Pokemon Legends: Z-A Legends has introduced a bunch of new Mega Evolutions, some of them pretty terrific, and others extremely cursed – looking at you Mega Starmie. No matter what you feel about their designs, it’s nice to see some new Pokemon getting Mega Evolutions so long after the gimmick was first introduced, and for fans of a certain Dragon/Ground type, it was a chance for redemption.
A Mega Flygon is something that Pokemon fans have wanted for quite a while. You can very easily find Reddit threads from years ago demanding #JusticeForFlygon, but all those years ago, fans had given up pretty much all hope that Mega Evolutions were coming back. With Pokemon Legends: Z-A bringing back the gimmick with a bang, Flygon fans had renewed belief that their favorite green dragon would finally get the respect it deserves.
However, Pokemon Legends: Z-A came and went without a single Mega Flygon in sight. It was demoralizing, but the Mega Dimension DLC announced before the game’s release would surely deliver, right? This is most likely the last chance that Flygon has to finally get its Mega Evolution, so it has to be there. Right?
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension Has Broken Flygon Fans
Unfortunately, it seems as though Game Freak has some kind of vendetta against poor Flygon. Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC is now here, flooding the game with a bunch more Mega Evolutions, but none of them are that elusive Mega Flygon that fans have been begging for literal years. They haven’t been taking it well.
Most of the anger has been directed at other Mega Evolutions, such as Tatsugiri, and the Pokemon that have been given two, such as Lucario and Absol. Mega Garchomp also seems to be catching a lot of heat from Flygon fans, as seen in the Reddit thread above from a user called MajoraPosser.
“Another miss at Mega Flygon. I will never get over this,” reads a comment from a user called Aeropsia. “They gave two Megas for Garchomp while Flygon does not exist in-game, wtf did Flygon do to gf?” reads another comment from a user called Electrode_. I guess with Garchomp being a fellow dragon, people see it as Flygon’s rival, but it seems to be a pretty one-sided rivalry.
It’s a similar story on Twitter too, with some people coping for another DLC expansion that could potentially include a Mega Flygon, but if Game Freak has plans for one, it’s keeping its cards pretty close to its chest. A tweet from Twitter user Pory sums up the entire situation pretty well, who simply says that “it’s over” along with a gif of someone crying. To be honest guys, I’m right there with you.
