Almost everyone is getting cheated because they do not know what is the symbol of a mega-able pokemons so I have an idea. How about we put ALL CAPS on the names of the mega-able pokemons.

Examples:

Like mega-able Charizard = CHARIZARD
Mega-able Gardevoir = GARDEVOIR

Now this would be difficult to understand. First of all, ALL CAPS is considered screaming on the internet and not exactly regarded highly. Furthermore it could mean anything - a mega-able pokémon being the last thing I'd think of. Some people even rename their pokémon, so this would be very unreliable.

I don't even think a different way of displaying mega-ables is necessary. The colored bubbles are very clear in my opinion. Therefore, no support.

In my opinion, the all caps would make it less noticeable that it's a mega-able. Like moonrise said, the mega stone symbol is clear enough, and it also shows up on the party page, the Pokemon's summary, and in the storage boxes also. You can clearly see the bubble by the Pokemon's image.

No support.

Like it was already stated, this will just be more confusing. No one refers caps to mega-able Pokémon yet.

And if people can understand that CAPSed names means mega-able, then they can understand even easier & quicker that a mega icon means mega-able.

Not to mention the downside that users could abuse this and give their Pokémon a capsed nickname. Some users may not pay attention and buy the Pokémon because they think it's a mega one.
