Is GF trying to gradually phase out Mega Evos by making them harder to get and less available with each new game?
Also, Mega Evolution thread.
i hope so. mega evolution was the biggest mis-step pokemon has ever made. the sooner we get rid of them the better.

They're a gameplay mechanic, they can't be gotten rid of.
It might have been de-emphasized, but it's not going anywhere.

Same. I feel the same with z moves however I can handle that a little better. They really made it seem like an Alola only thing in the games do I really don't know how they'll put it in newer games if they do decide to
Mega-Arcanine when?

I think Megas, regional forms, and UBs are efforts to limit the pool of attainable Pokemon that can be put in games.
That way, as the total mon count increases over time (which they're also making efforts to control with relatively few actual additions), they're less obligated to insert some mons into the game and basically oversaturate it.
Specifically with Megas, they went the route of item dependency. As we saw with Gems, there is the possibility to remove items between generations/games. That is to say, they don't have to necessarily 'retcon a Mega out of existence' but just claim that the stone is unattainable for one reason or another. And Megas don't count toward the dex as I acknowledged so it's not like a real loss of a mon. I think it's a smart approach to gauging public reaction to new ideas while also controlling the population size of the number of mons.

That and they're totally useless for anything, most of all competitive.
They don't want you to use them. Ever.

The damage is already done. Megas set a precedent that GF is all too willing to follow.
