Baimu stopped before a mural.
"Hm? Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution?"
Mega-Evolved Pokémon of all sizes covered the rock wall. On closer inspection, every last one was there, including Mega Diancie. Only Mewtwo's two Mega Evolutions were missing.
Of course, that was only normal. If they had been there, he would have been seriously rattled.
He looked left and right, taking in the entire mural.
Baimu sighed. He had been holding out hope.
Had they abandoned Mega Evolution completely...?
By rights, a remake of Pokémon X and Y should have introduced a few new Mega Evolutions and added this detail or that. Maybe nothing would turn up online, but ancient murals might have depicted a new one.
Their absence could only mean that either the Pokémon World he had crossed into was different, or a Pokémon X and Y remake would probably be like the Diamond and Pearl remakes: an outsourced "HD remaster."
Faithful to the original, above all else.
He couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Unbalanced or not, Mega Evolution looked undeniably cool.
Perhaps he had grown too used to their original forms, but by his personal tastes, almost every Mega Evolution had something that appealed to him.
By contrast, while the Pokémon designs in the generations following Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire had interesting elements, few suited his tastes.
Especially those "patchwork monsters" designed to mock museums that assembled fossils incorrectly.
The cuter they looked in the anime, the sorrier he felt for them afterward.
Still, if one could fight alongside Ash all the way to the Masters Eight and even the Champion title, its battle strength was assured... As people in his previous life would say—
How could a Pokémon be this cool?!
"Is this the end?"
Baimu glanced at the wall
