I'm guessing Mega Evolution is the main series name since we've totally dropped the Scarlet & Violet name, so it would probably go Mega Evolution - (set name). Sorta like what they did with the EX series way back in the day. BREAKpoint and BREAKthrough are somewhat oddities, but they did still...

It's not that it "keeps getting delayed", we never had any information about a release date other than 2025. Everyone just speculated it would be early 2025 because of PLA, but PLA was also advertised as an early year release from the very first announcement. PLZA was not.
