Were Scarlet and Violet the most injusticed mainline games when it comes to representation? It's not like they've started shilling Kalos together with Paldea, they did the full switch from one to another inside the same generation. They ended the SV era from TCG to start the MEGA era after so many years sticking to "one era per generation" rule.

The Pokemon that got megas are the most important and respected in the eyes of Game Freak's and TPC's eyes. Nothing could compete with them.

Nah, they've done that before too, with that weird BREAK thing (which were basically megas).

BREAK was still part of the XY era. The last era the TCG had that was in the middle of a generation was Gen 4 with HGSS (LEGEND in Japan).

XY BREAK sets followed the XY era numbering order. It was also tagged as XY despite being released after ORAS, if we are talking about region representivity. Outside Japan, XY only had a singular series implying that it's not considered a different era.

Why does it feel like gen 9 has lasted way longer than gen 8? I was gonna say it makes sense we are getting another era this gen because of how long it is but its still shorter than the last couple generations somehow.

Because we only a singular game for three years of generation, which is the usual duration of a generation. The gap between SV and Z-A is the largest between the series, 1063 days. Generation 7 (SM to SwSh release) lasted 1099 days for comparison.

It doesn't matter because Megas will only be in ZA which has a different battle system and no online battles.
Megas are shit because of their horrendous balancing. If they stay out of mainline games, it's fine. Megafags get their super saiyan slop and can shut the fuck up now, that's a good thing.

Saying it's in development just means the release date is undecided, they would have said 2026 if it was certain it wasn't releasing this year. Fact is the director left in June and took the game past beta, which means it's soon going to be (or already is) in a releasable state. As a live service mobile game, deciding on a release date isn't as simple as popping it out when it's done.

You mean gen 10? They're going to add new megas in Z-A which means the mechanic will also need to be in gen 10 so that the new megas can be used in a competitive game.

Some of you really didn't get the memo, the whole point of Champions is to have an isolated competitive game that doesn't have to be tied to mainline games. They showed megas in the reveal trailer for a reason.

Gen IX has been around for 3 years now, about as long as Gen VIII's entire lifecycle, and there's still no Gen X in sight.
I think it's fine if they wanna focus on PLZA until the next mainline release.

no, it had many super saiyan forms to specific pokemon and that's why it's shilled
