I refering to the trio when I said that, but why do you say Regigigas should never get one? Are you afraid they'll take away it's Slow start and allow it to shine? xD

Pretty much, yea. It'd be like taking Truant away from Slaking, and then giving it even MORE power...If you think people complain about boosting sweepers like Lucario, think of the mayhem of Regigigas getting boosted...

Can't be much worse than Mewtwo who has a higher BST...

BST isnt everything... Countless pokemon with lower BSTs can beat pokemon with Higher ones.
Regigigas is stronger.

That's true. As for Regigigas being stronger...that's debatable. Mewtwo has the highest SP. Att in the game and is faster.

Regigigas may not be fast, but it has plenty to make up for it. HP, Defense, and Attack, In a battle, without slow start, Regigigas would fare well against Mewtwo.
This isn't the thread for comparisons though :P
I just don't think Gigas should get a Mega.

Thanks for that xD.
On topic, it seems like we can activate the evolution according to the demo. Hopefully it won't take a whole turn.
I'm curious though as to how or when this button will pop up during the battle.

and if we are talking about poor things that suffer from their ability, it would be nice if slaking will get mega evo that have other ability than truant.

those are two pokemons that would become a great pokemons with different abilities

Well, the 3DS has much more complicated programming... It'll probably pop up on the main touch screen [Attack, Bag, Run, Pokemon]. And I still think it'll appear at 25, 33, or 50% hp or something like that...
Or it might not even be a button, could be simpler than that. Maybe we just have to activate the stone in the bag, which would then become disabled like the DNA splicers.

God, when I first saw this, all I could think about was Digimon! But hey, if it worked for Digimon, for the short time it was popular, why wouldn't Game Freak wanna try it too :P

I personally, love the idea! Nintendo is finally breaking out of its repetitive cycle and breaking into some new, untested grounds. Sure, who knows that the population will think of it, but I really like the effort of at least trying something kinda new. The Pokemon Amie was another thing too, I simply adore it!

Some of the forms remind me of like a godly appearance. So what if they are OP in some ways, you're only allowed one per battle anyway, so I say that it's better than having a full team of six XD Naturally, I don't play competitively. I would imagine that they'd have a tier with no Mega Pokémon and another with them, just so it gives the battlers some lei way, and to give them the same gameplay they're used too!

I love the designs and most of all, I love how some of these very underrated Pokémon have been brought back into the spotlight! Like Mawile? I loved it during gen 3, but forgot about it during my other playthroughs, but now, I totally want it again! I hope Nintendo and Game Freak will be brining some Mega forms to more underrated Pokémon like the Seedot family, or maybe even classics like the Caterpie family or even Pikachu (though I doubt they'd touch the gem of the entire series)

It's a cool idea and I think it'll do well ^^ I love how Pokémon is evolving along with the hardware and the audience (see what I did there? :P)

I think the mega evolution mechanic goes first and the attack next, but both are selected in the same turn, so maybe you don't miss the first turn when you mega evolve the pokemon you are going to use. The true question would be, is the megaevolution activated before any of the attacks (the user or the opponent) or is it subjected to the speed stat?

In the demo, both Crobat and Mewtwo have the same base speed, so that question, Chr. Draco, is a good one...

I think it would be pretty cool if Cherrim could have a simple mega that allowed it to turn into an improved Sunny Forme at the beginning of the battle. The overcast forme is pretty ugly, and setting up a sunny day is too inconvenient most of the time.

That was one of my original reasons for disliking megas, that things like Absol and Mawile could have just gotten evolutions. But then a realization hit me when mega Kangaskhan was revealed: none of the megas are really all that different in appearance compared to their regular formes. Mawile and Mewtwo were probably the most drastic out of them all, and even then, hardly so when compared to how most pokemon change after evolving.

I wonder...how do we know, that mega evolutions absolutely mean no true evolutions later on?
Pokemon could simply, add an evolution, and then just move the mega up. Or prevolutions for that matter, that would have no real influence at all on the mega formes.
It's not really out of the question for that possibility to exist...They could just lock off item trade-ups for any evolutions that change. Such as mawile's stone, not being able to go into the next game should they give it an evolution.

I haven't heard any of those being confirmed yet, but it's all certainly possible. I have a feeling that the pseudo-legendaries won't get a mega evolution this time around, but hey, I won't be complaining if they do (as long as they don't kill any of the designs)

I'm hoping every single starter gets a mega-evolution, with Charizard becoming Fire/Dragon and Sceptile Grass/Dragon. Gen 3 starters were my favourite so I hope they give Scep and Swampy something nice to compete with Blaziken.

Also, Aggron needs something too, definitely a wider move pool, more attack and an ability that makes him a huge threat ;)

The following is an image which lists all of the upcoming Mega Evolutions that are going to be introduced, whilst this has not been confirmed it yet seems very plausible for those Pokémon to receive a Mega Evolution upgrade. They're pretty iconic!

I'd be cool with those as mega evolutions. At least there are some from each generation...but it doesn't look like a lot, I hope there's more coming than that.

All these seem plausible. Though I'm pretty positive that those won't be all of them, seeing as Mewtwo, Mawile, and Absol aren't there.

I'm still taking it as a grain of salt since it's not confirmed, but if it is fake its a very well made one.

I hope those aren't all if it's real as there's no Gen VI megas on there...

Pretty nice list, I did wanted a MegaScizor but Im still not sure that is real since some known Megaevolutions dont appear, I understand MegaMetwo not being there since its just a movie pokemon but MegaMawile and MegaAbsol should be there. Also you cant help to notice aside from the starter evolution most of these Pokemon are already very strong.

Maybe since all the starter evolutions will have Mega Evolution they don't want to show Gen VI evolutions yet or any other Gen VI pokemon for that matter.

That list is missing 4 confirmed Pokemon. Its obviously not all of the Megas. We don't know if any of the others on there are even for becoming Megas or if there is some other meaning behind the picture. Its a set of 6, so I can assume its a team of 6 Pokemon that is going to be used for some battle event.

I meant all of the others. However I don't think that'll be all either.

I hope that Metagross and Hydreigon also get Megas if the other Pseudo's do get one each like the rumor says.

If I was going to have to say one from each Region it would be: Scizor, Zoroark, Gengar, Milotic & Staraptor since they seem to be the fan favorites and I can picture them gaining Mega Evolutions of some sort.

I hope Scizor gets one so finally it's actually stronger than Scyther in BST.

Also why Staraptor? The other regional birds need it way more. This reeks of favoritism inside GF.

I....don't know what to think about this whole thing. I hope it'll turn out better than expected. I've been looking forward to X/Y so much and I don't want this to ruin everything for me. Personally, I'd rather all Pokemon have their own Mega Evolution, or else it won't be fair at all. And why do those said Pokemon get Mega Evolutions? Why so special? I want answers...
