    Alpharad truly is humble. He didn't even mention the fact that by choosing a Mega evolved pokemon, he wouldn't be able to use any other mega evolutions in battle. This is a SEVERELY impactful strategic loss.

      Not to mention, the other starters EVOLVE! Any other starter is like 200% stronger by the end of the game due to evolutions, but Mega Rayquaza doesn't get any such power boost. Such a disadvantage
