Megas were a cool idea to get underpowered pokemon to be viable
Then they started giving megas to pseudos and legendaries

They might not have needed megas, but those two helped me get my stamps in the USUM battle tree, so they're cool in my book.

>>58039281 (OP)
I only like around a quarter of all Megas, they needed more cooking and after 12 years it's already looking grim for the next batch.

They did from the very beginning you retard, they were never to give shitmons anything they only exist to appeal to adhd retards who love shiny colorful things on cool spiky dragons and machines so theyll go OOOOOO and slurp up the games

Midwit opinion.
Why would some weakling be able to perform the ultimate form of evolution?
Only the strongest should get megas, weaklings should get regular cross gen evos if they can.

I mean, the lore of megas was that a strong bond between a trainer and pokemon was the thing to bring out their full potential
Until omega ruby/alpha sapphire came out and started doing the edgelord pokedex entries about every mega being driven mad with rage and pain

>>58039989
That was Gen 7 you shmuck. And then they walked it back in LGPE.

this was never true

>>58040653
Isn't basically every pokemon on the left save for like crawdaunt and scolipede already pretty good?

>>58039989
My take is that the strong bonds between trainer and pokemon were originally needed for the pokemon to power through mega evolution without going mental. Like an edgy anime transformation that gives a big power boost at the cost of the characters sanity prior to being fixed by the power of friendship/ love. Instead, we got that plot point dropped for instant gratification buttons in the final games.

The idea was just ripping off digimon

>>58040669
oh and tangela too
I mean, really, the fucking perish trap duo is there

>>58040669
That’s was their point. They’re good because they got buffs without needing to get a gimmick form
