I have to disagree mega evos are a great addition to the pokemon series. They add a new evolution to both fan favorites and underused pokemon while also keeping a fair balance to the game. Instead of making a 4th stage to some fully evolved pokemon they make you lose an item spot to mega evo. They also add a nice new design for the pokemon.
To argue your points, obviously they are going to give the fan favorites mega evos it wouldnt make any sense for Gamefreak to completly ignore the fan favorties of the sereis like the Kanto starters, Mewtwo, Lucario etc. but its not like thoose are the only pokemon they gave mega evos too. Kagaskhan, Mawile, Ampharious, Aggron, Abomasnow, houndoom, Manetric, Medicham, Gardeviour, Pinsir, Bannet, and Abosl are all pokemon that barely got used and aren't very popular that got mega evos. In fact theres more pokemon that were in UU and lower that got megas then in OU. So actually gamefreak brought a lot of pokemon from the dead and basically made them usable again.

True. I did say that many of them got it right.
But the combinantion of just how OP the pokemon that were already good got and the fact that you can only have one Mega per team, the megas that are just "okay" will instantly never be used, lesening diversity.

Not necessarily, different pokemon fit diffrent needs yes some pokemon got better mega evos but that deosnt make the other ones useless. Thats also why they have tiers (If you play competivily) to diversify the pokemon you can use. And by the way it seems your thinking there are a lot of "OP" pokemon that got megas but I can only think of 2 which are Mewtwo and Blaziken. The others like lucario and Gengar were good and got a great boost to make them "OP" while others like Kanghaskhan and Charizard were awful before but now got an excellent boost.
It seems to me your dwelling on the very few pokemon that were good before that are insanly good now rather then the majority that were below average befoe that are good now.
