Say what you want but these mega evolutions are really disappointing. They don't ruin X/Y completely to the point where I won't play it but they're just so ridiculous and unnecessary. Also to be completely honest they look exactly the same except with flowing... hair things protruding from their head. The names could of also done with work. Mega Lucario. Really? I'm not the one who goes "omg gen one is the bestttt everything else sucksss" but its just really.. not what I would of expected. They could of at least had better designs and more creative names. Also personally I feel like some of them are just there to fill up game data. I'll give them a chance but so far I'm not seeing the appeal to them. :I

(although I have to say mega absol doesn't look half bad)

Small Update:

Quote:
It also provides a few further bits of information. First, Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they are holding a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are a type of item like Evolutionary Stones and include specific items such as the Blazikenite that the event Torchic holds. The Blazikenite is not found within normal gameplay. It also confirms that Mega Evolutions are temporary, being only in battle.

It confirms that not all Pokémon will have Mega Evolutions. The Master Tower has a connection to Mega Evolutions
It also confirms stat increases, stating that MegaLucario's Attack is higher. MegaAbsol has increased Attack & Speed.

We also can confirm that Meekuru has the ability Sap Sipper. Finally, it also confirms that Super Training will increase Pokémon's "Kiso" Points. This is what EVs are commonly called in Japan.

Next month's CoroCoro to feature new Pokémon, new Mega Evolutions and type chart featuring the Fairy-type

Source: Serebii.
So some more Mega Evolutions? I don't think there will be too many but I'm interested to see which Pokémon have it.

I heard a weird rumor that this Blazikenite is actually a sort of booster for Torchic and Combusken to acquire Blaziken's stats in battle, which makes sense, but take it with a grain of salt...

Actually, Blazikenite seems to be the name of Blaziken's respective Mega Stone, possibly.

Designs for the new forms looks nice. Some are amazing while others (Ampharos) looks really weird, I mean, just add hair and horns onto the Pokemon and call it 'Ultimate'? The Blaziken one looks nice, Absol's one looks very nice.

My favorite is most definitely Mawile, closely followed by Absol. The others look pretty fierce too but these two stand our for me.

This is basically what I was about to say. It's ridiculous what Game Freak is doing! I was okay with the new Pokemon (except Dedenne, which looks like some little kid's drawing of a Raichu) but why must they ruin the original!? These "mega forms" are just plain stupid to me.

I personally think the idea/concept is cool, but you have got to be kidding me about the name..

Blaziken and Lucario are designed the worst imo; they just look so badly made. Absol's design is surprisingly good, its wings make its design x1000 times better imo.

Ampharos is the cutest thing I've seen uwu. Mawile looks cute, although I can't help feel that it would look better as a normal evolution.

If they give Mega Evolution formes mostly to Pokémon that didn't evolve in the past games such as Skarmory, Aerodactyl, Heracross, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Shuckle, and Lapras, then I'm absolutely fine with it. The only thing I don't like about this system is that it's only temporary. It would have been much better if Mega Evolutions were permanent, in my opinion.

I wonder if Mega Evolutions will be carried on to the generation 7 games?

Most Likely, this isn't something they'd remove in future gens, but let's stick to gen 6 for now.

Mega evolutions are so not necessary! Blaziken and Lucario don't need an upgrade in their stats. and I thought Awakened Mewtwo was just Mewtwo and his DNA giving him the power to change form, but it is just a Mega form -.-
They look cool, except for Ampharos, which is Dragon now, why?

Ampharos' Japanese name, Denryu, has 2 translations, it can either translate to Electric Current, or Electric Dragon (should be obvious when ya know that Ryu means Dragon).
So it was Elelctric Dragon in name since introduction, now it's elec/dragon in type.

UPDATE: The English Pokémon Youtube has uploaded a video showcasing the Mega Evolution in action!
It also shows the gym leader is named Korrina, and her gym puzzle involves using your roller skates to grind around the gym!
Also, the Torchic holding a Megastone has been confirmed for English distribution too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTHgE0vtOXU
Also, Megastones are confirmed on the official site as hold items, and are named after the Pokémon that can use them, for instance, Lucarionite.
They can be found in game in hidden areas.
The official site also states that Mega Evolution lasts for the whole battle and then deactivates once the battle is over.
The official Site also has info on Super Training, which is accessed via the touch screen.

Blaziken and Mawile are my two favorite megas. My least favorite is Absol because it just looks strange with those fur wings.

The new rabbit Bunnelby looks like someone dipped its ears in chocolate :3
Dedenne looks like a baby Raichu, so I'm hoping its evolution (if it gets one) will look more unique.
Everyone has known about Skiddo for a while, but I'm glad that there will be a baby Gogoat.

I'm hoping that we'll be able to get Torchic right away. I'm also wondering if the Kalos Pokédex will have every Pokémon in it? It seems strange that they would give away Torchic to people who just bought the games.

Okay, so new names:
-Meekuru is Skiddo. I like the combination of "skid" and "kiddo" (slang for kid, a child or a young goat)
-Horubii is Bunnelby
-Dedenne keeps its Japanese name

I like that. I guess he's this gen's "Pachirisu" type. He's super cute at least.

I'm warming up to mega Pokemon but I am still kind of put off by the whole thing. It just creates a new level of confusion. Will mega pokemon be allowed in competitive battles? I don't think that would be fair. And are we going to need a mega pokemon to beat Korrina? ... How many mega pokemon will there be?

After seeing the video and time for this to sink in, I actually really like Mega Evolutions. Even the name has grown on me! Also, is it just me, or does everything look WAAAAAAAAY better in the in-game footage? That's how Mega-Blaziken and Mega-Lucario have started to grow on me.

Mega Stone are not obtainable through normal gameplay. I think it's a good idea from gamefreak, which is to avoid excessive use of Mega Evolution in competitive or casual battle in a team. Maybe one Mega pokemon for a team.

Actually, only the Blazikenite is unobtainable through normal gameplay, the official site states that other Mega Stones can be found in-game in hidden areas.

Check out the official site too.

Dang!

Mega Blaziken also looks pretty cool. Really, art only does so much - seeing the models always seems to make them look better, or for me at least. And just imagine it in 3D! =D

Only Blazikenite is not obtainable in normal gameplay.

From Pokemon.com:
"Some of the many Mega Stones seem to be hidden in secret places in the Kalos region."

Each pokemon with a mega evolution will have its own specific stone.

Agreed. They do look better in-game. I'm actually really impressed with how they made all the Pokemon look so great in-game. I originally thought they didn't look as good as the Pokedex 3D models, but they match Sugimori's style much better and kind of give me that same feeling that sprites give.

I think GameFreak has acknowledged that Mewtwo and Lucario are basically Frieza and Goku.
