Does anyone else genuinely like mega evolutions? I think they

>>29519071

No and I hate Mega evolution and Alola forms equally.

>>29519101
You sound super open-minded.

The problem is some megas are broken while others should have been normal evolutions.

>>29519071
Yes, I like it. They have their flaws though and I wish Charizard and Mewtwo also had only one Mega.

Premise is great and I like how most look, my only real issue is not enough of them. Some could be balanced better, but I don't care that much.

>>29519071
Despite the picture, M. Banette is my favourite mega.

concept is fine but execution is bad. my favorites happened to be broken and some just sucked. +50 to bst and ability would have been better

>>29519127

Alternative forms are waste of data space.

>>29519071
more pics like these pls

Mega Banette is my favorite mega and should totally learn Cotton Guard naturally

>>29519071
I like megas.
A few of my favorite oldmons got megas that made them viable. Of course some of them were still bad in battle like banette and absol, but having a cool new design was nice. The idea is good and should have been expanded upon, give more megas to shitmons. GF biggest mistake however, was giving megas to pokemon that were already very good and making some of them retardedly over powered. The people that hate megas hate them because of the overpowered ones. They need to balance them better.

>>29519071
I only like M-Banette cause the porn is good.

>>29519244

>>29519071
I hate most of them, but a few are good like Mawile/Lopunny and should have been evos or at best Alola versions

>>29519200
you're an idiot

>>29519071
It would have been fine if they stuck to their intended purpose of making otherwise unviable pokemon usable. Then they gave fucking legendaries overpowered mega forms.

>>29519200
Sure am glad people like you aren't in charge of making these games.

>>29519264
It's not terrible, but I wouldn't call it good.

>>29519294
It has a god-tier ability, a great speed stat and Fairy-type coverage. The only problem it has is being too frail and getting a boost to its Sp.Atk for no reason.
If you ask me it's more than simply "good".

Probably the worst thing about Gen VI. Every Pokemon that gets a Mega evolution falls into one of three categories:
A) It's already good (e.g.: Scizor, Tyranitar, Mewtwo)
B) It's not supposed to be good (e.g. Beedrill, Pidgeot, Lopunny, Audino)
C) It should have gotten an evolution (Pinsir, Banette)

Introducing these evolutions was simply unnecessary, especially considering that GF actually gave a few Pokemon 10 point BST boosts. If Pokemon are truly under-performing expectations, then that is the way to go.

Mega evolutions have essentially forced the tiers down. A lot of OU Pokemon from Gen V have been pushed down into BL/UU and etc. It's just a stupid power creep.

If more Megas were success stories like Sableye and Mawile, they'd be looked upon as a great success. However, GF dropped the ball, like usual, which is how we wound up with Mega Pseudos despite the fact that Psuedos were perfectly viable already, and still are. Garchomp did not need a Mega, Salamence did not need a Mega. Something completely unremarkable like Zebstrika or Chatot desperately needed a Mega and didn't get one.

Mawile is my favorite Pokemon, so I love the concept, but people disliking it makes a lot of sense.

Charizard getting 2 Megas is still pretty unforgivable, desu.

Megabro and Mega Bane are enough for me to consider Mega Evolution to be a great addition to the series. Megabro is just hilarious to use with his absurd defense stat and surprisingly useful ability.

what does that even mean? They're supposed to be shitmons?

>>29519413
It's not very good in Singles, but good to amazing (if you know how to use it) in Doubles.

>>29519421
Not every Pokemon has to be good. Pokemon like the early game Bug-types (such as Butterfree Beedrill) are designed to be good in the early game, evolving fast to get notably higher stats than the starter Pokemon. By giving shitmons buffs like this, it nullifies the want to catch stronger Pokemon in the late game and causes the competitive scene to become a huge mish-mash of Pokemon with all great stats.

>>29519156
Mewtwo should have none because it makes no sense lorewise.

My only problem with them is that a lot of Pokemon who needed them didn't get them. Where the fuck is my Mega Slowking with Analytic, GF?

>>29519495
Yeah,
>in gen 1
Heracross and Pinsir are rivals, not Scyther and Pinsir. I thought that should have been obvious when Scyther got an evolution and Pinsir didn't.

Not sure about hating them for no reason but i do love mega mawile and banette

>>29519071
>Mega Banette should be total shit

I don't get it.

There are times where I'm glad GF doesn't listen at all. This is one of them.

>>29519399
This. Right now the people who like megas is because they got lucky their favorites got a boost. To people like me who didn't have such luck it just stands out as the biggest mistake in gen6. They clearly weren't prepared to do something like this.

But, do i really want them to take another crack at it and see if they learned from their mistakes? Or do i want them to leave like it is out the fear they will royally fuck up?

Megas and alolan forms are a cool idea but but poorly executed. They fave megas to the popular mons and gave alolan forms to gen 1 only instead of the pokemon that could make sense as a tropical version.

I like megas. Mega Venusaur, Zard Y, Swampert, Banette, Slowbro, and Mawile breathed some life into my niggas who otherwise wouldn't have been that useful (other than Slowbro)

I like mega evolution but Alola forms are kind of dumb

>>29519127
Being open-minded often means you lack conviction, I think being reasonable is a much more worthwhile trait.

>causes the competitive scene to become a huge mish-mash of Pokemon with all great stats
In what universe is a varied metagame a bad thing
No really, this is good in every other competitive video game scene I've ever witnessed. Why should Pokemon's metagame be limited, predictable, and samey?
Spectators who view the metagame without active participation almost universally prefer and enjoy something that is more varied, offering the possibility that any game could be unique and different from the others for more reasons than just the skill level of the participants (or luck, in Pokemon)
It also keeps the metagamers on their toes which improves their own abilities and supports the continuation of the metagame.
Variation is healthy
Stagnation is death

>>29519727
>Why should Pokemon's metagame be limited, predictable, and samey?
Yeah let's give all of the Pokemon samey stats with le 100 stat boosts, then.

Love the concept of Megas, the non broken ones like gyarados, Garchomp(opportunity cost), Venusaur, Sableye, Banette, Scizor, Gardevoir and Lopunny for example allow a lot of team building leeway.

Sadly the broken ones and the primals are very restrictive in the formats they are allowed, Mawile, Khangaskan and Salamence come to mind as restrictive examples.

I honestly want more Megas, more team building options is always good.

Mega evolutions were a bad solution to a massive problem. There are way too many shitmons that are too awful to even be used in fucking single player without excessive grinding, let alone in anything remotely resembling a competitive environment. Mega evolutions adresses that issue by giving a lot of shitmons a new lease on life.
Unfortunately, the implementation of the system is so phenomenally bad that it almost outweighs the benefits. Overall, I'm glad that they did something, I just wish they had done literally anything else. At the very least, the should've stuck with the system and tried to fix it, but instead, they went with Alolan forms, which I guarantee you will be yet another half-baked system that will plague the series for generations to come.

>>29519787
This is what I feel, The shitmons get a mega and they become like tier 2 or somthing
>>29519809
This is what I want for shitmons that could get a evo instead of a mega.
