I think Pyroar is Litleo evolution, awesome!

So if you catch a Gible you are not guaranteed to have a mega garchomp.

Also the hint of having to grow a bond with the pokemon. I do agree that they are not going to make it entirely simple to obtain these mega evolutions

possible mega evolutions for all these guys

The problem I have with this picture is that is a photoshop of this picture

http://images.christianpost.com/full/64330/pokemon-x-and-y.jpg?w=262

This picture in it self has some suspicious flaws like it includes Tyranitar and Metagross in the Mega Evolution list when apparently the only 3 pseudo legendaries to get Mega Evolutions are Dragonite, Garchomp and Salamance.

Cerberus87 September 12th, 2013 4:34 AM

The boys at 4chan (of all places!) already shot it down as fake. Something about the Japanese spelling of the regions, especially Kanto which is in kanji (like the real Kanto region in Japan) instead of katakana (as it's used in the games).

bobandbill September 12th, 2013 4:34 AM

Yeah, that image is a fake apparently. Only take stuff for granted that's posted by the bigger pokemon fansites as real, rather than chzbgr images.

blue September 12th, 2013 4:36 AM

You can tell that image is fake, it's poorly made and it's just an English rip of the previous Japanese Mega Evolution Pokémon Sheet that was circulating the internet a couple of days back.

Decimosoma September 12th, 2013 4:41 AM

I'm glad it is fake, more hopes for Hydreigon to get a Mega evolution.

Bluerang1 September 12th, 2013 5:33 AM

OMG Pyroar LOVE! The design, the name, this is the best Pokemon I've seen in a while.

And definitely getting the knight, witch, and something else from the starters.

Powerserge September 12th, 2013 5:47 AM

Oh my goodness.......every time I see a mega-evolution of an older pokemon, I cringe.....and this new Mewtwo mega-evolution is just the most ridiculous looking one yet.

I am disappointed by all the starter evolutions except maybe froakie's, but the second stage is almost always goofy looking, so it is to be expected.....

The other new Gen VI Pokemon look cool though. I am happy that the original ideas are still likable at least. I can already tell I will like everything other than the mega-evolutions. And I am so happy that Pyroar turned out the way I hoped he would! So freakin' awesome.

Feels like Fennekin's evo is going to use the stick to perform moves. It's too cool.

Ok wow. Now I love Fennekin's evo. I thought the stick was a part of its body.

In the screenshot you can just barely make out Tailunar actually USING The stick. That's AWESOME.

Sceptile14 September 12th, 2013 6:09 AM

I'm guessing that Pyroar is Litleo's first evolution right? I don't know whether it has been confirmed or not but it is pretty obvious.
Also I've got a feeling that there will be a second evolution. At the moment, it's just a normal lion. In its baby stage it had a scorpian tail, so I am holding out hopes that it evolves again into a fire/poison Manticore, it could also be number 666. The three starter Pokemon and there evolutions equal 658, next you have scatterbug, and its two other evolutions, which bring it to 661. Fletchling and Talonflame bring it up to 663, and Litleo, and two more evolutions would bring up 666.

Pinkie-Dawn September 12th, 2013 6:20 AM

Darn it, GF, quit tempting me to run a Fire type team with Pyroar's awesome design. Now I'm going to expect it take the the role of Simba, while Luxray takes the role of Scar, by the time those new Pokemon-themed fanart of The Lion King arrive.

Like Dragon types, Steel types were one of the most dominant types in the metagame due to resisting almost every type, to the point where it was a must for every Pokemon to have Steel as a secondary type in order to be OU, as long as it's not paired with another type that hinders it. Just look at Ferrothorn for example, it has outclassed a lot of Grass types, in terms of team support, due to its Steel typing.

Well, Steel is still resistant to plenty: 8 types, not including itself. And its also still immune to Poison type. With it getting a new strength against Fairy, the people at Gamefreak must have felt that it was becoming too OP, like Psychic back in Gen 1.

Also, the orange in the main spells "Fire" in Japanese. I mean, I can't believe how much I want one of these.
I am anticipating that the Litleo line will be EXTREMELY popular among the fanbase.

Well, you can do what I'm doing: get both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y and then pick Fennekin in one and another starter in the other. That way, in one you don't have to worry about choosing between Litleo and Fennekin.

Cerberus87 September 12th, 2013 6:46 AM

Why did everyone think Litleo was going to become a manticore? From what I know, the mythological beast with the head of a lion and the tail of a scorpion/snake is a chimera, not a manticore.

classiccartoonsftw September 12th, 2013 6:49 AM

Is that Mega Evolution page fake? In that case, there's still hope for Mega Evolutions for Raichu, Arbok, and Mightyena.

On a side note, Pyroar is pretty cool. However, I think I'll choose between it and Talonflame as soon as the games are out.

A Chimera is a beast with the body of a lion, the heads of a lion and a goat, and a tail that ends in a snake's head.

A Manticore is a beast with the body of a lion, the head of a human, and the tail of either a dragon or a scorpion.

The tuft of fur on the end of his tail is pointed like a Scorpion's tail. Manticores are flying lions with scorpion tails.

Chimera has a snake's head for a tail.

Yep, it looks like someone made it in less than an hour and decided to post it. I would be shocked if they didn't give the Pikachu line a mega evolution.

When I saw the stick I thought it was going to use the stick for battle in a wand like way, seems I was right :3
@ Pinky-Dawn. Yes at this point my whole team will be made up of like 5 fire types...I got to decide on my fires now.

The ??? September 12th, 2013 8:25 AM

wow, my dream has come true, a more badass Garchomp!

BeefTaco September 12th, 2013 8:30 AM

Heres more info on Pyroar if it hasnt already been posted.

"Following on from the accidental leak last night, the Pokémon Pyroar has been officially revealed by The Pokémon Company in conjunction with website IGN. It's a Fire/Normal-type Pokémon with the abilities Unnerve and Rivalry and it can learn the move Echoed Voice and is classed as the Royal Pokémon."

from Serebii

SkyRyder September 12th, 2013 8:33 AM

Y'know, at first I really underestimated Pyroar's design. I expected too much out of a Litleo evolution, hoping it to be a menacing chimera/manticore with a flaming mane, etc.

After looking at its official art, though, I am really starting to open up to it now!

http://serebii.net/xy/pyroar.png

Please, GameFreak, give this thing Flare Blitz.

BeefTaco September 12th, 2013 8:43 AM

I don't appreciate it still being Fire/Normal. Normal type doesn't do much to help Fire type, it only gives it immunity to Ghost and with the vast amount of Fighting types is not worth it in my opinion.

http://www.francotempesta.eu/img/paleoart2/big/08-amargasaurus-GEOWORLD.jpg

The evolution for the "t-rex" one, I'm betting, will be more like a carnotaurus:
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/864967329503622806/36B2E2529B73910364D63EC560BF0FE6AF289F72/

Considering the crest on its head I can see it spreading across its body and turning into a proper Amargasaurus. That'd be sick as hell. An ice-type Amargasaurus Pokemon. Too bad it'd be "cute" or something if the current design is anything to go by . :/

Carnotauros is terrific (my favorite dinosaur, probably) but when you consider it it'd be weird if a T-Rex evolves into a Carnotauros which is a significantly smaller dinosaur. I propose Carcharodontosaurus or Giganotosaurus.

Hate to be that guy to you but Brontosaurus doesn't exist. The Dinosaur you're thinking of is Apatosaurus.

I'm catching one and naming mine Simba. THIS is the Lion Pokemon we've all been waiting for!

As a bonus they should make the shiny version white. (Too bad people aren't old enough here to get the reference.)

EDIT: You know normal makes sense considering it's supposed to be just like a normal Lion with pyromancy.

Kimba~

I loved Litleo from the beginning but Pyroar ooooh my gosh I love it. So majestic compared to the cartoonish pre-evolution that a lot of people disliked. Its mane totally looks like a fire blast unless it's just me seeing that.
