>None of the regional variants are Pokemon who have megas
>Megas are being swept under the rug because Gamefreak didn't think things through
>The current ones will be still present in the games though because Gamefreak hates retcons as much as they hate Gen 5
>Meaning and pokemon with a mega won't get a regional variant ever
>Meaning the Pokemon like Mawhile, Beedrill, and the ones who were meant to benefit from them with an upgrraded playstyle, will stay useless
Thanks gamefreak, innocent mon have to suffer now because you didn't think things through when making megas. Regional variants offer a different way to play your favourite Pokemon, but because some are tied to megas, you've locked quite a lot out you fucking dumbasses.

Illogical; if they wanted to sweep them under the rug, they wouldn't be advertising their return and making every mega stone available.

This. Alola forms are a flash in the pan like Megas. How will we even get them in games with different regions moving forward?
They won't have regional variants because they would need another new Mega form, you stupid fuck.

I don't get why people are saying that regional variants wont return because they're gimmicky like megas.... like, in what fashion? It's essentially repurposing an old pokemon to have a new design and lore behind it that's specific for the region it lives in, and it allows the developers to make new pokemon without having to work too hard or fill up the pokedex too quickly.
Face it, shit's more than likely to return, especially since it's being received so well even before the official release of this generation.
