This being exclusive to the region certainly shouldn't be dismissed all together.

Competitive battling may have certain limitations that will place one form holding the item in a different tier, or outright ban the use of the item in competitions like the world championship and wifi battles. As many legendaries are.

With exception to Mewtwo, only event legends are banned from Nintendo tournaments and the Mega Stones are found in game with exception to Blazikenite. By the same standards only Mega Blaziken would be banned allowing all the others to participate.

They have said exclusiveness on other things that have passed over before. If its part of the main game series it will pass over when the new generations come about. Ages ago they used to say Pokemon were exclusive to specific regions, now you can find most of them everywhere. They said that the Unova Pokemon were exclusive to their region and we'll have Unova Pokemon in the Kalos Region.

I don't think we have to worry about many Mega evolutions getting banned from competitive battling. Sure, maybe Blaziken and Mewtwo just because they are already Uber as it is. That's about it.

The problem with Mega-Poke in competitive battling is that you will have to waste your equip slot on the -ite item. No Choice Scarf/Band/Specs, Leftovers, Life Orb, Focus Sash, Chesto Berry, Ballon, etc. Many of these items are essential so not having the opportunity to equip them makes Mega-Poke much less overpowered then they would originally seem.

As it was stated, pokemon now may be able to hold more than one item as read on the offical site, however it is not clear.

Actually, what you see on the official site may just be convenience, they might show the possible equippable items for your pokémon besides the status screen when equipping so as to speed up the process.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 9th, 2013 9:13 AM

MegaMawile may be OP considering it's ability, especially if it gains some speed and attack.

blue August 9th, 2013 9:14 AM

Anyone else think that if Bunnelby gets an evolution it will become Normal/Ground type? The fact that it is the Digging Pokémon and it can burrow with it's ears makes me think that way idk..

Most Likely, I can see that happening.
Wonder if our new Pikaclone will be the first Pikaclone to evolve?

Proably, it looks like a first stage, even more so than the last four generations Pikaclones.

I just realized that Bunnelby may be our regional rodent...

I do! I think the brown color will be more prevalent that the gray. I 'd love to see an evolution with an Earth coat.

If Bunnelby is the regional rodent then I'm pretty sure it will be my favourite out of them all, I'm already loving its design and I look forward to seeing its evolution too.

jfuze174 August 9th, 2013 9:30 AM

I hope they give a good reason towards why these pokemon are the only ones that get mega forms like these pokemon were worshiped in that region or something

For me it's in the bottom with Patrat...

I wonder if Lucario and Mewtwo's will also be events as those three are the ones featured in the official site and are rare, Lucario having been obtainable through egg in it's generation of origin, Mewtwo is a legendary. Just like how Blaziken is a starter and we get only one of it.

I'm hoping that the next batch will be another six, those being Mew, Zoroark, Togekiss, Sceptile, Steelix, and Gogoat...

jellotime91 August 9th, 2013 10:05 AM

I think Zoroak, Tyranitar, and Snorlax are all going to get Mega evolutions, too. I mean they were shown off with Pokemon-amie earlier (along with Lucario).

I think Pokemon-amie might also play a part in mega evolutions, since pokemon.com says there are other requirements in order for your Pokemon to mega evolve in battle, and they've told us Pokemon-amie will aid us in battle but they haven't said how.

Snowdrop August 9th, 2013 10:28 AM

I'm kind of laissez-faire about this whole thing. I'm glad Nintendo of Pokemon challenged themselves or at least had the nickers to try something really different instead of just doing the same formula again. But they kept the Japanese names? Mega? Seriously? That has got to be the most overused word in the whole damn gaming industry! I wish they could've come up with some other name, but it's really a nitpick. What I want most is to see the rest of the new Pokemon this generation has to show!

SolarAbusoru August 9th, 2013 10:35 AM

I still wanna see a Mega Luxray.

Also, wouldn't it be pretty cool if, when you beat Korrina, you can revisit her gym again afterwards and actually take part in races on the gym track?

metalhand August 9th, 2013 10:44 AM

i hope to see mega chrarizard, mega tyranitar, mega sceptile and mega zoroark

and i won't be suprised to see mega pikachu...

MegaRaichu, I would think. I mean, I would assume only the final evolution in the chain would get a Mega Form.

I do certainly like the idea of Mega Pokemon. I have already stated that it's a bit Digimon-y, but I can live with it. Although, some forms (Pfft, Ampharos) could use just a little bit more to them. (Like, how is that Ampharos part Dragon-type? Lol)

I can't wait for X & Y. They look great. C:

jfuze174 August 9th, 2013 10:58 AM

I hope they don't go overboard with the megas even though I do feel like there should be more megas I do t feel like alot of pokemon should get a megavolve also it should be very very hard to do meaning a whole lot of training and special items just to get megas

Iceshadow3317 August 9th, 2013 11:07 AM

These are not the only 6 megalutions. It has been confirmed by Serebii, I think, that more will be revealed next month.

I for one think a MegaEmpleon would look extremely awesome. I also would like to be a MegaTyranitar.

Quote:

Following yesterdays reveal of the new Pokémon, and the Mega Evolutions, some clear images have surfaced which showcase some of these Pokémon in battle. It also provides a few further bits of information. First, Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they are holding a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are a type of item like Evolutionary Stones and include specific items such as the Blazikenite that the event Torchic holds. The Blazikenite is not found within normal gameplay. It also confirms that Mega Evolutions are temporary, being only in battle.
It confirms that not all Pokémon will have Mega Evolutions. The Master Tower has a connection to Mega Evolutions
It also confirms stat increases, stating that MegaLucario's Attack is higher. MegaAbsol has increased Attack & Speed.
We also can confirm that Meekuru has the ability Sap Sipper. Finally, it also confirms that Super Training will increase Pokémon's "Kiso" Points. This is what EVs are commonly called in Japan.
05:33: Next month's CoroCoro to feature new Pokémon, new Mega Evolutions and type chart featuring the Fairy-type

i say mega pikachu because as the mascot of pokemon he always get exclusive things...

someone here said that pokemon x and y gonna be the most selling games since red and blu-which is amazing! i have high expectation for this games!

I think it's high time they make Raichu shine. They had a special Pichu, and Pikachu has an item that increases it's stats...and Raichu has...nothing...a Mega could encourage people to evolve their Pikachu's.

I'll like to see all the regional birds getting Megas. Nocowl can Megaevolve into a Psychic/Flying type. Imagine a Mega Staraptor... it could be made into Fighting/Flying. A Mega Talonflame can be coated in flames and look phoenix like. MegaSwellow can be Electric/Flying (I know it seems random but it can be hilarious in hindsight as the anime had golden armor Swellow). I don't know what they could do with the two regional pigeons though...

SolarAbusoru August 9th, 2013 11:39 AM

I'm still wondering how Korrina knows about Mega Pokémon, I guess she's a student at the tower of Mastery maybe? could she be a part time researcher alongside her jobs as Gym Leader and skater?

SnowpointQuincy August 9th, 2013 11:41 AM

The whole idea is silly and the item that allows it to happen isn't even IN THE GAME. It must be downloaded from somewhere else.

I have always wanted evolutions for Mawhile and Absol.... but Not like THIS!

Ammako August 9th, 2013 11:44 AM

I hope that any of the Pokémon with Mega-evolutions can Mega-evolve during battle.
It would be kinda annoying to be limited to brand new obtained Pokémon, I'd like to be able to use Mega-Blaziken in battle using my shiny Blaziken.

Only the Blazikenite is obtainable only through event, the official site states that all other Mega Stones can be found in the game itself in hidden areas.

The official site stated that Mega forms are temporary forms that Many Pokémon transform into only during battle as long they're holding their respective Mega Stone, they revert to normal when the battle ends.
It's not restricted to new Pokémon.

*Icecold* August 9th, 2013 11:54 AM

Overpowered Pokémon digivoled to... Even more powerful, super detailed and unneeded upgraded piece of Tauros that is only in the game to keep our attention!!

If Game Freak wants to impress us so very much, just give Mawile and Absol the evolutions everyone's bawling over. That would tide us over...

Entermaid August 9th, 2013 11:54 AM

Oh gawd, I keep eyeing up the scans and I am beginning to crush on these damn Megas!
At least a couple of them. Maybe change to a game that I have loved for, hmm, about 16 years, it was just too overwhelming to completely alter the 3-stage evolution. Since, I am not at all into competitive battling, I really don't have a HUGE issue with this. And, who knows, I might begin to actually like them. For now, I feel neutral, which is a major change from yesterday - MAJOR!!!

I will definitely give this megalution thing a fair shake. I just wished they at least called them awaken formes or something, you know, not tacky :p

Because Pikachu is the mascot gamefreak try over the years to improve it and make it useful without evolve it. And give it mega form is a perfect way to encourage people to use it.

I hope you are right and this generation they will promote Raichu(which i like alot unlike Pikachu which i really hate), but i found it hard to believe...

Iqid Loopz August 9th, 2013 11:59 AM

Soooo basically, A few selected Pokemon can go into Super Saiyan mode via holding it's respective MegaStone.

I personally approve it, as a change/twist. But take out nerf guns through out the time of its release to balance stuff, cause it just sounds OP as it is. Like come on,I can picture MegaLucario using a more powerful beefy Hadouken

Did they speculate how we getting the Stones? If they are rare to border line 99% extinction rare within the game and irl events, then that would be good.

And some of me is just like, some MegaPokemon are some what not necessary. ex, MegaAmphoros, MegaAbsol and MegaMawile should be regular evolution forms (Remove some streamers of random stuff that are like covering them). Mewtwo, Lucario, and Blaziken (Well sort of...meh...mixed about Blazy) are understandable. Cause you know, having Legendary Pokemon, borderline Legendary Pokemon, starter Pokemon and Pokemon who already have a 3 chained evolution stagers given extra evolution stages are apparently illegal to society, life, Mew and Arceus.

But I can't judge and condemn Mega Evolutions. I haven't tried them so My opinion is open other then that. BUT If my team gets their ish pushed in deep and gets wiped out by one or more Megas. I will demand a nerf bomb strike on their souls! Bllarg!

On the other topics. The new Pokemon look really cute...I want to kick them over a football post (I tend to kick plushies and cute, fluffy soft looking things, idk why. Call it a fetish? Don't judge me)

But yeaa I hope we get more leakage from GameFreak/Nintendo/Pokemon

Like I'm imagining the Pokemon that may have Mega Evo's. Mega Marowak, Gyarados, Sudowoodo, Exeggcutor, and Carnivine. And it's like awesome, but a bit painful stingy to see the Pokemon we got attach to...turning into total butt kicking, name taking, bamfs. Visually and appearance for them, I'm excited. Fighting them in battle, not really looking for the black outs I'm going to endure.

Mega Winter is Coming

*Icecold* August 9th, 2013 12:01 PM

Ah yes, I forgot about those new bunny thing and Gogoat pre-evo. I don't see a problem with them... I mean, sure more "generic rodents" but I for one love the generic rodents. Bibarel and Furret rock!

Now all I need is the evolution for Chespin and some cat Pokémon and I'm set.

Chr. Draco August 9th, 2013 12:12 PM

In my opinión, I see mega evolutions like a form to use a special, ultimate or something like that for pokemon (like smash balls in super smash that allows you to use a special move or mode or like in the final fantasy series when you are in trance mode or use an ítem or magic that allows you to use stronger versions of your attacks or different abilities or just increase your stats duing battle).
We don't know yet how it will work, but it may be a good idea, who knows. The thing is if people will get used to it or simply complaint about it. New generation, new rules.

The new pokemon may look cute, but they may also get an evolution that may look scary, epic, strong, etc., also the new rodent of the region may also be able to use that strategy of the focus sash.

And I think, if blaziken is getting a mega, it would be obvious to speculate that the other starters of every region will get a mega to make things fair.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 9th, 2013 12:13 PM

I can't wait to discover more Mega evolutions and how they work in game. Hopefully they'll keep some things secret for a surprise.

metalhand August 9th, 2013 12:38 PM

I think some mega evos will be kept in secret for the sequels/3rd version or some remake and not all of them will be revealed in x and y(just like they did with kyurrem black and white forms).

*Icecold* August 9th, 2013 12:44 PM

I know!! We should have mega evolutions for legendaries!!

Mew could be all tall and more shiny!! And Darkrai could be glowing in purple energy!! Ooh, ooh! Zekrom would have big muscles and Reshiram would have blonde flowing hair!!

L0RD G3NGAR August 9th, 2013 12:52 PM

Mew has been getting nothing lately. Mew has no mega, has base stats that are lower than MewTwo's. Mew has no special item, and I think has had alot less events than Mewtwo. But releasing megas this way leads me to believe ethier in these versions or the sequel will be megas of these two main legendarys. MegaMew would be awesome tho. I hope they're not making Megas OP tho. They also NEED a posion mega. Posion still needs a boost.

DamienHelvian August 9th, 2013 1:18 PM

Does anybody even know why gamefreak does this kind of thing?
It's obvious
focus groups
crappy focus groups that THINK they represent the rest of society, but they don't
they don't know anything about what we really want

But this will probably work out well in the end, like it always does.

blaziken25 August 9th, 2013 1:25 PM

They look really cool. I like them!

I.T. August 9th, 2013 1:39 PM

A lot of people in this thread seem to forget that the Mega Pokemon are an optional feature not a required one. I personally don't like the idea so I won't use it. *shrugs*

ricki13th August 9th, 2013 2:38 PM

I love the new rabbit pokemon bunnelby its kinda cool and looks like one of those cartoon rabbits.

http://www.pokemonxy.com/_ui/img/_en/screenshots/august_p13_07.jpg

Being the digging pokemon it reminds me of diglett cause its also a digging pokemon so once it evolves (which I'm looking forward to) it may become a Normal/Ground type which is pretty cool.

http://www.pokemonxy.com/_ui/img/_en/screenshots/august_p13_09.jpg


Dedenne looks like more like Raichu's pre-evo than Pikachu lol. Its fat like the original pikachu you get in Pokemon Yellow. The electric/fairy typing is also pretty cool so it may not be as bad as what some may make it but then again no one knows the base stats of any pokemon yet.

http://www.pokemonxy.com/_ui/img/_en/screenshots/august_p13_01.jpg

With one more corocoro leak next month I expect some more Megaevolutions, starters evolution, and all the gym leaders announced. So the next may not be as big as this since this is the scoop of the century but it may have just as much info to drive home and sell the games right before the release date.

SolarAbusoru August 9th, 2013 3:00 PM

I just can't wait to hear the music themes for the gyms, gym leader and Lumios, and I also wonder if Mega Evolution also adds extra instruments to the battle music maybe? (doubtful, but it'd be cool)

I definitely love Bunnelby, and given it uses Dig I am hoping its evolution gets a Ground-type, it would bring another unused type combination to the scene, and one I always wanted to see. If it is the early-route rodent, I'd finally want to use an early-route rodent for once because this thing reminds me of cartoon rabbits too like what you said.

And while Dedenne looks like Raichu in some way, it's based on a hamster which I don't believe we have seen a Pokemon based on it yet, now only if they made a dolphin Pokemon. Although the name looks pretty hard to say, I might say it as "dee-den" for now until I hear the official pronunciation.

Also, Skiddo is confirmed to get Sap Sipper as an ability so I'm betting Gogoat will get that ability too. In the trailer, Skiddo was seen using a Grass attack which looks a lot like Leaf Blade to me.

Entermaid August 9th, 2013 5:09 PM

^Oh, I have by referring to him as DAY-DEN, but you could certainly be right. And it's nice to see someone else given Bunnelby some love!

It's name makes me think of Dende from DBZ
I figured it was pronounced Deh-den or Deh-denay
Although, Knowing pokemon, Day-den might be right, or Day-denay

But, I completely missed the badge shape which nearly confirms fighting. Nearly...

Has anyone else thought of the possibility of a...
Dual-type gym?

Entermaid August 9th, 2013 6:09 PM

I have thought about it, but I just don't know if GF will break that mold, but from the looks of it, it certainly could be a possiblity given the mold breaking we have observed thus far. It is odd that Viola's type was revealed while the rest are not. But, I really like the idea of a dual gym with a two-member team. Like Liza and Tate just with different types.

The pokebeach leak, that it mostly confirmed, didn't seem to indicate dual type gyms.

So we'll have to wait and see on this one.

Definitely, Blue needs to keep his unique status as only multityped Gym Leader.

Although I am hoping we get a Dark-type Gym finally. With Korrina, Maylene is no longer the sole female Fighting-type Gym Leader. Both their Sugimori art also depict them kicking, which is some fun coincidence.

Yeah, but Game Freak please break the Dark-type Gym drought. We already had three Dark-type Elite Four members but no Gym Leaders. A Fairy-type Gym would be a great way to learn about the type itself and I remember when a rumor claimed a possible Gym lineup but it was probably fake because Korrina nor a Fighting Gym Leader wasn't mentioned.

And while Dedenne looks like Raichu in some way, it's based on a hamster which I don't believe we have seen a Pokemon based on it yet, now only if they made a dolphin Pokemon. Although the name looks pretty hard to say, I might say it as "dee-den" for now until I hear the official pronunciation.

Also, Skiddo is confirmed to get Sap Sipper as an ability so I'm betting Gogoat will get that ability too. In the trailer, Skiddo was seen using a Grass attack which looks a lot like Leaf Blade to me.

Nice combination; a normal/ground cartoon rabbit, I think probabilities are higher for it's evolution to be that type combination. Also the pokemon that looks like raichu looks a lot like a hamster to me too and also would like a dolphin pokemon in the series too.

So it looks like we have Bug, Rock, Fighting, Electric or the marginal possibility of Steel for gym types.

I also like the idea of a female fighting gym leader.

I don't know if they are going to make a fairy gym or a fairy elite four/champion, but would be interesting; of course, pokemon for being in elite four/champion must be really strong and difficult to defeat, I hope at least some of the new fairy types are strong enough to the level of those dragon types.

Dark seems to be an elite four thing though...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 9th, 2013 8:30 PM

MegaMawile sounds like a force to be reckoned with. If a normal Mawile had Huge power it's attack stat would max out at 590. Now consider that MegaMawile will have higher stats...one of which could be it's attack...and also remember that Mawile can learn a priority move...

Bluerang1 August 9th, 2013 9:10 PM

Don't lie and try to save face. These Mega Pokemon are totally a Digimon copy lol..

Anyway, I'm sure Korrina is a Fighting type leader. Her Gym Badge is a boxing glove.

Can it really be a copy when the thing copied was already a copy of what was copying them?

(I'mnotseriousdon'tyouguysfrakinstart!)

Are we sure its a Badge? I won't doubt she'd be fighting type since she's in Roller Derby gear and that is a brutal sport.

Thank goodness you put that disclaimer or you'll have baited those digimon fans amongst us...

I hope that there'll be more special based fighting types so that she can have a mix. And maybe more special defensive and defensive fighting types too while they're at it.

If anyone wants to talk about copying
Digimon's first thing was the Digital Pet
Which was already DONE by Tamagotchi~
AND! Pokemon came before Digimon. Pokemon was 1996
Digimon Digital Pets were 1997
They copy each other....it's conspiracy I tell you, they must be secretly working together

But I digress, if this new Gym leader is supposed to be the specialist on the Mega stone things
Why not be multitype?

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 9th, 2013 10:02 PM

I wonder if Xerneas and Yvetal will get Megaevolutions...

That might depend on if any other legendaries besides Mewtwo will be getting any....
I think Mewtwo got one because even though it's one of the original biggest....It's severely underused because it lacks power when compared to the pokemon of the newer gens.

Wings Don't Cry August 10th, 2013 12:00 AM

I hoping Korrina doesn't actually use a single type but specializes in high speed Pokemon because she's on roller blades. I know that's wishful thinking on my part but I think it would be a nice change.

Please tell me you're kidding me? Mewtwo has 130 Speed, 154 Sp.Attack, Aura Sphere and Psystrike. It's so fast and powerful it still manages to put just about every other Pokemon to shame. The reason it's underused is because it's banned in competitive play.

I can name one pokemon that can SLAUGHTER mewtwo, and it's not a legendary
Alakazam. The same pokemon I've always used to catch mewtwo.
It can also be easily beaten by Zoroark. Underuse has nothing to do with being banned, I'm talking about normal gameplay not competitive.
Mewtwo, just isn't as good as it used to be.

大輔 August 10th, 2013 12:23 AM

I really love what their doing with pokemon, especially the expansion of culture exchange between the regions. It makes me wonder though, is the pokemon world really just the real world in replacement of pokemon? There is strong evidence of that, especially since they based many places off of real locations in France for X and Y, New York City for America, parts of Japan in the previous 4. Conspiracy theories are fun...

Mewtwo, just isn't as good as it used to be.

That's quite bad reasoning. Firstly using an Alakazam to catch an untrained wild Mewtwo is a very bad comparison. Other than Magic Guard, Mewtwo has an absolute advantage over Alakazam in every possible aspect.

Secondly Zoroak is slower than Mewtwo even though it's a glass canon so Mewtwo would just flatten it before it got to act. Even if Zoroak used Sucker Punch there's no guarantee that Mewtwo will be attacking that turn since it has such a wide move pool.

Thirdly, I'm assuming "normal gameplay" refers to playing the story of the game where Mewtwo isn't available in the most games and is only available at the end of the post game in the ones he's in so there isn't any opportunity to use him. Then you also a multitude of players who flat out refuse to use any legendary Pokemon.

Then you also a multitude of players who flat out refuse to use any legendary Pokemon.

So you think it's simple to just catch a level 70 wild mewtwo with a level 44 alakazam?
And as for zoroark, if you EV train it for speed [which I tend to do with all my pokemon for at least 20 levels, speed is important in all battles], or with the right nature, it could easily out-speed a mewtwo. Focus sash, or razor claw, + night slash, either a one-hit crit K.O. two-turn domination.

Any legendary can be dominated with the right pokemon and the right trainer. And Post-game counts as normal gameplay. The other areas that unlock, and the places that don't have the built-in bans, like Black Tower and Whitetree Hollw.

Another good example, whether you see it as a bad example or not. My prime, Lucario, with Shadow Claw, can easily dominate Mewtwo as well, mewtwo's wide movepool, can't really help it with Lucario's resistances, and Mewtwo's commonly low defense [due to people generally training Sp stats] leaves it open to physical attacks.

P.S. this isnt the thread for discussing this :P

Haza August 10th, 2013 1:23 AM

After seeing so much fanart of Dedenne, I'm obsessed with it. I've got no idea on if I'm pronouncing the name correctly though. I've always hated the names of the Pika-Clones though. Pachirisu, Emolga?! Like... those are not cute or iconic like Pikachu.

I'm currently obsessed with Mega Mawile, and I've always had an appreciation for just regular Mawile. She slays now. My trinity is Mega Mawile, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Lucario. They look like they could be in a totally awesome Pokemon fighting game.

Also, I've hear that it was confirmed that Megas are confirmed to be a Kalos only thing? Is that stupidity true?

blue August 10th, 2013 2:39 AM

Well, the person who provided the rumors that turned out to be true such as Fairy Type, English Names etc said that there is a Bug type Gym, Fairy type Gym and a Fighting type Gym and he was right about the Bug type gym sooo..

They only say only Kalos due to the fact they've only just been discovered in the region, it'll pass to future gens for definite due to other regions beginning to hop on board the Mega bandwagon and providing more Mega Stones, after all, they wouldn't keep something as game changing and huge as this confined to just one region.
That' be like keeping Double Battles exclusive to Hoenn, or keeping the Special/Physical split exclusive to Sinnoh.

MarinoKadame August 10th, 2013 3:26 AM

Mega evolution sound more like Super Saiyan to me than a Digimon copy, even the way they evolve in battle look more like Super Saiyan from Dragonball.

SolarAbusoru August 10th, 2013 3:55 AM

Serebii's updated, apparently the Japanese site says that that can only have One MegaEvolution in battle.
Apparently, this means either only one Pokémon in your team can hold a MegaStone, or, that if you sent out 2 Pokémon holding Megastones during a double battle, only one will change.
It's still a bit vague.

Either way, this means you'll never find someone with an entire team full of Megas.

ppooookkkkkkk August 10th, 2013 6:15 AM

There are two things about mega evolutions I'm hyped to know:

Will all pokemon be able to megavolve or not?

Or they will be just not in x and y, such as whenever a future generation comes they reveal a new mega evolution?


Will legndaries such as Genesect or Arceus be able to evolve?

I'm extremely interested about this! As you know Genesect has a extreme speed version in the animie, and arceus... well shaped the universe with it's thousand arms so?

Grif of Hearts August 10th, 2013 6:32 AM

This actually interests me a lot. It has potential, and while it has its risks Game Freak has yet to disappoint me with a game. I trust that this'll go very well and I'm eager to see more Mega designs!

NiallC August 10th, 2013 7:35 AM

So we have our electric type rodent for Gen 6, I wonder if we'll actually get an evolution for it or whether it'll be another Pachirisu/Emolga.

They said that not every pokemon will get a Mega. They are suppose to reveal more next month. However, they will probably add more in the future. I highly doubt all fully evolved pokemon will get megas even after this generation.

Perriechu August 10th, 2013 8:23 AM

I dunno if this should go here since it wasn't revealed in CoroCoro but a new mega evolution has been revealed; Kangaskhan. It has a new ability called Parental Control which allows its moves to hit twice. It looks like it fights with its baby now. .o.

Treecko August 10th, 2013 8:28 AM

Mega Kangaskhan has been revealed by Masuda himself.



It's baby comes out it's pouch! I'm so happy for this one cause I've always sort wanted something like this.
It's ability, Parental Bond, allows it too hit twice once as the kid and second as the adult I'm assuming.

SolarAbusoru August 10th, 2013 8:33 AM

And this is why Mega Evolution is awesome, the lil baby Kangaskhan can whoop ass itself now.

Hopefully, this kills off the idea of a Kangaskhan pre-evo, as well as the idea of giving Pokémon with BST 465+ another evolution thanks to the existence of Mega Evolutions.

This is actually really cute and badass at the same time, although it doesn't really 'feel' like a real mega evolution considering it's just a Kangaskhan with it's baby out of it's pouch.

Plus, the Parental Bond ability sounds like it could be quite OP.

大輔 August 10th, 2013 8:47 AM

I REALLY love the idea of mega evolution after they created Mega Kangaskhan because it doesn't just seem like an evolution type it's kind of like the pokemon's strength and natural attacking methods are heightened ( in kangaskhan using the baby to fight )

Can attack twice in one turn. That sounds alittle unfair. Does anyone else agree it's alittle OP.

Edit @ 17:14: During the VGC Opening Ceremony, Junichi Masuda revealed a new Mega Pokémon, Mega Kangaskhan. It has the ability Parental Bond that allows its attacks to hit twice in one turn. We'll have pictures and details as soon as possible. Picture thanks to @pklug on Twitter

its probably braviary and natu

Mana August 10th, 2013 9:10 AM

But... but the Kangaskhan is just a normal one with a larger baby?...

So how is it a Mega-Evolution. What a let down. It's appearance looks pretty identical to normal.

It's the Kanga Baby that Mega Evolved

And the baby's appearance is very different, it looks older, has large eyes with visible sclera and red irises (whilst normal kanga baby had single black eyes) It has a wider mouth, and its belly is more intricate with rock like formations, compared to normal kanga baby's flat plain belly.

It's an extremely odd concept, either way, that this now effects the baby kangaskhan (which, really, was just a design-addition rather than useful).

Can we expect a Slowbro/King mega-forme where the shelder evolves instead?

EDIT:// Actually. That would be awesome. A slowbro with a huge angry tail.

pokerex August 10th, 2013 9:17 AM

I don't like this one as much as the other ones. It just doesn't look very different from its normal form. it's pretty cool that the baby can fight though.

With its new ability it will be pretty anoying to go up against that thing

Nope, the bird is also carrying a pokemon that is unsealed and the one on the bottom right is a face. Look closer.

Z25 August 10th, 2013 9:20 AM

I like that it's not much different, since these technicaly aren't evolutions but enhanced forms. You are right though, with something like work up, it's increased stats and ability, he could use hyper beam and take you down in one shot.

Darkrai666 August 10th, 2013 9:23 AM

MegaKangaskhan is a good idea..Kangaskhan Itself Is Pretty Legit And Definitely deserves a Evolution So Mega Forms are good...My only Problem With this is the Design..You Look at MegaMawille MegaBlaziken MegaMewtwo And they are simply Bad-ass But kangaskhan dosen't really change Its Pretty Cool That The baby Kangaskhan Can fight though..
The Kid Grew Up :D
