You guys defend Fairy the same way SJW defend minorities. The downvotes are not based on the typing. See Mawile for reference.

Also @Thundermaze it is not hypocritical to claim one pokemon deserves a mega and another doesn't. If your argumentation is about pairs of pokemon that should receive equal treatment, I'd have to point you towards Beedrill-Butterfree, Pidgeot-Raticate, Gyarados-Milotic and Altaria-Flygon, all exampes at the top of my head. 

Since I am the one who made the actual list in this thread I have an obligation to respond to your attack.

 

@Dragoknight are you copying my Oshawott shield? Do you think it will worK? 

It would, but I have to make a point.

Shit. Garde down! Well, at least it worked for two votes.

 

Also, I wouldn't necessarily call Pidgeot and Raticate  a pair, but you make a good point. Although I still feel both 'mon in a pair deserve a mega. If not, then one falls into obscurity while the other in the pair becomes objectively better (mainly seen in Butterfree vs. Beedrill). Benefiting one while completely ignoring the other is kinda hypocritical, if you want to be fair. Just because it happened, doesn't mean its okay.

Certainly. At the same time I'd argue that giving a pokemon a mega, just because they happen to be paired with a pokemon that already received one, is an attempt to cover up your mistakes. See M-Gallade, a mega I personally like. It got a nice design and pretty balanced improvements stat-wise, yet the ability is seemingly useless. Given most megas's boosts (and ultimately their uniqueness) stems from their abilities, you'd expect from Gallade to receive similar treatment to Gardevoir who boasts a boosted STAB Hyper Voice, which bypasses substitute, and hits both opponents in doubles. Sure, M-Gardevoir got a +20 in attack, but that's an obvious balancing tactic.

 

 

Do you think Gardevoir was the only one that got useless boosts

 

1) -10 in Spe for Heracross and Garchomp

2) +10 Atk for Alakazam, +20 Atk for Charizard Y, Blastoise, Camerupt and Ampharos, 
3) +10 SpA for Pinsir, Aerodactyl, Scizor, Banette, Metagross and Swampert, +20 SpA for Charizard X, Kangaskhan and Medicham

note: I'm excluding pokemon that can function as special, physical or mixed attackers (eg Sceptile)

 

2 pokemon received decreases in vital stats

7 pokemon received small increases in useless stats

7 pokemon received big increases in useless stats

 

16 pokemon share the same fate as Gardevoir, but for some reason they apparently don't matter, and we're targeting Fairies specifically.

Remember the types one? Enough reason to believe it is mostly based on them being fairies. and just wait for mawile to get hit into the ground, that's coming.

Considering other Pokemon hit the sack wayyy before Gardevoir did, that's a bit of an overreaction. More than just a bit honestly >_>

@NickCrash They all can get Mega's,

I am fine with that,never told they should not and they are not pair like Ralts line,that's a bit of a stretch tbh,

Gardevoir and Gallade share the same evolutionary line,the others don't.

All i am saying if Gardevoir did not need Mega then Gallade too,

Also i made a made-up Mega in that Custom Mega Pokemon thread,you can't find anyone more than me would like to see a Mega Butterfree.

Like for real it's just a speculation from you. Rather ask the ones who actually hurt Gardevoir, why they don't like it. They have obviously other reasons, than it beeing a Fairy.

 

So give Mega Shuckle Stance Change and it can be a Uber :)

I like it! I feel like the ability should have a different name tho since Shuckle isn't female only, maybe like Shell Shield or something (have it just be a clone of Queenly Majesty).

The only problem I see with that is the way the hp is determined when the form of a pokemon changes. It's not percentual, if you have form 1 with 50/100 hp and you change to form 2, which has 200 max hp then the result would be 150/200 (like it happens with zygarde and power construct), so if it works the same way backwards and you change from shell stance 80/120 to strike stance with 20 max hp the result would be -20/20. That's why megas never alter the hp stat, because it would cause all kind of issues and the only way to get around them is to have the pokemon recover hp upon changing from a form with a higher hp to a form with lower, which would be kind of broken specially if that change happens in the middle of the battle.

Fairy is my least favorite type and I honestly don't like Gardevoir's design. I also tend to dislike the overhyped ones. My target list was:

- Blaziken

- Lucario (overhyped + broken)

- Mewtwo X (not needed + ugly)

- Zard X (again not needed but ngl I like the design)

- Gardevoir

 

I don't like Mawile either but I wanted to get rid of the unnecessary ones first. But truth to be told I went after Mawile exactly because of the reason you mentioned.

 

Every single time someone hurts a fairy type or fairy leader there's nothing but bitching and whining. The types hurt and heal was weeks ago and yet it keeps coming back as a 'reason why'. It's getting old and annoying real fast. So either I leave Fairy's alone and save us from the salt and the whining or I get rid of them early to get it over with. Because no matter what, apparently we're not allowed to go after them.

 

If you can't handle your favorites being targetted, stop playing imo. And get over it.

@Chim @Thundermaze

The thing is, if it's a Fairy and it's targeted, no matter the reason, the person is going to be branded a Fairy-hater. Hence why I mentioned the SJW similarities.

The argument of "who deserves/needs a mega" is totally subjective, and thus needs to be debated on such a premise.

If being a pair is an argument, then is should apply to all obvious pairs. (see Gyarados/Milotic or Lucario/Zoroark)

If being part of the same evolutionary family is an argument, then it should extend to that. (see Glalie/Froslass)

 

I too wanted to see a M-Butterfree and a M-Raticate. All I got was a Dark/Normal fatter and less usable Raticate-A. Feels bad.

Nevertheless, I'm not going to exclude a mega because of the fanbase. 

 

In general, if you're not a Normal or Grass type, receiving Fairy as a subtype is an improvement on its own.

It seems "red" has been here. Let me fix that.
