish Golem had a mega
I just hope we get mega Scrafty!
❤😊
I think Gen 10 (onwards) should have all mechanics. But I'd make a few changes/rules:
- First, you can only use 1 "special mechanic" per battle, so either a mega, or a dynamax, or a tera, or a z move, or one of anything they add in the future, but not one of each (except maybe for dumb final battle raids stuff for the sake of it)
- Make Mega available to every pokémon. Not giving a Mega Evolution to everyone, but some similar stat boost, and make mega EVOLUTIONS a particular case, just like they did with Gigantamax/Dynamax, and Terastallize and Ogerpon/Terapagos. TyranitarTube recently uploaded a video about a great suggestion on the topic, where you could get a mega stone per stat type, and you could use a Mega Power that temporarily boosts that stat type by 50 or something, this way you could still use that instead of a megaevolution, as you may want a bosst to a particular stat or something
- Make all these mechanics use an item. So Mega Evolution/Power, you need a Mega Stone, Z move, you need a Z crystal, then Dynamax, you need an orb of Eternatus energy or someting, and a piece of terapagos crystal for terastallizing. This way, you don't HAVE to use one of these mechanics in a battle, as they wouldn't be a free bonus to use, and sometimes a choice scarf may be better.
Alson I would have loved if they kept megas a thing, and added new forms in every game. In Sun/Moon, add a few Megas, in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, add a Mega Dragonite, in Sword and Shield, add a few more, in BDSP, give the Starters a Mega, in Legends, give Arceus a Mega, in S/V, give some more. just a few, like 4-6 each main game, and 1-3 in remakes and spinoffs. that would've been awesome.
life orb garchomp is just stonger megabut better speed
In my opinion, who cares about competitive? If the mons unbalanced ban it from comp. it’s that simple. If a game caters to the pros/competitive side everytime they balance a game then all the fan base they will be left with is the comp sweats (AKA like 1% of the player base). Megas coming back should be a thing in each game
vgc doesn't have a ban system. It's a rotation format. Megas also have the issue of why not just give the mon an evolution instead
I think the reason why i like mega evolution is because it's special like with the other gimmick's all pokemon can use is even if some pokemon do get different forms is still work's with all pokemon but with mega evolution only some pokemon have it and it makes that pokemon special even if it's doesn't look cool.
Thats just bad, they only care about popular pokemons. Imagine playing a entire game without its gimmick just because you don't want the lucky few mons who got megas.
I dont know why everyone always wonders why mega are the modt appreciated.
Its because they are only gimmick that changes something.
Plus they have no competion.
Z moves are just cool moves and unbalanced that people just want to have those types of animation on normal moves,dinamax is just the pokemon getting bigger and people were mixed about it in competitive,gigantamax was the only other cool one but was ruined by the pokemon getting bigger and only lasted three turns,tera is the most hated but the best in competitive.
Hmm, I don't know why but I feel that you are biased here.
*"Its because they are only gimmick that changes something."*
Gigantamax and Tera both change the designs as well.
*"Z moves are just cool moves and unbalanced that people just want to have those types of animation on normal moves,"*
And they also give a viable Super Move to Pokemon that lack an strong move at all, so there's that.
*"dinamax is just the pokemon getting bigger"*
Both Dyna and Giganta were the perfect combo of Megas and Z-Moves in a single package.
*"gigantamax was the only other cool one but was ruined by the pokemon getting bigger and only lasted three turns,"*
Okay, we get it, *you* don't like giant Pokemon. Also, if it lasted longer it would be broken.
*"tera is the most hated"*
You sure about that?.
@@toumabyakuya tera doesnt change something.
It add something but its not even part of the pokemon.
Z moves do that at the cost of not making that worth it when you could just run it on an already broken pokemon.
Dina is staight up hated both by casual and the majority of the competitive side.
Let me remind you that dina is the only mechanic that people actually wanted to ban as a whole.
It was more appreciated by competitive player because it was the less broken but even than considering what the other option where it didnt mean much.
Tera is the most hated outside of gameplay.
In gameplay its the most loved.
@@alessandroreyes3827 Man, you are trying really hard to demonstrate that Megas were the best gimmick ever. You really are biased.
*"tera doesnt change something.*
*It add something but its not even part of the pokemon."*
It still makes the Pokemon look different.
*"Z moves do that at the cost of not making that worth it when you could just run it on an already broken pokemon."*
I could easily say the same thing about Megas. Why run any of the moderately good and often forgotten ones when I could run any of the broken and overly-popular ones?.
*"Dina is staight up hated both by casual and the majority of the competitive side."*
Nope, only the vocal minority says that, but it was mostly in the middle overall.
*"Let me remind you that dina is the only mechanic that people actually wanted to ban as a whole."*
Only the competitive crew said that, and only those that didn't want to give it more than 5 minutes of thought about it.
*"Tera is the most hated outside of gameplay."*
No, no it isn't, yet again is a vocal minority making it sound like it was hated when in reality its reception was mostly in the middle.
@@alessandroreyes3827you sound too biased to even engage with, why even argue when it’s this obvious LMAO
@windrose5988 *"It add as an ass-looking hat that is identical for every Pokemon."*
First, the hats look fine.
Second, you know how many hats would there need to be for your idea to work? 15120 hats. You expected GF to create +15K hats and still make a complex Pokemon game as well? Be real, no company could do that.
*"Mega made Pokemon that straight up didn't exist have a place in their own metagame."*
But, at the end of the day, there were still Megas that were both popular prior and strong that weren't banned, so again I ask: Why should I not use them?.
*"So only the people with critical thinking skills, who didn't defend the stupid gimmick for the sole fact that it was in a Pokemon game, and Pokemon has to be good, therefor the gimmick must be good?"*
Man, how rude can ya get? Now you are insulting anybody that disagrees with you here. Do you truly believe that only your opinion is valid and that the world revolves around you alone?.
*"The overall reception of anything in a franchise made up 70% of children is irrelevant, Children will play broken games and enjoy them, that does not make them good games."*
And you keep insulting anybody that dares to disagree with you here by calling them "kids" and saying that their opinion doesn't matter. Man, you are really rude!.
*"The only people who defend this shit are the same people who think it's totally okay for S/V to look and run worse than Breath of the wild nearly ten years after that released."*
Not only you keep being rude here, but you are also comparing Pokemon's development cycle to that of a game that got twice as long to be developed. That's not how it works.
My cat just died
Mega Maractus, I'm on board with that
mega evolution is the worst gimmick, why? because it's too limited....you can't introduce a gimmick and say "oh you wana use the gimmick, well choose between these 30 pokemon and shut up"
imagine playing a fighting game and only three characters can use an ultimate move...it's kinda like that
I understand the issue with Megas in competitive, but also .... CONSIDER THE VIBES.
Patterrz is right, Megas just hit different in the vibes and design department and as a very casual player, I have always wished for Mega evolution to return!
I mean, the problem is that even in a casual setting they are still overcentralized because 9/10 times the popular ones are the ones to get Megas.
@@toumabyakuya Yeah but it doesn't really matter at all if you play just for fun or maybe even just singleplayer. At that point it's just vibes and cool designs
@@Aghul This only works if your favorite Pokemon is one of the few lucky ones that got a Mega. If it was one of the most obscure ones then it will still get overshadowed.
@windrose5988 *"Popular Pokemon get more love regardless, and popular pokemon get megas because, get this, they're Popular."*
Hmm, it is starting to sound like your favorite Pokemon is one of the popular ones. You are sounding really biased here.
*"Why should gamefreak spend their development type on appeasing the 3 simisear fans out there?"*
Because, like it or not, they matter as much as you do. You aren't the most important person in the Universe.
@windrose5988 considering the devs went and gave love to the likes of Girafarig, Garbodor, Mr Mime, Kingler, and Stantler
I'd argue the "why spend time for the simisear fans" point is ALREADY wrong in a way
