For your asspain, yes.
I can only dream

>megas get replaced with synchro evolution
>it works exactly like mega evolution except that instead of changing the mon's appearance it simply adds a dragonball type aura around it
>all pokemon can synchro evolve simply by holding a synchro crystal
I'd be extremely upset
Why would you give a mon a mega before throwing them out of the game?
The idea of mega evolution isn't bad per se, but man if it's executed badly.
>most of them are useless, since you can only use one, some are situational like M-Swampert for rain teams and M-Charizard/Houndoom for sun team, but if you are not using one just because it's your bros' mega, there's no reason not to use the usual M-Kanga/Mawile
>the list of pokemon that have a mega evolution is too random, besides the promotional megas, like the starters and the legendaries, the others literally feels like spouted by an RGN
>some of them are given to pokemon that definitely just needed a regular evolution first
>the fact that they evolve via stone is too arbitrary and kinda makes the whole concept of having a bro/signature pokemon with a different form than the rest of your team
>they didn't even fucking managed to give every gym leader/elite 4 in Kalos and Hoenn a mega for the rematch, that could have been a great way to state their signature pokemon
>Charizard and Mewtwo have two for the sole purpose of selling mercha, I know they're popular but it triggers my OCD anyway.
The concept of having a signature bro with a special evolution is cool, but it shouldn't have been executed this way. Not by killing cross gen evolution and giving us a ridonkulous small dex in Kalos. The entire mega operation was a disaster.

I meant
>the fact that they evolve via stone is too arbitrary and kinda makes the whole concept of having a bro/signature pokemon with a different form than the rest of your team less powerful, since you can effectively mega evolve every pokemon you wish to mega evolve, once you've collected the stone.
Imo megas will still be in SM, but no other mega will be added and they'll be shoved in the postgame. Then they'll take advantage of GEN VIII soft/hard reboot and ditch them.
