Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

[Tentacruel]

As far as we know, every single Mega Stone can be found in game, other than Blazikenite.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH,

 

I thought it was just one item. 

[bury the year]

The problem is some pokemon that already have 3 evolutions still need further upgrades to be good.

No Pokemon /needs/ to be good. I don't competitively battle, but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other ways to give a Pokemon new options than having to resort to something like this.

With that said, I'm sure they're going to make others promotional, e.g. the other Hoenn starters. Who knows, maybe Nintendo will make new Mega Evolutions periodically available via wireless download.

I don't get the problem with the Megas. It's the same thing as a lot of "problems" people find in games. It's an optional thing, you don't HAVE to do it.

 

Though, I do wish Mawile could get a regular evolution, but it's been three Gens, I'll take what I can get.

And, I get the feeling there will be some kind of side-quest like thing for the Mega Stones.

I'm just gonna say that there is very little reason to make a Pokemon that is entirely outclassed. Even flavor doesn't justify it. Look at Castform, Luvdisc, Spinda, and pokemon like that.

 

They have no niche's, there is no reason for them to be made purposefully bad, yet that's what happened. No Pokemon should have no niche.

[Shradow]

And it's not like this is the first big addition to evolution that we've had.

 

Also, I think Therrion copied my avi/sig.

If 1 is event only, its a fair guess a handful will be. My money is one all the starters getting this treatment.

Yes, no pokemon needs to be good. But if they (Game Freak) want to help give some love to past pokemon they are limited by their their stats. Give them all the moves you want, but the biggest limit on a pokemon is its Base Stats.  Mega Forms allows them to give pokemon who could never be made better a way to be made better.

The article is about MTG cards, but the basic ideas can be used in most games. It is a VERY good read to see why games have pieces that are clearly worse than others.

[The Warden]

One thing that bugs me about MegaAbsol: It lost Super Luck. I know Magic Bounce has its uses in competitive, well, on walls in any case, but I don't play it, so losing such a valuable offensive ability is a bit grating.

[Airride]

If Mawile is getting a super evo, I demand Sableye to get one too.

 

But overall, on Mega Evolution...I don't care for it. It just seems kind of silly to me, and I don't like how they didn't just give some of them Evolutions (Mawile, Absol, etc). Unless anything comes along that I like, I won't really have too much of an opinion on it. If some people like it, good for them, but it isn't for me, for now.

[CMRenji]

I could see a Mega Sabeleye with Prankster and more Attack and Special Defense.

 

And the only thing I want for Christmas is Mega Houndoom.

...So am I the only one who noticed the riff during the group evolution and instantly thought of Power Rangers?

[Shradow]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[Astro Dude]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH,

 

I thought it was just one item. 

 

Me too. It would be a pain for it to be destroyed after one use.

[Shradow]

Also, with the whole Parental Bond ability that Mega Kangaskhan has, it makes any move hit twice (along with saying "you hit 2 times" like a multi-hit move). Now, if it used a multi-hit move, would that mean it could hit up to 10 times with it?

Definetly not the only one. Now I'm going to name my Lucario Tommy.

[Cin]

All of the Pokemon look cooler in Mega forms....apart from Mewtwo, which looks worse. Poor thing.

 

Renji you and me both want the same thing for Christmas.

[~British Soul~]

MegaMawile will have higher Defence and Special Defence.

I agree, the rest of the mega pokemon looked badass, except Mewtwo the jam.

[Shradow]

It thhink Mega Mewtwo is pretty cool. Though maybe it's because I think normal Mewtwo looks a bit odd in places.

Bit late to the party, Arm. Still mind blowing though.

[Northern Sage]

I swear to god, MegaAbsol reminds me of something, but I don't know what.

Clear shot of it:

[Therrion]

Also, I think Therrion copied my avi/sig.

 

Had it first/same time as you AKA As soon as MegaEvolution (and Lucaromega, what I dub his new form) was announced and made public.

 

Anywho, I dig the Mega Evolutions. Just feel as though it is unfair if EVERY other starter from here on out doesn't get one. Blaziken wasn't bad enough to need one, so if they are only giving it to one, then they should've chosen a weaker one. Blaziken, however, is badass and deserves it though. Same with Lucario and Absol.

[Yosuke-kun]

Know what would be great? Giving Magikarp a Mega form. Yeah just completely skip over Gyrados and go to MegaMagikarp. It'd be the most badass thing ever to grace the world of Pokemon. Admit it.

 

In all seriousness, I'm thinking one of the next announced one's will be MegaUrsaring and MegaTyranitar. Tyranitar is probably the more obvious choice, but for some reason I'm feeling Ursaring should get a Mega form. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave one to all the starters too. Oh, and a MegaVileplume would be pretty cool.

[Aerion Brightflame]

I can see all the starters this gen getting a mega form.

 

If one of the Gym Leaders is going to essentially introduce this mechanic in game, it makes sense for one pokemon you are forced to have to be able to take advantage of it.

[Grunt Issun]

One problem with that, dude.

Mega forms don't get new moves, at least as far as we can tell.

So, basically, it'd still suck.

[Yosuke-kun]

Hey, I'm not saying it'd be strong, just badass .3.

 

Yes, every starter will probably get a Mega form. They prolly just showed Blaziken first because he's the general favorite of all the starters (and the strongest).
