The rest of the post was jokes about Charizard so I dunno how serious it was meant to be.

Are we sure that we don't have any regional variants / convergent Pokemon / new evo ?
Only new mega ...?
Only new mega ...?
Yeah pretty sure the post is a joke given it laments Charizard not getting a third Mega and calls Raichu GF's favourite
If it gets Contrary or some other busted ability, Malamar might not be the worst Mega.
If it doesn’t getting anything good it honestly will be the worst Mega. Worse than even Audino.
i'm kinda hoping scrafty gets multiscale myself. shed skin is a good ability and all, but it needs something a little more than that to be actually good as a defensive mega what with the 55 base hp or whatever.
mega absol was also one of the most marketed megas from x and y, too: it was one of the original mega reveals along with things like lucario, mewtwo, and i think blaziken(?), among others, and calem/serena used one in the postgame rematch. also, i would say that it's more than popular enough to count as a fairly "normie" pokemon, even if it's obvs not as mainstream as stuff like pikachu and charizard.
...Ok now I'm sad Galarian Slowking didn't get a Mega.
I'd understand Absol getting two megas back in XY (risky move but still fair); getting one ten years later sounds completely out of nowhere to me.
Not in the region and "remake" whose entire gimmick revolves around megas. Even if I'd love to see a regional Garchomp instead of a second Mega.
It's 100% getting a busted ability, those aren't the stats of a normal Mega. Even Audino has a less craptacular spread.
Fairly sure. As much as I'd love a new Beartic or Pangoro evo to match Ursaluna
This is what I was alluding to in my post earlier.
I'm surprised they put a c***** reference in that overtly, tbh.
No way is Nite more popular than Chomp, nostalgia or not. Dragonite has never really been a particular popular mon within the franchise. People were straight up lamenting Chomp falling out of OU for the first time. There aren't that many mons I'd say are straight up more popular than Chomp. I don't think Nite is more popular than Ttar, either.
I"m sorry but Smogon is not the entire fanbase lmao.
As Dragonite's number 1 fan, yeah no people do not love DNite like they do Garchomp. In fact, I think people like Salamence more. I would argue that of the first five pseudos, Dragonite is the least liked. Garchomp or Ttar being the most liked.
pyroar's mega design seems to appeal to nobody but starmie is pure goofy charm, game freak at their finest
maybe pyroar fans exist, I have never seen one (other than lysandre)
Sometimes these conversations about popularity come up and I don't think anyone has any grasp of how popular or unpopular a given Pokemon actually is.
e: This topic gets exceptionally funny when you start seeing posts complaining about Pokemon no one likes getting stuff like megas followed by people complaining about popular pokemon getting stuff like megas and also alongside posts where the undercurrent is "why didnt the pokemon I like get something"

I like the shouting lion.
The 3 Unova fake starters would had been memorable if there was more emphasis on triples. And rotation I guess, always felt rotation battles screwed triples over.
But yeah, those 3 need a bone, or something to do.
I've seen the waking animations now. it looks goofy and kinda creepy. But megas are a special occasion and a mega that's just goofy seems kinda like a waste and (for the lack of a better word) somewhat disrespectful to fans that waited years for new megas. I've seen many cool mega fan designs for Starmie and I think it's unfortunate that the actual mega came out silly
I think if it was longer legs + new colors and some new design, I would like it a lot. The concept GF goes for is fulfilled and so is fan anticipation
Yeah it is hilariously disliked. Though from Concierge I do like the base forms more. Honestly give the simis evolutions and make them better and I'm sure they can be salvaged. Also on Mega Starmie, silly megas have always existed Mega Slowbro, Glalie, even Ampharos to a certain extent.
They are already at almost 500 base stat total. A mega would have them in pseudo ballpark. Their entire shtick is being insanely superior to the Unova mid-evo starters but being limited due to being stone evolutions:
EDIT: Seriously, they have the stats of a budget Infernape:
They are meant to be good choices in-game, but turns out Unova is this powercrept place where you can get a daruma orangutan that punches holes in trucks with surprising ease.

Yeah I get the concept but seriously they could do with standard evos since they are just not good enough as is. And I'm pretty sure most in Unova get shot of them by Nacrene city before they even evolve. Plus given their three wise monkey inspiration they could do with an upgrade to make better use of that.
Just letting you know this move is called Nihil Light. Zygarde's 5th signature move lol
Dragon | Special | 100 BP | 100% accuracy
It's the move that can hit Fairy types and ignore stat changes
