"This fall, it all comes together in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, except we're not gonna include the biggest addition to the series since the conception of the series itself!"
That is legit what I think of every time someone says Mega Evolutions won't be in SM at all. Quote:

Just wondering, theres been no actual confirmation of Ash-Greninja in Sun and Moon yet has there? Unless I missed it |

As long as the game mechanic of Mega Evolution is not removed, I would be fine without having no new Megas for the time being.

We need more Alola Forms, but with other Pokémon from other Generations.
For y'all who're complaining about no Mega Evolutions, do you seriously want to travel the entire region just to find a bunch of random stones just so you can temporarily power up your Pokémon in battle? That's why we don't need more Mega Evolutions. So we won't have to suffer the hassle of trying to find all the stones. Yeah, there's Pokémon Bank, but... |

I think and hope there will be a few Mega Evolutions. Not too many though, I think If we got around 10, that would be perfect!

So what if you have to find a stone? The Pokémon series naturally encourages exploration anyways with hidden goodies hiding around every corner--and with everyone so excited about Alola in general, why wouldn't you want to explore every inch of the region anyways? Finding the Mega Stones is just an added bonus! And I'd rather have a stone involved so that they don't become an overpowered mess like Mega Rayquaza............ Quote:

Revealing more Mega evolutions would take the Alolan forms out of the spotlight which seem to be the main focus of S/M. It would be wise for them to reveal them just before the release or once all the Alolan forms have been revealed.
|
I hope Mega Evolutions stay, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, please don't add any more. Just go on with Alolan Formes.
We have enough mega evolutions. Concepts like Alolan Formes and the Z-Move are way cooler. |
To be honest, I don't mind if Mega Evolutions stay, but unless they have severe handicaps or are post-game they suck out the fun of gameplay for me. Let me explain, sure, in competitive battling it helps a lot( since Hyper Training is introduced I can finally actually try competitive battling),but the main problem I had with them from the start was that they are SOOOOOO unbalanced. Taking out the fact that the AI in XY was a 12/225( People actually checked this) and that Junichi Masuda made the game easier on purpose for smartphone kids( I'm not joking when I state this. Just look up the interview) other than some important trainers like the champion or Korrina, NO ONE ELSE USES MEGAS IN-GAME. Like, when I use them, it's fun...for a while...but I just got bored with them afterwards as I just steamrolled through everything. Wouldn't it be cool if in late game you found a youngster with Mega Pidgeot? It would be amazing and actually set a challenge against your Mega! In ORAS/XY nothing stopped you from having a full team with Megastones. Yeah you could only use them once per battle, but if you know what you're doing it's pretty freaking easy to steamroll through everything. Plus you can switch and STILL BE IN the Mega form. It's insane.
I get it, it helps pokemon that were garbage/meh-ish to actual become better, but they need to balance it somehow. As much as I loved to use them, they need some more handicaps.( Like one Mega stone on ONE Pokemon for battle. That's it. Or if not, just make it post-game). I know some people might be turned off by my idea, but damn Megas are way too OP and unfair to some pokemon who are popular coughMewtwocough. I'm actually pretty glad Alola forms exist given that they actually give Pokemon that need it a PERMANENT change to their typing and stats than having it be temporary. |

That being said I do think keeping the mechanic confined to the post-game would not only help prevent powering through the main story as you said, but also give the player some incentive to give another pass through the region and act as at least some sort of post-game feature, even if it's minor compared to post-games of old. |
Quote:
P.S. Mega Flygon please? Or at least an Alolan Flygon so it gets a boost? Please? |

But like you said, it's mainly because the storyline is getting easier with every new game. Kids these days are more likely to pick up a smartphone than a 3DS (because you know, mobile gaming popularity) so they may not know how the main Pokemon games work, and that's why we have things like catching tutorials that are being forced at the start in every game, and with the new battle interface now having effectiveness indicators on your move selection screen it shows that Sun & Moon are being even more newcomer-friendly. It's due to keeping the main story easy for newcomers that we didn't see many NPCs use Mega Evolution in 6th Gen. I don't mind if Mega Evolution is kept to the postgame since the mechanic is not getting focused anymore but at least give some incentive to want to complete the main story, like you said. |
Quote:
Alola forms aren't a major stat boost, they just change the type AFAIK. |
I think Alola Forms will get stat changes, since Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash's bio mentioned they did get slower with their new form.

I liked Mega Evolution last Gen but the ones who got them was odd although I like how it changed some neutral looking Shinies. (Although I may be biased as I have a Shiny Female Garchomp)
Whilst I like most of the Alohan forms I'd like to see Dragonnite get something this Gen after being overlooked last Gen. Either a Mega Evolution or an Alohan form (Maybe Dragon/Fairy) would be good. |
I think Alolan forms will be in story line and megas will be Post game.
|
I hope to see more MEs and form/es like Primal Reversion... Though I don't expect more than 20 overall...
|
i want mega rayquazas dragon accent to be altered into a z move if mega evolution do come back
|
That... may actually make it less OP. Because Rayquaza would have to hold the Flying-Type Z-Gem thing in order to use it. Whereas before it was just a tutor move and Rayquaza could hold any Item it wants... That's really interesting. I definitely wouldn't be against that.
But then it would heavily imply some sort of connection between Z-Moves and Mega Evolution. Not that that's a bad thing, but there'd have to be some lore to go along with that. |
