Many Pokemon need Megas like the god awful Johto and Unova starters (I mean stat and usability wise, not design wise), and no Kalos and only one Unova Pokemon got Megas, just why? There's so much potential, so why waste it? We need more Megas that revive weak and useless Pokemon, like Mega Beedrill and Mega Pinsir.

You're very wise. More pokemon deserve ME and It totally revives them in a way. That's why I prefer it other Alola forms

Since Alola forms are now a thing, I wouldnt be surprised if those are considered the mega evolutions of this generation. Obviously megas still exist, but Alola forms will probably be the reason behind no new mega forms. Kinda like one or the other.

Its kinda strange that the Mega Pokemon idea won't be carried forward. I can name lots of weak/under-used Pokemon here that could really do with a Mega boost.

Pika Pika :chu:

i agree with the whole needing more megas for weaker mons, but at the same time theres still some alternate forms i'd like to see become Alola forms:

I dunno, but it better be like Guile Hideout's sword (read the Pokemon Adventures manga to get the hint)

Kalos Megas?
 
So now we know Mega Evolutions are coming back. Kalos is no longer the current generation, so do you think there will be any new Megas? What Kalos Megas would you like to see?

Nah October 15th, 2016 1:37 PM

It seems that while Megas are returning (which was almost practically guaranteed), it seems very unlikely that we'll be getting any new Megas at all, let alone Gen 6 'mon specific ones.

TheKojo October 15th, 2016 1:48 PM

I doubt it. Banning them from VGC wouldn't make much sense if they were introducing new ones.

By then, they won't be giving Dialga and Palkia Megas/Primals but whatever new forme gimmick Gen VIII introduces.

Well shoot. Not giving Dialga a primal form even though it existed in a spinoff game didn't help at all.

Like Kojo and Nah said, we're probably not getting any new Mega Evolutions. The announcement of the 2017 VGC banning them as well is likely evidence behind this, since they're likely focusing on Z-Moves and the Alola Dex Pokemon.

MarinoKadame October 15th, 2016 7:44 PM

Banning the Mega Evolutions is mostly to have a way to try out the new Pokemon, because if Megas were to be in well you will obviously get the same old teams that were used for the most part.

feniter91 October 16th, 2016 2:42 AM

I would like a Mega evolved Alolan form! :P

Mega trevenent,tflame,dragalge,tyrantrum,meowstic,avallugg,
Aegislash and noivern.

While it would be cool, it wouldn't make sense because that would mean redesigning the Mega as well. All the Alola Forms so far don't have a Mega in their evolution line, which I believe is part of the criteria - a Pokemon with a Mega can't have an Alola Form and vice-versa, alongside the 1st Gen requirement as far as what Pokemon can get the Alola Form.

Good lord, anyone see the demo Datamine recently?

Yes, and it does confirm the one thing I suspected - no new Mega Evolutions.

Iceshadow3317 October 18th, 2016 8:08 PM

Aye. I do not think we will get Megas in this game. It was said that there main focus was on Z-Moves and Alolans.

I still think we may get some new Megas in next 7th Gen Game, whatever that may be. If it is Sinnoh Remakes, which I think we may get in this Gen, we will probably see that starters get Megas.

Yeah I know. However, when I said do not think we will get Megas, I meant no new ones. That was bad wording on my part.

And yeah I know. Some people act as if the whole game was leaked, but wasn't. National Dex wasn't even leaked, so there may be a good amount of old pokemon we can catch after the game.


HOWEVER, it has been confirmed that we will not get Megas until post game. And before people say they just added them in because people complained, if that was the truth, they would have removed or added a lot of things to appeal to complainers. I think it was always their intention to bring back Megas, but I think they didn't want to base the whole story around them like in the 6th Gen Games.

MegaKuriboh October 19th, 2016 1:47 PM

It's pretty sad that we won't be getting new megas, as so many Pokemon could use them, but I hope future games give them to us, more diversity and options is always a good thing!

Pinkie-Dawn October 19th, 2016 3:09 PM

As I expected, Mega Evolutions will be a postgame thing.
