Wait , are you me ? <| sep |> Texas is fucking huge . Definitely not a law , unless you ' re talking small ass no where town . <| sep |> i feel like the only people who thought it wasnt about coke were soccermoms and 9 yearolds tbh . <| sep |> Yes and no . As far as missing new mega evolutions ? Not really ? Most of the pokemon you ' ll encounter are new ones or fodder like zubat and tentacool . New ones I feel were balanced better . I feel like all the good mega evolutions were for pokemon that weren ' t very good otherwise . Absol , Gardevoir , et cetera . And my BIGGEST reason for being fine with mega evolution being gone is because they just gave so many mega evolutions to already extremely strong pokemon that do NOT need it . And it blew . So I ' m glad we didn ' t get anything crazy like Mega Lunala or Mega Nekrozma . Though that leads me to why I do miss it . While a lot of mega evolutions went to horrible choices , legendaries and other extremely strong pokemon , it is inherently a rather cool mechanic that REALLY helped some pokemon out . i would ' ve loved if Mega Evolution returned if they actually balanced it more by giving it to weaker stuff . Playing around with a ludicrously powerful mega evolution is fun for a while but ultimately it leaves you disappointed that a more deserving pokemon didn ' t get the chance to be something worth using without being overpowered . So I ' m glad they ' re gone because they really didn ' t balance them well at all . But i miss them because they COULD HAVE balanced them well .
