Less than X/Y? Mega evolutions and Fairy-type applied to all gens, while Alola forms are Gen 1 only.

I'd compare Mega Evolutions more to Z-moves, which literally are applicable to everyone, assuming they have a move of a certain typing. As I recall, a disproportionate amount of the Mega Evolutions were gen 1 anyway...though maybe there were a ton of others I weren't aware of. This game definitely doesn't give you a 2nd starter like X/Y (even if I wouldn't mind having another Charmander).

I haven't seen as many Alola forms as I was expecting honestly...so not sure if that's a real issue or not yet.
