6th Gen Official September CoroCoro Discussion Thread -- Mega Evolutions, New Pokémon, More!

[Rayquaza818]

Honestly, I agree with iRyahn its very much similar to Digimon but its kinda stupid in general

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Nope, serious. I thought that the Mega Stone was an actual item, but generalizing all the Mega Stones like Blazikenite into one source is freakin genius! Makes me wonder what the names of the other stones will be.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought Mega stone was an item.

I'm nearly 100 percent sure Mewtwo will be banned as it's already uber in it's normal stage. Blaziken will most likely follow as it was an uber in Gen V and now with the new power creep it'll likely stay that way. Lucario I can see becoming Uber. The other three may receive a boost in tier.

With Mawile's new ability/typing, it's likely it'll be pushed into OU/Uber.

Anyway... a part of me wants to see MEGA eeveelutions! Flareon would finally slay the rest...

 

[F1refly]

I dunno. I quite like them. I think people are just scared of change and IMO they are cool looking, although MegaAmpharos is a bit stupid. I like normal Ampharos. I know who my new team is going to e now

If Mawile doesn't get any worth while Fairy attacks and have to rely on Steel its almost better that it had stayed pure steel type. Its going to get new weaknesses and strengths thanks to Fairy but offensively it doesn't have much but its normal steel attacks to compliment Huge Power.

Typical Nintendo.. First of all when Did Nintendo Declare this? Secondly Isnt that getting too Digimonish? Either ways I guess its going to be pretty good and i suppose you need an Item Like "Mega Stone"?

First thing that came into my mind as well!!!
I actually like Digimon & it was about damn time good pokes got formes, I mean what's more fun than being able to almost evolve your pokes further to 2 evolutionary stages???
Though I don't like MegaAmpharos' design, it isn't that much creative tbh, the same Ampharos we know but with white hair all over >_>

Nonetheless I'm really excited about all of what's been announced & I hope the news are true.
Oh, & MegaBlaziken means one thing... Hoenn remakes confirmed!!!11 {XD}
sorry couldn't resist saying that

I also want to see Mega Eeveelutions. How about a Mega Sunflora? It can be Grass/Fire!

Also I just realized that with the Torchic event upon release I can start my Kalos journey with a Torchic on my team :3. Wow two fire starters...have to compensate for that with some grass types.

I'm glad the Gogoat pre-evo turned out to be the real deal! It's probably my favorite of the bunch! The three new Pokemon are very adorable.

Eevee will probably be the most...complex Mega thing around due to its many eeveelutions [will they be adding new ones?~]

 

[WingedDragon]

What if its like how Kirlia evolves. Male evolves into this female evolves into that. its possible, but seems a bit over board

 

[Rivvon]

If these are forms, then I'll have no problem. If they're evolutions, then I'll be cautious. Introducing fourth evolutions will cause the power creep to really seep into the games, and I do not want that. It will go from being a competitive problem to a problem that breaks the in-game "story mode" mechanics, leaving older and "non-Mega-becoming" Pokemon in the dust. Yes, it's too early to tell, but considering how each gen has higher and higher base stat totals in general I wouldn't say it's too crazy to think it's possible. So, I'm really hoping these are just forms and not real "evolutions."

Also, I hope the other starters get a Mega Evolution, too. Giving one only to Blaziken is just unfair, I think.

And give a Mega Evolution to Dunsparce, please! Nothing against Ampharos, or Fabio-Ampharos, but of all the Pokemon to give a new "evolution" to, Ampharos and Blaziken? When you've got Dunsparce, Luvdisc, Shuckle, Stunfisk........?

At least I can say that I'm glad Mawile has one of these, even though I was hoping for a real evolution and not one of these "maybe forms maybe evolutions we don't know yet" Mega Evos.

 

[BeefTaco]

I just wanna see MegaScizor, would probably be OP as hell but who wouldn't want to see an even cooler Scizor.

 

[DamienHelvian]

The thread spontaneously died....

 

[Haza]

Technically, I guess we could discuss which other Pokemon we think will/should get a mega... and what they'd look like. Since Lucario and Blaziken (and most of them really) share the black "mega" tattoo type design on their bodies and flowing godly hair, I'd like see that on

Roserade: Longer GOKU type hair, visible thorns, and the tattoo design.
Milotic: Water/Dragon... longer flowing ribbons, bolder tail with a more grand tail fin.
Skuntank: Kick ass tail with visible stank fumes

 

[SpitfireYoshi]

I CALLED THE ELECTRIC FAIRY! ALL BOW BEFORE ME!

 

[SolarAbusoru]

I really wanna see a Mega Evolution of Luxray, I'd imagine lightning-like markings interconnecting all over its body, larger body frame, longer mane.

 

[Infinite Latios]

I just thought of something. How cool would a MegaCharizard be? Think about it. Maybe... Two heads? With longer fangs? And black flames on the tail! And a black belly instead of yellow! And maybe... devil-like horns. It would look awesome!

 

[Olli]

Not quite sure how I feel about these Mega Pokemon. I mean, they look cool and all, and I'm sure they'll be great Pokemon to use, both in-game and competitively, but they're just kinda changing up the whole formula with this. Like Xander said, MegaBlaziken is gonna be the first case of a fourth stage evolution (even though it's just a stronger Blaziken, they do call it an evolution, so it does count as an evolution), and MegaMewtwo or whatevs is gonna be the first evolution of a legendary (seems like Mewtwo is gonna play a big role in this generation. But then again, they are revisiting a theme of the first generation :p), and I just see that as being violations of two unwritten rules of Pokemon. The legendary evolution isn't that big of a deal to me, but going past the third stage... it just seems wrong to me for some reason :(

And what is the point even? Why do we need these mega evolutions? Can't you just make a bunch of crazy legendaries or something, instead of taking such a leap of faith and completely messing with the formula.

But then again, I guess X and Y have pretty much been a leap of faith in themselves. It's clear that Game Freak are trying to give Pokemon a comeback with this generation, hence all the new features they've brought in. And while some of them are a bit questionable (the big amount of food-related Pokemon they've introduced/supposedly are gonna introduce, despite the negative feedback the whole Vanillite line got for example), they've introduced a lot of awesome features/mechanics/etc. as well (customization of character, hordes of Pokemon, a new typing finally geez even though it's had some variety in feedback, and best of all, SITTING ON BENCHES!). I think the whole Mega Pokemon thing may be an attempt to draw in a different, most likely more mature audience, since the theme of them is obviously to look cool (even though that's debatable :p), and considering that Pokemon have always been regarded as cutesy and adorable (and childish) creatures in the eyes of most people, that may have been a smart move to draw in all those children who decide not to play the games because the main focus is the "cute" of the Pokemon, rather than the "awesome" they're looking for. But it may not have been the smartest move to pull on their current fans, as it's definitely been seen with skepticism :p But then again, it's only a theory; maybe they have much bigger plans for these that we just haven't seen yet.

I also think the whole Mewtwo thing may be to bring back some of the original fans of the series, though that may be a bit of a stretch, and can perhaps just be viewed as fan service for the ones who've stuck around for long enough? But yeah, I'm not gonna say that I'm done with Pokemon before I've seen the impact it actually makes on the games. All their new additions to the games may end up being super awesome, or ruining the entire series, but we'll jsut have to wait and see :p Like I said, a leap of faith.

Oh, also, MegaAbsol looks soo metal. I bet it'd be amazing at headbanging ;D

 

[ricki13th]

Absol is not ruin it needed an evolution. But personally I think it was either translated wrong or somewhat fake. However, if this is true this will change pokemon forever. Still think more information is to come as the did not show Oorroto the tree pokemon.

 

[atomtanned]

I actually kind of like that they gave Mawile a "mega" evolution. I find most of the Pokemon who never evolve to be pretty boring... a form change would be great and add interest.

But I do agree, and I hope this is just a form change based on a held item, rather than an actual, permanent evolution. It would be interesting if they added a big drawback -- for example, a pokemon's mega-evolution had a huge increase in one stat, but another dropped dramatically, etc.

I just hope it's not as simple as MOAR POWER!!! for the Pokemon that have it available. And I'd like to be able to switch back and forth between a mega/regular evolution.
