    (not my theory/idea, credits to the yt vid here) (ps jump to 7:27 to listen to the explanation)

    So basically, all the non-Alola Pokémon that have been showcased in the SM trailers that don't have a mega & are fully-evolved are going to be having a Mega-Evolution is the theory :3 . (Flygon, Miltoic, Fearow, Dragonite, Pangoro, & Krookodile)

    All the other Pokémon in the trailers that are not 7th Gen or fully evolved, have Mega-Evolutions. (+ some match ups are totally random and the opposing Pokémon is not effected very much from the Pokémon's attack, if that makes any sense at all lol.)

    This is pretty sufficient from when XY trailers were revealed, most of the non-Kalos Pokémon that were showcased got Megas.

    What do you think? Do you support this theory? Why or why not? If so, are you excited for the possible Megas?
     
    Flygon, Milotic, and Dragonite? yes please.

    Fearow, Pangoro, and Krookodile? k e e p t h e m.

    I'm not gonna get my hopes up or anything. My excitement is saved for the actual new things. When the next game in line comes along the megas will be at the top of my list but as for right now, I'm not fussed about who gets a mega or not.

    The theory makes sense, but I can't see them following through with it. Mainly because I don't see those three I disagreed with getting megas. Milotic, Flygon and Dragonite make sense because they're fan favourites but the other three? Not so sure. They might just be the Pokemon available within Alola along with the new ones.

    A pokemon doesn't need to be a fan favorite to get a mega. Some pokemon get megas to make them more popular. The pokemon that get megas are kinda random. Don't forget, gamefreak said every pokemon will have a mega someday.
     
    I don't think this theory is concrete. Just because an older generation Pokemon appeared in a trailer doesn't mean it'll get a Mega, plus we haven't seen anything hinting towards Megas returning so that also makes me believe that Mega Evolution may be out after just one generation.

    Gamefreak said every pokemon would have a mega someday, so I don't think it's going away.
     
    I don't know, I think they could be just random Pokemon that the developers were using while testing the game. Although I would love to see new Megas, but I don't think they'll be the focus of this game. If anything they might not show them at all, and we'd be off to hunt for stones Post Game. Fearow getting some love would be really cool though.
     
    audino got a mega, anything is possible.

    I think its an awesome theory, and would love it to be true.
     
    I do think we will get more megas but I don't think this is a hint at what Pokemon will be receiving them. They are basically just wild Pokemon to show off how the new Pokemon look and move in battle.
     
    As Blue said, it's not an indication of what is receiving a Mega. I believe it's more likely hinting as to which older generation Pokemon may be catchable in Alola's regional Pokedex.

    If you go back and watch all the X & Y trailers, all the older generation Pokemon shown were included in the Kalos regional Dex. If that was anything to go by, it's likely all the older Pokemon appearing in Sun & Moon trailers at the moment are all going to be in Alola's regional Dex.

    I think he is on to something. And honestly Hikamaru, I really don't understand why you think Megas aren't going to make a return. I just don't see why it wouldn't. It is a massive battle mechanic and they have never removed battle mechanics before. Not to mention it is very popular. And they continue to hype the hell out of it in the anime and tcg and even the movie.

    Krookodile is a fan favorite. It is probably on par with Flygon. And they don't have to be fan favorites. Just look at Audino, Slowbro, Pinsir, Lopunny, and Mawile.

    Nothign Game Freak does is random. Nothing at all. They do everything for a reason. They plan everything like it does. People though the dog in the trailer was random, but Corocoro and Pokemon planned it. It isn't random. It never will be random.

    The anime showcased a trainer with all Eeveelutions and the very next generation, we got another Eeveelution. Sableye was a big pokemon in the Mewtwo movie, and we got a mega in the next games. Ash caught an Aipom, people thought it was random, but then it evolved in the next generation. The showcased the hell out of Charizard in Pokemon BW at the end, and it got Megas. Nothing is random.

    In the long run it isn't. In the short term it might seem like it. I do think that Megas will return, and we'll get new ones likely around the time they'll reveal the purpose of the bracelet.

    Irc Masuda said that the criteria for who gets Megas are Balance, Popularity, and Creativity. Flygon failed to get a design that they felt adequate so despite being a fan favorite it didn't get a Mega in either of the Gen VI pairs.

    I am 50-50 on Megas returning, because while it will likely be a staple for the series due to how it impacted competitive play, the issue is we haven't seen any new Megas so far or anything hinting towards new Megas, especially since the protagonist's bracelet doesn't seem to have a Key Stone and looks more likely to be a new mechanic.

    Game Freak also infamously tends to remove well-loved features between games, so there's that to consider as well.
     
    I certainly beleive we're going to see a lot of mega evolutions in SM.

    Well, the bracelets not being key stones don't really mean that there aren't gonna be mega evos, do they? And i hope GF won't be removing them, since they were one of the most loved feature in Pokemon. I was instead speculating on getting a new kind of mega evolution, 'The Ultra Mega-Evolution'.

    Maybe they might just be keeping the reveal of new Megas secret until the game release. I get my theory is one not everyone agrees with due to the sheer popularity of Mega Evolution but if we are still getting Megas maybe they're just being held off from getting revealed at the moment.
     
    I have trouble believing that Dragonite will get a Mega Evolution because of how redundant the name of its Mega Stone will sound in the English version.

    Slowbro's a fan favorite because of its pre-evolved form being a meme, Pinsir's a fan favorite before Heracross came to outclass it, and Lopunny and Mawile became fan favorites for, well, special reasons.
