So that is 21 Mega Evolutions to choose from, the tournament will have at most 16 participants, (currently only 9 have voted), i don't see what the issue is, it's not like any of them are banned, i mean year Mega-Bannete and Absol and Abomasnow aren't the greatest but they have their niches, prankster, magic bounce, snow warning, and it's not like any of them are even that great, personally my favourite is Mega Zard Y - but get rocks up and BANG 50% health gone, Mega Ttar is a beast but assault vest has it's place, Mega Garchomp loses its speed that makes it such a ebast at the added boost of some defence, meh, honestly there is a big enough pool to get a useful mega, but not one that will dominate either.
And because it's snake the person who gets
Mega-Zard Y will get last choice and end up with Aegislash etc
as opposed to the person who gets
Mega Medicham and Dragonite/Rotom-W/Talonflame etc etc
Mega's are quintessential X and Y battling, so we have to embrace it.
There were 20 people in the last tournament which means some people will be getting shafted in terms of the back end of the draw. Unless we're enforcing a cut off people will miss out.
It isn't about me thinking that the top end of megas will rip through other teams. It's that people are going to get hamstrung by having to choose a Mega in the opening round.
I really like the free form nature of a draft comp and I want that to stay open.
I'm not sure where the talk of needing to pick a mega came from...? Allowing them doesn't mean everybody needs to have one.
If you see earlier chat about the first round being a forced mega draft.
