Just want to point out that Charizard is just as overused as the Lucario.All I see are complaints with no substantial solutions or alternatives. What the hell do you guys expect. Out of all the Mega Evolutions, Charizard is one of the few that is, I guess you could call it anime-hero-boy-companion-"don't give up!"-can fly too-ish. This show is targeted to a young demographic. That means little boys and girls (mainly boys). Do you think views would be higher with lets say a Mega Heracross attempting to blast things with rocks or seeds? Or a Mega Manetric with an overgrown coat zapping and burning things to death? I for one cannot picture a series where the main character walks around with a Mega Venusaur all day, or a Banette. Garchomp would be cool if it didn't have sickles for hands.
Charizard at this point is the best candidate. It is a well known Pokemon that appeals to most young boys imaginations. Not to mention the writers can have it do a vast array of things with its wide moveset. Causing earthquakes? Throwing wind blades? Harnessing the power of sunlight? A plethora of fire techniques? Usuage of tail as a weapon? Flight based techniques? Physical moves from breaking bricks to slashing with powered up claws? All can be done with Charizard X.
Charizard Y is more special based, thin and aerodynamic; it doesn't radiate the even physical and special capabilities that X does, anime speaking.
Unless you can think of an alternate that would be just as popular and successful as Charizard in this regard (not appealing to the desires of older fans on this forum),then be my guest and voice your reason.
If not, then stop complaining and be appreciative that the writers are apparently going to include every current Mega(as it is the protagonists desire to defeat each one) and that one way or another you will see it battle.
Peopple here are discussing how to make a good series and making a good series is not overuse a single pokemon(Charizard)just because it has a good design.
As for ideas for other main Megas:
*Mega Pinsir: The thing can fly, it has bigass horns, it can take things down with cool physical moves it can use flight based strategies and it is not overused. Would work great.
*Mega Blastoise: The design is better than that of Charizard and Blastoise is almost as well-known. Which ten year old boy does not like a big turtle with big cannons everywhere? It can use both special and physical moves and blast foes apart with those cannons. Good choice.
*Mega Abomasnow: The coolest Mega-design, can use physical and special moves, can summon snowstorms as well as heal itself with Grass type moves. Can be great.
*Mega Heracross: That nose...
You get my point? Charizard is a stupid choice and there is many others who would be great. This is pure overglorifying and overusing a cool pokemon which is already overused.
Yeah but I'm sorry. I just don't see them writing a series of specials based on Mega Heracross, Pinsir, and Blastoise. Pinsir looks down right demonic and ugly, Heracross looks too sluggish, and Blastoise is already owned by Siebold.
Anymore candidates?
Sure. But you missed the Abomasnow.
*Lucario: Do I need to explain this one? But Korrina will probably have it.
*Blaziken: It looks badass. It has these flaming whip things from its arms. It is fast, powerul, canuse physical and special.
There you had some good candidates. And why not trie something new? Pinsir may be ugly but who knows, it might get popular. Or let Alan fight megas with usual pokemons. Anything is better than Zard right now. Except for Pikachu.
Abomasnow falls in the same category as Heracross in terms of being slow, big, bulky, and a moveset that will most likely consist of two types of moves. Besides no one wants to see a battle where Snow Warning is whipped up 24/7 or battles in which its Ability is ignored (yet again).
Lucario is overused: Maylene, Riley, Cameron, and soon to be Korrina who will undoubtedly Mega-Evolve it. So that's an unlikely no there too.
I can see Blaziken. I actually agree with that. It kicking or punching things in the face (a la Ash's Monferno) would be pretty epic, with the occasional fire.
Mega Ampharos could work.
