What Mega evolution so far is your...
 

State your favorites and least favorites out of the revealed ones so far. And remember to give an explanation for your opinion, without being rude to others.

If you feel like discussing more in-depth about this feature in the new generation of pokémon, go to this thread instead! This is just for picking favorites or least favorites.

I'll try to list them in the post here rather than make a poll (since there might be more soon and I don't feel like editing a poll).

Esper September 4th, 2013 10:25 AM

It's easily Mawile for me. They got what I think is a perfect blend of Making-It-Look-New and Not-Overdoing-It. For comparison, Lucario is way too much and Charizard is too much the same as it was. Plus I dig the three-color palette they used.

blue September 4th, 2013 10:29 AM

Tough choice, torn between Mawile & Blastoise. I think due to it having the most change from it's previous evolution I'm going to go with Mawile, it was already one of my favorites but it just looks that much more awesome now.

Ayselipera September 4th, 2013 10:31 AM

Really the only two I'm looking forward to are Mawile's and Absol's. I think they're the only two that look decent enough and were in need of some sort of evolution, upgrade, whatever etc. Although at the same time I'm kind of disappointed, mainly for Mawile because it's one of my favorite Pokemon and yes it desperately needed an evolution, but instead it got an evolution that it can only be in battle. Which sucks since I think it's mega evolution looks great, but whatever at least it got something honestly.

I never use legendaries so I could care less about Mewtwo's mega evolution. It looks okay to me though. Nothing too crazy about it really.

The mega evolutions for the Kanto starters and for Ampharos are okay. Although Ampharos does look a little silly. The only one I'd want to use is Venusaur since it's my favorite starter, but I'm not that crazy about it!!!

Anyway my least favorites are Lucario, Blaziken, and I don't even really know what to make of Kangaskhan lol. I've never liked Lucario to begin with and the new mega evolution I think only made it worse for me. As for Blaziken I just don't see the "coolness" I guess. Idk it's sad because I really love Blaziken as is anyway. :(

Anyway my condensed version of favorites to least...
- Mawile
- Absol
- Venusaur
- Charizard
- Ampharos
- Blastoise
- Blaziken
- Lucario

-Mewtwo & Kangaskhan I don't really care about at all.

Sirfetch’d September 4th, 2013 12:24 PM

My favorite so far is probably Mega Blaziken. I am such a huge fan of Blaziken as it already is and the mega evolution that it received is absolutely amazing. It just looks so badass and the way the flames flow with the wind is astounding. I cannot wait to use this Pokemon.

I don't really have a least favorite because I like them all so much, but if I had to pick one I'd say Lucario because his design might be a little overboard but other than that I love them all <3

Mr Cat Dog September 4th, 2013 12:28 PM

Honestly? Probably Ampharos, but probably for reasons to do with nostalgia than anything else. I was a big fan of it when playing through Gen II, but it sort of fell out of favour when quicker, stronger Electric types came along in future games. But this Mega Evolution (and the very 80s hairstyle it's rocking!) it has should give it some edge, especially with the new typing.

moon September 4th, 2013 12:41 PM

My favorite is MegaBlaziken. I loved using Blaziken in the Hoenn games, but I always had qualms about its looks... Those are gone with this form. MegaBlaziken looks amazing, it looks as it should have looked from the beginning in order to be a truly cool pokémon.

Other than that, I appreciate what they did with MegaMawile :) It looks great imo. Not too overdone, and certainly not as puny as regular Mawile kind of does. Also MegaAbsol has wings! That is so nice, finally Absol gets an upgrade.

My least favorites are Venusaur and... Yeah. Venusaur. It just looks silly :( I usually like Venusaur and that whole line. But the little flower in the forehead? The slightly taller tree and li'l vines? They could have done so much more, like letting it grow together with the plant more or make the flower spread out or some cool leaves or make Venusaur get up on its hind legs upon evolution or something. This was so disappointing for me. I guess it's good that some people seem to like it though.

next, give us MegaWeavile and I'll fav it even more than I do :D

Livewire September 4th, 2013 12:45 PM

Right now it's Charizard, by far. I love the more dragon-like motif. Then probably Venusaur. And then probably Mewtwo.

Snowdrop September 4th, 2013 1:06 PM

Flippin' Mega Blastoise! That thing is awesome! Charizard looks really cool, too, but I think they could've done better with Venusaur.

Kikaito plush September 4th, 2013 1:24 PM

Mega Absol as it comes with wings

wings=best thing ever

Flushed September 4th, 2013 1:46 PM

God dang I knew they'd do Charizard next. That being said, it looks pretty sick so I'm gonna have to go with Charizard. Concept-wise, I think Kanghaskan's joey thing being able to battle is pretty awesome as well.

Brendino September 4th, 2013 10:58 PM

Right now, my favorite two mega evolutions are Mega Absol and Mega Kangaskhan. I started using Absol quite a bit in both HeartGold and White 2, and was always disappointed that it didn't get an evolution. Granted, normal and mega evolutions are two different things, but I'm glad to see it wasn't forgot about in all of this.

As for Mega Kangaskhan, I think I'm more excited than anything that its baby finally does something other than just sit there (in fact, it gives us a whole extra attack). That being said, I don't know if it's quite Mega compared to the other thus far, but rather Kangaskhan and old enough to finally battle Kangaskhan. I'll take it, though.

NOW WHERE'S MY MEGAMEGANIUM AND MEGAYANMEGA?!

Hiatus September 5th, 2013 12:43 AM

Mega Mawile is my favorite. I used to have this Pokémon on my team in Pokémon Ruby, and was usually the first one to be sent out. I've always wanted this Pokémon to have an evolution, and imagined it to look something like this when it evolved. Charizard's also got a quite nice-looking MegaEvolution. Every time I see it, I'm immediately fooled into thinking that it's a dragon-type Pokémon.

Lucario's MegaEvolution has gotta be my least favorite. To me, it looks as if Lucario and Weavile were fused together. Haha.

Gogoat Rocks! September 5th, 2013 12:57 AM

It's a toss between Mega Lucario, Mega Absol and Mega Charizard. their Epic.
the others are awesome though.

GO MEGA POKEMON!!!!!!

CliCliW September 5th, 2013 1:39 AM

Right now, my favourite is probably Mega Blaziken because I always had a soft spot for the Torchic line.

That said, none of the designs are striking me as particularly amazing. There's too much flair being added to them. Ampharos has been turned into a laughing stock... Mawile is my favourite in terms of design though - it's got an even more badass thing to it now :)

Just in general, I thought the mega evos for Kanto were pretty lackluster and uninspired. Charizard's mega looks like the secret lovechild of Grovyle and Charizard. And def. agree: Venusaur was practically the same....

Kangaskhan's is pretty cool too, but I just don't see it being used in my game :P I don't really rock the normal types much....

Sheep September 5th, 2013 11:26 AM

Blaziken, Charizard, Mawile, Absol eeee. I am in love with these guys! Never liked Charizard before but his mega form is whoa.

XeroNos September 5th, 2013 10:39 PM

Blastoise and Ampharos are equally my most liked Mega pokes while Ampharos goes for the beauty, Blastoise looks like an Iron Man

Calamitastrophe September 5th, 2013 11:05 PM

Blastoise has my second favorite mega evolution. The first time I saw it, it reminded me of Rai's mech from Super Robot Taisen. Absol is first for me, since he's my favorite Pokemon.

I'm a little disappointed in Kangaskhan, though. It literally just took its baby out of its pouch.

Hannah September 5th, 2013 11:41 PM

My favorite would probably be Mega Absol, mainly because I've loved Absol right from the start. Mega Mawile is a close second, and imo Mega Kangaskhan would've probably been in my top three but like Calamitastrophe said:

I do like the fact that the joey can actually battle, though!

GreenGuy16 September 9th, 2013 5:52 PM

My favorite is the Mega Blastoise, but what I really want to see is a mega Tyrannitar, it could be burlier, possibly have wings, or make it's head frill a bit more regal looking. It would look awesome, and be pretty OP!

Squirrel September 9th, 2013 8:16 PM

At the moment I'm most loving mega Blastoise. It's a shame that his attacks are still fired from his mouth despite him having three huge cannons (even Hydro Cannon seemed to be in the trailer?), but his design is great enough to make up for it. I also like Absol and Kangaskhan's mega forms, but Blastoise wins.

Entermaid September 9th, 2013 8:24 PM

Top 5: Starting with most favorite
1. Venusaur, 2. Mawile, 3. Charizard, 4. Ampharos, 5. Mewtwo

Bottom 5: Starting with least favorite
1. Lucario, 2. Blastoise, 3. Kangaskan, 4. Absol, 5. Blazekin

Venusaur's evolution has a very tasteful addition of it's more intricate jungle foliage design. Mawile and Charizard, similarly, feel the same, yet enhanced. The designs seem deliberate and purposeful rather than adding a extra bells and whistles aimlessly. Ampharos, this one is controversial. However, the hair is not a random addition, rather, it distinguishes Ampharos as a bearded Dragon, also tying in the sheep wool ancestry. Lastly, 'New'Two has an interesting horned-crown design, also the elongated and tapered head-tail, suits the intelligent enigmatic personality of Mewtwo.

Generally, for the ones I am not fond of, there seems to be many unnecessary tassels, odd color palettes, over-design, or just plain-old gauche designs in relation to the Kangaskan line.

Fighting Girl September 13th, 2013 5:05 PM

Mega Blaziken. Blaziken is my favourite starter Pokemon and when I saw its mega evolution I thought awesome. My favourite starter is even cooler now

kosuke September 13th, 2013 5:31 PM

My favorite would be MegaAbsol... she's fabulous...and now comes with freakin awesome wings! Meanwile, my least favorite of them all would be MegaKangaskhan...I really think they could've done more than getting the baby out of the pouch.

PlatinumDude September 14th, 2013 9:43 AM

My favorite Mega Evolutions are Mawile, Blaziken, Blastoise, Absol, Mewtwo Y and Ampharos by design. By usefulness, I'd say Venusaur and Charizard.

Magykx September 14th, 2013 9:51 AM

Design wise, Mawile, Lucario and Charizard.

Snowdrop September 14th, 2013 9:56 AM

Mega Blastoise is great, but my favorite is the simple MegaKangaskhan. I was okay with it at first but now I'm looking at Mega-Evolutions as rather gaudy. Oh well, none of them look awful anyways.

Synerjee September 14th, 2013 10:52 AM

Honestly, I like all of them almost equally. I have to choose though, so my favorites are Charizard, Mawile and Absol while my least favourite is Kangaskhan. Charizard looks amazinggg with its dragonised makeover, Mawile just became totes badass and Absol grew wings <3 Kangaskhan on the other hand doesn't have too much to cheer for imo. Its baby just came out from its pocket and...basically, that's it.

KingRin September 14th, 2013 11:50 AM

To be honest I love all of them, except one.Mega Kangaskhan just doesn't feel mega, when you compare her to the other megas she just seems out of place.

Victreebel's Bro September 27th, 2013 11:17 AM

I'm gonna list them from favourite to least favourite
- Mawile
- Garchomp
- Lucario
- Mewtwo X
- Charizard
- Blastoise
- Blaziken
- Mewtwo Y
- Absol
- Ampharos
- Venusaur
- Kangaskhan

Quick summary on all of them:
Mawile got some major improvements (stat and design wise) and shes definately my favourite, Garchomp has freaking blades for arms, Lucario looks pretty beast, Mewtwo X is simple design wise which I prefer it to the Y version, Charizard has a more dragon like design (still fire flying °O°), Blastoise has a huge cannon and miniature cannons on his hands, Blaziken is a bit complex, but he's cool, Mewtwo Y looks strange (half Jessie half Dragonball Z hybrid?), Absol, IMO, is a bit lacking in design, Ampharos has great hair (most creative design ever), Venusaur just looks the same, Kangaskhan is just terrible.

White Raven September 27th, 2013 4:52 PM

Baby Kangaskan. *sniffle* They grow up so fast!

moon October 2nd, 2013 8:30 AM

Well, I must say. Mega Charizard X is pretty awesome. Blue fire is so cool.

Bobith October 2nd, 2013 8:51 AM

Mega Absol is the best megaevo because it's not nearly as overdesigned as the others. Mega Blaziken is cool as well.

AngelKeldeo October 27th, 2013 4:56 AM

Mega Absol, for sure. Mega Mewtwo Y is my second favourite.

Elaitenstile October 27th, 2013 5:11 AM

I guess I'll go with Mega Mewtwo Y as my favourite. I kind of like the design and things but I'm quite disappointed with its stats and all... oh well, it's no big deal. He's still pretty cool and apparently has a very simple design (unlike those megas who have the world crammed into them).

I don't have any least favourites but Mega Gengar doesn't quite hit the mark so well. His features don't make much sense and those... things that look like limbs are really creepy. I think the problem arrived when they tried to give an uplift to one of the simplest (yet one of the best) designs ever in Pokémon without ruining his general effect. I'm not complaining, though, I couldn't do much more had I given the task of creating a mega for him.

Grif of Hearts October 27th, 2013 6:05 AM

Has to be Mega Aggron. I have a long running history with Aggron and I was so glad to hear that they got some attention this Generation. Their new form looks utterly lethal and the removal of the Rock typing means his weaknesses are not nearly as dangerous. I'm still on the hunt for the Aggronite but once I do he'll become an incredibly valuable team member I'm sure.

antemortem October 27th, 2013 8:33 AM

Definitely MegaMawile. It looks amazing and its Base 259 Attack is nothing to sneeze at, considering it's past the threshold of Attack Pokemon can even have. \o/

Atomic Pirate October 27th, 2013 2:30 PM

Mega Absol. It actually seems like a natural progression of the Pokemon, whereas many of the others just take the existing Pokemon and slap more markings and bits on them. Plus, it looks like some sort of angel of death.

TouretteUnicorn October 27th, 2013 2:50 PM

My favorite mega-evolution so far is Mega Gardevior. Its simplistic, yet fitting.

I personally dislike the majority of the Mega Evolutions. Most look too out of place to me, or are too jagged.

PumpJack October 27th, 2013 2:59 PM

I'm generally not a fan of the whole idea, but MegaMawile easily takes the cake.

-Looks like a proper evolution.
-Doesn't look as over-the-top/superfluous as some other ones.
-Makes the new Fairy type less stupid-sounding, whence paired with its Steel. Immunity to both Poison and Dragon is pretty kickass.
-Having Huge Power is basically God Mode. With proper training, MegaMawile at level 100 has the strongest attack in the game.

NavyBlue October 27th, 2013 3:06 PM

Hmm, if I were to choose, although they're all awesome, it'd have to be Mega Absol. Looks awesome. Mega Gengar's pretty cool, too. Gardevoir's is fabulous as well, though. Hmm.

Ig Pokemon Lover October 27th, 2013 4:27 PM

My favorite would be Mega Lucario. Gardevoir mega form looks beautiful also.

Nakala Pri October 28th, 2013 12:53 AM

Kangaskhan, Absol and Charizard. They all look so awesome! ^^ Charizard was a huge improvement, but not the X version. :P

Batty November 4th, 2013 4:07 AM

Mega Banette is my favorite for design and Pokemon. To be more specific, Banette is my favorite Pokemon. I just wish they would have boosted it a little bit more defensively. It'll still be worthy because of it's amazing attack, but it's speed is below average and it probably won't take more than a couple hits.

Secondary favorite for me is Absol. Magic Bounce was a great ability to give it, and it's stats and design are well done. Too bad I will be using Banette.

LusoTrainer November 4th, 2013 1:52 PM

I honestly hate the whole concept.

M3tamanaic November 4th, 2013 1:54 PM

Mega Scizor is my favorite so far

Dumerili November 4th, 2013 2:09 PM

Mega Ampharos, I mean come on you have to admit it's hair is fabulous.

I only really use Mega Blaziken and Mega Charizard though. I love Charizard's design and I find Blaziken to be really useful in battle especially when it's Mega evolved.

ChaosCrystal November 4th, 2013 7:00 PM

Mega Ampharos, Mega Mewtwo Y and Mega Charizard both X and Y are my personal favs.

As for the ones i like the least Mega Venusaur and Mega Kangaskan get the least fav award for me

Hooh November 4th, 2013 7:25 PM

Mega Manectric. What a hot rhombus.
