I hope this is not a duplicate thread, but I tried to search around for this topic and couldn't find it...
Tonight I had this weird pokémon related dream, or more accurately part/sequence of a dream. Basically, it was told to me by an unknown narrator, in a sort of flashback sequence, that all pokémon had a mega evolved state in the past; it wasn't specified how far back this was. Because of some war (either between different pokémon or with humans) it was decided that mega evolution was too dangerous to be used (kind of like the non-proliferation agreement and the atomic bomb). It was never explained how this prevention works or how it is enforced.
Basically, mega evolution was only allowed in specific circumstances when there was a strong wish to defend a loved one (trainer or pokémon kin). In principle, this was also the explanation for evolutions as a whole; pokémon always evolve because of love and need to protect. It's thus natural that the longer a pokémon stays with a trainer, the more and tougher battles will follow and the need to protect (the trainer in this case) grows stronger, thus triggering evolution as the level of the pokémon rises with experience. Mega evolution is thus a possibility for every pokémon, hidden in its DNA, but locked away because it grew out of hand. This also explained why there needs to be a strong bond between trainer and pokémon for mega evolution to occur...
Even though I don't think this is the true explanation for (mega)evolution it was an interesting dream nonetheless ;). How about you people? Any fun/weird/interesting pokémon dreams you would like to share?
