I was thinking that maybe the names of the remakes have something to do with the megaevolution exclusives.
For example, if Swampert gets two mega-evolutions depending on the game (like Charizard/Mewtwo), their names would be Mega Swampert α & Mega Swampert Ω (like Mega Charizard X & Mega Charizard Y). That may be the reason why the games are not called something more obvious like Magma Ruby, 'cause the name of the evo would be something ridic like Mega Swampert Magma. Do I make sense?
