I don't know if I buy that excuse since they could've had him capture a Pokemon from an older generation sometime around the middle of XY and had him Mega Evolve it. Space on his team wouldn't have been an issue, so it could've been done. They eventually had him use Satoshi-Gekkouga as a pseudo Mega Evolution, but I wonder if before that point they might have actually planned on giving him a Key Stone and simply scrapped the idea.
I understand Mega Evolution isn't required but two big characters (Ash's former Companions Misty and Brock) received Mega Evolution not in the same region where it was popular as it was never shown how they got it. Back last generation during the Sun and Moon run.
If Ash wants to be World Champion. Trainers from across all 8 regions will have access to their respective aspect. For example Korrina that's upcoming with Mega Lucario.
I see all 3 Mega Evolution, Z-Moves and Gigantimaxed Pokemon all being involved.
