You based it on the same rules that Megas followed. You said so in your post. I don’t see Mega Pikachu and Mega Meowth, so by your own logic they would not be getting G-Max forms despite a very reliable source telling us they will.
Sadly true. Why else did Pikachu get more than ten formes, two Z-Moves and his own game in two gens?
prog says it best
prog rocker was talking about forms and Z-moves. You were talking about Megas.
It's the same logic. Popularity of the two is enough to provide fanservice for them to get new forms. In other words, they're exceptions.
But popularity wasn’t enough for them to be exceptions for Megas, which is the line of “rules” you were using to define G-Max. If G-Max were using the same rules as Megas, there would be no exceptions.
To be fair, a Mega Evolved Pikachu wouldn't be a Pikachu anymore, it would be something else. According to the leak, Pikachu's G-Max form is just retro Pikachu.
Not sure I follow. A G-Max Pikachu is “G-Max Pikachu” whose appearance is described as retro Pikachu. A Mega Pikachu would just be “Mega Pikachu”.
Charmander can't help the fact that it's the best starter. ;P
My "only one Pokémon" playthroughs say otherwise. Damn Stone Edge and Sturdy.
Even as a Charizard lover, I admit he's the hardest pokemon to use in a playthrough of Kanto.
XP Oh I don't care about how it is battle-wise- for fan appeal, Charmander is clearly the best.
I was thinking that they need to give it a new design, so it wouldn't look like Pikachu anymore. But you're right, they can give it a Mega Evolution that look like retro Pikachu if they really want.
Not just Kanto. I did one with Charizard for every game. Kukui almost left me in tears due to the frequency in which he OHKO'd Charizard with Lycanroc. Or the times I faced a Pokémon with Sturdy only to counter with a Rock move. Using Charizard in the way I did was more or less playing in Hard Mode.
