I'm looking at it more from a perspective that the form itself needs to be redeemed, and that doesn't mean it needs to fight MC-X to do it.
If Goh was given the chance to use ME as well (granted i would personally prefer he not do it, since he barely uses most of his pokemon as is), and could only use one of his five, being the four bugs (Sycther would have to evolve first) and Aerodactyl who would you choose?
I get that. I never meant that it would need to fight MC-X in the literal context. I meant that if Ash's Charizard gets to Mega Evolve into the Y-version, there will be comparisons to Alain's based on association. I personally believe that to be an unnecessary thing, but likely to happen if that were the case. I find it unnecessary because the only thing that needs to be compared to Alain's MC-X is Ash-Greninja in a rematch of some sort. And Ash's MC-Y vs. MC-X debates would only function in a way to discredit Ash-Greninja's achievements due to Charizard Fanboyism.
I am more interested in Go getting a mega. He has many mons that can mega evolve and some of them are pretty cool.
He does?
- Beedrill
- Pinsir
- Heracross
- Aerodactyl
- Potentially Scizor
- Potentially Gyarados
- Potenially Pidgeot
Okay, yes. He actually does have some that have potential. I think the first four haven't been showcased in the main series in a significant role at all? Aerodactyl seems like a prime candidate for Goh to actually bond with (as is required). I don't see him bonding much with the bugs, maybe Scizor, but that needs work.
DP had so many interesting characters... want to see them in the anime again
There's really just Paul that needs to come back.
Some stray thoughts:
- Nando with Mega Altaria.
- Ursula switching careers and being a yakuza boss with a Garchomp.
- ZoeyxCandice having started family life.
- Kenny having fallen off HARD and has turned into this rogue figure that wanders around the woods near Lake Verity.
- Saturn having started a succesful bakery along with Juniper.
- Seeing Mars return from her fashion-internship in Kalos.
- Aaron being demoted to gymleader.
- Bertha's gravestone.
- The Battle Frontier Brains having a PROMINENT role.
All these stray thoughts have no chance of happening.
