Mega Pokemon

[DayKev]

Should Megas:

• Work like mainline

  • One per battle
  • Triggered in battle while selecting moves
  • Requires holding a Mega stone
  • Reverts after the battle ends

• Stay the same as currently

  • Can be toggled on/off freely between battles
  • Enabled when a Mega stone is applied to the Pokémon (not really a "held item")
  • Any number of Pokemon can be Mega'd

• Change in some other way

I don't have a preference for Megas, but given that we're introducing limitations on the number of items a Pokemon can hold, maybe Megas will be balanced that way since in many cases, they can only hold 1 item which is their Mega Stone?

Pros of not needing a manual trigger:

• No infrastructure/UI set up for it yet
• Would be a hassle 95%+ of the time needing to mega every single battle because players will usually want to keep their Pokemon mega'd most of the time

Other balance thoughts:

• No limit to megas per team 🤷
