    So this is a debate I've seen quite a few times now. People say that Mega Evolutions are going to replace regular, cross-generational evolutions. And while this isn't necessarily true, there weren't any cross-generational evolutions in Gen VI other than Sylveon. What do you think? Will future generation still have regular evolutions of Pokémon from previous generations, or will they be entirely replaced by Mega Evolutions?

    I think that's quite possible that mega evolution is a new way of cross generation evolution, but gen 3 and gen 5 had no cross gen evo's either and Sylveon exists, so I don't see mega evolution as a complete replacement.

    I personally like regular cross-generational a lot better than megaevolutions since I thought they gave a cooler twist to the Pokémon line compared to the mega. I would be kind of disappointed if they did get rid of the regular, so hopefully not.

    To be perfectly honest, I don't like megas all that much.

    They're cool, but they're not for me, since I'm not a battler XD

    So I'd be pretty disappointed if mega-evolutions flat out replaced regular, cross-generational evolutions.

    I dunno. It's possible, outside of the Eeveeons, that all evos will now be Megas, but that isn't set in stone.
    I think most of them are just... they add nothing to the design. However, there are some cases like Mega Slowbro where the Mega form actually... detracts from the design really.

    I think that mega evolutions are cool and all, but part of Pokémon is raising your Pokémon and growing with them not using a mega stone for one battle.

    I really like Mega Evolution so if it does replace cross evolution I'm all for it, however I'm sure we'll still get some new evolutions as well.

    I think Megas can be pretty cool, but I'd rather actual regular evolution. I think they need to tone down the amount of Megas, I think only a handful of Pokémon should have it. Give some love to other Pokémon Gamefreak, and give them proper evolutions.

    Seeing that Megas are a gen 6 thing, I think its possible that we would receive normal evolutions. I feel that Pokémon like dunsparce don't need a mega rather a regular evo.

    I like Megas a lot! I assume they'll only be using Mega evolutions from now on, but it's fine if they make normal evolutions as well. :)

    I'm personally a little indifferent about it. On the one hand, new evolution's would be great for Pokémon who could use them (Klefki perhaps?) but on the other, Megas are a great way to make Pokémon who are already fully evolved better (Beedril really needed that mega).

    Really, what I'd like to see is a mix of the two: Megas for the Pokémon who need them (for those that couldn't really have an evo, like Milotic) and evos for others, perhaps changing playstyle (Klefki is a spikes user by nature, but an evo could make for a nice change to its standard gameplay)

    I have never said this, but I don't know if they will add mega evolution next generation again. You can't transfer items, so they could get rid of it.
