Mega rayquaza raid day got me thinking. Why can Pokemon only mega evolve for 8 hours? Well, I figured it out. A lot of (incorrect) people think it’s simply a balance thing. 1 mega at a time, not a permanent upgrade, etc etc. But, it’s actually nothing like that at all. Pokemon can only mega evolve for 8 hours because the smoothest talking pokemon in the game (our dragon snake boy ray) wouldn’t be able to eat if it was a permanent upgrade. Look at the photos side by side. The face guard on mega rayquaza already limits the size of meteorite or cheeseburger bites it can take, but additionally, its arms can’t reach its mouth! Regular rayquaza does not have this issue (see diagrams). So, I give you all a final and definitive answer: it’s unfair to allow mega evolutions to be permanent because chad rayquaza would only be able to eat from a straw.
