It's pretty clear only certain Pokemon would have it, you can only activate it in battle with a held item, so you have no chance of holding something else like a Choice Scarf. Of course they give it to Pokemon that are either already broken or banned from competitive play (Blaziken), so it's a lateral move and completely unnecessary.
So basically what you're saying is that a new mechanic doesn't do jack shit to innovate a game.
Sorry, but that's the dumbest thing I have heard so far in this thread.
Why the hell would they add any mechanic without some sort of purpose? The purpose of Mega Pokemon are to add some new depth into battling pokemon rather than adding it there for sparkles and glamor. That isn't game freak's style.
Besides, most pokemon fans tend to grow on these things so why you're all bothering to complain right now is beyond me.
