That's because it's an incredibly stupid idea.

---

Would prefer none, go back to 4th gen levels of power. But megas are by far the most interesting and cool. Z-moves could be cool, but just aren't.

---

I get that dynamax is supposed to be weird combo of mega evolution and Z-moves cuz I guess they want to phase them out but it's still really dumb >_>

---

I would prefer Dynamax, it allows many week pokemon to be more viable in VGC, Mega really just involved around Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Rayquaza, maybe other like Charizard and Salamence. Other Megas are basically a waste while every pokemon can dynamax and be viable.

Dynamax had that dope ass song but i think they are all pretty dumb

---

I hate all of them.

---

Megas had the potential to help out weaker third stage Pokemon. So naturally they gave it primarily to a bunch of powerful third stage Pokemon and several weak Pokemon with one or no evolutions...

Regardless, it's still way more creative than ONE POWERFUL ATTACK PER BATTLE! or THREE POWERFUL ATTACKS PER BATTLE AND EXTRA HP!

Mega evolutions > Z Moves > Dynamax

I thought mega evolutions were stupid at first, but I got used to it. It grew on me. It's a pretty cool mechanic, and for the most part it's not too overpowered. You can only have one mega evolution on your team, and some pokmon are better off mega evolving late game rather than right away.

Z moves are cool, it allows certain Pokemon to have better coverage that they wouldn't otherwise have. And its adds strategy. It gives pokmon access to stat boosts that it wouldn't otherwise have.

Dynamax is straight up stupid. Way too overpowered. The facts that all Pokemon can Dynamax doesn't help (Not all Pokemon can mega evolve). Smogon 1v1 banned Dynamax.

I'd prefer having a super move than a shounen power-up.

Mega Evolutions were much more interesting, mechanically speaking. Only one Pokemon could be mega-evolved per battle, and mega-evolving required sacrificing your item slot to a Mega Stone. In exchange, the pokemon in question got huge stat boosts(and sometimes stat shifts, as well). The designs weren't *always* on-point, but you did have some seriously awesome ones: Mega Mawile, Mega Charizard X(it finally gets to be a real dragon!!!) and Mega Ampharos come to mind. While Mega Evos were not always doled out in a way that made sense/to pokemon who needed the boost, I do feel it's worth noting that Mega Pidgeot was really good(and really neat: being a special-focused flier with No Guard, which makes everything 100% accurate, enabled it to spam a powerful STAB* Hurricane) and that Mega Beedrill took a pokemon that was an absolute joke and made it (played well) a terrifying monster. Moreover, it was actually much more balanced than Dynamaxing: though Smogon banned some mega evos, it never needed to blanket-ban the mechanic. It should also be noted that Dynamaxing simply makes the rich richer: pokemon with poor stats or poor stat spreads remain at least as poor as they did before.
Z-Moves were okay, and by far their biggest asset was how egalitarian they were: any pokemon could pack a nuclear-strength attack for some specific purpose. Perhaps the most interesting Z-Moves were the ones that provided or buffed stat boosters, which enabled some Pokemon to choose between nuking the opposition or buffing themselves. Again: unique Z-moves did not really go where they may have been most needed, but they were cool(and there's something legit terrifying about Snorlax rising from its eternal somnalescence to attack with great vigor and purpose).
*Same type attack bonus. If a Pokemon uses a move that is the same type(regardless of if it is mono or dual type), it does 1.5x as much damage.

I'm only disappointed dunsparce didn't get a mega evolution

Wow I found another person who wanted this. I always wanted Dunsparce to turn into a Normal/Dragon type with either a regular or Mega evo.
