Oh great. And I thought I could get the Blazikenite in-game. Here's to another set of squashed hopes.

No, my region is nowhere close to the event regions... I guess I'll just have to use AR codes, as much as I hate them. If there was a AR code for getting items, that is.

I don't think you need to go to a store for the Torchic, I think you just need a wifi internet connection. I hope the other events will be like that.

I too hope they'll be by wi-fi. AR codes don't sound bad...GF should've made them that way...less trouble if one missed one...

Anyways I'm hoping Ludicolo and Shifty get Megas. Ludicolo could get Drizzle (infinite rain dance...and it's ways dancing xD) while Shifty gets a new ability.

WHY do they put stuff in the game and NEVER LET YOU USE IT?

All the starters got DW abilities, but never released them in earnest. So no one gets to play with them outside of Pokemon Showdown and the like.

The Azure Flue to catch Arceus was never released, they just made it a boring Toys-R-Us download.

I Hope these Mega-Stones can be traded from game-to-game. That way all we need is an item cloning create and everybody gets to play.

-----------

On a less angry note... Keckleon could use a Mega. His ability Color Change is only interesting when he is taking hits, so making him a tank would make Color Change more exciting. He would be a wall that you have to take out with a clever combination of moves. His Special Defense is already 120, so just boost his Defense and HP a little bit and you are done.

He could also use a move that changes type with him, like Arcus's Judgment, but like 60 power instead of 100.

Is this stuff about Kalos Pokémon not getting any Mega Evolutions true? Or is it some random rumor/speculation?

That would really be lame if it's actually true, how does that make any sense when the Mega Evolution stuff is found in the Kalos region?

Its true, and actually can understand this.
The mega evo ment to make old pokemon more fresh and new, but the kalos pokemons which are new don't need such a thing.

That is your point of view, but i'm mainly leaning toward it's story
I'm pretty sure that the story will involve the Mega Evolution existense,
If all the regions expect generation 6 will get at least one Mega evolution wouldn't that be, eh.. out of place? I can understand giving other older generation making some fresh and new looks, but I see that more of a personal favor for the fans which has nothing to do with the story. I'm okay with generation 6 not getting Mega evolutions I just hope they make it clear for the reason: Why they don't get any at all. This is the Kalos region after all.

They'll probably get some in the third version to make them newer and say they discovered them.

Now I'm thinking Gen 5 will also not get much Mega evolutions...if any. As we have yet to see any.

I'm absolutely sure Gen6 Mega will be sequel bait. Or, they just don't want to do them for new pokemon.

I love MegaAmpharos. It's such a rich source of memes...Serebii in todays Pokémon of the Week had a mention of it under Altaria's page xD (saying it took it's wings and used them to make it's hair and gain the Dragon type...)

Hopefully there'll be another memetastic Mega.

What do you prefer more, getting a mega evolution or a regular one?

To be blunt, from the first announcement I wasn't thrill about mega evolutions, and when I saw the changes caused by mega evolution I told myself: "This is crap!"
I believe this (mega evolutions) came up as a way to break routine, which is a great thing to aim for after so many games that build on the same idea, but was badly executed for couple of reasons...

Anyway, what would you prefer?
Mega evolution, a regular one to a known Pokemon (what is "old Pokemon"?) or a new Pokemon with 1\2 evolutions?

I say cut the mega crap, leave the old ones alone and give us new Pokemons with two evolutions each and that's it.

To be honest, I think Mega Evolution is just the same as evolution, but with "mega" in front of it. People get mad about it, but I think it is really cool. I have always loved when gf added new evolutions to old pokemon, and this really gives them an opportunity to do so. I always drew "stage 3" evolutions to existing pokemon for the lulz, so I really think it is a dream comming true. I mean, you can't deny that mega evolutions to Absol and Mawile just complete their designs, making them the pokemon they should've been in the first place.

I love the idea of Mega Evolutions. However I would also want them to give some normal evolutions to Pokemon that could use them.

My main problem with the mega evolutions is that they are kinda cheap. The Pokemon ain't that different from his previews form like it evolves half-way and stop.

Well I see the name as being symbolic of the change...the name didn't change beyond the addition of Mega and likewise the looks don't change all that much besides additions. Thus far MegaMewtwo Y has been the most different, which makes it a favorite of mine ^_^. I do like the ones with small changes though like Kanghaskhan, and Ampharos (this one provided us with a lot of memes).

Apart from the physical changes it's pushing too much, in my opinion, into being a copy of the Digimon franchise.
But you know what, if they'll present it properly in the Anime, give it a really good build like they do every time they create a story to a new legendary Pokemon (in the Mange it's just awesome!), then it might own the idea and work. For that I'll admit that regardless of what I think at the moment, it's too soon to judge.

I'm assuming you're solely basing your opinion on the appearances of the Pokemon, yes?

Do realize that Mega Evolutions are not actual evolutions, but simply a method that GameFreak has created to give certain Pokemon a way to battle differently and, in the process, become more viable options amongst the games' more competitive players.

Mega Evolutions aren't meant to look drastically different because they are not actual evolutions.

I don't think it's pushing too much into Digimon territory...just yet. It's not like there's warp Evolution into Megas xD.

I Like this as a Mega Evolution Idea

Spoiler:




A small change, like stepping out of one's shell, which dramatically changes the battle properties of a pokemon. Mega Kangaskhan also does this. She doesn't change, she just changes the way she fights.


I love some Megas, and the idea that you only get ONE of these extra powerful mons on your team. Imagine if you had to choose Salamance OR Garchomp instead of having a whole team of Uber-Dragons.
