If Ash was still around, would they bullshit an excuse to let his Pikachu mega evolve into this?

the autistic faggot ashnime writers would make him fight against a jobber with one of these and give pikachu its own special form like butt buddy greninja

The only Pikachu trait X has is the colors.

Who cares
>>
>>59630455
X is Raichu with 2x Pikachus tail
Y is Pikachu with Raichus tail
>>
>>59630393
Why are Raichufags the only ones to pretend that their mega is the only one to take traits from their pre-evos. Or overstate how much Raichu X takes
>>
Lots of megas have traits from prevos. I'm not saying it's a good thing, actually I don't dig it. But still shows there's not an agenda against Raichu or whatever

Has anyone ever thought maybe megas are a shit gimmick and should never have been introduced to the series?
>>
>>59630781
Whenever something doesn't align to my tastes, it's a personal slight against me as a fan.

>>59630393
look at it this way anon at least the mascot evolved form got 2 megas and a z-move(alolan)

Still mad at Sugimori for giving up on the best dragon

Flygon’s too much a foddermon to get a mega, let alone 2
>>
>>59631234
>flygon flygon flygon
FUCK OFF SCHIZOOOOOOO
>>
>>59630524
Actually Y is more like Pikachu with Pikachu’s tail at the end of Raichu’s tail. Your point stands.

Mrga Floette is proof if they wanted to they would
>but why did they do it this way then?
because they're so detached from reality they unironically thought that Raichu fans would love to have the best of both chus. I know it makes them out to be even more retarded and still makes no goddamn sense to me either why they couldn't just do that to one of the two forms, but it's the only logical conclusion I have other than "they are somehow obligated to follow a rule that only they themselves enfore on themselves in the same game they break that exact same said rule".
Pretty much, this autism makes a tiny bit more sense than that autism
>>
>>59631234
>big chompers like Trapinch
the mega Feraligatr theme eh?
>>
>>59631435
>Mrga Floette is proof if they wanted to they would
No, because Mega Floette is constrained to a single special event Floette that was given an explicit story reason why it's fully-evolved, and thus can Mega Evolve. Regular Floettes can't Mega Evolve, they evolve to Florges. If they made a Mega Pikachu they'd really need to asspull a reason why it and only it can Mega Evolve, otherwise they'd break their own rules.
>>
>>59631499
there's Spiky eared Pichu and all the many, many Pikachus we've owned throughout the games that were explicitly stated to be unable to evolve.
It's also still just a case of "they just have to do what they already did but again"
>>

Mega Raichu Y just validates me when I say that """balancing""" is driven by marketing.

ok? they've done "pikachu that can't evolve" repeatedly. they can do it again

No they haven’t.
>>
>>59631234
only Pokemon people like get megas
>>
>>59631981
Let's Go can evolve?
>>
>>59630793
There's definitely a problem brewing with megas, they're making pokemon become way too unpredictable since they can be played in several different ways, with several different movesets and stat distributions, and change their Typing on mega-evolution or forego mega-evolving all together and catch you off guard with Choice Scarf. FORTUNATELY, people are all a bunch of sheep so you can count on 99% of them all playing the meta-strat.
>>
>>59630793
megas were only created to artificially prop up industry plants. They are indeed the worse gimmick in execution by far.
>>
I think the real issue with Pikachu having a Mega-evolution is that they'd feel obligated to make Ash's Pikachu in the anime have that transformation and they don't want to make that a regular thing where Pikachu mega-evolves every episode to zap Team Rocket and blast them off again. Like, Sailor Moon SuperS got really dumb when Chibiusa had to ring the Twinkle Bell every time to enable Sailor Moon to use Moon Gorgeous Meditation. That's how I feel Mega Pikachu would be handled. It's just the same "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" but with extra steps.
>>
>>59632069
Let's Go refuses to evolve, it's not physically incapable of doing so.

>industry plants
They're fictional creatures not wannabe celebrities that sold their souls to hollywood pedos. And every pokemon that got a mega was already popular and would have remained popular regardless if megas were never introduced. Sounds like you're just pissed whatever scrimblomon you like didn't get one.
>>
>>59632075
Industry plants like....Audino, and Victreebel
>>
>>59632099
And if anything, megas killed my interest in the pokemon I like that got them. Almost all of them are garbage, overdesigned slop. The few decent ones should have been saved for regional forms or alternate evolutions. God I fucking hate mega evolutions
>>
>>59632099
> They're fictional creatures not wannabe celebrities that sold their souls to hollywood pedos
They’re products propped up by Japanese pedos, same diff
> And every pokemon that got a mega was already popular
Yeah sis Banette, Glalie, Scovillain, and Eelectross are more popular than anything that didn’t get a mega
>>
>>59631977
>repeatedly
Only contest chus (who cannot move from ORAS) and cap chus but for practical reasons only cap count because they can move between games
>>
>>59630393
I'm just really mad that X is deliberately the worse Raichu.
Like here is 0 speed, with some pitiful extra bulk on a mono-electric Pokemon that is going to have to kill itself with Volt Tackle to do damage anyway.
