6th Gen Mega Evolutions Discussion and Speculation

I've been looking at that fake corocoro leak, and after some thinking, Mega Wobbuffet and Mega Ditto would be awesome!

Wobbuffet could play is traditional role and counter and stuff, but when, say a dark type comes out and you're at low health, you could mega evolve into a fast offensive pokemon (possibly psychic fighting type) and sweep.

For ditto's mega evolution, he could turn back into his normal self, and then into the pokemon he's currently fighting, but instead of equal stats, His highest stat after the copy is multiplied by 1.5.

Now onto things that have a remote chance of happening.

What about a mega Spinda? It could turn into a tornado thing.

mega Carnivine, And the dino's from gen 4 could get mega's too.

And like I've said in other threads, There will definitely be a mega in the pikachu line.

MegaEmboar should go back to all fours and have huge tusks...and become bulkier and more fierce looking.

OK, some random speculation here...

MegaGothitelle: Has longer hair and maybe a queen's crown on top?
MegaCrustle: Probably a cross between a Rhino Beetle and a crab, but can carry stones twice the size and can also give people a ride on its back!
MegaSawsbuck: It probably gonna look similar to Xerneas, but they have larger and more decorative antlers, as well as a larger body, more like a male moose.
MegaReuniclus: We've already seen Duosion grow arms as it evolves haven't we? The Reuniclite will give this Pokemon legs as well!
MegaExeggutor: Is fatter and has approximately 6-9 heads, and has a third leg to hold itself together.

While I do think some of the designs are kind of cool, like for say Charizard and Garchomp, as a whole, I don't really like the idea of mega evolutions. It just seems gimmicky to me - it's taken B&W's powercreep to a whole new level, because let's face it, Mega Garchomp with Sand Force is gaudy, and I don't really like that. There is such a thing as too much power. XD Throw in the fact that everybody and their mother will be using these things, they'll be everywhere. The saving grace is that it's battle only, and the Pokemon will revert after the fight or without their mega stone.

Going by what Artemis said too, I'd hate for a Pokemon like a Mawile, Druddigon, etc, to get a mega evolution instead of a plenty viable actual evo. That would be kind of lame. :/

I think MegaBlaziken will be the first Mega I'll try out when I get the games :3. If not then MegaMawile!

My favorites are MegaMawile,MegaAbsol, and MegaBlaziken

Blastoise's MegaEvolution is one of my favorites. I love the way that it has only one large cannon on its back instead of two smaller ones. Also, the mini-cannons on its hands are just wonderful. I like Mega Charizard, too. It seems to be more slimmer, faster, powerful, and more intimidating. Venusaur's Mega form has gotta be one of my least favorites. When you compare it to its normal form, it's quite hard to notice the differences other than the mark on its forehead.

I do like Mega Evolutions. The main reason I like them is the possibility of changing the Metagame drastically. If I had to compare them to something, it would be the Pokemon TCG Ace Spec cards, I don't really play the card game but I know a little about it and Ace Spec cards have some similarities to Mega Pokemon in some way.

Getting back to the topic of changing the Metagame, I hope Mega Pokemon become a key part of the competitive teams. Many competitive teams often leave room for a Wild Card so I hope Mega Pokemon fill up that role.

My favorite Mega Evolution so far is MegaCharizard, but if Feraligtr gets a Mega Evolution too then that would probably end up being my favorite.

i definitely think mega evolutions are cool! however i dont like how all the already powerful pokemon are getting them. hopefully they're balanced in some kind of way.
i like the ampharos and mawile ones even the absol, but mega-mew2 i'll have to wait and see on that one.

After seeing how badass Garchomp became, I'm even more exited for new mega evos(and I was very exited ever since I heard about ib the coocoro leaks)

You can relax now guys

Mega Garchomp

When Garchomp becomes Mega Garchomp, the increased energy flows into the Pokémon's arms, turning them into huge blades! Mega Garchomp's Attack and Special Attack both improve greatly, while its Speed goes down a little.

is going to be ok.

Ah so there is a negative effect with mega evolutions. This is good... Very good.

Well this is the first time GF has stated a stat decrease in a Mega Pokemon so we cant be sure.

Plus it's only a "little" according to them...so maybe a 3-5 drop...

You know it makes logical sense it's speed feel as it's head is no longer as aerial dymamic shaped as normal Garchomps.

Design wise, I really like Mega Blastoise, Mega Garchomp, and Mega Blaziken.
With Mega Blastoise, it's always good to have more cannons!
Mega Garchomp just looks more ferocious.
I really like the red and black coloration on Mege Blaziken.

However, I have to say that I have gained a soft spot for Mega Ampharos over the past weeks. Just recently, I trained an Ampharos on my Pokemon Black in honor of it. I may transfer him to my Y version for his Mega Evolution.

Additionally, I had an instant liking to Mega Kangaskhan. The form seems simple but effective!

Yep, I actually expect Garchomp to be in either 650- 660 BST level even with the speed decrease, GF is really hyping the strength of these Mega-Evolutions.

I believe negative effects only counts for fully evolved Pokémons such as the starters.
Base Pokémons such as Absol and Mawile don't have much to lose in Mega form. However, that's what I think.

It could be possible that Garchomp is the one of the Megas announced so far with a decrease...though a reshift of Mewtwo's special atk to atk for X seems likely

I was thinking the same for the most part. I was kinda let down that we couldn't just get a plin evolution of Mawile.

At first it does seem like mega Garchomp would be OP, but the official site says that while his attack and spacial attack rise, he has a drop in speed. So it souldn't be too hard to outspeed it, and with it's 4x ice weakness, I'm actually doubting that anyone will bother using mega Garchomp since you're limited to 1 megalution at a time.
