While I do agree that there are many mega-evolutions out there thus far, as long as new Pokémon are being added continuously generation-by-generation, I can't necessarily say if we could ever have enough, so to speak.
Personally, I'm fine by our current number, just like many other people here. Though, if they do decide to introduce more as time goes on, it wouldn't bother me in any way, because I feel that more megas we have, the better. They're not counted as actual Pokémon, if you know what I mean, and don't exactly register in your PokéDex as something you're able to capture; if they do add more of them, there's really not much room for me to complain (same could apply for other players as well), and just enjoy what they have to offer. I remember Masuda saying that he'd like to give all (fully-evolved) Pokémon a mega-form some day, and if he does stick by those words, I honestly wouldn't mind, haha. |

I would like to interject that Garchomps mega seemed widely unnecessary, and given their tweaks to its stats, sees even less usage from competitive players than regular garchomp. This says something pretty notable about mega selection by GF and mega usage by players.

I hate how gamers in general are so conservative... I really liked the idea of Mega Evolutions. I don't remember what was my first reaction to it but soon it grew on me and after seeing what it did to Charizard's usage it makes me want to see more of it. Mega Evolution is not something a Pokémon "needs". Some of them "needed" it, but they weren't given Megas because they "needed" it, but for other reasons (in Charizard's case it was definitely popularity and the fact it's one of the first starters). That Charizard became one of the most used Pokémon in the game is just a bonus. |
I don't think the numbers are a problem. The thing that bothers me about Mega Evolution is that a lot of Pokemon who are already powerful are getting them. I'd prefer they give megas to Pokemon that can't evolve, or have only one evolution.

Currently the votes for "Yes" and "No" are tied. |
The thing you want to keep in mind is that Game Freak doesn't seem terribly concerned with improving the metagame, which is why they give megas to **** that doesn't need them *cough*Mewtwo*cough*.
Or at the very least, they aren't concerned with keeping the Singles metagame good. |
Quote:
Yes, if they have any concern for the metagame, it seems only to be doubles. I actually don't understand why GF wouldn't want to have an official singles metagame. They'll be rolling in cash after every Worldwide Singles Tournament because it's just so much more easy to get into and so much more widely played. It's precisely this trend that we're having a slew of horrible Megas recently, and it dosen't look to be changing anytime soon. Slowbro, Sharpedo (because it lost Speed Boost), Camerupt, Audino and the like, appreciate the boost from Mega Evolutions and I'm really hoping that they would rise in usage but god, please don't come up with a **** excuse to give Dragonite a Mega because of the Bangle. I'm nearly certain they will. It's one of the Pseudo legendaries including Hydriegon that hasn't got a Mega yet. |
I don't think 54 is too many megas I just think some of the recent ones have been kind of poorly designed, especially Audino, Slowbro, Sableye, Sharpedo.
I mean do we need megas for every Pokemon under the sun? I hope these megas never see the light of the tcg. Personally I only like megas when they look cool and are of cool Pokemon. Also kind of tired of these mega secret rares, I miss the secret rares from Black and White. |

If GF cared about the "metagame" they wouldn't have given Shadow Tag to a Pokémon as powerful as Gengar. And I'm pretty sure the reason they nerfed permaweather wasn't to nerf it but to make an excuse for boosting Groudon and Kyogre's abilities. From a lore's sense, it was never right that other Pokémon could cause permanent rain and sun same as Groudon and Kyogre. |

What I personally would have preferred in mega-evolution designs is for them to not get too creative. It makes more sense if said mega doesn't have much difference appearance-wise in comparison to its normal form, as it's not an actual evolution (rather, an artificial one). Pokémon such as Lucario and Kangaskhan (spelling?) don't go through much change once they switch into their mega, and I'm very much fond of that. For Salamence, Camerupt, Altaria, and so forth, however, it's much more of a different story. |

-New Safari zone in Johto, and the one in Fuchsia City has been converted into a Pal Park -Lugia/Ho-oh is not obtainable until after getting the 8th badge -the first Pokemon in your party will follow you around -a few more legendaries are catchable -Crystal's Eusine side-story in now in HG/SS -the Elite 4 gets much stronger after defeating them for the first time -Battle Frontier makes its way to Johto And all the mechanics changes since Gen 2 like abilities and the phyiscal/special split. You could also try out X and Y. Also....why was Musicality's thread on mega evolutions merged into the Q&A thread here? |

Purified count not always increasing in Colosseum?

Just wondering if, while playing with the other DS 'version' titles on 2ds or 3ds, if using any DS lite for local union room trades will have affect on save files.
**Have 3 lites, a DSI, a 2ds and 3ds. Also, this problem seriously makes me WTF: - now and then while doing my thing, in White2 or Platinum for example, while in battle trying for attack selection, I get sent to the menu where my party gets shown as though its the status screen or I want to use an item instead. Gets very annoying if in a trainer tier fight because a wild can usually be fled from. **Why this happen? |
Concerning Nuzlocke
I have a quick question concerning Nuzlocke runs;
Are caves limited to one Pokemon per floor of a cave? I'm doing a randomizer Nuzlocke with a friend in Ruby (a friendly race of sorts) and I was confused about Granite Cave. You see, with each map they all have a different encounter set (if applicable), and the randomizer randomizes all of the encounter slots. Just curious before I actually move onto Slateport. |
****PLEASE READ**** POKEMON GREEN?
Hi friends! This is my first post. I just joined yesterday :D
Sorry if I'm in the wrong place, I really had a struggle navigating through the website. Hope I'm in the right place though :) So basically, you know how there is pokemon red and blue? I have Pokemon green that I got around 12 years ago for my birthday. Now here is the thing, I only got told the other day by a friend that Pokemon green was never released in the US or the UK ( I'm from UK, England). But I have a copy, and it's in English or American, whatever you want to call it so it's not a Japanese version. And I only need a touros to complete my pokedex, so it's not a fake or anything because I've done the whole story. I read up on it and every time I type in on Google 'Pokemon green' 99% of the results come up with pokemon leaf green. And the other 1% is very vague about Pokemon green itself and only says very little. So I was wondering, did they only make a few of the English/American versions for Pokemon green? Or? Because I have one... And if it is worth a bit of money then I would sell it because I need funds to help pay for my brothers operation. So if anyone could please tell me the worth and value of this game or any comments or theories that are relevant could you please tell me! Thank you so much. |
It might be some fantranslation. People over at Pokemon Gaming Central might know better, so I'm moving this thread over there!
|
From the research I've done, it looks like there is no legitimate English version of Pokémon Green. It's most likely a bootlegged version.
|
I kind of highly doubt that they would spend a ton of money on translation and then only release a few copies of it. More likely someone translated it and then resold the cartridge to make some money. Did you get it from a game reseller or a legitimate source?
|
Sounds like you have a pretty interesting cartridge there. It sounds like a bootleg, however it is strange that you've got every pokemon bar tauros. Seems like a lot of effort for someone to go to to make a bootleg. Does it follow the red/blue story? Even if it is a translation of the japanese pokemon green, there should be more version exclusive pokemon than just tauros, right?
|
Well, technically Pokemon Green was released in America. As Pokemon Blue Version. The one that was never released in America was Blue version, lol, and even that is debatable since Red and Blue in America were based on code from their Blue Version. But JP Green = NA Blue in terms of actual content. But, it is correct that we never had an actually green (the color not version) cart in English. Can you post a picture of it? Maybe we can pin it to a specific bootleg? Some bootlegs are pretty high quality, so the fact that you were able to beat most of the game doesn't mean it's real.
