Gengar Mega Stone

Exclusivity keeps people playing, people who missed it either were too early on in the story to even know about the mega stone or just didn't care about it b/c how useless it is and even in pve bosses its worst than just normal scarf gengar since all people do with gengar nowadays is scarf destiny bond since hard bosses have a lot of speed.  The only items that should never be placed under a timed exclusivity are pvp pokemon options to keep things fair for everybody.  If players really wanted mega gengar they would either do the quest or wait for halloween.  Its similar to Darkrai as its not a pvp mon and Halloween exclusive, but nobody 'needs' a darkrai so making it a exclusive is fine.  It might even be the stander for released uber pokemon/megas for the future. 
This is also coming from a guy who densest have either but i also had 3 year chances to get them so just wait till next year if you want it. 

p.s. mega blaziken was released without exclusivity but this would just be wrong if it was since its a starter trio and since you can just get a speed boost blaziken is already a thing so i don't think comparing it to gengar is fair.

I've missed my chance to get the Gengarite last Halloween but I definitely do not have the same opinion as you. It most likely won't be the ONLY chance we can get the mega stone anyways, as can be seen from previous seasonal legendaries that we could catch, like Shaymin and Darkrai.

"Please, don't make Mega Gengar to us as useless as you think he is to you. What makes Mega Gengar different if the rest of the Megas are useable enough to fight in Boss battles and then so is he. I am right? Even if Mega Gengar is banned in Rank battles, we can still use his dominance and show his uncaged power in Unrank battles, Boss Battles and in clearing the game story itself at least. 

Mega Gengar is far from useless, I can agree on that. You can use Mega Gengar in Bosses, Sinnoh's Battle Tower, Suspicious Bot, etc, but I personally think that having the Gengarite stay as a seasonal quest is fine. It gives us, as players, a sense of achievement once we do get a hold of it, making it feel special.

If they made a new quest to get the stone, where anyone (or people who've completed a certain region) would be able to obtain the stone anytime outside of Halloween, then that'd just defeat the purpose of making it a reward for 2020's Halloween quest.  Also, just a small detail, but Umbra, the Mega Gengar you battle in the Dark Realm and Battlefield, go hand in hand with the Gengarite, so it fits the theme.

If this is all about your opinions then the only thing that is useless here is this whole talks which it shows only that it is a one sided conversation all along. Being said so, I want to ask you this which I supposedly should have asked in the beginning. Are the opinions of others matters to you as much as to yours? Because, if not then you might want to hear out the collective opinions of the many. Thanks

I wouldn't go as far as say that only G3n's and Comrader's opinions matter. I think everyone is entitled to an opinion, each with equal importance. Both G3n and Comrader presented their opinions, and provided reasons as to why they think so, which is feedback as far as I know. This whole conversation is not useless, I can tell you that much.

Oh, it's about "time" now. Time tells your whole life. That's why is there's this quote "Time is gold."  Because "time" itself is as precious as much as you value your things. We want to spend some time with Mega Gengar as much as we do for the rest of the Megas in a timely manner. We're talkin' about 1 whole year here.

If I'm getting this right, he meant time as in a seasonal event. 

I can understand that some people missed out on getting the Gengarite, as did I, and that you want to spend as much time using Mega Gengar outside of ranked, hence why you made this suggestion in the first place, but in the end a suggestion is a suggestion. We're here to give you our feedback, take it as you will. If it doesn't get implemented, please don't get upset.

I missed out on catching Darkrai for 2 years, and managed just fine. I'm sure you can do the same if it doesn't get implemented.

Because of gengarites low usability there won't be alot of people needing it so having it inside an event for those who really want it is a fine approach in my opinion.

 

One more thing. Giving a reward that is quite useless, right? How is that sounds to you? And you wait for a whole year just to have a "low usability" reward? Hmmm..

you make it sound like mega gengar stone was the only thing to get during Halloween, which there were plenty of other stuff players would want to get instead of a mega stone.

We're talking about Legendary Darkrai here, Which I have my statements already about Pseudo nor Legendary themselves.

I think, I clearly did not say so.

I said enough strong points to solidify my concerns and the rest is out of my hand as I am no players like you are. Thanks.

i mean, if we're talking about "useless rewards" then i guess we should just say the entire halloween event is "useless" because neither mega gengar nor darkrai are "useful" in those terms

Sorry mate, I did not say "rewards". I'm was talking about the stone alone. Just to be clear. Thanks

(the mega stone is a reward from the quest, just want to be clear on that. which therefore means it falls into the category of "rewards")
