He's been a punching bag since gen 1 because he sucks compared to dragonair.
Why wouldn't they show us more megas? What were they afraid showing more would detract away from the hecking childhood KANTOOO mega? He barely changes and makes the game look really bad so far.

They want the game to fail. That's why they barely market it and when they do they just show things no one cares about or demoralizing shit like mega dragonite

I'm going to lose my mind if Starmie's is as bad as the leak makes it sound.

Because nuGame Freak and nuTPC can't design for shit. I'd rather them bring back Sugimori to actually do interesting designs with complexity and edge to them rather than this safe, inoffensive bullshit.
Everything about nuPokemon just screams risk aversion and lack of initiative. Its fucking sad.

It’s just weird because it’s a retcon of Dragonite.

>Dragonite was designed separately from Dragonair
>People notice the incongruity and fantasize about a more natural Dragonite design from Dragonair
>Made it a Mega evo, where spontaneously for no reason, Dragonite reverts back to vestigal traits of a more juvenile stage in its life cycle???

Why? This is what a regional “retcon” design is perfect for.

I'm sorry but showing 1 mega when we're less than 3 months to release is a huge red flag. Yes, we knew there are more cause of leaks, but it's just...why? After a year and a half of pretty much no info that's it? What's the big hook for this game?
