Fixing Mega Evolution

How would you fix Mega Evolution to make it a more balanced inclusion?
GOALS:
>Megas must not be so good that you're forced to run one on every team
>Megas must still be a viable option to run
What do you do?

Leave them as-is.

>Johto Starters get them
No other changes

They just needed to give mega evos to shitmons that actually deserved it like Beedrill and Mawile.

megas were balanced out by the fact they need to have a held item. Held items are super broken with choice shenanigans and infinite recovery just lower some of their stats to make them less outrageous like mega Rayquaza and it's fine. Or make it when they mega evolve they have a single glaring weakness like poor special defense or bad speed even worse than their base form so it isn't a guaranteed sweep when mega lucario gets off a swords dance

Anything that was on a top 8 team doesn't get a mega.

don't change anything and just bring them back

by not having it in the game

I don't care about balance, I liked that everyone has an ace that transformed.

Mega Evolution was the peak of Pokemon, Mega Sceptile, Mega Aggron or Mega Mawile for example were some of the peak Pokemon designs, Mega Charizard X is a top 3 best ever Pokemon design.

Megas don't really need fixing for the most part, just give it to shitmons that could use that boost for good. For example I'd never give a mega to a pseudo (even if I see why they did that) but someone like Ledian would totally get one

Get rid of this fucking thing for starters

Give megas for all starters making them important glue of your team.
Give them abilities that support your team.

Megas as a concept are fine.
GF just made bad choices in which mons to give megas to.

>Megas as a concept are fine.
no they aren't

>b-but they can buff shitmons
shitmons get buffed to viability literally every gen even without megashit

So... why not just give normal ass evos to those shitmons, actually fixing their issues?

Beedrill is forever a shitmon without its mega. Ariados got "buffs" and it's still shit. Shut the fuck up.

>Beedrill is forever a shitmon without its mega
it was a shitmon with its mega too so nothing of value was lost

>an early game bug that evolves even before the first gym should be great

Thanks for outing yourself as a retard that doesn't play the games. Don't even bother replying. All of your credibility and validity as a human being has been revoked. Dismissed.
