Lol I know it was before megas were created, that was the point! I suggested something quite reasonable, but different from the norm and everyone went mad because it's never been done before. People even said "too much like digimon", "unnatural" etc. and THEN gamefreak do something even more gamechanging and arguably quite overpowered (mega garchomp :/, mega kanghaskhan :/) proving everybody wrong. I mean, I suggested giving things that need it (like beedrill) a little boost, but gamefreak took many of the most powerful pokemon (gengar, alakazam, mewtwo) and gave them huge boosts! 4th stage evolutions can't be deemed impossible or dismissed, because mega evolution (a similar, but perhaps unbalanced idea) is even more outrageous, and yet it was implemented!
