Now that the dust has settled, were megas a good idea?
>>58765343I like the idea but the designers had no idwa what they were doing and threw a bunch of random bullshit at the wall both gens we got megas. On paper I like Megas more than Gigantamax but Gigantamax had leagues better design cohesion
>>58765343Most are downgrades from the original
>>58765343Design: they dropped the ball with ZA's batchGameplay: They had the right idea with the XY megas' power levels, then they went too far with ORAS, and now with ZA it feels like they're overcorrecting and making them too weak.
>>58765343no it's just a retarded shillmon marketing tool
>>58765343In theory, yes, but sadly, the majority of them look like complete trash they literally look like fake evolutions made by kids. Most of the time the evolutions don’t look natural.Aggron is a good example of looking like a 4th evo.
>>58765385>Most of the time the evolutions don’t look naturalthat's the entire point
Megas saved Pokemon.
>>58765343The idea is cool, but I prefer regional forms now. Temporary transformations are just not as interesting as totally different remixes of the pokemon.
>>58765343most of thr XY ones suck but the ZA batch was 50/50
>>58765400from what? bad designs? powercreep? kantopandering? blocking pokémon from a very necessary second evo?Megas made all of that worse, dumbass.
>>58765424All of those were in the games before Megas.
Bringing back classic Pokemon for a new transformation is always fun. Like new Evolutions but more EXTREME.Ohmori wanted to make the other gimmicks balanced around everything, but they have much less staying power.
>>58765343Good for everyone except Venusaur and Feraligatr fans since Gamefreak hates these Pokémon
>>58765365There are a lot of Megas I DO like but you’re right, Gmax have a better track record as a whole
>>58765343I hate itI tried playing smogon ZA 6v6.Literally impossible to tell which is the megaWhen 5/6 Pokémon on the opposing team can mega evolve. It's only obvious when you see bad mons like meganium or LucarioCompetitive will be unplayable
>>58765343XY/ORAS Megas, Pretty Good, ZA Megas are a fucking mistake
>>58765343Generation 6 megas were grrat but the new ones are trash.
>>58766557MSteelix looks like ass.
>>58766533>nooo muh fanfic meta doesn't allign with my perfect autistic rules anymore!!Good. Pokémon needs more unpredictability that isn't just RNG fucking you over.
>>58766533>It's only obvious when you see bad mons like meganium or LucarioAnon was brave to say it like it is and call Lucario shit. I salute you because if this was Leddit you'd be crucified and set on fire.
>>58765343OP this compilation is great. This picture would have been kino if the word "dragon ascent" is changed to picrel.
>>58766533Well you better fucking hate z-moves dynamax and terra then because literally every Pokémon can do those
meta game wise dynamax and and terra stomp because you don't have to give up your item slot for it like you have to do for z moves and megas
>>58766533>Literally impossible to tell which is the megaThat's great.There are enough good Megas now to fill out a whole party, without necessarily wasting a slot.Time to git gud.
