Was mega evolution a mistake?

>>25767915
Yes.

>>25767915
It was handled poorly.

>>25767915
What would be the point of Digimon without Digitation?

>>25767915
As much as forms and evolutions are.

>>25767915
No.

>>25767915
The biggest thing that rubs me the wrong way about it is that it's classified as "Evolution", despite that for all intents and purposes MEs are just formes.

If the game simply called them formes it wouldn't imply so heavily that Pokémon with less than 3 stages who got a ME will never get a proper evolution now. And what kind of evolution only lasts a few moments before reverting the creature back to its simpler form, etc etc. Name it literally anything BUT Evolution.

It's only a mistake when they give megas to already strong Pokemon.

Any kind of digievolution outside of the games

I really like them...

>>25767915
Yes

>And what kind of evolution only lasts a few moments before reverting the creature

Outside of the Pokémon context? Thanks to Dragon Ball Z, 99% of any kind power up transformation is temporary and reversable.
In Pokémon context, yeah it's weird.

>>25767915
Absolutely.
They could've used the opportunity to give the weaker mons megas but lolno they just had to give the the already strong ones megas

Honestly this
I think that overlooked shitmons need to get mega's. Like lopunnys was awesome becuase it made her something.
But nope, gengar and alakazam
