Permanent Mega-Evolutions?

[IN3D]

This was an idea I've been tossing around in my head. Could we make Mega-Evolutions permanent? Obviously, this would be somewhat unbalanced. But you don't want to make it horribly so. So I've been trying to think of how it would happen. I was thinking something like how you can take the DNA Splicer to the lab in B2/W2. In this case, there could be some kind of lab that bonds the pokemon to the megastone.

Off the top of my head, these are some of the balances I was thinking of:

• All Mega Evos are in the fluctuating leveling group.
• The megastone is used up in the process (they will of course be exceedingly rare, and prohibitively expensive)
• The process would be very expensive
  • maybe only payable in a particular item (nuggets)?
• The pokemon must have maximum happiness (reflecting the close bond with the trainer needed to stay permanently mega evolved)
• Like a lot of stone evolution (thunder stone, water stone, etc) It learns no moves once it evolves.

What do you guys think of the idea?

I like this idea, it would also give items that people see as useless a purpose. Such as there isn't really any reason to collect the nuggets except for money which you can obtain in other ways.

Closed. We seem to be in agreement this is a good idea to implement, so when the time comes to start working on it. This will be a part of the game.
