Will every Pokemon get a mega?

[PrettyVenomoth]

Why do some Pokémon have Megas and some don't? why are there some mega stones for some Pokémon and not for others, they should all have stones and be able to mega evolve, yes? so why do random pokemon from each gen have stones and others do not, when will we get mega! all pokemon mega! how many gens will it take? or do you think they won't give everyone a mega evolution

 

[Muur]

Every final form maybe.

And nah I think they'll leave at least half without otherwise they wont be special.

Re: Will every Pokémon get a Mega?

I doubt every Pokémon will receive a Mega Evolution. Because otherwise it would ruin their rareness. Every Pokémon Mega Evolving would make it into something common and normal which from what the games tell/say it isn't. Who would want a Mega Bibarel? or a Mega Jynx? as of know the number of Mega Pokémon is just fine in my opinion.

Question, are Mega Evolved Pokémon actually called ''Mega Pokémon''?

I wonder if Game Freak makes more Megas, people will whine that there are too much Megas, I just wonder and ponder.

Why do some Pokémon have Megas and some don't?

I'll awneder with a question of my onw. Why do some pokemon have 2 evolutionary relatives and others have less?

why are there some mega stones for some Pokémon and not for others, they should all have stones and be able to mega evolve, yes? so why do random pokemon from each gen have stones and others do not, when will we get mega! all pokemon mega! how many gens will it take? or do you think they won't give everyone a mega evolution

They won't give all the pokemon megas, they won;t even give all the final stages megas. Once Gen VII starts the amount of new megas introduced per game will decrease.

ME ME but in my opion all final form pokemon should have megas

Re: Will every Pokémon get a Mega?

nope

I doubt the ratio will go above 1:2 for fully evolved pokemon, and I hope it doesn't, megas should be a fairly special thing for a pokemon to have.

Who would want a Mega Bibarel? or a Mega Jynx? as of know the number of Mega Pokémon is just fine in my opinion.

as much as I don't care about either of those it's not like they don't have any fans, mega evolutions shouldn't be based entirely on popularity, a good chunk of my favorite Pokemon are not really that popular at all

 

[aliveatnight]

I think only Pokemon who could benefit from it -read: weaker- should get it. I'm not particularly happy that already strong Pokemon like Tyranitar and Metagross have them, because they don't really need them.
Just my personal opinion.

 

[Osprey]

I doubt it. The mechanic would cease to be special. Avoiding this can be easy; they just retcon the upcoming generations into one of those alternate universes where the War of 3000 Years Ago never took place and Megavolution never came to exist.

 

[FullMoon]

Why would every Pokémon being able to Mega Evolve make it feel less special? You're still only able to use one Mega per battle and there's all that flavor thing about the bond between Pokémon and trainer being what makes the evolution possible. I don't think all Pokémon getting Megas wouldn't make it feel any less special.

That said, I don't think everyone will get it, simply because there's way too many Pokémon.

I don't see why Mega Evolution should be or has to be special anyway, it's essentially just a power-up/temporary evolution. It's like arguing that Spinda, Corsola etc shouldn't be given regular evolutions because then regular evolutions will be less special if every Pokemon has one. Given the fact Pokemon like Beedrill have a Mega, it seems pretty obvious we're past the special stage and the only reason they're not giving us loads at once is because it's easier for them to introduce in smaller batches (and also gives them ammo to promote later games since they can just chuck a bunch of Megas in and rub their hands as they pull in the money). I don't think every Pokemon will end up with a Mega by any means, but at the same time I don't see the argument "it won't be special" as holding any water at this stage. It'll probably end up like regular evolutions, where some Pokemon will inevitably miss out on it.

Megas are a way for them to add "new" Pokemon to games without actually increasing the total Pokedex number. Which is a big deal now we're reaching such a large number of Pokemon. So if you think they aren't going to capitalise on that and milk it to keep the franchise running longer + making it look like there's more new content then I question your logic.

Will every Pokémon get a Mega Evolution?

Why would every Pokémon being able to Mega Evolve make it feel less special?

I know of a certain other media franchise that also ends with ''mon'' and has tons of ''Mega-this'' ''Mega-whatever'' and Mega Evolution there isn't special anymore. Honestly I vaguely remember that show but it was good.

I'm not particularly that already strong Pokémon like Tyranitar and Metagross have them, because they don't really need them.

Tyranitar is pretty hard to take down, now that it has a Mega Evolution it's very overpowered (I haven't actually fought one though). Same goes to Metagross.

it's not like they don't have fans

I do know that some people like Bibarel, it's completely understandable, I like Bidoof more than Bibarel but you that Pokémon looks shall I say ''cute''. I don't know if there are fans of Jynx, I sure don't like it's creepy expression...

they just retcon the upcoming generations into one of those alternative universes where the War of 3000 Years Ago never took place and Megavolution never existed.

This here sounds like a spin-off that I would buy. Talking about spin-offs I would sure love too see a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game with three things:

• Include every known Pokémon.
• On 2D
• Mega Evolutions

 

[Slow]

I hope not. Mega Evolutions feel like a cop-out, giving only certain Pokemon lines Mega Evolutions and completely ignoring others (Mega Beedrill but no Mega Butterfree? What?). It's also far less original than completely new Pokemon or new evolutions altogether. Of course that is just my opinion.

But as for the actual possibility of whether there will be megas for each Pokemon - obviously, no, since the only non-final-evolution mega that's remotely likely is Pikachu. However let's assume it's just all evolution lines (including ones that don't evolve) - I still don't think they will. I think it will be limited to a few dozen Mega Evolutions in every new game and they won't eventually release one for every new Pokemon. Just doesn't seem like that's feasible.

 

[PrettyVenomoth]

To the people saying it would make them less special, what does that mean exaxtly? how do they decide which Pokemon get to be special?

Most popular pokemon get megas? then why Beedrill and not the more popular Butterfree? is it weaker pokemon? then why no Sunflora mega and one of the most powerful pokemon Garchomp gets one?

It's like they just roll the dice at the office when it comes to picking who to make Megas for... Their is no seeming strategy behind it.. no logical order or pattern.

Gamefreak and all other parties must be rubbing thier hands with glee, they can keep making slightly less pokemon each gen but releasemegas to make up for it. They are pribtibg money. We will be forced to buy every single game to reach continuity becase. ..

It further splits apart Pokemon, it will become silly say if say Butterfree gets a Mega in Gen 11 and you have all those games where other Kanto pokemon can mega evole but not all, till slowly they all can all mega evolve, which forces you to buy the next game for balance.. and then the next for new gen 2 poemn and so on..

They have us all by the balls.

Continuity tome seems to going out the window. Is the explanation of Mega not, "when one has strong bonds with pokemon and a stone" why is it that only fully evolved forms can have megas, if Ash has a strong bond with Pikachu, he cant mega evole it because its not already fully evolved..... And if Pikachu does get a stone then surely it would be possible for all stages to evolve? like a Metapod stone, is there any reason why I cant have a strong bond with my lv 100 Metapod and make it mega evolve? it...just raisies to many questions......

It's not in any way similar to some pokenon evolvinf twice and others not, that is natural mega evolution is un natural.

Where do these stones even come from? does someone make them? do they take requests and get paid?

What makes Slowbro more special then Duotrio

Then should have released all gen 6 with megas and should have done gen 3 the gen 1, so on, all at once

The Kanto remakes if they happen, will retcon rgibgs again probably giving Mew a mega form..

 

[King Robert]

If they make Mega Sunkern or Mega Sunflora, I'll eat my hat.

That's the thing. The Pokémon that have received mega evolutions so far are definitely the more popular ones. Charizard, Lucario, Alakazam, Steelix, Slowbro, Garchomp, Absol, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's a useful, interesting addition and a game-changing mechanic in multiple levels of play... for some of these Pokémon. You'll find many, many complaints on this very site that particular Mega Pokémon are impractical, gimmicky, or just outright disappointing. There's even been backlash about the sloppy design of some of the sprites. A lot of the hype surrounding them too has led me to believe that the Mega Evolution is mostly being used as a marketing device, especially in the latest games.

 

[Deadman]

If you ask me, I'd say in the end, every final evolution will get a Mega, maybe even some stage evolutions (wouldn't surprise me). If I like it? I'm not sure because some really don't appeal to me, but oh well. Is as it is.

 

[EvilChameleon]

I doubt it. It will likely remain the ones that make the most sense. Plus, you don't want the land littered with hundreds of mega stones.

but there is no sense to it, they give random pokemon megas.

Beedrill = weak /unpopular
Garchomp = strong /popular
Sabaleye = no evoltion
Gallade = one stage evolution
Altaria = two stage evolution

It is all random, and it dosent matter if the land is littered with stones, if some pokemon in a certain egg group or type can mega evole all pokemon in that group should be able too since they share similar DNA

 

[EvilChameleon]

All the Pokemon you listed make perfect sense.

 

[FullMoon]

Gallade is two stage and Altaria is one stage, unless I'm interpreting it wrong.

Megas are usually given to popular mons like Charizard or mons that really need the boost such as Lopunny and Beedrill, though even those two aren't that unpopular, though Lopunny is popular for all the wrong reasons.
