And Speed boost Blaziken takes a few turns to get going.
and MegaMewtwo's ability may or may not be useful depending on how much sleep moves are used in ubers this generation.

While Insomnia may be a random ability, it is actually extremely helpful against Darkrai which is famous for its Dark Void. Mewtwo has never really had a problem dealing with Darkrai, though. Aura Sphere will take care of it no problem. And, Darkrai is one of the very, very few sleep users in Ubers, so really it's solely meant for countering Darkrai's Dark Void.

For those who dislike the Mega Evolution concept I think its great that Mega Evoltuions are optional and reversible, its a great way to try it out but it not being a mandatory and permanent feature in the evolutionary lines.

Pretty much this and the fact that it is DIFFERENT. Every generation you have people complain that evolution methods aren't growing as fast as the games and now finally we have something that is totally new and we don't know what to expect. This is going to be game changing and for the people who do see that it isn't something they enjoy those can just simply choose to ignore this in-game and play regularly.

I would like to see the dragon types megas; they are my favorites, specially salamence, I hope they give a mega to druddigon too. Ofcourse, we still have to wait until more information is revealed or when the games are finally launched.

I think that image was translated and it was proven that it has nothing to do with Mega Evolutions
Plus, Mewtwo and Absol is missing.

Synerjee August 22nd, 2013 5:46 AM

Now that I think back, Mega Evolutions are starting to grow on me. It would be nicer to have Mega Evolutions for Pokemon that don't evolve though. At least they'll become more usable for people who don't use Pokemon without evolutions.

I was under the impression that people thought evolution methods were growing too fast!

I'm still not entirely sold on Mega Evolution. Its value for me is mostly in alternate designs for Pokémon, but aside from the standard "loldigimon" comparisons, I have two problems with the concept:

- It implies that pokémon with these Mega forms will not be evolved again: it limits future design
- WHY WASN'T NORMAL AMPHAROS THIS COOL

I guess they're only going to give these forms to pokémon they accept to be fully evolved anyway, but I'd really rather have had new Absol / Mawile evolutions than temporary, vaguely superior forms. I'm glad they're not giving Mega Evolutions to all current pokémon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 22nd, 2013 8:37 AM

I see the fossil Pokémon gaining MegaEvolutions as they pretty much look fully evolved and seem to be treated as such...that includes Aerodactyl and Relicanth (the living fossil)(now it can become more powerful without gaining a permanent evolution which would contradict it's dex entry).

Del August 22nd, 2013 3:38 PM

MEGA~Mewtwo rooooooocks!!!!! :D Yayyyyyyyy cant waiiiit!!!!

blue August 24th, 2013 7:19 AM

I hope Relicanth gets a mega evolution, it has great potential and it would certainly boost it upto a higher tier.

GeckoPutt August 24th, 2013 10:06 AM

At first I was a bit taken aback by the Mega Evolutions and didn't know what to think, but now I think that they are such an ingenious way of refreshing some of the older Pokémon to give them a new lease of life without just simply giving them a pre-evolution or evolution.

I'm thoroughly looking forward to exploring what they do, and which ones mega evolve! I think the issue is that people will moan and say how all of the Pokémon games are rehashes of each other, and that they don't change, and then when Game Freak does something as mind-blowing and game changing as this, they hate it and say that there is too much change! -_- Make up your minds, fans!

With the new type match-up chart, I hope that fairy is weak against flying but strong against dark to balance out the legendaries

I haven't thought very much about the Fairy-type and how it would affect the metagame. There was a rumour that Fairy-type was weak against Fire-type moves - has that been confirmed/debunked yet?

Personally, I think the introduction of a new type was long over due (even if I still wish it was called Light-type - not that it matters too much). Personally, I hope it is weak to Poison-type.

Enrique8989 August 24th, 2013 10:45 AM

My thoughts are that Nintendo and GameFreak may be trying to fuse the Trading Card Game and the Video Games, or at least make them very similar. My reasoning for this is that in the TCG, there is the basic stage(I will use Blaziken's evolutionary line for this example) Torchic, Combusken, and Blaziken, but it does not end there. There are also EX Cards that can be placed on top of Blaziken, the final evolution. But does anyone freak out if this happens in the TCG? No, because it has been in the TCG for quite a while, so people are used to them, but put that idea in the VG and suddenly, the VG and the TCG are a bit closer. I don't think that Nintendo is trying to make Pokemon more like Digimon, instead, they are trying to bring together the TCG and the VG, two different ways of playing with people, whether you know them or not.

On a side note...LEDGES DO NOT COMMAND US ANYMORE!! Screw the Mega Evolutions(I think they're pretty cool)!This is where it's at! I see a ledge? That area isn't inaccessible, thanks to the help of my friend, GOGOAT! Trainers worlwide rejoiced at hearing this(I know I did)!

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 24th, 2013 11:34 AM

Now lets hope that we can gain or borrow a Gogoat or pre evo early to jump over those early ledges.

I have a feeling that you'll be able to approach and capture Skiddo early in-game in some sort of Ranch like area, possibly the one that you can see on the website. Since finding out that you can ride both Skiddo and Gogoat and that Gogoat actually has an evolution, I'm very tempted to use them on my team.

Moist August 24th, 2013 1:33 PM

I think there might be a mega:

Weaville
Snorlax
Mr Mime
Sudowoodo (Maybe Oorotto is MegaSudowoodo XD)

A Mega Weavile and Snorlax would be absolutely amazing as I don't see either of them getting evoutions, but I was hoping that Mr. Mime would get one more evolution to complete his evolutionary line. Something similar to either of these?

blue August 25th, 2013 5:01 AM

Yeah, I always thought that if Sudowoodo gets an evolution then Mr. Mime should too, I see those two as counterparts to eachother and with Oorotto having similar characteristics to Sudowoodo it could be a possibility for this generation that we see both a Sudowoodo evolution and a Mr. Mime evolution maybe.

If Oorotto was Sudowoodo's mega form, then they would've just called it MegaSudowoodo from the minute they've introduced it to us. I could be wrong, though. Haha. ^^" I don't think Snorlax will be getting a mega evolution, because it's strong enough as it currently is. As for Weavile and Mr. Mime, I could easily see them getting a mega form. They've lost a lot of their popularity this past gen, so a mega evolution would help them a ton~

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 25th, 2013 9:42 AM

Well Blaziken,Mewtwo, and Lucario gained Megas so I don't see why Snorlax wouldn't in terms of pre existing strength.

Rayquaza 97 August 26th, 2013 7:38 AM

If the guy that found trademarks that correlated with the mega's was right, I'm pretty annoyed they didn't put Venusaur in, because it just doesn't make sense that they would put two starters from gen 1 but just leave Venusaur out. I mean sure I chose Squirtle and I know most people chose Charmander but poor old Bulbasaur shouldn't be left out. However this is just if the guy who found the trademarks is right.

Spinosaurus August 26th, 2013 9:50 AM

I like those mega evolutions. Reminds me of the old days where rumors about 4th evos existed. Makes me feel nostalgic.

And they finally got it RIGHT with the Pikachu wannabe of this region. I'm sick of death of all the ones before that just try to be thin and cute but instead end up just trying too hard. (Unless Marill counts.) But now we finally get one not only cute, but fat, a nice homage to Pikachu's old, superior design.

And that rabbit...
http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/c4/Whiterabbit.png
Mario 64 is one of the best games of all time and I welcome that new Pokemon on my team. I shall name him...MIPS!

Game Freak is getting things RIGHT with this gen, as they should be after the ****fests that were the B/W games. Though the performance and graphical capabilities of the X/Y games are still disappointing as hell, and they still look like PS1 games with terrible frame rates (ignoring the standard that R/S set) and jaggies every where.

Also what the **** am I reading above? They're ignoring the best gen 1 starter? Holy crap.

Sadly none of the games after Emerald have had the same rate as Gen III...the framerate went back down for Gen 4 & 5.

Well Venusaur may not actually be left out as another rumor,says all the Starters have Megas. Plus not all the Megas we have seen were in that list or trademarks such as MegaMawile, so don't give up hope for a MegaVenusaur and other Megastarters not on the list.

And yeah it does bring back nostalgia. I read the Pokégod thing back during Gen III (even though it actually dates back to Gen II) so I knew they were fake but the idea was cool, and now look over ten years later they're a reality.
