Now that I got over the initial shock… Aside from the lazy names and the design, maybe it's not that bad of an idea after all.. It's like an alternate form, but flashier.

I kind of like the mega evolutions. MegaLucario looks awesome IMO
-
The fact that they're probably going to have to spend a turn in-battle to transform, or that they use the item slot for it, hinders these things but yeah… different options are good. Having different typings or abiltiies or moves on a thing that had previously topped out its number of evolutions or was already really strong at the final form it has... Its a good thing. Shame it'll probably only apply to a few things. Ininitially at least.
(And that its item activated helps rationalize why some of these things haven't gotten these evos sooner in the last 15 years... but being temporary and item based means they can be overpowered a bit... depending on if the item is consumable I guess)
But that its switchable is good, it means you have more options and aren't just stuck.
Also. Absol with magic bounce. Damn. Though I love superluck on him, so...
Btw Robby if you read this, maybe MegaSandlash is a steel type like you wanted .
It took them 15 years and up until BW2 to start giving him ground moves. Sandy isn't getting special attention now, especially not when the other mole stole all his upgrades. Still… I can dream.
And maybe one day emolgas will fly.

Gamefreak remembers that Mawile exists, that's all I care about
Also Mega Ludicolo that looks like Miror B.

@Cyan:

I can imagine the main character of Colosseum having a stroke if he ever saw that.
-
Shin is a diferent coloring so yes it would be weird if they didn't have diferent coloring in the new stage.
Also I saw red in Lucario and I was like, noooo cmon don't be fire type your typing was ok and yes it is fire fighting now.
Btw new Bunny looked familiar and now I saw on Bulbagarden what it reminded me off, the bunny from Harmoknight(GF rythm game).
Assuming the starter is fire/psychic it seems game freak have to have their fighting/fire fix somehow
-
I don't have a problem with it, it looks cool, I just think it didn't need a type change.
There aren't that many fire/fighting pokemon, its just the whole 3 starters getting that typing in a row that create the issue(which doesn't exist to me).
-
This is really cool to me. All of the designs look cool (except MegaAbsol lol) and it's in battle so what's there to complain about? I don't accept the ermahgerddigivolving, complaint because it's not an actual complaint about the mechanic and why its bad. It's a kneejerk reaction with no real basis. Give me a real reason why "digivolving" (with item use) is a bad thing someone?
-
So the forms/evolutions whatever can only be used in battle?
If so why give Absol wings if them we can't give him fly. -
Gamefreak generally treats Gen III like crap so it's not really that shocking.
-
Cynthia is gonna have a megagarchomp isn't she?
-
Huh, would any of these even be in the pokedex to begin with, if it's only for battle?
-
Cynthia is gonna have a megagarchomp isn't she?
Don't be ridiculous.
MegaCynthia will have a MegaMegaGarchomp.
-
Don't be ridiculous.
MegaCynthia will have a MegaMegaGarchomp.
OH GOD Witney with mega miltank!

I'd love to see a MegaHitmonlee…

If there is a "slide thing" with all the formes like this gen, you probably go to the dex and there is like a normal, shiny, mega, shiny mega of Blaziken for example, they wont have numbers yeah the other forme changes didn't.
Also speculating Charizard Mega forme is dragon/fire type.
-
I read things about mega evolutions, I thought Getsuga was fooling around, then I see the images. I'm speechless…
-
I like the concept. It's kind of Deoxys changing forms, but now it's extended to other pokemon. Should definitely mess around with OU and Uber tiers in competitive battling.
Granted, some of them do annoy me in the sense we won't see actual evolutions (Absol and Mawile), in the sense Absol with Magic Bounce makes less sense than it having Super Luck, and in the sense Ampharos is super cool as it is and giving it dragon type just kind of cheapens what makes him awesome in the first place.
-
I saw something.
And it better not be true.
It probably isn't true.
But if it is true.
I will bawl.[hide][/hide]

I will bawl.Ok, I'm guessing here … That's definitely not true. It just makes no sense and flies in the face against the very idea that 1) Pokemon is meant to cater to everyone, even little noob players and 2) Pokemon doesn't have trouble in terms of hardcore players ... the competitive battling scene is huge and rather intense about it.

On another note… I found this.

Where's the funny images of pokemons with Mega Man helmet?

Yeah, that's how I figured it would be. Makes them just a little bit more disappointing to me really. Not that I WANT all these forms to take up the pokedex, but I always enjoy reading some of the entries, just for how over the top they often are. And these new forms would likely have some very interesting ones. Like Absol growing wings for some impending catastrophic disaster -w-
@Zac Surely not. o.O I mean sure pokemon mentioned death back in Lavender and the pokedex (and you totally killed that one kids Raticate) but I don't think they'd ever let your own die. That'd just be… :sad:
-
How does a shepp becomes a dragon?
-
I doubt I'd even buy the game if it did that, even if I do love Nuzlockes. Maybe if they had it as a extreme hard mode where this happened yet upon game's completion (after E4) you got them all back.
-
Uses thief.
Now who has the mega thing now?:devil: -
Ampharos can go Dragon now? Looks like I might have found my team's Electric type.
Glad that we finally seem to have a Dark gym. -

How would you guys feel if this is how it worked?
! Hi, I'm associated with the development and distribution of Pokémon X and Y. I won't tell you my position or who I work for (Nintendo does outsourcing for various localization purposes). I will not tell far-fetched (no, this is not a hint) rumors or try to get your hopes up. I frequent this board daily and because of that I wanted to clarify some things about the Mega Level fiasco.
! "Mega" is a new method for evolution akin to Pokémon Amie; however, they function as complete opposites to one another. Amie, for example, is a mini-game where you establish bonds with your Pokémon through various means. Once a Pokémon earns enough "Bond XP", they will evolve. Mega, on the other hand, will focus around battling. Pokémon can also earn "Bond XP" through battles. "Battle Bonds" will level separately from "Amie Bonds" and happiness. Battle Bonds will also affect how your Pokémon evolve. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon will have to have sufficient Battle Bond XP, as well as hold a certain item associated with their evolution, similar to item evolutions introduced in Generation IV. The twist, however, is that Pokémon can only Mega evolve by leveling up mid-battle. This ties in with the neat hoard battles.
! For example:
Combusken reaches level 36 while holding its Mega item during a gym battle. It also has sufficient Battle Bond XP to evolve into its branched evolution. You can either let it evolve into its Mega form mid-battle, allow it to evolve into the normal Blaziken after the battle, or choose not to evolve it at all.
! There will be a breadth of new Pokémon evolutions available through the Mega and Amie methods. I won't spoil anything for you, but I will say that there's a Dragon-type Eevee that can be obtained through the Mega Method.
! That's pretty much all I wanted to share. I would have posted a thread, but no one would believe me anyway. Have a good one, /vp/oreons -
It doesn't work like that.
-
-
Because we know Blaziken evolves to that form if he is apparently holding that Blazeknight mega stone or wtv its called.
I also don't believe people who say they work at Nintendo because a lot of people are always saying they work for Nintendo and 100% of the times I've seen its a lie.
The only guy that actually leaked true stuff(the pokebeach guy) is a beta tester.
-
New Gym Leader is not a Dark-type user.
The fact that she's kicking should give it away her specialty.
-
Because we know Blaziken evolves to that form if he is apparently holding that Blazeknight mega stone or wtv its called.
We only KNOW that torchic will be a event poke that has the blazikenite and eventually "evolves" into megablaziken with that item along with mega stone.
Though you could be completely right, I just don't like the idea of a 4th evo. A forme would be even worse to me because Mawile and absol wouldn't get evolutions.
If a single stage or the second stage (of a three stage) pokemon had the option of becoming mega instead of the regular or no evo at all in the case of the single stage poke, then I wouldn't have much of a problem.
-
From what I read the new gym leader specializes in mega evo pokemon

Huh, would any of these even be in the pokedex to begin with, if it's only for battle?
Well, they DID say there were going to be 3 dexes because the roster was so large. We assumed that was because "800 monsters is crazy" or "water/land/air dexes" but… it might be because "8oo monsters and 200 alt forms is crazy".
And since its CG instead of sprite based, its much, MUCH easier to make minor changes and design differences on monsters without affecting their animations at all. While it would be insanely impossible to do with the old sprite monsters, it'd actually be pretty easy to do for most all of them in CG. It could easily encompass quite a lot of monsters.
And if Nino Kuni taught us anything, its that being able to branch a favorite monster along a path that fits better into your team is a GOOD thing.
I saw something.
And it better not be true.
It probably isn't true.
But if it is true.
I will bawl.Blatantly false. Even Monster Rancher ditched that after their second game. No one wants their critters dying after training or breeding them.
-
There are really 3 dexes, they didn't say anything about it being huge though Robby I believe that speculation but it makes sense that it will be huge, Gamefreak talked about having problems with the pokemon transfering from 5gen to this new one, so we should assume they will try to have as many pokemon as possible if they can't make that work in time of the release, they still haven't talked about it and its two months left now.
The fact we get the Kanto starters ingame(almost 100% confirmed) and we are getting Torchic might be telling us that we are getting the starters at some point by even so we can get old starters(if the transfer isn't working).
@serebii:
- Coastal Kalos Pokédex: West Kalos
- Central Kalos Pokédex: Middle
- Mountain Kalos Pokédex: East
-
they didn't say anything about it being huge though Robby
They said there would be more pokemon when the previous gen had the number at 650.
By default at this point, adding even 50 more is a huge amount of monsters total.
-

It probably isn't true.
