6th Gen Mega Evolution in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

[Oryx]

Wrong gen, but I would give my left arm to get an Arcanine mega evolution. SO LONG AS IT'S NOT RIDICULOUS LIKE MEGA MANECTRIC. B(

But yeah. I wanna see Rayquaza in this new primal/prehistoric/whatever form. I think that would be really awesome. Also, mega Jirachi.

I'm afraid of any Pokemon I actually like getting a mega. Who knows how they'll mess up the design :(

 

[SnowpointQuincy]

I suspect that Gen2 starters, which were given to the player in Emerald could have a Mega Evolution. Gen2 already had a remake, so when else would we get them? Also Gen6 did give us two sets of starters...

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Thus far I've liked what we've seen in ORAS compared to the Megas released in XY.

Gen II's remakes had Kanto and Hoenn starters given out at a later point, so perhaps ORAS will follow suit and have Johto and either Sinnoh or Unova starters (and their Megas of course).

 

[Oryx]

I'm just anti-mega designs in general because most of them tend to be "take original design --> add spikes/balls/design quirks and call it new". I guess I shouldn't expect an entire evolution, but I tend to defend GF's tendency to add more and more to Pokemon each generation but they make it harder and harder. Can't a powerful Pokemon just be simple?

The Mega Kanto starters (except for Charizard X) were more on the simple side for the most part. It would be nice to see something that's simple looking but still screams "Powerful". Actually it may even look more powerful compared to the ones that have too much on them.

Yeah that's true, they did add things but they didn't add that much. Imagine if they did a mega that actually removed all the extra features, wouldn't that be cool?

I bet the kids they're marketed towards wouldn't agree with me though :(

Yeah...like Chestnaught losing it's spiky shell, and Greninja not having it's tongue around it's body.
Does anyone think we may see a Mega Kalos starter? Or is Mega Diacie our early bird Cameo Mega like Blaziken was?

 

[SnowpointQuincy]

Mega Evolution is a great way to Avoid making new pokemon. We already have enough fish, etc. We don't need to make redundant mons to fill out the Dex. The Dex is full.

So, now they can add fewer new pokemon, to only pick the best. And add Megas to satisfy our need for "new" mons.

If you add the Gen6 mons with the number of Megas, they added about the same number of pokemon the always do. ~100

I think Gen5 and 6 starters need more time to find themselves before GF "makes them better"

For even numbered generations seeing how Gen III had 130 and Gen V had 151 which are a safe distance away from Sinnoh's 116 or so new Pokemon and Johto's 100.

I hope that they don't do so for next generation, it feels like of cheap...

Concerning the 2nd gen starters, here is my prediction. We will get them, as our 2nd set of starters. It seems odd, but Kalos had 2 sets. The 2nd gen starters will all get a mega evolution. The popular choice, being Typhlosion or Meganium, will be the only one to get a type change.

They'll probably come post game unlike the Kalos region's two sets. Thus far only Emerald, HgSs, and XY have had more than one set, and the first two had them post main story. Johto's were the ones for Emerald so it'll be fitting for them to be post main story.

I see Feraligatr getting the Dragon type in order so that each of the starter types will have at least one Dragon Mega. Typhlosion may get the Fighting type which will be cruel fate considering the three fire starters that came after it all had that type combo. Meganium could get the Fairy type. Hmm...Maybe Typholosion will surprise and be Fire/Poison in reference to the toxic fumes emitted from volcanoes.

 

[DJTiki]

I have this odd feeling that ORAS, will give some love to the grass starters(Sceptile and Meganium), as they did with the fire starters in XY(Charizard and Blaziken). Then later we can see the water starters get a few props. I think Sceptile will be the main highlight of the new megas.

 

[SnowpointQuincy]

Feraligator being Water Dragon would allow him to steep out of Gyrados's shadow. They have had similar movesets and role for a long time.

Typhlosion should be Fire / Fight, just to troll. #RuinAPokemon

Yeah, especially since some think it'll be Water/Dark which would simply make it more like Gyarados.
I can see that happening...trolls. But alas Typhlosion is a Special Attack oriented Pokemon, and has access to Focus Blast. Should they increase it's special attack upon Mega Evolving it could be our first true special oriented Fighting type. Thus far I feel like Focus Blast has yet to find a Pokemon that can use it's full power due to most being Physical or mixed attackers.

Feraligatr should get Strong Jaw as an ability. And should get the dragon typing. So its not in Gyarados's shadow. Meganium should be fairy. Typhlosion, in my opinion, should get a ground typing.

Yeah, it seems like something it should have considering it's line's dex entries about it's jaws.

Typholosion getting the ground type could work. But it lacks access to Earth Power which would work great with it's special attack. If they go the Fire/Ground route they will probably make it a mix attacker like the two Mega X's.

Edit: Oh wait, they could always have Earth Power as a tutor move, allowing GF to focus on increasing it's special attack and speed.

Yeah there's a real problem I see with special-oriented Fighting-types. The only special move that seems to get good enough distribution is Focus Blast and that has shaky accuracy. Aura Sphere does have no-miss accuracy but it has shallow distribution, while Vacuum Wave is a weak priority move.

You can tell the type itself is very physical-oriented, sorta like how Psychic (and also Fairy) seems to have way more special and status moves than physical. Steel and Rock also have very little special moves compared to physical ones.

Yeah...hope they will fix that once and for all next generation. Also they should make more special fighting types as I struggle to think of any that aren't mix attackers like Lucario...

If they decide to make Mega Unova Starters Samurott could be Water/Fighting (I would suggest Water/Steel but it'll make them too similar to the Sinnoh starters), or maybe it'll stay pure water like MegaBlastoise. Serperior could get the Dragon type, or the Ground type maybe? Ahh, but the Ground type would make them similar to the Sinnoh starters too...mostly due to Emboar already sharing it's type with Infernape...Fine Water/Steel for Samurott, and Grass/Dragon for Serperior that way it'll be a mix of both the Hoenn (well their Megas) and Sinnoh starter types.

Exactly, because steel has one good special move, being Flash Cannon, and Rock has one special move being Power Gem. If they did make Typhlosionm a fighting type, itll most likely be a mixed fighter.

Same for if it were made part Ground...all the former Physical types seem to suffer from lack of special moves... Dark though despite having been a former Special type lacks special type moves...well it lacks decent moves in general with the best being Dark Pulse imo.

Well...they could still make it a Special fighter considering how Mega Charizard X was mix despite Dragon having better special type moves (only good one is Dragon Claw) while Mega Charizard Y made it into even more of a special attacker despite Flying type having better attack offensive moves than special offensive moves.
