Mega Evolutions in Alola
So, we haven't had a single one revealed yet. It might be considered to be too early, but really. New Pokemon formes before Megas? Do you think Mega Evolutions are going to be less frequent this generation? If they are included, what are some Pokemon you want to see have Megas? Or would you rather Pokemon to have Alola forms that are permanent rather than temporary Megas?
MEGA LAPRAS PLEASE! And Milotic would be so cool. Classic, I know, but I love them. EDIT: Some people might be misunderstanding what I mean. Of course Game Freak isn't going to REMOVE Mega Evolutions. I'm asking if they will introduce MORE Mega Evolutions or not--putting them in the back in favor of Alola forms. Of course Megas are still going to BE there, but are they going to be a focus or just a thing of the past? |
Yeah, I highly doubt after all the emphasis they put on Megas that they'd just stop making new ones. As most others have guessed, I think they'll just make less, around 10-15.

I feel like Mega Evolution might be a late game thing.
|
I am really unsure about this, like everyone else. New stones, new way to have more powerful attacks. However, in past trailers, most of the Pokemons that were shown as an opponent had mega evolutions, and Flygon was part of the opponent Pokemons. I am not sure if Flygon is about to get a mega evolution or some sort of a form.

Although there's been no update on the whole Mega Evolution concept, I do think it will be returning for S/M. It doesn't have to be the main focus of the storyline and it can easily be inserted at a later stage or even into the post game storyline. I don't think we'll receive anywhere near as many new megas as we did in Gen VI but I think we'll get a few!

Mega Evolution has proven to be too popular to be scrapped, so if it stays on in Sun & Moon I could likely see it taking a backseat focus-wise and be a postgame thing.

I feel like the Z-moves are a replacement for mega evolution in that they give any Pokemon a chance to be super powerful for a short time. If I understand how they work, there a specific hold items like mega stones but not specific to any particular Pokemon and can be used as long as the Pokemon has a move of the same type. That's sort of like giving them new types temporarily, at least in an offensive capacity.
Honestly, I think mega evolutions were fun, but I wouldn't be sad to see them go. Regional forms interest me a lot more. |

I know people might be upset, but I either wish for:
A. Mega Evolutions only in the Post-Game or B. No Megas at all this game. The reason for point A is because I feel Megas are what ruined part of X and Y for me. You couldn't get them until post-game and when you do use them, they aren't that fun because you just steamroll through everything. It just gets boring after a while. It'd be better if the AI wasn't a 12/255 ( I went to look it up, yes some programmers hacked into the game to find this) but I digress. I would complain about Mega's being in the post-game for SUMO but with all the new features including Z-moves, they would be so cheap in battle. I want gamefreak to work on other things than making already OP mons even MORE OP. Plus, I'd like it if they'd limit it to either one or the other. You could either have a Z-crystal or and Mega. Not Both. The reason for my point B. is because I want Alola to not have to piggyback off the success of previous gens to work. We got Black and White, a game that was completely stand-alone and it worked great. Why can't Alola keep to itself? If they do add Megas for the purpose of money I won't mind, I just hope they are somewhat balanced. I'd hate to get a Mega Ring and a Z-crystal all at the same time. |

I feel like Megas haven't reached their full potential yet. We have so many Pokemon but not that many. I realize that they will probably have to make a decision between new Pokemon, new Megas, or new Alola formes, and they will probably pick the latter two, so if we get any at all, it might be just a few. I can see it not being a focused thing, but I would really not like the games to just skip over it like "Well, we covered this all in XY. Done, moving on."
|
Eh. The less said of it, the better. I was never really a fan of mega evolution, and I'd take these new forms over it any day of the week.
|
I still want Mega Evolutions but for only one reason. We still don't have all of the major Pokegods of yore.
We have representations for Sapusaur, Rainer, Charcolt, Spooky, Beepin, and Dimonix. If they make a Mega for Butterfree (Locustod), Raticate (Raticlaw), Nidoking (Nidogod), and Nidoqueen (Nidogoddess) then I'll be completely content with no more Megas. |
If we don't see any hint, or mention of them by September then I will end up thinking that there's not going to be any new ones. This month is the best one for showing off Megas.
|
I doubt they would drop them, battle mechanics rarely get dropped.
We had megas in ORAS, and I think if they were gonna drop it, they would have done it then. |
I think Mega-evolution will be making a return, otherwise it'll be a shame if they don't :(
But mega-evolutions completely being removed seems highly unlikely from the amount of hype it was given from the Pokémon Company and it was a whole new aspect to battling, it was a whole new feature. + if GF did want to remove mega-evolutions completely, why did they continue to add Megas in ORAS? And just a friendly reminder, Alola forms aren't Megas of previous Pokémon, they have the same stat total (I think so), they'd adjusted the stats very slightly. |
I definitely think there will be Mega-evolutions in the new game.
I think they are using the hype that Pokemon Go created with the original Kanto pokemon. Everyone is freaking out over them now, so the company is taking advantage of it and showing those forms first. As time goes on, I am sure they will reveal some new Megas. I hope there is a Mega Raichu, though :3 |
I'd be very surprised if Game Freak removed the feature entirely so I guess we'll get some more megas. I'm gonna go with the idea that they'll be a post-game think, with Alolan forms taking center stage during the main story.
|
I've never been the biggest fan of Mega Evolution, but I'd be a tad pissed if GF suddenly dropped the feature after spending so much time promoting and hyping it up. Gen 6 already feels enough like a pointless filler gen. :(
That being said, if Sun/Moon did drop Mega Evolution, I wonder what that would mean for Gen 7's placement in the timeline? Remember that the timeline of XY and ORAS is based around AZ's war happening and Mega Evolution existing, so Sun/Moon lacking Megas would put Gen 7 in either of the older timelines (RBY/GSC or RSE/FRLG/DPP/HGSS/BW/B2W2) or an entirely new one. |
I'm skeptical about there being no new Megas in SM. Why make such a revolutionary new gameplay mechanic if they don't plan on making any more post the introductory gen? That's almost like saying "Hey, I know we made Fairy-Types last gen, buuuuuuut how about we make no new Fairy-Types this gen?"
And people are super excited for this "regional form" thing, but if, say, they don't make new Megas past this point, what's to stop Alola forms as being, well, Alola-exclusive? Will these "regional differences" be so appealing in the long run if they only apply in Alola, and not, say, other new (or remake) regions? If you love the idea of Alola forms, wouldn't you find "Sinnoh forms" and "Super Cool New Region forms" just as exciting? Well, if Megas can so easily be tossed aside in the very next generation, I would say the same could very well apply for "regional differences." So I'd say, for everyone's benefit, there should be some new Megas, even if it's a low number and mostly/completely delegated to the post-game. (And, as an aside, if it turns out there are some connections to Kalos in SM, it would actually be very appropriate for Megas to be a more post-game focused feature.) |
