Mega Evolution confirmed for Let's Go - what are your thoughts on this?
So according to the recent leaks, Mega Evolution has been confirmed for Let's Go, and Lt. Surge has been confirmed to once again be maining Vermilion Gym. However, nothing really has been said about whether there will be more megas, whether they'll just recycle the current ones, or if they might just sideline it for Z-Moves, like in SM and USUM.
What are your thoughts? |
Not too surprised, given it's still using the gen 7 engine fair sure, just... on the Switch.
Z-Moves is another matter; wouldn't be surprised if that is kept out of this title. |
What mostly grabs my attention me here is the fact that Jessie and James are making their return to the games. Though I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, it's kind of a Yellow remake in some ways after all.

This will definitely shake things up, especially if we get new Mega Pokemon. This would be the perfect time to add more Megas. Especially with character's like Lance's go to pokemon has got retrade marked.

Cool. Let me guess, they hand us a freebie mega as well? And we can't progress without it? Like in XY
|
Just as long as I can keep normal Charizard it's fine. I don't like either Mega Charizard.
|
I kinda expected to have Megas in the game, given that in Pokémon Origins (SPOILERS AHEAD), Red gets Charizardite X from Mr. Fuji after rescuing him from Team Rocket. I guess Mr. Fuji could give players Mega Stone for their starters in these games.
But this also brings out the question if some Mega Stones will be version exclusives like in previous games. And I hope they won't be giving out free Pokémon with Mega Stone as part of the story as in XY too or lock most of the stones to the post game. |

If there are new megas in the game and say for example the elite four all have a mega of their own. What do you guys think of the idea of Lorelei having a different mega based on the version you're playing. In Pokémon Yellow she had two lvl 56 pokemon (jynx and lapras). So what if in Let's Go Pikachu, she had a mega jynx and in Let's Go Eevee, she had a mega lapras. That way you wouldn't technically have the type advantage over her if you started out with a Pikachu. Thoughts?

As these are on the Gen 7 engine I think it would work if Alolan Forms were in the games even if it is just for Gym Leaders/Elite 4. Lorelei having an Alolan Ninetales as her main Pokemon makes a lot of sense for example.
Version differences could affect affect Gym Leader teams. Erika could have Tangela, Weepinbell, Vileplume in Let's Go Pikachu and Tangela, Gloom, Victreebell in Let's Go Eevee. Megas in the game is good. Hopefully it is not restricted to Kanto Pokemon. |

Personal don't care for mega , legit haven't played any Pokemon game since pokemon heartgold and soulsilver , so most likely won't new playing this
|
I actually wasn't expecting the return of megas. I probably won't use mega evolution when/if I get these games...
I can see, hopefully at least one or two new Kanto megas, but not many, (and probably none of ones that got Alola forms, but that's a given.) Z moves being sidelined is fine. They felt very Alolan to begin with--don't really expect Kanto to have them. |
If new Mega's are added, who would get them?
For me, here's who I'd be looking at for Mega's 1) Dragonite <- Lance's signature Pokemon and frankly its about time. Other Dragon types have gotten Mega's so why not this one? 2) Butterfree <- Beedrill has had one so why not the other worm Pokemon we can catch in Viridian Forest? 3) Alolan Sandslash/Ninetales <- being that they're version exclusives possibly points to them having a Mega as well. Whether it will also apply to their Kanto counterparts, I doubt it 4) Arcanine <- popular Fire Type and Blaine's Ace 5) Persian <- Seems weird that this Cat Pokemon can't Mega Evolve when its the signature Pokemon of Giovanni and Team Rocket. |
Absolutely love this news, and really hoping they add new Megas but I won't hold my breath. Gen VII left me really disappointed, and USUM just worsened it. I'm not expecting much since I feel if they had more to announce, they would have done so by now - especially since the games are releasing in 3 months - but if they did add new Megas I'd love these games a hell of a lot more.

Why would they make new megas for a spin off though?
|
I heard a rumor recently for the possibility of new Mega Evolutions of Pokemon.
I believe they were: Dragonite, Golem, Persian, Machamp, Raichu, Jynx, Arbok, Weezing, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, and Starmie. Apparantly these were trademarked and the rumor is the reason is the possibility of that will receive Mega evolutions in Lets Go. Though there has been no confirmation so far from Gamefreak or Nintendo. I'd love a Mega Arbok and Mega Weezing though lol :) |

Still confident that spin off games will not introduce new mega evolutions. But hey GF did strange things before like making Ash-Greninja canon. |

If they gave a Mega to Hitmontop, then that would mean that Hitmontop(a Generation 2 Pokemon!!) is in Let's GO. Meaning Pokemon such as Slowking, Scizor, Steelix and all the Johto Evolutions of Kanto Pokemon may be included in the game. Hence speculating that Let's GO may have the rematch function that Generation 1 and FireRed/LeafGreen never had and giving Brock, Misty, Lt.Surge, Erika(if she has Venusaur), and all the Kanto Gym Leaders a Mega Evolution based on the rumored additions. That includes the Elite Four and hopefully the "friendly rival" Champion.
Also means Team Rocket is sure to have it with Arbok, Weezing and Persian possibly getting them. What I don't get is why they'd add a Mega to Eevolutions o.O |

It is just a rumor that may or may not have some credibility to it. I just wanted to share and see what everyone though about it. |
