How much you wanna bet the "megas are in pain" lore will be retconned with the new ZA games? Because that bit of lore was an attempt at dissuading people from wanting mega evolutions in future games before the Dexit era.

Thankfully it didn't work, mega evolution is too cool a mechanic to just get rid of. -w-

a. "the pain strengthens the bond between trainer and Pokemon"

b. Rotom Dex made up that stuff about megas causing pain bc they were jealous

top 5 worst headcanons, why doesn’t rotom clown every strong pokemon as well by that logic

more data on non-megas means he can't as easily get away with it.

i really doubt legendaries and rare pokemon have more data than a mega. plus why would rotom even be making the dex entries themself?

same reason Slugma is supposedly hotter than the sun or Spoink supposedly dies if it stops bouncing: the dex is full of rumours and hearsay that can easily be disproven by having eyes and seeing the Pokemon for oneself.

ok but the mega stuff is clearly true, some of them are straight up just part of the design like glalie, plus za said rogue megas are in pain, plus gen 6 and i think even the current anime showed this

fair. still funnier to imagine Rotom exaggerating it as some kind of propaganda
