#mega stones

[thena0315]

Back when Pokemon used to wear their Mega Stones on them instead of it randomly popping out of nowhere in thin air

If I was in Pokemon I'd have my mega stone as a tongue piercing

Or a navel one

Or just an earring

Or just as a belt hoop

Considering their rarity and the difficulty in creating Mega Stones contributing to their ludicrous prices. Do you think there would be a black market for Mega Stones and Key Stones and their subsequent Pokemon who can Mega Evolve? I'm curious about your thoughts on this. Also I hope you're having a good day today. =)

Hi there @namelessbaron! Great question! I think there probably is a black market for Mega Stones and Key Stones as well as the other gimmicks (Z-rings, Dynamax Bands, Tera Orbs) We as the player have the benefit of "Protagonist Special Treatment" so we never have to pay for any of these items. But for the everyday trainer, I can imagine it's just a lot harder to get your hands on these items. Not impossible, but a lot harder than the protagonist that has so much handed to them in their journeys. And given the very real benefit they have in battle I'm sure there are plenty of trainers, desperate for a leg up, who may turn to the black market to get these items. Going a bit off topic, I think about the potential black market for Z-rings and I wonder if this would anger the Tapu. The answer is probablu

Hey so pokemon professors/trainers i have a question.

Are mega stones harmful to Pokemon? I know this a pretty controversial question.

Im not a battler but apparently when my family went on our biannual hoenn trip this year.(I couldn’t go because school) my dad believes he found a genuine Banette mega stone for Poppet and i feel uneasy having it. I don’t think I’m ever going to use it. I just don’t know if i should put in a shadow box and put it on the wall or just get rid of it entirely.

Origin Shards

Okay so- one of the biggest issues I've had with switching around the timeline/ making one singular timeline (there's many but this' one of the more obvious ones) is the 'Mega timeline', where ORAS happens after XY- But! I think I've found a solution for that. (*Note: I haven't played Oras... yet)

As the title reads- I've thought up of Origin Shards! Basically, yaknow how mega stones all kinda look like marbles? Well, Origin Shards are the unrefined/raw version of mega stones! Just straight shards from the meteors that Rayquaza breaks*; so kinda like how wishing stars are. Origin shards can still be refined into the stones- but at the time they just weren't known as Mega Stones. It's obvious where I got the name from lmao (Rayquaza should've been named Origin not mega-)

Origin Shards were originally found in Hoenn; but instead of being something brand new like how Mega-evos are in XY, Origin Shards are more of a common thing- they're still fairly rare, but not as rare as in XY (Where only the player gets a key stone, and the mega stones are hidden.)

Now when it comes to the professors Birch and Sycamore; I'm thinking that maybe Birch (who's field is in pkmn habitats) either already had his field, and couldn't focus on the OS/MS; or he assumed that Origin forms mattered due to habitats, rather than the shards themselves. Regardless, it wouldn't be until years later when Sycamore took up researching them directly- when they also started to appear in Kalos.

sorry for the ramble; I hope this makes sense lol
