And we finally get previews of new music.
And it's very reminiscent of Shin Megami Tensei, no seriously, the second tune that pops up basically sounds just like a Shine Megami Tensei battle theme.
LOL some dude on YouTube said the part where they all MegaEvolved alongside each other looked like Power Rangers :P one shouldn't even quote that show {XD}

The music doesn't sound that awesome tbh, but I'm yet to listen to more music before deciding on buying the soundtrack...

Although Adaptability is very good, it actually makes up for the hold-item loss. Especially since Lucario/Megalucario will most likely be my prime, and its essentially signature move, Aura Sphere, is the most powerful guaranteed-hit attack...

Oh gawd...Megalucario + Adaptability + Black/Expert Belt....that would be ungodly powerful....
Good thing them Mega Stones take up the item slot then =P

Wow you guys all have zero taste. Mega Ampharos is where it's at.



Just look at that glorious hairdo. That ol' sheep knows how to rock it. He has to be the coolest damn Pokemon in the entire world now.

Ampharos is simply faaaaaaabulouss ~

While I like Amphy and the rest, my favorites thus far are Mawile and Blaziken.

Blaziken because black and red are my favorite color combination, combined with the fact that I've always liked Blaziken to begin with. With Mawile, it's not the aesthetics, but more of the technicial stuff. Now it has a great type combination (implying fairy is what I predict it to be), and whenever I see a Pokemon go from the bottom of the tiers rise up in the rankings, I go crazy. This happened to me with Cloyster getting Shell Smash.

mega absol in my opinion.
unlike most people i never liked absol, but now i really like it, i think they design it in a way that it wouldn't be over design but still we can see significant change.

hopefully i could use it in the main story

This, more or less. I don't know what it is with Pokemon and overdesigning these days. Like there's some kind of contest going on in house on who can make the most contrived looking creature.

Otherwise, I still have a soft spot for Mawile even if I stopped paying them attention almost altogether. And the Kangaskhan one is sort of like "well, duh", though making its kid a pre-evo would just make more sense. The only pre-evo that makes sense as far as I can even remember. Well, then there's Smoochum...

Ampharos is brilliant in that we see what became of all that fluff it lost at Flaaffy (<3), but I could take it or leave it. I still prefer Flaafs either way.

Mega Blaziken is by far my favorite, with Mega Ampharos in second. The others are kinda meh. I actually like Mega Blaziken more than regular Blaziken and Ampharos is a sheep, so it needed more wool :P

So will Torchic be available early on in-game? The event distribution begins October 12th and I assume you can begin downloading as soon as you can access the PSS or something? If so then I can see a lot of people having Torchic on their main team from the game start.

Okay just to be clear, I'm not opposed to the mega evolution thing. I think it has potential. However, I feel like they are choosing the wrong Pokémon to mega evolve. I mean, look at Mega Mawile, Mega Absol, and even Mega Lucario and tell me why they didn't just make these regular evolutions for said Pokémon, Mega Mawile especially. I would actually love it if Mega Mawile was just an evolution for Mawile. The only ones that really feel like they should be "Mega" are Blaziken, Ampharos, and Mewtwo. And what do those three have in common? They already feel as "evolved" as possible. They either already have a three-stage evolution chain, making the mega evolution feel as if its more justified being called "Mega" or they are legendary, again making the "mega" form more justifiable because there's this sense that they shouldn't "evolve" regularly.

IMO, they should only have mega evolution for Pokémon that already have a three-stage evolution chain or legendary Pokémon.

Instead of Mawile and Absol, they should have chosen pokémon like Gengar and Pidgeot.

Well, I agree partially with what you said. I agree that Mawile's Mega-evolution should have just been an evolution. I feel that Gamefreak will just go slapping Mega-evolutions onto Pokémon that need evolutions. What I don't necessarily agree with are the only three-stagers and legendary Pokémon getting evolutions. Pokémon like Lucario are already powerful enough in a two-stage evolution line. Absol as well, he just needed some more speed and I think giving him an evolution would be a bit too much just to raise some speed. It would almost force Gamefreak to raise all of it's stats. Giving it a Mega-evolution allows them to raise only attack and speed and get away with it.

I'm using it. However the rest will proably be all Kalos Pokémon.

Exactly two months until release...we're in the final mile of waiting which can sometimes be the hardest but we're close :).

I can see Mega Xerneas and Mega Yveltal happening if X&Y get direct sequels like B&W. That would be pretty awesome.

I am so using an Ampharos now. I didn't have an Electric type in Black and Black 2 but the fact that Mega Ampharos is going to be Electric/Dragon is so amazing!!!

I don't know, some Pokemon are fine without an evolution, and Pokemon like Lucario did not need another true evolution.

2 months; looks like an eternity.

I will use a full team of kalos region at the start of the game, depending on what kind of pokemon appears during gameplay I may change; it can be because of HM, of course there's a possibility of a HM only pokemon.

There's a pokemon I want an official evolution, not a mega evolution, or at least fix it's stats and then later give it a mega evolution.

I personally think mega evolutions should only be given to Pokemon that really deserve it, like Dunsparce and Delibird!

Lucario, Mewtwo, Absol, Blaziken, Ampharos and Kangaskhan are already powerful enough. They don't need some super special form because it doesn't give them a well needed boost. Instead, it makes them look cooler and be cooler.

Pokemon with bad stats compared to others, Pokemon that are almost always ignored and Pokemon people can't even remember deserve these boosts. They need the stat upgrade and epic designs, not Pokemon that already are epic enough.
