Why did they forgot a few Mega Pokémon for the Pokémon TCG?

I’m currently putting all my cards in binders, and since I was missing less than 50 regular Pokémon of the total 807 I bought the ones I was missing to have a complete National Index (including forms). I was also missing most of the Mega Pokémon, so I bought those as well.

Doing so I noticed that some Mega Pokémon aren’t released in the Pokémon TCG yet… :slightly_frowning_face: It really feels like there is something lacking in my National Index collection now. Some of the Mega Pokémon aren’t available on cards as far as I could find: Mega Pinsir; Mega Medicham; Mega Banette; Mega Sableye; Mega Latias; Mega Lopunny; etc. Haven’t checked all them yet, so probably more are missing.

Do you think they will be added in the future? Sun & Moon has no Mega Pokémon. But perhaps in the gen 8 TCG? Seems like a waste to create Pokémon designs for certain Mega Pokémon and not use them… :confounded:

Shinies and Alolans are all the rage right now. Doubt they’ll do Megas again.

Really hope they do Totem Pokémon in the TCG and find a good way to do it too. It is sad though that they aren’t in the card game yet, maybe one day…

The Pokemon TCG is pretty much notorious for leaving obvious “sets” uncompleted at this point; Megas are just one of the many things on the list. Still no Moltres / Suicune / Regice full arts. No Blastoise / Articuno in the old gym sets. We could probably go on forever.

For what it’s worth though, I grew to like the concept of Mega Pokemon and think that the Gen 7 mechanics (Z moves/GX moves, Alolan forms) were a step backwards.
