Version Exclusive Mega Stones?
 
Does anyone know if the different versions will have exclusive mega stones? I would like to have a Mega Sharpedo so Im just curious.

Hikamaru October 29th, 2014 7:17 PM

I think the only version exclusive Megas I'm seeing at this stage are Sableye/Mawile, Latias/Latios and Kyogre/Groudon (Primals aren't really Megas but close enough). Camerupt and Sharpedo are the respective aces of Maxie and Archie (Maxie is battled in OR, Archie in AS) but I'm likely not seeing them in general as version exclusive because if I remember, the Numel and Carvanha lines weren't version exclusives in the original games.

Most exclusives tend to be found in the same area as each other and those two certainly aren't.

Cerberus87 October 29th, 2014 7:22 PM

Cameruptite in Alpha Sapphire and Sharpedite in Omega Ruby.

You heard it here first. ^^

Any links you have that mention this? It doesn't say it on Serebii which is usually one of the most trusted Pokemon news sources.

oshimas October 29th, 2014 8:07 PM

i really hope that the one for altaria ain't version exclusive. that was going into my party no matter what.

I think they were just speculating lol, hence the "you heard it here first"

Anyway, I don't think the whole "numel/carvanah weren't version exclusives in R/S so they wont be exclusive in the remakes" means anything about version exclusive megas. They can still have the Pokemon available in both games, but the mega stone available in one.

Anyway, on topic: the only "exclusives" revealed so far are Groudon/Kyogre. I can see [email protected] and Maw/Sab happening too - but seems pointless since Maw's mega stone is available in both X&Y. So if you get AS (assuming AS is mega Sab exclusive, and OR is mega Maw exclusive), you can just trade Maw's mega stone over from X&Y and have both megas in AS, but if you get OR, then there's no way you can get Sab's mega stone without trading with someone with AS. Seems really stupid to me anyway.

As for other ones (just me speccing here), I can only really see Lop/Aud being exclusives.

Interesting point, but I think Mawile and Sableye will definitely be exclusives in this instance. Kyogre/Groudon and also the Latis may be the only confirmed ones at this stage but there could be a chance we may not know them all until after the games are released.

Abby October 30th, 2014 4:38 AM

As ling as they don't do what they did with the heracrossite and pinsirite.

skyburial October 30th, 2014 6:27 AM

Hasn't Game Freak said that trading mega stones from X/Y to ORAS will be unavailable?

The Heracronite/Pinsirite were available in the same version as its respective Pokemon. You were probably thinking of the Tyranitarite/Aggronite and Houndoomite/Manectite where the Mega Stone was obtained in the opposite version its respective Pokemon was, forcing people to trade.

You can't trade any Mega Stones introduced in OR/AS to X/Y since the latter doesn't have the coding. The Mega Stones found in X/Y can still be traded over to OR/AS I think, just not the other way around. But yes, I really don't want to see Mega Stones found in the opposite version to its respective Pokemon again as I can't trade in 6th Gen at this moment, so Game Freak please don't force people into trading just to get a Mega Stone.

SnowpointQuincy October 30th, 2014 12:29 PM

At least Casinos aren't a thing anymore. Otherwise, Charizardite-X would be at the Game Corner for 9,999 coins.

I'm buying Sapphire mostly because Team Magma's costume looks silly. But it would be nice to know the exclusives before buying.

James169 October 30th, 2014 2:27 PM

Potential possibility of mega seviper and mega zangoose?

ShadowEdge October 30th, 2014 2:37 PM

So what if there exclusives it's not hard to go to a place that has wifi and trade there.

Then I am sorry I thought all McDonald's and Starbucks have Wifi. Surely they have friends that have wifi that they can use?

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 1st, 2014 1:13 PM

I wonder if any of the XY stones besides possibly Mawile's will be in the games to begin with. Especially stones like the Kanto starters and Mewtwo's.

I think they'll likely be, or at least most of them, because Mawilite and Sablite will probably be version-exclusive. As for the Mega Stones of non-Hoenn Dex Pokemon, I could likely see them being bought at a store or given by some NPCs in the post-game.

For those wondering, these are the Megas/Primals in the Hoenn Dex:
Spoiler:
Mawile, Sableye, Gardevoir, Gallade, Alakazam, Gyarados, Pinsir, Heracross, Medicham, Aggron, Banette, Manectric, Absol, Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, Altaria, Salamence, Metagross, Sharpedo, Camerupt, Glalie, Latias, Latios, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza.


That leaves most of the X/Y Megas as well as Audino, Slowbro, Lopunny, Steelix, Pidgeot, Beedrill and Diancie. Diancie's Mega Stone gets obtained when the event Diancie (currently ongoing in the US) gets transferred over from X/Y to OR/AS, but the rest of the Megas should probably have their Mega Stone obtainable in the post-game.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 1st, 2014 1:55 PM

Í wonder how they'll change up the ones that were exclusives in XY such as Aggronite versus Tyranitarite seeing how Aggron (and Manectric) is a Hoenn regional dex mon will Tyranitar isn't. Perhaps Tyranitar and Houndoom will be treated as counterpart exclusives, and so could
Aggron and Manectric itself. Perhaps OmegaRuby will have Mega Tyranitar and Mega Manectric's stones while AlphaSapphire will have the other two's. Or perhaps the other way around version wise.

Or they may not treat them as exclusives this time around due to the regional Dex...

MarinoKadame November 1st, 2014 3:11 PM

I hope my japanese movie Diancie will work for the mega stone. I can't get an US Diancie since the store is pretty far from where I live.

Yeah we do but hardly anyone (like I've seen 0 people) play their DS in McDonalds haha. Starbucks, similar story. XD

Hermione Granger November 1st, 2014 4:28 PM

You really can't access McDonalds wifi with the hand held systems. I've already tried before, but as for the subject for this topic goes I'm guessing that their might be exclusive megas and only can access the others by trade.

ShadowEdge November 1st, 2014 8:52 PM

McDonald's is crap it signs me out every 10 mins. I don't know about Starbucks but from what I hear it's slow.

Hikamaru November 1st, 2014 9:24 PM

Back on the main topic, what I don't want to see is Game Freak making exclusive Mega Stones only found in the opposite version of its corresponding Pokemon, like what happened with Manectric/Houndoom and Aggron/Tyranitar in X & Y.

I don't like being forced to trade just to get a Mega Stone, it was just terrible to force players into trading for the stone that wasn't in their version. I really hope they learned their lesson here and made the stone actually obtainable in the same game as the Pokemon that uses it.

Houndour wasn't in the original RS so, unless he is in the postgame, he'll be exclusive to X version.

Ultan November 2nd, 2014 7:43 AM

Primal Groudon/Kyogre and Mega Camerupt/Sharpedo are the only ones I can see being exclusive to versions, but there isn't really anything stopping them from making Beedrill/Pidgeot version exclusives (for an example)

It was available in Emerald post game though so chances are it may make a return, seeing how the post game of the Johto remakes had elements of Crystal, the remakes of Hoenn may have elements of Emerald post game such as the expanded safari and the Battle Frontier alongside new things. If the expanded Safari returns then Ampharite, and Houndoomite will likely be in these games as Ampharos and Houndoom were part of that expanded Safari. I think those two are about it though for that area...

realdonnyv November 14th, 2014 8:08 PM

Well, Sharpedo wasn't exclusive to a specific game in the original versions as far as I'm concerned, and they'll likely keep the same exclusivity from the original games so I have a safe assumption Sharpedo will be in both games.

The Mega Stone may not be though. It could be treating similar to the dual Mega stones of Charizard and Mewtwo, except in this case between two Pokémon instead of giving one Pokémon two Megas. That'll mean Cameruptite being in OmegaRuby and Sharpedite being in AquaSapphire, maybe. It's also possible that the non-antagonistic team leader is the one who gives us the stone, if so that'll mean Sharpedite in Omega Ruby.

Going by what R/S had, where you battled against the team that matched up with your version's color while the other team acted more like friends is something I think could get carried over, and that could lead to your theory of how the Cameruptite/Sharpedite may be obtained.

Or I could see both stones being obtained in one version, where the non-villainous team would give you their leader's Pokemon's respective Mega Stone while you obtain the other in a different area.

Maybe the evil leader will give it to us after taking the opposite orb back to Mt. Pyre (btw I hope we can get that opposite orb somehow to get the opposite Primal), saying how they don't need it any longer. Or at least as a thanks for stopping their error from destroying the world.

Thursday November 15th, 2014 5:44 AM

Going with what Hikamaru said, I could see you either gaining the mega stones from defeating the opposite team (team magma in ruby, team aqua in sapphire) although I think we will probably get the item that allows for primal reversion from them. I could also see the supporting team handing you the mega stone for their team (sharpedo's from aqua, camerupt's from magma) as a way to help you defeat the opposing team.

As for version exclusives, I could see:

Slowbro/ Pidgeot/ Beedrill since they're all gen I Pokemon
Salamance/ Altaria since they're both dragon Pokemon
Sharpedo/ Camerupt for obvious reasons
Lopunny/ Gallade since they're both from the same Gen and both fighting (or become fighting, in Lopunny's case)

Interesting theory on the exclusives, but you have to remember the fact the Bagon, Swablu and Ralts lines were not exclusive in the originals, plus the main story will only allow Hoenn Dex Pokemon so the Gallade/Lopunny point is out of the question.

The Numel and Carvanha lines also weren't exclusive, and despite one being associated with Team Magma (Ruby exclusive) and Team Aqua (Sapphire exclusive) they were still able to be caught in both versions easily. The exclusivity among the Hoenn Dex is likely going to be carried over from the original versions.

They might only have version exclusive mega stones this time around. As for Gallade/Lopunny, post-game is where you get mega stones in X/Y so I doubt they would allow you to start collecting them before then in ORAS.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 15th, 2014 11:55 AM

I doubt Gallade will be an exclusive. Chances are Wally will give us a Ralts through trade similar to Shana with her starter's kid, and Diantha with her Gardevoir's kid (I speculate they breed their aces hence why I mention kid). Or he may just give it to us.

Not any as far as I know. We'll probably only find out after the games are released.

There have been two Mega Stone locations revealed by the Twitter leaker (Kristhofer) but they're just returning X/Y Mega Stones and not new ones. Besides, it was already revealed by a Tumblr user that there will be no more new Megas.

realdonnyv November 19th, 2014 6:35 AM

Thanks.... hopefully we'll find out soon.

realdonnyv November 20th, 2014 4:13 PM

Charizard X in AS/ Charizard Y in OR

Volga November 20th, 2014 7:37 PM

It's been confirmed by Serebii that none are exclusive, all mega stone will be found in each version.

It's just right there on the front page. http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml (It's in the spoiler tag, so don't click if you don't want spoilers)

MarinoKadame November 21st, 2014 12:20 AM

I'm only missing X mega stones.

PokeXavier November 21st, 2014 5:01 AM

I think there is

blue November 21st, 2014 7:00 AM

I could imagine that some of the new (and exsisting) Hoenn Mega Stones will be version exclusives as they were in X&Y. For the rest of them I'd expect them to be in both games.

Like I said a few posts above this, Serebii said all Mega Stones are in both games, so no exclusives. BUT I cannot confirm this myself since I'm not very far in OR. lol

But I do know that you don't need to wait post game for mega stones (at least some of them). Unlike XY, where you need the upgrade, in ORAS, they just sparkle on the ground.
In this spoiler is a pic I took that I found Alakazite, and I only have two badges. I put it in spoilers for obvious reasons.

It's interesting that you can find the Mega Stones so early on in-game. I saw a picture similar to this before the games were released and I just assumed they cropped up after defeating the Elite Four or something.
