I actually thought gen 5 and gen 4 were 60fps. Maybe I'm remembering wrong. They were just slow and clunky as hell for whatever reason compared to R/S/E/FR/LG, but it probably is the frame rate. I was actually told they were 60fps so I had that on my mind ever since. (I'm trusting my eyesight more than people starting now.) I was actually thinking about making the thread regarding how, performance-wise, R/S/E/FR/LG are gonna be on top for a long while and will age the best out of all the main games. Either way, I know X/Y looks to be even worse in that regards, as last I checked it was like...20fps.

And can anyone link me to the supposed rumors? If my favorite Pokemon isn't there (Farfetch'd) I'm gonna slap some Pikachus.

Sudowoodo (Maybe Oorotto is MegaSudowoodo XD)

Or Oorotto is an evolution for Sudowoodo...think about that

I personally don't understand why all of the Mega Evolutions are all HOLY SHIZBALLZ THAT'S AWESOME, and then Mewtwo just turns into a *****...

Sadly Farfetch isn't part of the rumored ones. I'll try to find that link but the list if memory serves right doesn't have Farfetch'd...of the Gen 1 it has the starters, Gengar, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and Jynx.

Spinosaurus August 26th, 2013 6:53 PM

I'm now convinced someone hates Farfetch'd at Game Freak because it spilled coffee on their new suit or something. Farfetch'd will never be a good Pokemon, despite having the best design and idea of all Pokemon. :( They probably ignored Pinsir and Primeape too!

Gyarados and Aerodactyl are awesome enough so I like that. Gengar is a boring choice.

Actually I forgot to add it but Pinsir was also on the list...got to find that source...it's somewhere in the many pages in the rumor thread...no mention of Primeape though...

Spinosaurus August 26th, 2013 7:10 PM

Game Freak finally listened! (If the rumor is true.)

Pinsir, pal, you'll finally be good. :')

blue August 27th, 2013 2:52 AM

I really don't think Pinsir would benefit from an evolution, nor does it need one for that matter. It would be better with a pre-evolution IMO.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 27th, 2013 8:15 AM

I think Pinsir could use another typing...maybe Dark? It'll be our first Bug/Dark Pokémon (can't beleive it hasn't been done yet...) for added stab.

Spinosaurus August 27th, 2013 8:22 AM

I heard the guy who leaked fairy types confirmed Scizor will have a Mega Evo. Is that true? If so, boooring. Why are Game Freak giving Scizor (let alone BLAZIKEN) a mega evo when he's already really, really good. If not too good.

Guy needs to be viable. He's really useless right now.

I think it's mostly due to rule of cool...nothing else...Pinsir's cool so hopefully it'll get something this gen :3

Also it's not as bad as the Gen 3 list...it includes the likes of the Eon duo and Deoxys...fear for your Pokémon's lives.

Spinosaurus August 27th, 2013 8:50 AM

Of all the Gen 3 Pokemon they're the starters and 3 legendaries? What a huge waste. Hariyama is cool enough for a mega evo, why didn't HE get one?

Hariyama, Aggron, Flygon, gen 3 has a plethora of cool badass pokemon that everyone already loves, but could definitely benefit from a competitive boost in the form of mega evolutions.

Aggron could use something that makes him more specially defensive, or an ability that helps him more defensively, something that makes super effective only 1.25-1.5x effective as opposed to 2-4x?
Same with Flygon, already with a pretty cool typing and 2 immunities, could see something that turns him more into a tank, rather than a team supporter or boosting sweeper.

The last couple of generations have contributed to a power creep, and faster battles with overpowered sweeping pokemon. I think it's time to bring back the viability in using a tanking and boost set-up, these at least help to create more interesting and creative battles and strategies.

Orifiel August 28th, 2013 2:49 AM

Mega Bisharp would be great if so.. I kinda hate this "Mega-evolution" idea.
Oh, well.

DamienHelvian August 28th, 2013 8:59 PM

I've been thinking about something
Mew is a fully evolved pokemon, even though connected to Mewtwo, it's still a standalone.
Where's it's mega form? D;

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 28th, 2013 9:52 PM

All legends are technically fully evolved so any I guess could have Megas...think though if any legends should have them it should be the non mascot trios such as the birds, Beasts, Regis, Lake fairies, and Kami trio. Oh and the Musketeer quad too. Well maybe not to the Kami trio as they formes...especially Landorus who is stronger than the other too...

Mew isn't a mascot, and It's lovable as chiz. Everyone loves Mew, ever since it's technically illegal beginnings in gen I [A very good story... The reason it was technically illegal, is because it was inserted after the Debugging, when no changes can legally be made to a game] And it's humble start as a myth and glitch...
Then the event releases, which they could very well do for a Mega release like the other events they already have planned.
It is perhaps the MOST deserving pokemon of all. Then again, a Mega Mew, which can learn EVERYTHING, [speaking of which Smeargle should get one too. Maybe with an ability that auto-sketches a move used against it or something. Or maybe that Chameleon ability that Kecleon has ;D], would be a feat to behold.
((Whooo tangents within a single post)))

Edit: Actually, isn't Phione technically not a fully evolved pokemon? And it's a legend.
And then there's Shaymin which already has Formes.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 28th, 2013 10:04 PM

I'm open to the 600 stat legends getting one too as they aren't as broken as Mewtwo and co. Victini could benefit from a MegaEvolution...and a Jiranchi surrounded by rubies and sapphires or emeralds would look cool, alluding to how when it goes to asleep it becomes/is encased in crystal.

Jirachi could also get something aside from a mega. A sleep form, like how Darumaka has Zen Mode. They could use that crystal state as a form of its own.
Darumaka might not get a Mega either, as its ability is what allows it to enter zen mode (right?)
I'd be surprised if Victini doesn't get one. Like Mew, it is HEAVILY loved, but not as strong or versatile.
Most popular pokemon, legends or not, are highly likely to get Megas. [I personally wouldn't be surprised if Pikachu got a Mega form instead of Raichu, or maybe even both of them]
I'm still curious about that... the Stone Evolution pokemon....

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 28th, 2013 11:04 PM

Imagine MegaEeveelutions...
Sure hope it's Raichu and not Pikachu...or if they do Pikachu that it'll be both.

I like my idea of Ash's pikachu accidentally, somehow absorbing a megastone (Like groudon's orb), and whenever it gets into a critical state, transforms.

Sceptile14 August 29th, 2013 1:30 AM

In my opinion, the mega evolutions are a very good way of giving old Pokemon evolutions without making them overpowered. Think about it, if Absol or something got eviolite it would be a monster, which is why I think that gamefreak needed to do this. If eviolite wasn't in the game, they would probably have normal evolutions, but gamefreak need to balance the game.

JayTheKing August 30th, 2013 6:55 AM

Other Pokemon getting Mega evos?
 
What other Pokemon do you think will get Mega evolutions?

I think Houndoum and i will explain how:First he gets a normal evo making him two headed and then a Mega evo making him three headed.
Also the Kalos' starters' final evos.
I think that we will get to fight Team Flare's leader using our mega formed starters against his Mega formed houndoom evo.

Jacrad August 30th, 2013 8:05 AM

Well there's the obvious. Swampert and Sceptile. It's unlikely that they would put Blaziken in the position of having an alternate form that makes it more powerful than the other two starter Pokemon. Starter Pokemon do have an emphasis on balance and I don't think that Nintendo would want to break that.

Xerneas and Yveltal. I really haven't seen anyone put this out there, but wouldn't it make a lot of sense for Xerneas and Yveltal to have Megaevolutions? We know that legendaries are not exempt from having a Megaevolution because of Mewtwo. Both appear on the cover for the game and on the Japanese cover the accent mark over the 'e' in 'Pokemon' is the DNA symbol featured during Megaevolutions. Megaevolving these two Pokemon could even serve as a plot point where Team Flare, or another team if there happens to be more than one, try to artificially Megaevolve the two legendaries. It would also make sense that the developers would want the two Pokemon to embody all the new content in the game, being that they are the mascots.

Now here's something to ponder on. Will Ditto be able to transform into Pokemon's Megaforms? I actually want to see Ditto play a role in the game, even if it's just a line of dialogue in passing.
