    One major factor you forgot about was their initial reveal. All throughout XY and ORAS, the reveal of a brand new Mega Evolution was always exciting. Speculation was also rampant. People did know what Mega Mewtwo Y was they, though it was Mewthree. People though Lucario got a brand new evolution. People though Ash and Greninja fused somehow. You could see this impact online from 2013 to 2016. Look up on RUclips how many top 10 Mega Evolution video there are or Pokémon that need mega evolutions for Sun and Moon. You barely saw this with G-Max and you never saw it with Z moves and there isn't a point to discuss it with tera types.

Also am i the only one who doesn't think the timeline was split by the shot of Ultimate Weapon? It's a little weird.

    it's not often brought up by by far my favorite part of the mega evo gimmicks were how the trainer presents them. sawyer has his stone as a bookmark, alain had a black bracelet that matches his outfit, diantha is a necklace, cynthia's a lipstick. its a small thing but it just give the trainers so much personality without needing to speak. the other gimmicks are presented just as.... gimmicks, all trainers have the same z-ring bracelets, all dynamax bracelets are the same (though it could be argued that they were designed based on wristband for sports) and the tera orbs are no different; they tell nothing to us about the trainer's personality and thats honestly is a shame.

    Megas were meaningful AND unique. Megas took some pretty underappreciated Pokemon and made them beasts in battle. Kangaskhan and Mawile would have been completely unused Pokemon if not for their Megas. But it turned them into beasts in unique ways. You don't just get a universal power-up like with Z-moves, Dynamax and Terastilization. Mega Kangaskhan gets a buff no other Pokemon has ever seen before with Parental Bond. Yet it's different from Mega Mawile who gets Huge Power. Which is also different from Mega Banette who gets Prankster and Mega Lopunny who gets Scrappy. Megas allowed weaker Pokemon to shine by giving them synergistic buffs for their base kits. This no longer happens with the subsequent three gimmicks. There's no point in using Mawile with Tera when you can just use a better steel type with higher stats or even just tera a Pokemon into steel type. All it does is make the strong stronger and make the weak, even more irrelevant.

      Defensive teras exist, not to mention terastalieation made an entire type in the type chart viable, you would have a point if it wasn't for the fact alot of the megas given to lesser known mons were still trash compared to the megas the game freak favorites received, even wolfie who won with a mega bannet and got it on the map admits mega bannet is trash compared to mega Gengar and others, megas on paper should have made the weak stronger but literally the same over used pokemon got megas only a handful of mons that were irrelevant got megas, some megas made the pokemon worse for some(like agron) the only buff that matters is making it mono steel(tera does this already and to better effect) megas made the over used more over used and the weak even more irrelevant but with a shiny new coat.

      I think new evolutions are much better than megas because if megas aren’t supported in that game, well then that Pokemon isn’t good. It makes a whole Pokémon’s viability tied to a form change that may or may not show up again in the future. With a new evolution it will always exist as apart of the pokedex.

    @benetnasch1774 8 месяцев назад +13

    What made megas loved is what gamefreak didn't understand about what made them good, the fact that they felt more like an extra evolution, a mechanic, a new story for pokemons rather than a gimmick, you liked how strong they made pokemon feel and how the design made them look like a natural evolution, like mawile getting 2 mouths, mega venusaur continuing that sprout evolution, mega charizard x and y especially y looked like an evolution of charizard, they were awesome, but gamefreak instead thought, oh they liked meg evolutions because they were new, and that's why we got weird z moves, gigantamax looks like a qeird gimmick no different than cosplay pikachu or that gorgheist sizes, really like you see gigantamax you don't think oh wow gengar got a new evolution, no you think oh it's a gimmick that makes gengar bigger, and terastalization is just, oh now we can have monochromatic pokemon with a single type.
    People say gigantamax is better because it's more balanced, but honestly who cares about balance, in a game where only 10% at best of pokémon's are viable, and a game that started as a collection game not a battle game, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why they keep making pokémon easier is to kill the competitive community, cause quite frankly they ruined the game for everyone lately.
    Also I'm positive even if gigantamax came first, people would still prefer megas, a 4th evolution or an evolution for legendaries were a concept as old as the very first generation, and megas were basically that, only thing that could compete with megas might be regional variants, but those too could work alongside megas, and maybe fusions can compete too, but those will never happen except for legendaries

    @Saiyagurl 5 месяцев назад +9

    7:01 YES! I have to agree! One of my biggest gripes about Dynamaxing was the base concept of "Bigger is Better". Just because your pokemon grew the size of a skyscraper (or turned into one) shouldn't automatically mean you will win. Also its basically Mega Evolutions but bigger because some of them change their forms too. Terastallization wouldn't be so bad if the "hats" didn't look so outlandish and it replaced the move Hidden Power, but that's just me. Z crystals at least has lore behind them, but if I'm going to use something one time, I'd rather it be a full transformation instead of just one move. I think even if Megas didn't come out first, the concept is still better. There's was lore, meaning, connection with pokemon and had the BEST advertising.

  • @elvinrivera5638

    Personally Megas don’t feel like gimmicks to me, they feel like something with proper world building and an extension or an evolution to what was previously there… All other gimmicks are kinda meh, especially when every pokemon can use it… Gigantimaxing and Dynamaxing was kinda cool because of the Kaiju aspect but personally I hated SwSh games… Z-moves hot stale real fast as they felt generic especially because of the not so great animations… Terrastalization as a concept is amazing, but I feel its just tacked on and with the crowns it feels even more so like a gimmick… Megas felt powerful, exclusive, unique and were beautifully designed giving the pokemon a new appearance, so they just felt natural, thought through

    • @QMS9224
      @QMS9224 6 месяцев назад +6

      Exactly, also the fact that you must hold an item is a pretty big restriction. What this meant is that you could bring 2 pokemon (say gyrados, salamence) and your opponent wouldn't know which one was mega. And vice versa, you could also bait out counter plays from your opponent thinking you might use a really popular mega, when really you built an unorthodox tanky build with a berry or assault vest. Idk why people called it gimmicky, I remember it being one of the most fun competitive environments online, and lots of teams to experiment with.

    • @christiancinnabars1402
      @christiancinnabars1402 6 месяцев назад +5

      Mega Evolution is obviously the most set up and popular gimmick (being the natural... I guess _evolution_ of Evolution, which has been a series staple since the very start), but imo Z-Moves did well as a side gimmick that went alongside Mega Evolution.
      For all the mons that weren't capable of Mega Evolving, they had Z-Moves to help them instead. Of course, there could have been better balancing between the two (IMO, you should have been allowed to use only one between _both_ mechanics in a given battle, so your team wasn't still always limited to at least 1 Mega Evolution mons like they tended to be back in Gen 6), but Gen 7 had something good going that could have been expanded upon instead of ditched altogether. Imagine 100 or so Mega Evolution choices and a slightly revamped Z-Move system that followed the way of Max Moves, trading some of the power boost (thus removing some of the cheese aspects of nuking a would be counter with a random 200 bp off meta attack) for some extra effects depending on the move typing - but without three turns of access to said boost and doubled HP.

    • @absolutezerochill2700

      I think the main problem of Megas is the inherent unfairness of only a select few pokemon getting megas (and said pokemon already being fan favorites 80% of the time). With terastillazation, Z moves and Dynamax it atleast feels like there's more strategy in it considering that any pokemon can have this powerful gimmick

    While I'm sure the lore helps, I think the main reason people prefer Mega Evolution is even simpler. It's the same reason people like regular evolutions in Pokémon, it's a visual manifestation of the Pokémon growing stronger, not just getting bigger or turning sparkly, but actually becoming something new.
    And because of that, just like it's exciting to imagine new evolutions for older Pokémon, it's just as exciting, if not more so, to imagine new Mega Evolutions.

    Mega Evolution is simply the best in my opinion For me personally I don’t care for competitive balance I know there’s many that do but I don’t , the designs for the mega are cool as hell, some Pokémon become strong enough to be classed stronger than some legendary Pokémon and actually get used like sableye and Mawhile and it felt like a new breath of life was introduced in the series like some of the Pokémon you can go even further beyond what you knew it does help that the Gen 6 anime and side special OVAs and the mega evolution specials really raised the hype level for what mega evolution is
    Z moves weren’t bad but at least you had the option to run both during it run in Gen 7
    Dynamax is just way too boring for me and Gigantamax doesn’t help just because the Pokémon become titanic in size and _can_ get double their own hit points doesn’t impress me if anything like the next one felt too much like it was just tailor made for competitive battles
    Terastalization is almost as boring as Dynamax but atleast gave me the wish fulfillment of a steel type Haxorus at the cost of that stupid as hat it wears and unlike Dynamax like mega evolution and Z moves you can use it whenever you want

Because with all the other gimmicks you can do them all with freaking baby pokemon. And everyone can do it too, so it kinda defeats the purpose of it being special. Where as mega evolution, because you're limited to what pokemon you can mega evolve, It feels more like an achievement to get your pokemon to mega evolve

    the last games i actually played on the proprietary console were Sun/Moon and USun/UMoon, and yeah i remember after having enjoyed X/Y and OR/AS SOOOOO MUCH being kinda dissapointed with Zmoves... yeah needless to say when i played Sword/Shield, fucking dynamax felt incredibly silly and uncalled for, also very disspointed to not have any mega evolutions, which were probably one of my favourite things in pokemon games (my first own game was alpha sapphire, which i played before going back to older generations, so the nostalgia factor for mega evolution is high)

    Actually only the Z-Moves need bond between Trainer and Pokémon, Dynamax is almost a virus to the Pokémon world that humans learned to use and Terastal, i'm not actually sure to be honest... I also wanted to say that the origin between the Z-Moves and the Dynamax is the exact same: Legendary is mortally wounded, pieces of it fly into the region and the Gimmick is created. Terastal is a little different, since it spread out of the Terapagos in Area Zero Underdepths and Mega Evolution came from the blast of the Ultimate Weapon. Calling Z-Moves more unique is mostly because Necrozma is PEAK Legendary Pokémon, i still love Z-Moves, but it's not that original. I also think the other Gimicks are used better for being usable by ALL Pokémon and not some like Mega Evolution: In that way we have NO Megas for Kalos Pokémon, we have TWO Megas for Charizard and Mewtwo.. Which honestly angers me...

  • @Pokefan-mz1zn
    @Pokefan-mz1zn 10 месяцев назад +2

    I've always been someone who doesn't hate megas but im not crazy about them either. Always just kinda annoyed me that people think their the best and some think their flawless and that the other gimmicks aren't valid or equal (mind y'all i just think their all important in their own ways) another thing that bothers me is the concept (at least in the manga and anime) of not having you have to earn mega and then them stay permanently like that after despite providing your bond and dedication. I can get the game reason since that's to broken. But the others don't have a excuse. (Side note on Tera) It technically does have a legendary Pokemon and lore connected to it in Terapagos. It's said that Area 0 is full of it's own self created energy due to its slumber down there and with Terapagos said to have been common in olden days it adds up why Kitakami has natural tera energy. 😉

    No offense, I love mega evolution, but I think it’s worse than Tera in competitive or multiplayer. Only like 15 or less of these things were ever good at some point, and only an even smaller number of them were consistently good.
    Mega Beedrill: That insane attack and speed is gonna be useless if you get one shot by mega Scizor bullet punch or mega Salamence quick attack. Plus, beedrill is a bug and poison type, the two worst types in the game.
    Mega Rayquaza: I don’t think he needs any explanation.
    Salamence: Gets bulkier, faster, stronger, and turns Double Edge into Brave Bird on steroids.
    Other megas are really broken and some are underwhelming.
    My first and only main series Pokemon game is Sword. I like its graphics, but I also just think Dynamax is a better mechanic because since any pokemon can dynamax, it makes more Pokémon viable.

    My theory of Giantamax and Terra is a pokemon mutation of their innate evalution limits why only pokemon can evolve eith an item or human intervention is because of pokemon high adaptability of theit environment one evolves to survive better in the conditions they are in and Gigantamax/Terra and other gimicks are just people manipulating pokemon genetics Giagantamax is made because of eternatus an invasive species as an alien poluted the original environment making the ecosystem of pokemon adapt to be able to take in Gigantamax energy to use against other pokemon as in space their infinite room to grow and the unique form are pokemon that have evolve to adapt with the new environment same with terraz with the I think meterior made of foreign terra element from also out of space mutated the are it landed micing eith the DNA of the pokemon and was used by pokemon to make up for their elemental or physical shortcomings and professors have been able to somehow make it practical in pokemon battles because it entertainment alot of wealth and research is funded by pokemon league to keep the entire industry so people use them to make their specific league unique from others same how each continent of coutry can have their own football league which is a billion dollar industry
