i really feel like Megas will be a way to play on what makes each (or many) Pokemon species special. Dex entries, designs, and unique traits. I feel like it's a way to show their true potential, and Mega Kangaskhan makes believe so many more will be given this treatment... and I do hope baby Kangas is it's own species.

I don't really care for this. They should just hurry up & make a baby Kanghasan.

First i hated the Mega stuff. Now I don't like it at all.
I hope that with the time I will start thinking: "Well, that mega stuff isn't bad after all.".

I'm pretty sure we're waiting for clarity on this, serebii don't seem to know exactly what it means.

"One Mega per battle" could mean:

+ Only one of your pokémon can transform per battle.
+ Only one of your pokémon can hold a mega stone.
+ Only one mega pokémon can be out in double/triple/rotational battles.
+ Only one transformation per battle. Meaning if you withdraw Mega-X it will not be able to mega-evolve when you send it out again.
+ Could just be limited to online/wifi battles.

Really, we don't know much ><.

I highly doubt a function that's part of the game's story (after all, the gym leader Korrina knows the secret and there's a building in the game dedicated to them) would be limited to wireless.

I believe it may be the first one, only one can change per battle.

I believe the guys who still want a Kangaskhan pre-evo may not have heard of this theory: What if the baby IS Kangaskhan, and the mother was just its substitute, which explains why the Mega Stone only affects the baby instead of the mother?

Fake Out is only usable on the first turn the Pokemon is out; Kangaskhan (or any others) won't Megavolve on round 1 before the attacks...

Am I the only one who noticed this?



The first pic is the "beta" design of Torchic, it has 2 wing-like thingies on the head.
MegaBlaziken also appears to have 2 similar wing-thingies on the head so...

Could the design of MegaBlaziken be inspired by the beta design of Torchic? Or could MegaBlaziken's design be the "unreleased" evo of beta Torchic?

Oh great, now we've got a game that adds Digivolution. And this is why the series is going downhill.

It's also probably inspired by Blaziken/Latias' early prototype design

Which also has the hair going up (not as much though)

Stop being cynical. The game is as popular as ever. Just because there are some new form changes that you don't like, or just because there is CHANGE to a SERIES, it doesn't mean it's automatically bad! Why not embrace it? Or if not, fine, you don't have to use it. The game doesn't force you to by the looks of it. (And what's wrong with it being like digimon..?)

I think mega evolutions are pretty cool. By limited to only one I think it means you can only have one change per battle. It would sort of suck if the mega stones were one-time only use, though. :<

We'll know when the games come out though.



They did say that not all the Pokemon will be getting some.

Like I've said before we can pretty much rule out those that already have Form Changes since Mega Pokemon are also Form Changes.

Keldeo, Meloetta and others like Cherrim who mostly change while in battle seem like they'd conflict with a Mega Form. Those with temporary changes like Rotom, Shaymin, Deoxys conflict as you can change the forms outside of battle needing to create multiple Mega Forms for the pokemon which I don't see happening. The you have Battle Item forms for Genesect, Arceus, and Giratina which I again don't see happening.

Other than Pokemon who already have Form Changes, a few gimmick Pokemon I can't see getting Mega Forms, Ditto, Smeargle, Zoroark. Two of them defeat the point of the Mega Form Gimmick and one is an attack gimmick.

I see maybe 20 to 30 Pokemon getting Mega Forms and I feel as if I'm being too generous with this. I think its going to be a small collection and not a large amount.
They said, not all pokemon, not "All Fully Evolved pokemon"

Plus, this is what I would prefer; I doubt it would actually happen :p

I think considering that they actually only boost a couple stats and change some typings and abilities that this would bastardise Mega Evolution. Of course this is all speculation, but it would be stupid for them to do this.

Well maybe if they introduce Warp Mega Evolution they would be useful in Little Cup lol.

Now that it's clear that Mega Evolutions have their limitations, I'm very pleased with them. I'm still hoping for more starters to have them, as I still think it would be unfair for Blaziken to be the only one with a Mega Evolution.

Now I'm hoping for a Mega Kyurem to be the Unova Original Dragon, and maybe even a Fairy/Dragon Dunsparce. But I also hope this doesn't dash Mawile's chances of having a real evolution in the future.

At first I thought this was really fake. Then I realized it's actually the best thing ever.

The mom gives the Mega Stone to the child. It is really SO. GREAT <333

Yeah, we still have no idea what the Original Unova Dragon looked like, nor whether it was called Kyurem or something different, the only problem, I doubt Mega Kyurem would resemble the original dragon as it'd also require absorbing both Zekrom and Reshiram back into itself.
GameFreak really needs to reveal the original dragon already.

Also, Mega Dunsparce, needed, poor little guy.

After seeing what they did to Kangaskhan I could see both Plusle and Minun gaining a Mega evolution that allows them to summon their respective counterpart to battle with them. Their ability would allow them to benefit from Plus and Minus like Neutral Charge (oh god I'm terrible at names) or something like that......

It would be MegaRaichu. The Mega Pokemon are "evolutions" of fully evolved Pokemon. Pikachu is not fully evolved.

I can imagine a few of the Pokémon that are looked over from the rest will get this Mega Evolution, well I hope so anyway! I'd like to see this happen for Dunsparce, Relicanth, Maractus, Cryogonal, Seviper etc.

They should Mega evolve Castform and allow it to transform into a Mega Castform sandstorm forme.

Keep in mind that this is an optional feature of the games, you don't have to utilize it. I was against the idea at first, but have since grown to embrace it. I can't wait to uncover all the secrets of Mega-Evolution, and finding out all the Pokemon that get one.

IMO, this is one of those features that some people will dislike at first, then eventually enjoy.

Know who I want to get a Mega-Evolution? Go on, guess.

Mega Evolution seems interesting, Are the Mega evolution Pokemon will be stronger than the legendary Pokemons ??? If yes, people will probably just ignore the legendary pokemons and focus on The Mega Pokemon. Unless the legendary can Mega evolve too :D

I wonder if true Kyurem is in B2/W2's coding at all....
Maybe they had an original plan for an event version of DNA splicers that could merge all three and we don't even realize it.

A possible concept of True Kyurem, if you look at Black version and White version, the changes made are on opposite sides, so maybe Kyurem's own design holds no place in the true body, and it's more of a combination of Reshiram and Zekrom...

Maybe we'll see it eventually, at least in a movie if not a game.
Mega Kyurem would be too powerful though.

And seeing as Pikachu is the Iconic Pokemon, most likely it/Raichu will get one. Or it could be a rare exception to the 'fully evolved' rule, and Pikachu itself could get a mega due to its Iconic stature.
Hey maybe even Ash's Pikachu will be the one to show us in the series~
