You get an evolution if your name is Eevee.

You get a mega if it's still Gen 6.

Gamefreak doesn't give a shit about any of the features they introduce beyond the generation they're introduced in.

Put pictures of every pokemon on a wall and throw darts.

All of them were either popular at one point, or had previously wasted potential.

How did they not know about basic evolutions of different Pokmon in red and blue? They knew basically nothing.

Still can't get over how ugly Mega-Sharpedo is. I mean, there are some really questionable designs here, but that's got to be the worst.

they had a dream and used it in a real game next

I like that Mega Gengar finally makes Gengar not look like a serious downgrade from Gastly and Haunter

They do pretty hardcore market research surveys to find out which pokemon are popular and which are not, and go from there.
Unfortunately it's mostly just Japan the gets polled so things that are popular in America but are unpopular in Japan aren't necessarily going to get a buff yanma

No one asked for mega audino tho
