Just so people know. Here are clearer pictures:
Spoiler:







And more info

Not all Pokemon have Mega Evolutions.
In order to Mega Evolve the eligible Pokemon needs to be holding the Mega Stone.
As predicted the Mega Pokemon appear in battles only.
Mega Evolutions have increased stats, with CoroCoro citing two examples: Mega Lucario has higher Attack and Mega Absol has higher Attack and Speed. Mega Mewtwo has higher Speed .
The Blazikenite item cannot be found through normal gameplay.
The Super Training area allows you to increase your Pokemon's "Kiso Points." These are probably what we fans have been calling EVs all these years going by what our source said about the facility increasing EVs.
A new area called the Master Tower is related to Mega Evolutions.
The next CoroCoro will feature the new type chart reflecting the Fairy-type, new Pokemon, and new Mega Evolutions.

After looking at the clearer art, I'm liking Lucario's more. And the fact that Pokemon Mega Evolve by hold the Mega Stone and that it only appears in battle, make me more okay with Megas. If you don't want to Mega evolve a Pokemon, than you can clearly choose not to and keep their original forms. Alot of the Pokemon known to Mega Evolve so far don't really need a boost , but I've always wanted a Absol and Mawile evolution so I might Mega evolve those two.

I'm curious to see what other Pokemon get Mega evolutions. Sableye is likely but I hope there's still normal evolutions of older Pokemon.

If this MegaBlaziken is real, then we need a MegaSceptile and a MegaSwampert as well.

I'd also like MegaRaichu, MegaGolem, and MegaSableye, among others. However, I hope the Pokemon who get Mega forms can't use the Eviolite.

There are, however, Megas I don't want to see. Those include all legendaries (except Mew and Mewtwo), Skarmory, Blissey, Jellicent, and Ditto.

It's real.

And I'm thinking basically all fully evolved starters from all regions should receive Mega Forms.
I also wanna see Mega Luxray and Mega Dunsparce, poor lil guy nees it.

Those MEGA Pokemon seem... original? I don't really know how to see this feature...
I wonder if those MEGA Pokemon will be part of Kalos Pokedex or Kalos will have its set of Pokemon and MEGA Pokemon will stay only as Pokemon forms.
MEGA Lucario looks badass =D

When they do Sceptile

Going from grovyle to that....horrible.
Grovyle has a much better appearance

Your the first person I hear call Sceptile ugly...

MegaSceptile should be Grass/Dragon and has longer sword like arms.

MegaSwampert...I actually have no idea how a MegaSwampert may look... maybe taller with larger "fins" and more bulky looking.

So basically this is like Super Saiyan. It's still a blaziken but in battle it powers up. It's okay I guess. They could have at least only given mega forms to one or two stage pokemon only. What's with the mini Raichu? Also, where the [email protected] is mega charizard? Give me now!

Ampharos looks more like Super Saiyan than anything else. What will be the next thing if it's not all of the scoop ? Being able to have Trainers fusing with pokemons ? Or why not have like 6 of your pokemons in your party becoming 1 pokemon with parts of all the other pokemons.

I think the Mega Evolutions look really cool. and I'm glad Pokemon is doing something different for once. But Amphros's mega evolution is a electric dragon? that's weird to me it looks more like an electric fairy than electric dragon.

Well ya see, it's all to do with Ampharos' Japanese name, Denryu
Denryu can have 2 meanings depending on the Kana used.
It's first meaning is Electric Current.
And it's second meaning, is Electric Dragon. (the Ryu part)

So yeah, it was a Dragon in name since it was first introduced, and now it's dragon in type.

Awesome. With the confirmation of Mega Pokemon being a temporary, in-battle "transformation," some of my concerns have gone away. Not all, of course, but I'm definitely more okay with them now.

But this does raise the question: now that Pokemon like Mawile and Absol have Mega forms, how likely is it that they get actual evolutions in the future? My only disappointment with this would be to see Mawile never have a real evolution just because it has a Mega form!

Reminds me of the Mega items in Monster Hunter. I'm willing to see where the idea goes; I like the designs, anyway. I think it's a concept best applied to weak monsters with no evolutionary relatives like Farfetch'd and Mawile... of course there will be MegaMawile, definitely going to be on my team. If this is indeed an in-battle transformation, then my foremost hope about it is that it doesn't cost a turn, or there goes my HP.

Fusion of Pokémon is something I've always secretly desired. We got it with Black/White Kyurem.

Now, on 4chan it has been speculated that the idea of Mega forms came from Colress' research, and that the Mega form is the true power of the Pokémon Colress was speaking of.

if i see one more digimon reference i s2g!!!!

Anyway, I can't see Absol and Lucario becoming huge threats; I mean bigger than they are but not huge like people are making them out to be, of course they'll increase their offensive power but their defenses could be lowered. Those 2, along with a lot of other mega Pokemon could just become glass cannons? Ampharos will become a real threat imo; it now has Dragon, increasing its movepool. I think that its speed and special attack will increase a lot, along with it's special defense. Ampharos will probably become a lot more used. <3

I'm looking forward to next months! I think in all of this excitement everyone has forgotten about new Pokemon, I haven't seen much about wanting them anymore lmao.

I hope we still get some normal evolutions for older Pokemon, though.

EDIT

Not all mega Pokemon have to be all offensive based. If all starters get the upgrade then Blastoise, Meganium and Swampert won't become offensive powerhouses, they'll more than likely have their defenses and HP upgraded.

If they can make this make sense with the story, I'll be a little less opposed to it.

It just sucks that obviously not every Pokemon will get one of these forms, so it's not really fair. I'm guessing that Mega forms will not be allowed to be used in WiFi battles.

This would actually make a lot of sense, but if he is indeed related to Mega Evolution, then how come this random 4th gym leader knows the secret behind them?

If Colress does appear, would the 2 be related? Would they be partners?

I doubt they are related but if she is, she would most likely be his niece or even his sister? She could be a scientist too but she prefers not to look like one. If they aren't related she could just know their secrets because idk she does?

It's speculated that Kalos storyline is a few years after Unova, so maybe in Kalos time it's already widely known.

Besides, I think you're misunderstanding. They were speaking not of in-game canon but rather adding a character that would speak of some idea that they planned to introduce in the next game. The theory is that Colress was GF's way to hint at what we have now, but this does not mean Colress has anything to do with the Mega forms from an in-game canon perspective.

I would be thrilled if he did have something to do with the new evolutions, though, because IMO he's a good character and would deserve a cameo in the new games.

They would just be going overboard applying the Mega Evolution to each individual Starter evolution, I'm sure it only applies to a selected few and I still think that Swampert & Sceptile will gain this trait and then that's it for the starters.

Nope I didn't misunderstand.
That's why I said IF, quite a few times actually, IF he's related, IF he's in it.
