Considering Sylveon was introduced along with the 28 Kalos Mega's, it could be argued that cross-gen evolution will remain very much alive. Then again the presence of only Sylveon implies a good-bye to cross-gen evolution. Although technically, Mega Evolution itself is a type of cross-gen evolution since it's the further evolution of a Pokémon from a past generation.
My personal thoughts are that both will remain. Sylveon was added this generation to show off both Fairy-type and Amie, much like Espeon and Umbreon showed off Night and Day and Friendship in Gen. 2. But since the focus of this gen is Mega Evolution, no other relatives have been added. I don't think any other generation will bring as many cross-gens as Sinnoh or Johto (at 29 and 19, respectively) but Kalos' 1 and Hoenn's 2 also seem relatively low. So I think about 8 cross-gen Pokémon might be released in Gen. 7 to accompany roughly 20 or so Mega's. But that's pure speculation.
And this is not a "Do you like cross-gen evolutions?" thread. So while you're free to let your personal opinions on them shape your opinion in this thread, don't voice them. I don't want to read "all baby Pokémon should be burned" or "God, not another Lickilicky". Thank you.
