One thing to remind on MegaEvo.
Mega-Evo is supposed to be a form achieved by bonds. It would be very backwards if N'tic dares to apply FOMO business model to a thing that lore-wise literally needs strong bond, as if your previous past one is completely incapable of doing the same despite being with you for much longer time.
Alternate form here will have to require a mechanic that does not enable missing out, as mentioned.
Or maybe only maxed Mons can mega evolve
I imagine they will just give us stones and ignore the friendship part, like the main games did
It will be likely the same for as growing happiness for evolving Eevee, that already works to improve the bond.Hmm, maybe only purified 'mons would have the capability to Mega Evolve. As far as I know, that's the one concrete way the game can be certain you've invested some effort into a Pokemon (apart from having something with a level higher than is possible to be caught at).
Remember, in the Games you have to Evolve Eevee into Espeon and Umbreon by growing Happiness during different times of the day, followed by a level up when you reach a certain theeshold.
Since happiness is achieved between a trainer and it’s Pokemon (winning battles, feeding it berries/puffins, etc.) they decided that a Walking Buddy officially does that. By walking a certain level of distance, that qualified as earning “happiness” which makes perfect sense.
Since Mega Evolution, like the Eeveelutions Espeon and Umbreon, are based on how strong the bond is with the trainer, walking a Pokémon would make the realistic (and lore wise) perfect sense.
Anyways, that solves that.
