Regarding the Pokedex entries for Mega Evolved Pokemon...

After playing through Pokemon X, I've thought about how Mega Evolution really works and why the Gen 7 games tend to make it sound so horrifying.

You may remember that the Gen 6 games mentions that a strong bond is needed for Mega Evolution to work. What if that's needed to ensure it works properly without any drawbacks?

The Alola region specializes in utilizing Z-Crystals, so they probably wouldn't be used to putting Mega Stones and Mega Evolution to use in battle. Since they theoretically wouldn't know that a strong bond is needed to make it work, it often leads to Mega Evolution going horribly wrong, which gives credence to the Dex entries from the Gen 7 games. Those who live in Hoenn and Kalos would already know that a strong bond is necessary, so they're able to use Mega Evolution with little to no problems.

This makes like no sense. If there's any region where they do bond strongly with their pokémon it's Alola. They keep their pokémon out of the balls, they form strong bonds for Z-Moves, their entire culture is about bonding together and sharing.
