Well……: the bit with Lysander and his Gyarados isn’t actually that unusual. In Pokemon Masters, the main thing there is sync stones which allows the bonds of people and Pokemon reach incredible levels. But one of the biggest indicator that a bond doesn’t just mean they love their trainer. In one of the stories, Giovanni was able to bond and become a sync pair with MewTwo who was going on a rampage. And the only reason they ended up bonding is because they have similar goals. Ruling the world. Thinking the world is pitiful and their arrogance makes them think they are fit to rule. They bonded through evil means. Which is why I don’t think it’s unusual for Mega Gyarados and Lysander to have bonded. Cause their goals are the same, to burn the world down.
This is from masters right
me and my cat want to take over the world why cant he mega evolve someone pls help
@@ChefCatClawhave you tried bonding with it or breaking its jaw?
i tried breaking someone elses jaw but im pretty sure my cat doesnt have a mouth@@santilata3306
@@ChefCatClawyour cat doesnt want to take over the world. It wants food, cuddles and occasionally to annoy you.
6:20 Mawile actually do eat with their secondary jaws. There's a Pokedex entry that states that, since the jaws don't have any tastebuds, Mawile will use them to eat food they don't like the taste of. I guess they must close the jaws around the food, dissolve it and then absorb the nutrients, sort of like a Venus Fly-Trap.
I'm surprised we don't have a grass type mawile by now
@@cammy649 Never thought of that, but yeah, it'd make a lot of sense.
@@cammy649i know I am late but carnivine and victribell are grass type mawiles
I always took Mega Mewtwo as creating its own stones. It saw something that "natural" Pokémon could do that it couldn't. Out of envy it collected Mega Stones from other Pokémon and merged them. If humans could do it, Mewtwo could do it himself.
i respect a pokemon who wants to do human things. even if its stupid
To be honest, Mewtwo is the type of Pokémon capable of taking those mega Pokémon without relying on it. But he's intelligent and curious too so ain't no way he will pass the chance to study them. If he can make his own building and Pokéballs, he can definitely do it.
This makes perfect sense, especially considering what Mewtwo does in the first movie (I do not know if that is cannon, though). He creates a giant laboratory, organises a huge tournament, and even creates powered up clone Pokémon. And he does it all alone, and I presume all on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It is also pretty nice that he ends up making 2 stones for himself, making his better than the natural phenomena that his idea originated from.
Go give this video a dislike he says charizard wrong
Considering the Pokemon Adventures manga, it's likely they are artificial. And that manga is stated to be closer to Satoshi Tajiri's intentions.
With how you described some megas as being like an accelerated Darwinian evolution, it made me think of the ultimate aliens from ben 10 ultimate alien. The ulimatrix took the alien dna already in it and simulated millions of years of war to evolve the aliens into a peak form based around combat.
Tbf Pokémon evolution isn’t even based off evolution it’s a metamorphosis so trying to see the practical evolutionary benefits is pointless since they’re morphing for a temporary power gain not a new survival benefit
@@boshlovely2002 metamorphosis is just an evolution during lifespan. "temporary power gain not a new survival benefit" sir, species do morph for a new survival benefit.
@idk4435 they morph by chance, the survival benefit isnt guaranteed, just passed on by having more surviving carriers. evolution is entirely random mutations passed down by gene carriers.
Go give this video a dislike he says charizard wrong
@@idk4435Yes, SPECIES morph for suvival benefits. As in, populations of individuals change over time. Thats what darwinian evolution predicts. Pokemon evolution has always been completely seperate from that, since they evolve as individuals (which biological evolution doesnt allow). And mega evolution is even less similar to that, since its a temporary change (again, completely unlike biological evolution). Also, the entire concept of cramming hundreds of thousands of years of evolution into one rapid change is flawed, since it lacks one of the biggest aspects of biological evolution: Changes in selection pressure. If the conditions a species is adapting too is remaining the same for a very long time, those changes slow down over time (since the organism is apparently already adapted to this environment a lot, which means the environment will not aggressively weed out a lot of individuals). If you have massive changes happen over just 5 seconds (pokemon evolution), there are not different selections pressures and environment to adapt too. Also also, if Pokemon species actually changed over time to conform to selection pressure, wouldnt basically all pokemon develop secondary types that are specifically there to combat its natural predetors? With pokemon types being a massive rock-paper-scissors game, its pretty clear what types would eliminate its current elemental weaknesses, massively favoring mutations that add these types to its own.
I read somewhere that they started making the pokedex entries for mega pokemon "painful" in the USUM games to make the goodbye to Megas easier because there was no mention of pain (as far as I am aware) in X & Y and ORAS
Megas didn't actually have Pokedex entries in XY and ORAS if I remember correctly.😊
Megas didn’t have dex entries in XY or ORAS, only SMUSUM and Let’s Go P/E. I didn’t look at every mega’s entry but of the about 20 or so I did, if there was anything negative mentioned (pain, increase temperament, etc) it was only in the SMUSUM entries and never in the Let’s Go ones. Funny how the games that introduced a new mechanic that replaced mega evolutions had negative things to say about it.
@@SoaringxDragon tbf, the alolan games just have wild pokedex entries in general
And here's the thing. In X and Y, they literally say that it is the bond between the trainer and their Pokémon that affects it
i never understood that especially for the ones that gain strength like blaziken and lucario maybe for like glalie cuz his jaw is forced open but the other two i mentioned basically become saiyan versions
Mega Pinsir being the terrifying bug it looks has one of the most adorable pokedex entries [After Mega Evolution, it becomes able to fly. Perhaps because it's so happy, it rarely touches the ground]
Its also super exited about it, thus bouncing all over the place!
Well ig you can't spell Dopamine without doping
literally according to the dex it's basically saying it's life ambition is the same as Bagon's: Flying
Damn my boy just wanna fly and live life , pretty wholesome
wait poor bagon he doesnt get wings until 2 evolutions
Something I always liked was how mega pinsir’s Pokédex didn’t have any grotesque details about it and just said it was very happy to be able to fly
that's why m-pinsir is my 10th favorite pokemon
Charzaird x being made by artificial means makes sense based on how unfamiliar it looks. Also love the animation. Love to see a video about the ultra beast or Pokémon regions from previous gens.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unfamiliar? It looks the same with a palette swap
Mega Charizard X is so “dark and depressive guys”, and Y is much better (excpt on Lets go, where solar power was killed)
Especially considering that the other Pokémon to get two forms was mewtwo. It is a really good theory, and maybe with that logic, charizard was never supposed to get one in the first place…
I think one of the Pokedex writers was trying to quietly protest or make a statement about the either the ravenous fans or the pushy higherups. There's no real reason to surmise that Pokemon are truly suffering paradoxically from a bonding power. The designs themselves don't evoke pain or stress from transforming. Its an interesting addition though. I think a revisit to Unova and a return of N in the timeline with Mega Evolutions would be fascinating. That might be a great way to expand on the ideas and conflicts presented in Black/2 and White/2. N believing these Pokedex entries but seeing trainers who are so tightly bonded with their Pokemon achieving these and having to either find out the entries are false or exaggerated or that Pokemon Mega Evolved by love aren't in the pain that a forced evolution is.
I saw a theory a few years back that the people of Alola, being so reliant on Z Moves and not having natural Mega Evolution used it wrong. This is what lead to the horrible dex entries
Bring back megas Edit shit popping off bru i heard the news yall lmaoao
Agreed
Yes yes, let more pokemon suffer for our pleasure.
@@thecjgameworld4013my brother in Christ they’re pixels
@@timotum3712😂😂😂 so true
I mean honestly who at game freak said "yeah let's remove mega evolution and put goofy hats on the Pokemon instead"
I love the idea of mega evolutions turning pokemon to their more primal origins
Makes sense especially since Salamance's paradox looks highly similar to his mega.
@@Archdornan9001 technically we still don't know whether the paradox mons are actual past and future forms or are just a creation from the imagination of those (the expedition group/ researchers) who ventured into Area Zero by the Third legendary, no fossils for Volcarona were ever discovered and Walking Wake is an enigma in and of itself and also the raikou paradox, so the jury is still out on this one
Though i do lean more towards the imagination theory because the paradox mon are basically the cliche of "oh its from the future so it must be more robotic and advanced or its from the past and most look more wild and primal than what it looks like now" also just no, they left way to many plot holes in the game, like if a character in a video game calls it out on its own bullshit, you know something is up like how arven calls out the whole time machine thing but somehow the paradox mon "existed" before the machine, i just think these mon already existed here being born from the desires and wishes of the researchers of what they could find there and these ending up being what the 3rd legendary cooked up
@@Archdornan9001 also how could the scientists have seen Walking Wake and Iron Leaves even though they didn't exist the moment we found the books, also how actual Walking Wake and Iron Leaves look nothing like how they were described and sketched in the book and how they all resemble creatures from either dubious or paranormal magazines, literally a figment of the imagination being turned into reality
I'm pretty sure mega pinsir's pokédex entry says that it's so happy now because it can fly and it rarely touches the ground
they really just ignore anything that doesn't line up with the edgy interpretation
Go give this video a dislike he says charizard wrong
Mega Lopunny is probably supposed to be a gym bunny/cardio bunny.
cardio indeed
I think that cases like Lysander with his mega or Cyrus with his Crobat somewhat make sense. As one of Professor Elm's assistants said: When a Pokémon is raised by someone evil, it ends up becoming evil too. So the Pokémon probably sees the world the same as its trainer and empathizes with him. Like a Pokémon version of Stockholm syndrome.
Go give this video a dislike he says charizard wrong
I really wish they would do more with this idea.
I think Charizard X having the shiny colors (minus the red being blue instead) helps showcase the artificial nature, as the stone forces an otherwise rare genetic trait onto the Charizard in an attempt to make it more intimidating.
I love the fact that Mega Mawile has two mouth-like horns and Huge Power as its ability -- an ability that doubles its physical Attack stat. One for each horn. Also, there's that joke that "if the cockroach starts flying, nobody is brave enough to remain near it". Pinsir is a beetle, not a cockroach, but it does get the flying type and gets "menacing" through it.
I believe all about uncontrol, pain, agony and all the negative effects of mega evolution on pokemon that are written in the pokedex are the effects when they first do it for some pokemon.. and the bond and love between trainer and pokemon is needed to eliminate or reduce all of that, to the point that they can use the form well even though they only use it in critical situations and not for a long time. that's why in the anime they don't use it carelessly.. We know that Mega Evolution is their strongest form, and in many Japanese anime franchises and the like, when they want to use their strongest power or skill, negative effects will definitely follow. However, they practice hard to master it for the sake of the people they care about. Take for example Naruto with his Rasengan Shuriken, it is a painful and damaging skill that can even paralyze his hands making him prohibited from using the skill, but in order to protect the people around him he finally found a way to use it well.
i think that’s why megas are still my favorite gimmick lol, it makes me feel like i’m playing an anime
Mmm, i do not think so. The "bad" Pokédex entries are all in the Alola games, where mega evolution it's a foreing concept, just imported by overseas trainers. In that case, they just could have a bad impresion of the phenomenon, and think that the Pokémon it's suffering, just as a foreing could think that Z-Moves drain energy of a Pokémon beyond it's limits.
Go give this video a dislike he says charizard wrong
Honestly, I hated the fact that I could only see that Rasen Shuriken one time. It was EPIC. I was blown away by the intensity of that single attack. And then… “Ahhhh…so yeah, this move is a no-no……..sorry.”
Using Mega Evolution, Battle Bond and Z Move will give Pokemon so much power.
Big fan of these 3d models and animations! Very impressive. This whole video was great. Thank you!
My theory about Mega Aggron is that the mega evolution it's undergone causes it's core temperature to rise drastically, causing it to experience great pain as the phenomenon purifies the metals that make up it's carapace. The Filter ability is the result of its inner pain being so intense that it shows little to no response to outside stimuli.
WE DON'T USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT! STOP DOING THAT!
LOL@@Amelia4111
I still believe mega evolution was just an attempt to grab Digimon fans. Guns, artificial evolution, temporary evolution during battle, altering its type. In fact, Dark Digivolving results in similar effects, causing pain, torment, unnatural evolutions, and always seem to result in rage. And we see that they can be triggered by a deep bond with the tamer, forcing them beyond their natural form. Great video with lots of sad details about how mega-evolution affects Pokemon.
Its just to make you hate megas saying it hurts the Pokémon but from what most consider true that it dose not hurt the Pokémon but rather is activated purely by friendship
@@bresrkthis exactly Megas we’re considered good increases in power based of a close bond with the trainer then when they wanted to get rid of it all of a sudden it became a bad power that harms the Pokemon I’m inclined to go with Kalos’s interpretation of megas since they actually have a monopoly on it while the people of Alola don’t even really know how it works
🤓-you
@@willsmith-iz3hh as Long as I am right I don’t give a fuck
I can see your point, but Pokemon has no reason to try and grab fans of other franchises when they are the most profitable franchise of all time. It'd be adding a drop of water into an ocean.
Honestly if it is supposed to be a bond of friendship I'm just curious why they didn't make it a feature in the games that you needed to have max friendship with the pokemon that can mega evolve.
To annoying plus competitive players would kill them lol. Same reason why z moves cam still be performed without friendship even though both mega evolution and z moves are rooted in friendship
Pokémon never made it really easy to raise your friendship level with a Pokemon. Plus, I have a feeling Mega Evolution would be absolutely hated if, in order to use it, you had to maximize the friendship of the Pokemon you were trying to Mega Evolve.
I'd like to add on to Mega Lop, but it also becomes even more aggressive and will use its ears as weapons, where Lopunny is normally cautious and timid and doesn't like its ears being touched
One could probably argue that the story about banette being abandoned by a child is true...and the reason why it can be/is loyal to it's trainer is because the trainer took it in and cared for it so as a result it came to love it's trainer since they took them in after their original owner abandoned them.
What's wild too me is how 48 Megas isn't even a chunk of ice from a iceberg compared too 1000+ pokemon .. just a mechanic which will be forgotten with time .. until fan made games (literally the only thing holding pokemon games up) makes 100+ extra Megas *prays for Mega Flygon*
I'm a mega fan of mega evolution. Here's what I came up with since its introduction. The way I see it is the megas were observed at different levels of bonds. The easier a pokemon is to work with the more likely the researcher is to have a higher bond, causing the pokemon to experience less pain/suffering. Gardevior, Pidgeot, and all starters are some of the first pokemon you get early and will likely use for a long while, meaning you're more likely to have a strong bond with it. Alternatively, Gengar and Houndoom, pokemon you're likely not to come across under normal circumstances, meaning a researcher would have one transported to them for research purposes. So they wouldn't have much of a bond causing mega evolution to boost it's natural negativity or cause the pain/suffering we see in those. To support this, I will use the game mechanics as a reference. Specifically the point that you can have a pokemon you just caught mega evolve. Meaning a friendship or bond is not a requirement at all. If a bond is something needed then it easily could have been a requirement they could have added for the player. Also the timeline of the pokemon games are split into main and remake timeline. Both with their own origins for mega evolution for those timelines. The makn timeline where x and y have the main timelines mega origin explained and the remake timeline where oras explains the remake timelines mega origin.
.....So what about the fact that Mega Evolution is basically the user using stolen energy from dead Pokémon and (possibly) people? 'Cause thinking about it now, the ultimate weapon that was used also used the same energy that's used for Mega Evolution. Sycamore and Zinnia already hinted (In Zinnia's case she directly implied it) that Mega Evolution came into existence BECAUSE of AZ's weapon. And then there's the energy source being Pokémon that were hooked up and SACRIFICED to power it!
@@ceecee6521 Mega Evolutuon is the rest of the Infinity energy thats still lingering in the Stones (presumably comets) which came from the recoil of the shot. That would make alot of sense because its how physics work. You cant direct an insane amount of energy without some kind of energy or shockwave being emitted from around it. As I am really tired rn I forgot the word, but yes. AZs Weapon made Mega evolution presumably possible. I would even say it created the Natural energy as well, but thats a different topic.
i know alot of people have said this but, i believe the reason they deal with the pain in some mega evolutions is through the sheer bound itself, it gets some sort of self control through sheer willpower alone. why else are we able to use them? last resorts for our pokemon, and that they care about us so much; they put themselves into pain just so we have a chance of success. i believe thats the reason because, in the anime and in media its shown how deep a pokemon and trainers bond can go. and with katrina, her bond wasnt big enough with her lucario for it to control itself; causing it to go haywire as seen in the anime. high risk, high reward type of thing. tldr: they deal with the pain from the mega evolution so we have a chance to succeed. because they care about us that much. also, the artifical mega theory is amazing actually and i will personally take it as canon.
8:52 I can tell why it's hated, because of all the Unova Pokemon only him having a Mega it's weird
So true...
Yeah even pokemon like druddigon or accelgor would've been a better pick if they were going with popular picks cause they desperately would've needed it if mawile, ampharos kangashagn and even beedrill got alot better with it.
Mega Slowbro its Ultra Moon's dex entry says "It's pretty comfortable in there, too."
"Mega evolution hurts pokemons" Rayquaza mega evolving whenevr it feels like...
I love the visuals that accompany your analysis of each mega form

WE ARE GETTING MEGAS BACK BOIS
the pokemon absol was actually inspired by the doomfish, a fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean but when it appears on the surface a catastrophe would happened, in ancient Japan when this fish appeared it was hunted and killed because people thought it was the causer of destruction however, just like absol he simply appeared as a warning that a catastrophe was about to occur, because of this he was called doomfish. Being quite honest I understand that absol in his mega form has fur that looks like an angel's wings but even so I don't think he was directly inspired by this concept, however due to the lack of official confirmation everyone has their own opinion
The great thing is, official confirmation will never come causer they literally just don't care. xD Gamefreak even said "I think none of that stuff is really set in stone" when asked lore questions about SwSh. So.
@@Bossfightmedia realy ? lol still self interpretation is a thing, so everyone is entitled to its own opinian

@@Bossfightmedia so they Just created a game that they dont even know nothing about (lore wise) ? Uau I allways thought that pokémon devs maded their games with open storytelling on porpose so we could create our own interpretations, now i think they Just dont Care, and put some random shit in the lore and the rest is up to us(i dont know maybe i got that wrong)
@@davidfilipe4460 No, thats actually exactly what Happens. They make Random Shit Up and leave the Interpretation Up to us because Its *way* easier than coming Up with it themselves lol.
Here’s how I always seen mega evolutions they are dangerous forms to maintain and the long lasting issues in the form is more a problem when you allow it to linger longer than a few minute, or the average battle, it’s a forced evolution but unstable. Like the way it’s used in gameplay is dangerous but it’s also rare so the worse of effects of mega evolutions requires something like DAYS in the form not minutes or hours.
I still believe megas should stay, everything else can be generational.
I like how most mega go through horrible pain and then audino just becomes better at its job
I wish Megas were still THE gimmick. They were so much fun, and yes competitive took a hit, but in some ways became better. A pokemon like Charizard X was such a good way to surprise an enemy expecting a Y. Pulling out a MewTwo X instead of a Y was the same. Having multiple Pokémon who had mega stones was also a nice way to fakeout opponents as well. I miss it.
Mega Banette was so cute and was a much needed buff to Banette... Its criminal they took that away from it. Its unusable w/o mega =/
I have always seen them as a temporary power up, however some of them are truly weird, like kangaskan But mega mawile could be a normal Mawile evolution, it fits too well
Man after that intro and ive had the exact same thoughts about megas, i know i found the right channel. Cant wait to watch the video and maybe it changes my mind or see if it changes yours as well! Sub already well earned sir, i can see this video being a real treat
This is a great video, I learned quite a bit actually, and have some cool Mega Evolution theories for myself now! Definitely earned a new sub!
About Camerupt's M I have this headcanon that Maxie was the one to discover the stone (as he found it doing research at Mt. Chimney) and took inspiration/based his team logo on the Mega Camerupt M

29:58 quote so nice, you had to say it twice.
the footage showing off the forms is really good with the angles and settings, great job
Bro had something personal with mega evolution 😂.
Your consistent use of Dragon Quest music in this video just gained you a subscriber 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖 I LOVE how fitting it was for you to have put Empyrea's theme in the background of Pidgeot's entry!!!!! That was so freaking clever!!!!
There is a mystery dungeon game where you can use megas and if a pokemon is mega for an extended amount of time it will start attacking every nearby pokemon including your party members
Don’t worry…… MEGAS ARE BACK BABYYYYYYYY ❤
11: 53 "Infact it takes on the appearance of a wizard, one who sold its soul to be able eat icecream with five spoons at the same time" Best quote ever😂😂😂
I think Absol is so beautiful and its mega evolution just makes them even more gorgeous and elegant. They are a mix of both power and beauty.
Maybe Mega Charizard X pulled from its ancient genes while Mega Charizard Y pulled from future traits?
Your question about the conflict between how mega evolving is achieved and how it’s presented should reveal something. The horrible side effects of mega evolution and the bad lore did not come in until the next Gen when they wanted an excuse to stop making mega evolutions. Gamefreak just didn’t like the concept anymore because it gave them more work, so they wanted to kill it. For example aerodactly, it’s mega form is supposed to be its original prehistoric form and mega evolution brings out its true natural power restoring it fully. But in gen 7 they decided to change it to being this horrible painful change. Which the only conclusion then that that aerodactyl all suffered horrible pain their whole life in the past and had horrible worlds and infections from the protruding spikes. The original intent behind mega evolution was that the bond of friendship strengthened the power of the Pokémon. Taking their most prominent feature and enhancing it. But when they realized it was more work for them they retconned it into this terrible abusive vitriol so that had an excuse to not have to do mega evolution anymore because they were creatively bankrupt. And because of that they ruined the feature so gamefreak is likely to never use it ever again.
I just know that many of these pokemon get screwed over because of mega evolution, I don't if the pokemon trusts me enough to go through the pain, I won't do that to them.
Mega will forever be my favourite techinque in pokemon
What a well put out video, hope you reach 10k subscribers soon dude!
Absolutely love the animations for each mon, both 2D and 3D Also love you using the Apollo Justice Ace Attorney OST
"It's just the same Pokémon but more flashy" It's almost like that's the point 💀
most mega evos should have been normal evolutions for these pkmn.
Ugh Mega Audino is my favorite, it was nice to see a pokémon with no evolution line, to get a mega which gave it a pseudo evolution, plus making it a normal fairy type is nice too!
I think mega energy is more like a “divine” energy that “ascends” the pokemon to be closer to being a legendary pokemon to making more demonic or godly or it’s a more powerful and natural form of shadow pokemon making them more powerful then they normally would be
Bro megas were the best for them to still be relavent 10 years later
Quick question: Where are those high definition Clips of the Mega Evolutions from? Are those custom 3D Models?
Same question!

While in the games, they say you need a bond of friendship to mega evolve, thats simply not true. A pokemon can absolutely hate you and you can still mega evolve...
ngl mega absol should have just been a regular evolution
Ok real talk Mega Gardevoir and Lopunny That is the equivalent of GameFreak saying: "Yeah, we know our customers, and we stopped pretending like we don't"
Mega Evolution is dope in its own way, its is like going Super Saiyan on em.... On the other hand; If you would've said Gigantimax is trash, i would've understand it...
I wouldnt be suprised if we got a paradox pidgeot based off the mega like roaring moon
You know it’s surprising to hear someone say “I don’t like mega evolution very much”
After the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I firmly believe that most Mega Evolutions are what these pokemon were in the ancient past. A more powerful form to survive in a much harsher, brutal, and wild environment brimming with energy that no longer exists. But a form these pokemons have evolved away from in favor of these more energy efficient forms of present pokemon. The only exception to this is Mewtwo, being an artificial pokemon. But I like to think that either Mewtwo is smart enough to make his own mega stone (Mega stone X) or the labs made a megastone to make him a more successful mew clone (Mega stone Y).

Yo this video is fire, subbed 🔥
Thanks for letting me know there are 48 mega evolutions!
As a guy who played the games with mega evolution in it (IE: x, y, and oras) I can say that not all mega evolutions have questionable design and origins, but I do like the concept of mega evolution, if only it was more utilized, did you guys know flygon was actually gonna have a mega in oras but it was scrapped, I would have loved to seen the best flyer for gen 3 get a mega, and it will look cool its second place to shiny mega Metagross, who thinks mega evolution needs to return?
we need mega evolutions to come back for Gen 10
The biggest "proof" for Mega Charizard X being an artificial creation is in the Pokemon Origins Special. Dr./Mr. Fuji, who created Mewtwo, is the one who gives the Charizardite X to Red.
Another amazing video!!❤
Megas would be better as birth deformities. Regular Pokémon who were born with unusual features that make them unique. It would be sad that the problems with mega evolution would then be lifelong though…. *I’d prefer it not exist at all because it harms them. If it was harmless unique traits it would be better*
The thing that jewelers used to view gems is not called a monocle. It’s called a jewelers loop.
Plants produce energy from the sun. Fat requires a lot of energy to produce. Maybe Mega Venusaur has Thick Fat because the extra leaves give Venusaur extra photosynthesis and thus extra energy for extra fat. In my headcannon Venusaur can only temporarily stay Mega Evolved because Althought the plant produces more energy, it also needs more nutrients. And Venusaurs plant is planted in Venusaur, not in the ground. It pulls minerals from Venusaur's body, not from the soil. Thus staying as Mega Venusaur would mean risking nutrient deficiency.

In the games, Mega Evolution is just a Game Mechanic, but in the Anime, an Untrained Mega goes to what the Pokédex says. Lucario is the main example of what we saw what the Violent Tendencies were. Imagine Scizor, Banette, Houndoom or Aerodactyl? Without training, they fall to these Tendencies. Mega Evolution is no joke at all. You may train the normal evolution how it is, but if the Mega Problem isn’t solved, then don’t Mega Evolve it in the meantime.
the anime is not canon lmao
The Gastly line are ghosts who want to enter the physical realm. Upon birth, Gastly pokes his head in the physical realm. Then upon evolution, he manages to get his hands there, too. And when he evolves for the last time he gets his whole body in. However, when Gengar gets greedy and tries to evolve again in order to get an even larger spectral body in the physical realm, he could Mega Evolve, becoming so heavy that he once again starts sinking back into the spiritual realm. Gengar ought to have been content with getting his whole body into the physical realm. Ofcourse, this excess weight is a burden on Gengar that is too big too carry, thus causing him to have to revert back eventually.

Nice headcannon, I like it
To be fair, bonds with Pokémon make them do crazy shit. I had commented long ago on some other video about how a Pokémon's bond with their trainer is so immense and true that it causes a stable, painless mega evolution. If you all haven't noticed, only in the Alola region do mega evolutions are mentioned causing pain to Pokémon. My theory was that the people of Alola don't actually know yow to use mega evolution correctly because they have Z-Crystals. Why is tjis the reason? Simple. Energy levels. As one comment i read put it, Mega evolution is a permanent power boodt while Z-moves are a "Last Resort" move. The Pokémon using Z-moves experience a great and immense power surge that they immediately release as an attack. Alola has always had that and they got used to it. Mega evolution brings a different challenge than "Screaming for an extra powerful move". It's constantly juicing up a Pokémon with power, and it's only with the bonds of trainers that one manages to maintain their form. See for example the Pokémon anime X and Y with Korrina and her Lucario. When her Lucario first mega evolves, it goes mad with power and even attacks Korrina. Korrina eventually does manage to keep her Lucario under control in the end. On the other hand with Ash and his own Lucario. Obviously he had experience with his own Greninja, though it's obvious that when his Lucario mega evolved it was relatively under control. Why? Bonds. Ash bonds with Pokémon greatly, and it's thanks to said bonds his Pokémon are as strong as they are. Basically speaking, people of Alola use bonds to have their Pokémon survive and use their Z-moves and aren't really used to having their Pokémon staying juiced up. As in to say, the bond level required to mega evolve is much greater than to have Pokémon launch a singular powerful attack.
I loved your take on latios and latias, I've been always kind of dissapointed about their mega design comparing it to what they did with appletun and flapple which shares the same gigantamax form, but being twins and amplifying their special link mixing up their colors into one, it was there all this time and I wasn't able to see it
How am I just realizing that mega blastoise magically grew two shells on it's arms.
These animations are so Fucking good great video
I love the models, animations, and sets in this video! Megas will always be my favorite forms
the x mega stones being man made is crazy to think about being you find them in the version about the deity of life
Great video! Makes me want to watch TerminalMontage's Mega Battle video 😂 (in fact, that's where I'm going now lol)
So when it comes to mega evolution, you’ve got a coin toss of “in constant pain, incredibly violent” or “more powerful, almost natural evolution”
