I'm not having Torchic on my team. I'm planning to use either Talonflame or Litleo as my Fire type.

In very begining when mega evolution introduced i was very confused and was trying to understand how mega evos are different from normal evos.
At first just like you i thought its just an evo for a three staged pokemon, but than i saw that mawile and absol got one.

Now I see that mega evo its just an improvment and not a drastic change like normal evo usually do-take for example absol mega evo-as a normal evo it would be a really disappointing, and to be honest there isn't where to much to go with absol.

Also take kangaskhn as example-there is mom, how can a fully grown pokemon evolve? thats why giving it a mega evo was the best.

so mega evos aren't just for pokemon who are three staged, but also to pokemon which would be weird if they have evo becuse they are finished.

*Also, unlike normal evos, mega evo seems to be alot about helping pokemon in competitive battle.

Mega Absol looks too angst and his wings are complety unessescary, Mega Lucario looks like its on fire, Mega Blaziken is on steroids, Mega Kangaskan's baby is the only one that changes, Mega Mawile is going to kill something and Mega Ampharos is trying to grow his wool out to look like a long haired hottie from a cliche lovestory movie.

Oh and let's not forget Mewtwo, who now has a tail attached to his head. He looks totally messed up guys.

How do you get angst from Mega Absol? Emo's and angsty people didn't invent the peek-a-bang, yes, it's a peek-a-bang, not an emo do, there is a difference.
If anything, that longer bang helps make Absol's face look even more like the Yin Yang, and actually makes it look more graceful.

Umm...Are you sure that's a tail though...like Mega Mewtwo is too cliche and mainstream lolz. More like Wiener Head to have a nice tune to the name. *cough* regular form *cough* oh and yes childhood memories had already been destroyed for a very long time because of this...

But you know, going Super Saiyan can turn you into a total God and a half, or the near level below God like status.

But yes agree on everything you said.

At least they gave ampharos some wool, considering the fact that it's pre evolutions have wool and are based on sheeps.

Mawile looks more like wearing a samurai outfit.

Mewtwo always looked like freezer from DBZ to me, just some differences, and I think the new form it has as a mega makes it look faster, and since it is a clone of mew, a theory could be that since it's DNA may be a little unstable for being a clone, his appearance can have any drastical change. There's also the fact that was supposedly genetically altered to be the strongest pokemon.

For trailers, GF should picked all starters from all five region to showcase the Mega Evolution.
So fans from the various generations would go like Woah!

I agree that Mawile should be given a new evolution instead of a temporary evolution form.
While I'm satisfied with Absol having it,
because Absol's base stat are more like First or Second Stage Pokemon,
I think the ME form could be better than that though.

Wait for it.... MEGA - LUVDISC.

The worst, most awful pokemon, not even good enough to become a Amolomola, Would be the perfect MEGA-MON! It could evolve in battle, but then the that pathetic wimp when you look at it in your party.

Mawile has the stats of an unevolved pokemon. So, if it evolved normal, that would be COOL. Absol is a complete Pokemon, I love him, ... Absol might be the right kind of pokemon for a Mega-Evolution. He is to strong to evolve again, but could benefit from better speed/bulk.

P.s. MEGA-BIBEREL, MEGA-DELIBIRD, MEGA-FARFETCH'D, MEGA-KRICETUNE

Well to be fair it has only been a few days since we found out about the whole Mega Evoltuions concept, I'm sure there's going to be more Pokémon and odds are one of them will be one that you would've chosen. I'd say their choice so far is on the mark since Mawile needed an upgrade as did Absol, but you are entitled to your own opinion.

Personally I'd like to see a mega Gengar, mega Golem, and of course MEGA SANDSLASH!
Mega Rapidash would be pretty cool too.

Cuz it gotz them bangz. I despise unreaslistic bangs that cover the entire eye so much you wouldn't know. If you're a part of the Warriors fandom you'll know what I mean. Absol looks like a cliche "dark angel" not a Yin Yang representitive. Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem represent it just fine. Absol is just... no. That is not yin yang, it's just black and white.

It's Freeza (or Frieza as there's apparently two spellings)...not Freezer... Also it's Mega Evolution looks more like Kid Buu than Freeza imo.

How does Mega Blaziken look like it's on Steroids? It's still not bulky like Machamp...
Sounds like people are just desperate to hate these Mega evolutions...

Freezer is what Goku calls him in DBZA. (Pokemon needs a Muffin Button)

And now we get to think of Mega-Machamp....more steroid abuse.

As many of you know, this is a new feature being brought to the Gen 6 games which allow a temporary form change in battle that grant certain "boosts" to the Pokemon. But in the end, how will this affect competitive battling?

In my opinion, a few things can happen.

* They could be placed in Uber Tier and not have much effect (Unless you're playing an Uber match) or have their own Tier

* They could not effect a Pokemon's Tier standing, and if this were to happen, we would see MANY of the same Pokemon being used in a tournament (Such as Lucario being a Physical Sweeper on many teams)

Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on the effect this will have on the competitive scene and team composition.

I'd love to see what GF can do with the massive bipedal monster type pokemon such as Tyranitar, Aggron and Groudon. They're my favourite design. I don't consider Kanga in the same classification as it's a nurturing mother figure rather than an aggressive mountain troll.

It'll have a huge effect for sure but they won't be instantly put in Uber or have their own tier. They'll be tested and analysed to see what tier they belong in. Since they need the mega stone to activate their formes they won't be able to hold an item, limiting their usefulness. I think a lot of them will be in a higher tier; Blaziken will probably stay in the Uber tier.

Can people imagine a MegaAlakasm? It can be faster and have even more Sp. Att. Or they could fix it's awful defenses...and the horror that will be MegaGengar (pun intended).

Well, seeing as Alakazam is Lucario's counterpart....
A special sweeper...

They could fit it with the ability Idea I came up with, make it a GOD
Specialize - An ability that converts Physical moves to Special moves. (Just think of the potential of all the Punch moves Alakazam can learn, with its old pre-genIV power back)

That's frightening to imagine...and kind of cool...maybe they could also give it the fairy type...well it is a fox...or so I think and is said to have been a human in a dex entry which reminds me of stories involving humans with strange powers but are actually fair folk.

You know what else they could do? GIVE IT ITS TAIL BACK! I hate that Kadabra has a big, lovely, puffy tail, and then Alakazam loses it. They could give it a new, fluffy tail, a nice goatee to go with the stache...a third spoon that levitates in front of it.
And the fairy type would be fitting. Especially depending on what else it's strong against besides dragon, such as Dark and Ghost. That would make Alakazam able to take on its own enemies in Dark types...
Oh not just a big fluffy tail, More of them...to go with the fox/fairy thing. Not a ninetails, although, fairy/fire ninetails?~
Alakazam would be, the Demonslayer, and Lucario the Dragonslayer... What's left?

Do you wonder if pokemon officials ever scout forums like these for ideas?

Mega Roserade is going to be amazing... I can feel it. Along with Mega Milotic and Mega Houndoom.
I've been thinking of more gimmicks similar to Kangaskhan (who may have stories within their appearance).
Those that come to mind:
Parasect - with it's parasitic fungus taking over it... maybe it'll come back to consciousness and slay more than the fungus allows it to...
Marowak: maybe we'll get to see the face under the skull? Or maybe it's skull will become more grand. Or maybe it'll gain Ground/Ghost typing and the spirit of it's mother will fight by it's side?
Dugtrio... maybe we'll get to see what's underneath there...
