Please no , That thing need an actual permanent evolution
So very very true.
Andto pad this post out, why the heck aren't people in love with mega-audino? I haven't seen a prettier design in a looong time and yet I see people reacting to it the same way they did with Trubbish and Garbodor .___. ???
I realise that for both mega audino and slowpoke, they stated "mega stone found in ORAS".
Guess that means both pokemon cannot be found in Hoenn then...
Except Donphan is already part of Hoenn's regional dex. It appears that only Hoenn Pokémon and Pokémon who aren't in the regional dex are getting Mega Evolutions, which is why I suggested Dunsparce.I could see Donphan for gen 2.

I disagree with this, I was looking on Tumblr and most Mega Audino reactions were actually things like "oh god it's so cute" and "I need this Mega", and the fanart I've seen proves it. I can tell it became one of my fave Megas within seconds of noticing it.
I can't believe I forgot Mega Xatu, that would be another great one.
Poke monoplayer said:I really hope to see a mega legend in this game!!!

I honestly think it'd be a good idea to reclassify legendary pokemon with a 600 BST to something different, like mystic or something of the like. Maybe even some like the bird and beast. After all, the bird trio are all considered to be inferior to Lugia, so not all legendaries are equal, even just in stories.Yeah, no I do know what you mean. I still don't feel like mega-evolutions are the answer to this though. I'd prefer their stats simply be changed, with no attempt at explaining it away.
The reason they're under powered is just because they're older, right? I feel like they'd just be correcting the mistake they made of not keeping all these pokemons stats making sense relative to each other.
More than anything it's the idea of legendaries that's being damaged imo, and more than anything~ else in the game would I like to keep that intact as the stores have always revolved so heavily around them.
For me, it really diminishes the ideas I held of the legendaries I've caught in games before mega-evolution was introduced and I simply just don't see them as awe inspiring or special as I once did due to the once accurate story of these pokemon kind of being the most powerful form of what they represent not being so anymore.
(that last sentence might not read very well, sorry, I was having trouble there)
I don't see why we won't be able to encounter them, though? While it won't make much sense to be running into these Pokémon in Hoenn itself, there could still be outside locations post-game, such as Battle Frontier; if we find Audino and Slowpoke there, then it would indeed make sense.
As for their mega-evolutions, I think they're good! Mega-Slowbro does look a little weird, I suppose, but stats-wise, it's still getting some boost, so that's all that counts, I feel. Mega-Audino—this Pokémon is simply adorable. Only thing that I dislike, though, is the fur-ball at its front; if it weren't for that, it would have looked a lot better to me, for sure.

Maybe, because outside of that I can't see it being a good component to many teams outside of Doubles, and even then it's very offensive based and Mega Audino is quite the opposite.I had a thought about mega audino, as well. It is, of course, not a fantastic pokemon stat-wise to begin with, so its mega likely won't be... usable. However, if may have been created simply to be a good pokemon for contests. I don't quite remember the mechanics behind contests anymore, as its been quite a while since I've played Gen 3, but it seems like a cute pokemon like audino mega evolving into a more elegant form may have not been a coincidence.
Jirachi* :]Maybe Mega Jiranchi will be faster, and have higher defenses. Mega Deoxys can have balance stats if they don't allow each forme to Mega evolve and keep the forme's specialty and appearance for the most part.
I was actually thinking of it's Mega stone being able to Mega evolve all of it's formes. So you'll have Mega Speed forme Deoxys, Mega Attack forme Deoxys, Mega Defense forme Deoxys, and Mega Normal forme Deoxys.Jirachi* :]
I don't see the logic behind giving Jirachi and Deoxys Megas/Primal formes, especially not the latter because that would technically mean five new Deoxys formes... that would just be a mess.
