Because a Mega Evolution isn't permanent change, so it's not really an evolution. It's more of a form. We've never counted a new form as a new Pokemon before.
EDIT: OMG, Houndoom! It looks awesome, and Solar Power is a fantastic ability for it. Now where's the Jynx evo I've been waiting 14 years for?
HikaruAyame said:I don't know why people don't count Megas in their tallies. Yes, we're probably only going to have 70ish ALL NEW Pokemon, but evolutions have always been counted before. We're already looking at 25ish Megas, bringing the count up to 95ish total, which is just a little short of the expected 100.
