Thanks for sharing the fanart... I'm absolutely amazed (and absolutely happy) that Gamefreak wasn't afraid to be inspired by fan works due to "copyright reasons."

Could you guys link me to a source, maybe a dA upload, that confirms this fanwork was made before the scan leaks?

Though I do not like Dedenne very much since it looks like a baby raichu, I have to say I am loving the Elec/Fairy. Maybe this will keep Pikachu and its line form becomeing fairies.

Horubii I really like, it is probably the closest rabbit that actually looks like a real rabbit. Though this might be considered the roddent of the generation, I hope his evo becomes a normal/ground or something. Though I wouldn't find very much.

Meekuru, I am neutral on. I like it, but I like Gogoat better.


I really love how normal Mawile is a Steel/Fairy now.

I think it may have been Xander to find it, but don't take my word on that. I'll see if I can find it myself. I know the person who did post it though said it took them a while to find it. So i don't know 100% if it was before. i would be surprised if someone could draw that well that fast honestly, but hey there are some amazing artists out there.

My initial reaction to the "Mega Evolutions" left me stunned and confused, but throughout the day I've quickly grew onto the idea. It's cool that GameFreak is making these sudden changes to their mechanics, and shows they aren't afraid to add drastic changes into their system.

To sum up my other posts from the two threads regarding this, I like the new Pokemon, baby Gogoat was highly expected, the Mega forms will really spice things up in the competitive department, since now they will have to give up a hold item in order to transform temporarily.

Also, to add excitement, next month (according to serebii) will "feature new Pokémon, new Mega Evolutions and type chart featuring the Fairy-type"

Okay... if these formes are only temporary in battle they're complicating things too much... like... I'm done thinking about them until more clear information is released... and until MegaRoserade is confirmed.

Like, as of now, does Ampharos learn any Dragon-Typed moves? What happens to those possible moves once the Mega turns are over?

The image came out like 2 or 3 hours after I read the Mega Pokemon news. I had been searching for it.

Now that it's been confirmed that they will be called Mega....
I think that's really stupid.
And that it's been stated that not all pokemon will have mega evolutions....
So normal evolutionary stones, will they have a factor in it?

That Ampharos Warp digivolution picture has me thinking
What if pokemon also changes the Evolution animations?
And what will the Megaevolution animation be like?

Ok now that the three threads have been merged, I will give my thoughts on these Mega Forms.

I'm not sure what to say here. It's being said that these Mega Evolution might only happen during battle and will be temporary. If that's for sure true, then I have no problem them cause then I can change them back whenever or choose not to change them at all.. It's an interesting concept I guess. I'm just not certain about some of their designs. Mega Blaziken and MegaLucario in particular. I like the designs of the other three though, especially MegaMawile. Plus I like that Mawile is now Steel/Fairy cause it's been expected to be retyped even before the Fairy type was introduced. MegaAmpharos being Electric/Dragon's not bad. If they're permanent evolutions then I'm not too sure. I'm gonna wit for more info before judging fully.

Side note: I Like the new Gym leader who specializes in Mega Pokemon or whatever. Cute design.

Localized versions still haven't been updated. Its still Mega Forms just for Japan right now.

@ Xander. I think our rock gym leader will be the rock clumber due to his hair style and hobby. While our new gym leader is linked to Megastones she may not be a rock gym leader but Steel like Steven stone. Or maybe Fairy. I think that purple crystal in the map will be either her gym or the tower linked to Mega evolutions.

I hope we get some Mega Unova mons as we didn't get any this time...we did get 3 (of my favorite) Hoenn Pokémon with them though so I'm happy.

Oh ho ho wow! Well, I don't really like the mega forms much, but I do like the concept. Mid-battle "evolution" into a super charged version sounds great for me. I'm glad it's not a permanent evolution tho! D:

And about the new Pokémon, I absolutely LOVE the pika-hamster. I was hoping for the regional rodent to be a hamster, gerbil, guinea pig or something similar, but it being the regional pika-clone is so great. Totally getting one in my team even if it doesn't evolve like Emolga.

It's sad some Pokémon won't be getting new evolutions with the Mega forms confirmed... But I guess it's okay. This solves the problem in case Sableye gets a Mega form, not being upped by Eviolite's power.

I would love to see a Mega Victini. Or Mega Smeargle. Ohh yes!

Oh gawd...Sableye is op on it's own. It may not be the strongest of pokemon, but its resistances and immunities make it hard to take down.
If it had a mega, it'd be a feat to behold...

Boy did I pick a bad generation to get involved with competitive battling.

Currently, I'm not really feeling the mega forms (that sounds so much like either Power Rangers). Some of them could be considered necessary for the Pokemon who got them, like Mawile and maybe Absol. I'm really not sure about the Lucario one, since Lucario is one of my favorite Pokemon, and I don't know what the mega form will mean for it. The more I hear about these mega forms, the more I might warm up to them.

I can't get over these names though. "MegaLucario." "MegaBlaziken." "Megadramon."

The three new revealed Pokemon I really like. Meekuru is adorable, I really like the design of Horubii, and Dedenne needs to be on my team right now. I always like the electric rodents of the generations, and hamsters are my favorite rodents. To finally have one and have it be the Fairy type just makes me happy.

Thinking about it, giving it a Mega form would be as OP as giving it the chance to use Eviolite o_o

I know this because I repeatedly beat my cousin's casually trained uber team with just Sableye and few other 'mon xD Without it, he can defeat my "semi" trained team, but I guess that's because I'm no master at EV training and such, much less care for great IV's xwx

Ah! And I love the bunny Pokémon as well. Being a digging rabbit I'm sure these paw-shaped ears are for digging, so neat xD

I was surprised by the Mega Pokemon but I think that they are all really cool looking. I really like the MegaMawille because it looks fierce :D AND OMG Absol is gorgeous *___* I kind of wish that Ampharos was designed a little differently because I find it kind of hard to take seriously. I do like it though; I just wish it didn't look like it was wearing a wig.

I really like the rabbit pokemon but I think it should have been Normal/Ground since it is supposed to be the "Digging Pokemon."And also... DEDENEE IS THE CUTEST THING EVER! :3 <3 It is now my favorite from this generation because it looks like a baby Raichu <3

MegaMawile is underrated. The pink was just the touch she needed to actually slay aesthetically...

Well I'm a bit disapointed and excited about the Mega forms. I don't even know if I will even use them once, since I never used the online battle don't know what will be the utility outside of this if it's battle only, Mawile will probably never evolve just because of the Mega form.

Late to the party but I like Meekuru; it's freakin' adorable. A few of the Mega Evolutions are starting to grow on me, though.

Okay, so the Mega Evolutions have increased stats compared to the original versions, like MegaLucario's increased Attack and MegaAbsol's increased Attack and Speed.

I see them changing the term Mega evolutions to something else for localization to avoid stepping on digimon's toes (Digivolution itself was once going to be called evolution but decided not to in order to avoid issues with Pokémon).

Nothing is as derpy as Bidoof. Nothing. But I agree with you, it isn't the best looking 'mon going around.

I hope they show some more Mega starters. A Mega Samurrot can be Water/Fighting and be standing fully upright. Megatorterra can have a large vine around it's neck that resembles a snake to up it's genbu like looks...or Maybe make Mega Blastoise like Genbu as Genbu is water (not earth or wood, those are the East and Central dragons (center only appears in china mythology)).

MegaCharzard can be Fire/Dragon. Megavenusaur can be Grass/Dragon, and while they at it Blastoise can be Water/Dragon too.

Oh and Megatyplosion should be Fire/Fighting...it sounds trolly enough for GF considering all the Fire starters with that typing (it's not a bad typing either).

I want to see MegaGardevoir, and MegaGallade too.

This looks like it is aimed strictly at competitive online multiplayer battle, which I am not really into...

But, I do like the new mechanic. It seems like it could add a lot more strategy and planning into competitive battling. We won't know exactly until it is live, eh?~
Also, they mega forms look pretty cool to me :3

This is so great! I love it! I am a little bummed out that they changed the old Pokemon to something more advanced, but at least we can still get normal ones if we want, eh? :D

I feel Meekuru looks the best out of all of them, because one is basically a rabbit and the other is just a fat Raichu. BUT WOWZA! I still think they all rock and I am so psyched for X/Y!

Wow, talk about a major buzz kill. If those "Mega" forms weren't temporary then I wouldn't even bother playing the game. Guess I'll still give it a try though.

I'm not liking the look of this... Only a few Pokémon will have Mega forms. This could ruin competitive battling since it'll make some Pokémon incredibly overpowered. Like, Absol doesn't really need any more Attack than it has, the only thing that hinders his sweeping potential is his Speed.

I'm hopeful all the starters will have these forms. Hopefully Charizard stops being at the butt of Stealth Rock jokes. And a Mega Infernape would be pretty boss.

What will receive Mega treatment? We can guess.

I think Sableye is a candidate. He's Mawile's counterpart after all.

We can also be certain at least one 6th gen Pokémon will get a Mega form. Which one, it's unknown. Maybe a Pokémon that has yet to be revealed.

They've given Mega forms to Blaziken and Lucario, but I'm sure they won't give it to a pseudo-legendary. Neither of them need it. All of them are in either OU or Uber tier. Although here I make a statement: do NOT take Smogon tiers as base for what needs or doesn't need a Mega form. GF doesn't work with Smogon tiers, although I'm sure they analyze wifi battles to see what needs a buff. And I'm also sure they work with primarily the Japanese metagame, which may differ from Smogon's rules (Smogonites will hate me for saying this, but who cares).

I also make the prediction that Mawile will jump to OU as a hard Dragon counter. They want it to be a Dragon counter, or else they wouldn't have given it the Fairy treatment, and, considering it already resists Dragon, and might quadruple resist it if Fairy ends up also resisting Dragon, as well as getting a Mega form, it's easy to see where they want the metagame to go.

I hope the localization translates "Mega" into "Elder" or something like that. It would make more sense and sound less tacky IMO.

Finally, boosting Pokémon with items is not unheard of in Pokémon. Pikachu is boosted by Light Ball and Cubone/Marowak, by Thick Club. The difference is that this time the items change appearance as well, hinting that they may need to be activated in battle somehow. There must be a drawback to using these forms or else it's just like booster items.
