Anyone who doesn't like Mega-Pinsir, Mega-Beedril, Mega-Lopunny and Mega-Medicham better than their respective non-megas are objectively wrong.

Those are good but then you have like

Aerodactyl and Sharpedo and Tyranitar

My favorites ones are probably Abomasnow and Banette, more Megas are good rather than are bad

has there been anything on new megas- for SUMO? I know there is still a gen or 2 that don't have mega starters. And I know everyone is wanting a mega-flygon, but at this point, I think I'm ok with Flygon the way it is after thinking about it for a while. Then there are the ones like Dunsparce and Farfetch'd. Alolan forms would be cool, but so would megas for those two- preferring the latter.

Only gens 1 and 3 do.

Mega Banette is loving glorious and should have been a final evo. I can say the same for gallade , scizor, medicham and mawile. In some cases mega evolution actually finishes a design and gives it what's desperately been missing. In other cases it looks like they went to the bargain bin and stapled a buncha glitter n' poo poo on there. Mega Garchomp's kinda a mix though. The spikes are a bit much but that jaw is terrifyingly good.

Also for that poster that wanted some examples of good/bad digimon designs

BAD:
Sangloupmon
Tigervespermon
Dinobeemon, AKA 'Aww geeze the fusion hosed up)
Fangmon, something actually from my nightmares made real.
Scorpiusmon, the 3rd of 6 different "What if arachnid but skeleton' designs the poo poo out.

Good poo poo:
Guardromon and his evolution
Blimpmon AKA Alola Drifblim.
Sunflowmon, or We decided to make Sunflora but not make it look like a weak piece of poo poo
The hero of the people Pumpmon
Best partner Terriormon
ChessBishopmon and his final form
ChessKingmon
Phantomon.

They're going for a different look than Pokémon, where they're not as afraid to go too far and make it machine, attach a non-natural looking part to the creature or put clothes on a design to help it out (see Chesskingmon) but that really backfires a lot of the time. Pokemon designs are slowly opening up to that idea as well, with Sawk and Throh and the arm shield Tiki Island Gods. Digimon can be cool, but it's usually in a totally different direction than Pokemon so I've never understood any of the comparisons between perceived bad Pokemon designs and really any digimon.

Are you saying the large looking bishop mon evolves into the smaller king mon? Does that happen often in digimon?

Also I actually kind of like how fangmon still manages to look cartoony despite how hosed up it is.

I like Sawk and Throh but the new Tiki pokemon is easily the fakest looking of the new ones. That and Alola Ninetails and Sandslash since they're basically just pallette swaps.

I know a lot people don't like it- but I think Mega-Manectric looks awesome. Reminds me of those old cartoon tropes of a flat character. From the side they are visible, but face on the disappear. haha. Also, it has a giant bolt on its back. Mega-Ampharos is also ridiculous, but I actually don't like how it looks.

Yeah there's a few end form digimon that are small, but very powerful. Babamon for example, usually they're regulated to side characters in the anime/Games and not playable characters.

I love Mega Manectric, it's a huge improvement over the original. Although I'd say it's a more dramatic change than the "stick some things on it" kind since it takes up so much space and drastically alters the profile. I think it could pass for an actual evolution, and I'd want it to be if it's base ability wasn't so useful to have in doubles.

Mega Ampharos is more of the "glued on" type of mega and those are more hit or miss, but yeah I think Ampharos' design is funny but not good where Manectric's is both funny and good.

I'd say mega Aerodactyl is easily the worst and is just Aerodactyl with some pointy rocks glued on.

RIP, Koji Wada. :(

But yeah nah, the designs that go into pokemon vs digimon are so different, I don't get why they always end up competing. Especially when you look at the overall art style they tend to be presented in. Also I feel with digimon they're more aiming for 'what would a kid think is the coolest' compared to the overall usually nature-inspired, general appeal pokemon have. Look at Sangloupmon linked just above, it is an incredibly silly design, but there's definitely some twelve year olds who'd think it, a purple vampire wolf with sawblade legs, is super cool and rad.
