So since there isn't too much focus on Mega Evolution, is

I'm hoping they've just been scrapped and will be quietly turned into alternate formes to go alongside the Alola variations.

Removes the dumb concept altogether, and allows you to have stuff like Grass/Dragon Sceptile on-demand without needing to Mega-evolve in every battle.

Nah senpai, there's way too much marketing/merchandise behind them to just be scrapped.

This is my theory.

You will be able to find mega stones throughout the game a la ORAS.

The main focus of SM will be stones. Mega Evolution will not be emphasized.

You will be given a mega evolution bracelet SM postgame.

You will only be able to wear one bracelet at a time. Thus, during pokemon battles, you will have to choose between using a mega evolution or using a "burst" attack. You will not be able to use both.

Lastly, I do not think there will be new mega evolutions, but it is a possibility. At the least, we will see the known mega stones return.

Just make them the final evos when you fully evolve a 6x31 iv starter.

You'll have to wait for the DP remakes two years from now.
