I have nothing against Z-Moves but seriously. As soon as the trailer came out everyone was like Z-Moves are the best and are better than Mega Evolutions. Mega Evolutions weren't that bad. They where like Pokemon who can go super sayin. They where pretty cool yet some people say dancing weirdly to get your Pokemon to unleash a super move is better?! And as someone has said what about Mega Rayquaza? Your telling me it can mega evolve and use a Z-Move? Way too much
Honestly I don't understand why people are more hyped for Z move than megas. I really loved megas and it was interesting to speculate which mega the evil team leader could be using. the whole purpose of having your own pet monster that can turn even more powerful was really cool to me. I fucking loved megas.

Z-crystals are hold items

Rayquaza doesn't need a mega stone

And risks it's item slot (Life Orb and Lum Berry) for something it doesn't need just having Dragon Ascent in its movepool

Oh shit I forgot about
I'm sure they'll figure something out though or they just won't care

GF probably wanted the player to be able to do something that worked with any pokemon. Megas are a fun idea, but they are very limiting, and with Z moves any pokemon can shine (the player's favorite).
However, lots to be speculated about Z moves. If the damage is based off of base stats, then Z moves are useless on any defensive pokemon, for example.
megas only work with specific pokemon, so most pokemon get left out, while every pokemon can use a Z stone
Because megas are crap. Mega evolution is a shitty band-aid for pokemon that need permanent fixes and they made op pokes even more op.

I Would've liked Megas if they were a Form triggered by the Megastone being held.
I think Z moves might be cool, but the whole dancing thing is cringeworthy.
