6th Gen Official September CoroCoro Discussion Thread -- Mega Evolutions, New Pokémon, More!

How do you feel about the Mega Evolutions?

Right now I'm still leaning towards it being fake. This is still a kids game and this seems like a complicated mechanic for a 9 year old to grasp. Not to mention, it isn't like we haven't seen fake scans before. They come out all the time. And 4th evolutions just don't seem likely. I feel like if this was real, we would've gotten a video from Nintendo or something explaining things a little better. Or at least a mention in the latest Direct. I just can't see this as real right now. Too many holes in it.
 
Could be fake. Like how there was a april fools joke for light type but it looked offical. It could be like that.
 
Why are people getting so mad about this? Almost every game I play has a feature like this in them.
 
I don't know whether People are branding this as fake because they don't want it to be true but it seems pretty conclusive.. Its the type of move Game Freak would take and frankly, I'm quite settled with the whole Mega Evolution concept as it's took time to sink in.

People getting pissed about this does make me wonder why. I mean, this is ultimately a different type of 'forme', which we've had since what? Gen 3 or 4? Big whoop. Ah well, I'm excited and to me, that's all that counts haha.

Pokemon fans generally hate any approximation to anything related to digimon ,remember the uproar wen kyurem fusing was discovered?
Yup this is going the same way

I guess I wouldn't say this is fake or true, rather it is unconfirmed. The leak of the cover, which ties into the other scans may very well be fake. We don't know for 100% that this is true until Nintendo or GF makes a statement either way. GameFreak has made many alterations already, such as the fairy typing, 3D Models, customization, riding pokemon, among others. These are all changes I can, not only tolerate, but embrace. This move just seems...out-there! (Not in a good way whatsoever)

Exactly what I thought when I saw people hating on this.

Really?

Serebii is listing it as evolutions. Under the X & Y section of the site, on the right hand side, the listing of the Megas is listed as Pokemon Mega Evolutions. Now, sure, Serebii is trustworthy but not 100% accurate all the time.

Not to mention, how can you say it's not fake until an official source confirms it? I feel like you're jumping to conclusions out of bias, as are a lot of people. Like I've already said, I know we just found out about this practically but there are still too many holes and this seems like too complicated of an aspect for a childrens game. I mean for ****s sake, there are hundreds of us debating over this and we can't even decide if they're forms or evolutions. How is a child supposed to figure this stuff out for themselves?
 
Considering the extremely large amount of space on the games, I'm assuming a large amount of older Pokemon have Mega Evolutions. I think it's safe to say that ALL STARTER POKEMON will. I'm really hoping that

Roserade
Milotic
Scizor
Houndoom


all have Mega Evolutions. They'd all look amazing.
 
I hope it's really hard to get a mega stone I wouldn't mind it even being event only this way it's more competetive also if these are the only ones who get mega evols give a good reason why in the story line but if blaziken gets a awakened form than Charizard and sceptile Needs one too
 
So I decide to wake up early and go on the internet to find out my Lucario is now digging dreadlocks...wut.

But seriously, this is totally awesome! To the "fans" crying out saying their favourite Pokemon are ruined, just don't evolve/change form? Simple as that tbh.

I go on Serebii and just get slapped in the face with a huge wave of awesomeness. There are SOME disappointments I have with these though:

1. I was REALLY hoping for Mawile and Absol to have evolutions, and I doubt the possibility of evolving a Mega Pokemon, they kind of seem like a "Final Form" type of thing. Also, WHY IS ABSOL NOT DARK/FAIRY?! They gave it wings even D:

2. Ampharos just looks...I can't even. Like they LITERALLY just drew clouds on it. At least with the other Pokemon they changed the appearances quite a lot, but Amphy? Also, Apart from Zekrom ( I don't usually count legendaries ) Ampharos is the first Electric/Dragon type Pokemon. I've been waiting for a massive dragon breathing electricity, then GameFreak are like "Hey remember Ampharos? Yeeeeeeeah he's kind of Electric/Dragon." ... I'm not against ANY of this new information, I just feel ampharos could've looked a whole lot better.

3. NO DRAGON EEVEE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? //shot

Apart from that I'm all for this. I promised I'd play Pokemon X/Y Only using Gen VI Pokemon, but **** that, try and stop me from having Mega(oh god please change the name of the DigimonFreak)Lucario!!

Edit: Also, wasn't it confirmed by the Movie that the new Mewtwo was a Speed Forme? Knowing this, and If Mega Pokemon get stat boosts, I'd say they all get higher speed stats. It's a long shot, but all the new Mega Pokemon kind of look more capable of being quick.

Let me try to explain the hate.

If they need a move to change forme, its a useless gimmick like Meloetta-P and Relic Song.
If they change forme at critical HP, its a useless gimmick like Darmanitan-Z.
If it requires an item slot, they will be a gimmick that requires a stat spread and movepool like Arceus to be useful. When was the last time someone actually let Genesect hold a drive? Never.

But if they're permanent formes like Rotom and such, they have the potential to be extremely toxic to competitive metagames. Like I explained before, for example, Huge Power Mawile will have nearly 100 more attack than Deoxys-A. AKA the metagame will be crafted around which Pokemon receives a new overpowered forme or not.


TLDR; this is either gonna be some huge gimmick or will actually destroy any worth Pokemon has at the competitive level. They should have worked on balancing the game we have now, instead of this mess.

Ampharos looks absol-utely (sorry >w>) Fabulous to me, and the changes are good enough, it's about the same amount of changes Mewtwo had.

I like all of em equally though.
 
The only thing I don't really like about this is that we wont see a Mawile evolution.
And I really want a Mawile evolution
 
I'm not afraid of a little shake up. I just hope that if a massive amount of Pokemon get these Mega Evolutions/Formes, I hope a lot of new Pokemon get them too. I don't want the value of Mega Pokemon to take away from my appreciation of the gen 6 pokemon. I really hope these are more common than they are rare, because I feel like some really special Pokemon may become irrelevant if they aren't given a Mega Forme.

It may be a kids game, but even pokemon knows, the majority of people who play it are teens and adults.
And it's not as complex as some kids games, I mean, you don't have to really THINK about it, you just...do it. There's not likely going to be a complicated procedure or anything like that. You just...use it, or maybe it's automatic.
Think about other games that come out for kids...Kingdom Hearts is far more complicated, and ESPECIALLY LoZ.
This isn't too far off the normal lines of Pokemon complexity.

@Haza, Well, most likely with the new generation, as with most generations, you'll get most of the older pokemon AFTER you complete the game, and probably further still [like a safari zone that unlocks after certain conditions are met.
But yea, I hope Gen VI pokemon get them too... Mega-Pangoro <3

Okay, fair argument. There is still one thing I've pointed out twice now that has gone unaddressed. And that is the imbalance this will cause.

Again, Fairy types were mainly introduced to keep a hold on Dragons, and to finally put a good balance on the games. Keep all the types with roughly the same amount of strengths and weaknesses, but, then the Megas are revealed and now the balance is off again.
