So, some people were pretty upset about the mega evolution choices.
Spoiler:
MEGA BIDOOF!! OH GOD WHERE ARE YOU MEGA BIDOOF!?!

Anyway, I was wondering which Pokémon - in your opinion - Deserved a Mega Evolution, and perhaps there are a few who are unfit for the Mega Evolution role.

Mega Sableye would have been cool. Get on it, Game Freak. Mega Sableye for Pokémon Z. Because of the gems on its back, it could go in that direction for design, becoming gem-based or something.

Mega Gyarados is pretty pointless. The design isn't the greatest and it has little competitive support. It was probably Game Freak trying to pick out some fan favourites, and I would've loved it, if the things I've mentioned were improved.

What do you think?

Bellossom <3 I love that Pokemon, but it's weak in comparison to other choices :( bad enough to be a grass type, but grass and fragile... Ugh.

I'd also have mildly enjoyed a Mega Clefable or Mega Wigglytuff :P Again, cute picks.

I, like many other people, wish to see Megas of all the starters, as it's only fair. At the very least, Sceptile and Swampert should get them since Blaziken has one. Personally, I am not a fan of Charizard having two Megas; I don't like the favoritism, even if Charizard is a very popular 'mon. Mewtwo is alright I guess since it's a legendary (and therefore special =P), though I really dislike X's design and only find Y's decent.

I would like to see a Mega Gallade, as it doesn't make sense to me that only Gardevoir would have one. There aren't any other Pokemon whom I'm really hoping get Megas, mostly because I like my favorites as they are and might dislike or even hate their potential Mega forms. I do think Mega Raichu, Heliolisk, and Meowstic would be really interesting-looking though. :o

Personally, I would love to see mega Skarmory. This Pokémon's utilized defensively most of the time, when it mega-evolves, maybe we could use it more for its offenses? They make it drop few of its Defense and Special Defense stats and have it gain boost in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. :] Aside from that, I think Metagross deserves a mega form, too!

I was surprised that in the game that introduced mega evolution the starters don't have mega evolutions! I'd like to see Greninja, Delphox, and Chesnaught get some powerful mega evos. Also, why does Blaziken get all the 3rd gen starter love? Where's my mega Swampert and Sceptile? Blaziken getting a mega evolution is just going to make the already favored starter even more favored!

I, too, would have liked to see megas for all the starters. Mega Metagross and Goodra could have been pretty awesome too, especially since other pseudo-legendaries got megas.

Mewtwo really didn't need it, but I have a personal fanon justification for why it has them, so I'm not too upset.

They missed out on many Pokemon that would make interesting mega, Mienshao, Floatzel, and Zangoose come to mind - I"m sure it will never get one, but always wishing that Watchog gets one in the future.

Well, first off.
Mega Farfetch'd. A faster, more powerful version of like a Greninja.
Mega Skarmory. Add some attack stat to it.
Mega Dunsparce. Make it more than just something that's there.

Also, we do need the rest of the Hoenn Starters to get Megas. Like Swampert and Sceptile.

HOWEVER. I have a theory.
With Latias and Latios having mega stones, but not having the ability to actually mega evolve and Blaziken already having it. Maybe, Blaziken was a sneak preview to the Gen VI Hoenn remake.

I do recall in an announcement that Game Freak wasn't planning on giving the Kalos Pokemon Mega Evolutions. However, Mega Salamence and Mega Dragonite sound promising.

Anyway, I also agree that Gallade also deserved a Mega Evolution after Gardevoir was shown to have one.

I also think Gallade should've gotten a Mega-evo along with Gardevoir. Besides that, nothing really jumps at me. I don't really have qualms with their choices, although some of them like all the Gen. III evolutions were extremely random (Banette, Medicham, Manectric, idr if there were more).

I think Spinda should have gotten one so he could be good for something over than having a cool design.

I also think that maybe Charizard and Mewtwo shouldn't have gotten two.
We all change. When you think about it, we're all different people all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.

Charizard from a competitive standpoint, most certainly did deserve a mega evolution. It finally brought him back from the bowels of NU and actually made him a threat.

Lucario is already a beast and it's mega evo was banned to ubers IIRC. Still a badass Pokemon even without it's mega evolution. I just EV trained an Adamant event Lucario.

Dunsparce; Farfetch'd; Sableye; Skarmory. Basically any weak monster (okay, Skarmory isn't weak, but still) that doesn't have an evolution.
I agree whole heartedly on using it for balencing.

Well, I want to say Rapidash, though I may be playing favorites, since it's never been competitive.

Second would have to be Sableye, the charming little bugger. Nice effect nowadays, but has always needed some love despite having a perfect type combo, Sableeye's never had a good moveset or stats to actually make it competitive.

Also, certainly Butterfree and Beedrill. Archeus knows they need love too.

I also want to say Raichu. Something to make the Pikachu line actually a threat instead of just a mascot. Too keep mascot material, maybe make the mega evolution favor Pikachu in appearance more than Raichu.

This is definitely something I could get behind, not least because any excuse to use Skarmory is a good one :P
