It’s just one of those Pokemon you just can’t care about. Like magnemite, magneton and that silly magnezone.
So Mega stands for a couple weird spikes(most noticeably and regrettably so with Aerodactyl) or messing up characteristics(like murdering the awesome look of Blastoise)…
What’s next? Mega ditto?
Had to vent my ever continuing frustration of not seeing a Mega I actually really like.
Well, Mega espeon is quite a stretch. Since they have to do all the eeveelutions then. But then again, pokemon does anything to get more merch and cards out there. Why couldn’t they just bring out another set like fire red? That set was amazing. I think that a similar set, but with the 2nd gen pokemon only will appear. Yet maybe not, because they want to shove those xy’s down our gullets.
Magnezone is certainly not one of the best designed Pokemon, but it is far from the worst. It gets too much hate.
The only truly terrible Gen 4 ‘newvolution’ is Electivire.
On the whole I am not a big fan of Mega Evolution, I dislike more of the Mega designs than ones I like, and it has more or less made it impossible for older single or 1 stage Pokemon to get new evolutions. As far as an in game mechanic goes it really hasn’t changed much, in the meta it has, but not ingame.
But yeah, this discussion should probably move to the ORAS thread.
