With all the talk about mega pokemon it has quickly made me realize that I'm a little over the initial excitement. While I do like the over all designs I don't think there's one in particular that I want to use outside of Mega Swampert and Sceptile.

Gardevoir had a Megavolution while Gallade didn't. So I'm not going to get my hopes up.
...actually, I'm hoping for Slowking to NOT get a Megavolution, so I guess I should get my hopes up for that. :P

6 Hoenn megas to 4 non Hoenn megas (each a different region) says otherwise. The comparison is more like 6-1-1-1-1. Overall it's pretty close but Hoenn clearly does have an emphasis over any other particular region.

Plus there's the fairly likely Mega Sharpedo and Mega Camerupt to consider. Also if we get another 28-30 megas that's still another 18-20 left to see and a good number of them will probably be Hoenn pokemon.

Pepperton August 13th, 2014 6:10 AM

6 Hoenn/4 Non-Hoenn is almost equal in distribution, but yes Hoenn still does have majority. I was almost certain Sharpedo & Camerupt would receive Megas, but now I'm not so certain. d:

If sharpedo and camerupt didn't get megas, which pokemon will Maxie/Archie mega evolve?

Why are you not so sure? Because they haven't been revealed? iirc neither were MegaGyarados and Mega Gardivior either

I'm pretty sure there is going to be a few Megas that won't be revealed....

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 13th, 2014 7:32 AM

Hopefully. I would like some surprise Megas to discover on my own.

MarinoKadame August 13th, 2014 8:44 AM

Then we play the game and surprise Mega Stunfish.

CanadianBrick August 13th, 2014 10:00 AM

Mega Dunsparce pls!!!

Sablrainy August 13th, 2014 10:11 AM

Woah, Mega Slowbro looks weird... I think it's the first Mega I actually don't like...
And Mega Audino looks nice, but Audino's just meh to me. Besides, the ability is only suited for Doubles. Sorry you two, but you aren't for me. And also, I've seen a lot of people react negatively to Mega Slowbro. GameFreak really screwed up with him.

Maybe it'll finally go ahead and become a three dimensional creature xD. I do wonder how a non-flat stunfisk Mega would look.

Altairis August 13th, 2014 10:55 AM

Yeah, I guess now literally any Pokemon could get a Mega, even something like Kirlia who has two evolutions that split off like Slowpoke. I guess Gamefreak's goal was to surprise us and they've definitely done that now.

Altairis August 13th, 2014 10:56 AM

I hope we can get them all before the storyline ends. If we can only use one at a time, what's the harm? Plus there was such a focus on Mega Evolutions in the storyline of XY that it was really quite a shame we couldn't use them all. Since Steven is likely going to be preaching about Mega Evolution throughout the game I hope to be given access to a lot more Megas this time around.

Are you saying middle evolutions could now get Megas?

Even if Slowbro didn't look the way it did it would still be surprise. Diancie, Lopunny, Slowbro, and Audino are the most unexpected Megas. For one they aren't even in the dex (well the Hoenn dex, though all of them minus Slowbro were created post Gen III so that doesn't really count much). I hope that the next Mega will be something in the original Hoenn dex. Like Mega Raichu, Mega Golem, Mega Machamp, or Mega Kingdra.

Whilst I do think Mega Camerupt and Sharpedo are a given, they could still go a different direction with Maxie and Archie's teams and give them Houndoom and Gyarados to use as their megas. Lysandre's main Pokemon was Pyroar and he still used mega Gyarados.

Some people seem to think Mega Slaking is gonna happen because in the screenshots on the Korean website all of those Pokemon featured (Sceptile, Blaziken, Slowbro, Audino, Salamence) could mega evolve. Personally I think it's just a coincidence but you ever know.

And since it's obvious Rayquaza is gonna get something; either a mega or a PR, Flygon is gonna be the only Dragon type introduced in Gen III not to get a mega ):

That's right...it will be the only one. Interestingly Gf has yet to give the only Gen I Dragon a Mega, or the only Gen II Dragon (Kingdra). So at least Flygon will have company with those two if it doesn't get a Mega :(

Earlier I someone complained about the Fairy type being slapped on to several Megas. Yet only Altaria and Audino's megas have the Fairy type replace another or added. Dragon actually is winning with Mega Charizard X, Ampharos, and Sceptile as the most slapped on type. Tied with Fairy is the fighting type with the two being Mega Mewtwo X and Lopunny.

swiswi18 August 13th, 2014 2:27 PM

Words cannot even express how disappointed and how much I hate Slowbros Mega Evolution. Game freak ruined it for me!;-; My favorite pokemon gets an evolution and it evolves into... I dont even know what to call it >:( i wish i go slap some sense into the person who designed it! I hate it!! Ugh! I feel like boycotting pokemon just for this! (I wont)>:( >:(

Anw, hoping for flygon to atleast get a decent Mega. I mean, whatever they do it cant end up worse the slowbros mega.

MarinoKadame August 13th, 2014 2:43 PM

I wonder how Mega Audino will look in Mega since she changed from her Pink color to something white. Her shiny turned into purple before.

bewbs August 13th, 2014 2:49 PM

Mega-audino looks so beautiful and angelic. I prefer the original Slowbro, but curious to how Mega-slowbro will be like in battle.

Maybe Shiny Mega Audino will be pale purple as it's Mega is pale pink.

I agree. Slowbro has managed to get onto quite a few of my in-game teams. It'll be nice to see if we can manage to achieve mega-slowbro during gameplay in ORAS.

What do you mean by achive during gameplay? As in prior to our battle with Steven?

I hope they reduce it's speed and boost it's special defense in addition to the already confirmed boost to defense and special attack. With reduced speed mixed with Trick room it'll be able to go first most of the time. It can then use one calm mind or two to boost it's special defense and what seems like it'll be, already high special attack. It can then sweep for the next three or so turns.

Here's an unexpected pokemon that could get a Mega, Shuckle.

Right. Am I correct in assuming all the megas weren't available prior to the E4 in X/Y? They might continue that trend.

Mega Audino is Normal/Fairy-type and the ability Healer. Mega Slowbro has the ability Shell Armor

From Serebii

Mega Slowbro has to be a joke (design wise).

Team Flare is a very interesting villainous group. Their group isn't exactly about "flare", but "flair". It's a very terrible mistake in localization. I realize most Team Flare members use poison or dark types rather than fire types. An exception is Malva, but she isn't that involved in the main storyline anyway.

What stunned many people was that Mega Gyarados lost its flying type for dark. I was skeptic at first, but a super effective close combat proved that it was true.

As for Mega Flygon, I'm not going to assure myself that it's happening. However, it is rather fishy. It is confirmed that Aarune will battle you in some part of the storyline and flygon will be his ace (if beta is accurate then it'll be his sole pokemon too). Vibrava evolves at Lv45, that means the battle will probably happen between the 6th-8th gym badge. It just seems so fishy with one flygon.

He doesn't have any visible keystone, but he could be the one giving the flygonite (if there's one) to you after defeating him. A possible guess.
