Faint heart of curiosity. Is the bond phenomenon gimmick a one time thing like the battle bond Greninja or are we about to see more in the near future?

    I really do like the idea of seeing the bond phenomenon again in Z-A. While it isn't certain it will show up again, I like to think it is very much a possibility.

    I would like to see more pokemon having the bond phenomenon option as well. Battle bond pokemon that is.

    bond phenomenon is just what the anime had to make up to give ash a mega with Gen 6 mons, we will have real megas in the game now

    If the Kalos "first partner Pokemon" do end up getting Megas, it would be amazing to see Mega Greninja just be Ash-Greninja.

    @Flametix I have to agree with you for Scarlet Violet. Terastal's a waste of effort and time.

    @puplover1118 The possibilities are never ending. we might have a battle bond ceruledge that harbor ghost/psychic type or having a druddigon having a water type adding on to its dragon type or even a rhyperior having ground type replaced with water.

    @MegaEagle9 we barely scratch the surface for Mega Evolutions and Z-moves. That goes double for Battle Bonds.
