is this Lockstin's worst video?
>Doesn't understand the appeal of a someone's beloved favorite Pokemon being elevated to the status of god
>complains the megas are temporary when the whole point is that it still your loyal mon beneath all the spikes and can return to the form you're actually attached to
>seems to think the thing people like about megas "new form" and not the super saiyan power up which is an anime staple.
>claims that regionals make a pokemon relevant when they do nothing for the original Pokémon and if anything just make the original look blander and/or weak in comparison
>claims that Pokemon don't need to be competitive to be relevant, and his argument for this uses Furfrou as an example, a forgettable piece of sh*t that game freak erased from the franchise for the entirely of Gen 8 and 9, aand even he himself calls it a "set piece" rather than an actual creature anyone could actually like "lets' objectify this dog"
The only arguments of his that hold water are the KANTOOOOOOOO basis (Which even this doesn't quite work because Beedrill and Pidgeot needed them), and how so few Pokémon actually got them (which can be solved by giving out more of them to three stage Pokemon that needed them and starters that got skipped), and how megas ruined competitive (which can be solved by rebalancing which they already were in the process of doing in SM).

It’s also surprising just how many of them looks so much worse. Swampert, Garchomp, Tyranitar, the Lati Twins, Aerodactyl, Sharpedo, Venusaur, Blastoise, Medicham, Aggron, Scizor, Houndoom, and so so much more are just flat out ugly when the mega evolve.
For ones that look better when they Mega Evolve, there’s like Bannette, Mawhile, and… I guess Audino? Maybe Sceptile? sh*t that’s hard to think of one.- Anonymous

yes, because you have to have a pokemon that's quick enough to get behind it in the first place. attacking it head on means that your attacks will do less damage and status moves are reflected, so it excels and fails in two different areas.

mega sableye still wins these battles easily 100% of the time, while the normal sableye strategy banks on RNG to not only hit the thunder wave, but get the missed turns too. both forms exist to explore sableye's concept in different ways and to have their own battle niche which is why as a sableye fan, i'm happy with its mega evolution 🙂

it's pretty self explanatory how it functions against others in pokemon battles. if you're only able to attack its front side because you're slow/heavy to jump back behind it or you're a pokemon that uses status moves, mega sableye is really strong. if you are nimble enough to easily get behind it, then you'll make quick work of it. a blastoise firing a hydro cannon and a lopunny who can jump over it and kick its back are going to have a dramatically time facing off against it, and being a mega evolution, it gets to retain the advantages of normal sableye and only needs to become mega when it's absolutely necessary for it to succeed.

damn, the pokemon that is constantly looking for gems in caves has a temporary battle form where it mutates to get a giant gem and explores a new concept. this is insane, game freak how could you....
>temporary battle form
Oh frick off moron. He loses 30 speed, but gains 130 stats in all other areas there is no situation where you would keep him as normal sableye outside of maybe the first turn you send him out for a prankster effect. Which means your whole "It's temporary, your monster goes back, it's fine" argument out of the fricking window, because every single time you use the mon it's going to megaevolve. There is literally no reason not to press the I win button, when you are sacrificing having a real held item. Which is why mega is sh*t. It's why dynamax is sh*t. It's why all battle gimmicks are sh*t.- Anonymous

And there is no reason to use normal sableye either because there are better prankster mon like Klefki or Whimsicott with better survival and utility. So now you have a mega and powercreep that are dwarfing this sh*tmon's stats and making him completely irrelevant. Thanks mega, thanks nintendo, you ruined my favorite pokemon. He could have lived happily filling a niche with his typing, but now you are just gimping yourself to use him without using mega. What a cursed fate.

Megas still suck because it's just a gimmick form that relies on GF being actually committed to it, which they can't do it for several gens in a row. And not to mention the fact that it literally robs single, two stagers, sh*tmon three stagers from getting a proper evolution that could've redeemed them. And on top of wasting time to "activate" it with a item that wastes a item slot.
I'd literally rather take 4th evolutions over gimmick stuff that you can no longer get in future generations.

Anti-mega gays don't realize the genius of this design. If you read the pokedex entry for it, Flygon's "Spikes" are actually many proboscis, allowing it to eat while fighting. That's why it's speed gets so much higher. Something that's completely lost on these haters.
You also don't realize that the spike on the head is a reference to Dragonite, as the lore states Mega Flygon is actually a divergent evolution from Dragonite. Notice it's 134 base attack? Not a coincidence.
Truly kino design.

Regionals are the most dogsh*t gimmick. They're literally replacements for the Pokemon you like. Oh what's that, your favorite isn't competitively viable? Well what if we make a new replacement that's overtuned for competitive or has an exclusive new evolution your old one doesn't have and makes it even more irrelevant?

it was just a half-assed excuse to justify closing the door on all the people who wanted their favorite to get a mega after the shillmons got them "Oh, but megas hurt! you wouldn't want to put your poor Pokémon in pain would you? Ignore the fact the the majority of Pokémon attacks could double as torture techniques soif pain is such a concern then there shouldn't be any Pokemon battles, or that the ability to become stronger in the middle of battle would objectively make battles less painful because you're significantly less likely to get beaten into a pulp if you can go super saiyan, or that Pokemon canonically like to battle so the pain being stuck as a worthless outclassed sh*tmon while CHARIZARD gets to go super saiyan twice is probably worse than whatever alleged pain megas give (and if Pokémon don't like to battle, does that mean plasma is right?)
