Still mind blowing though.'Cept I found this rather amusing-Baby Kanga from the anime: Kangaskahn with Baby Kanga - Note the ears of the later:The one in X/Y is much different.I swear to god, MegaAbsol reminds me of something, but I don't know what.Alicorn Twilight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Finally, Baby Kanghaskan gets a purpose. I approve. If not an evolution, than I hope we get something like Mega Farfetch'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Am I the only one who feels these mega forms are ripped from digimon? You have your basic three evolutions, rookie, champion and ultimate in digimon terms. Then everyone thinks they can't get stronger and BANG! You add one more level of power which is called "mega" in both digimon and pokemon. Furthermore to reach this mega form pokemon require a specific held item just like digimon needed a specific crest.

Grunt Issun Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 So, it's ripping off from Digimon because they wanted to find a way to make Pokemon stronger without breaking the 2 evolution rule? So, what you're saying is, they're not allowed to make Full Potential Forms a thing, because that's the same thing that Digimon did. I mean, you could say that Super Saiyan 3 was the same way, then. Everyone thought Super Saiyan 2 was the highest form possible, but then Goku was like "Look what I can do now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Actually, in Japan (where Pokemon comes from), it goes Baby > Child > Adult > Perfect > Ultimate. No Mega. I'm sorry if we're discussing the english version of both pokemon and digimon. Mis-translation is irrelevant to what I'm trying to say.

Everyone thought Super Saiyan 2 was the highest form possible, but then Goku was like "Look what I can do now." I'm saying they are being lazy. Instead of adding actual evolutions they add a "Mega" infront of the name and boost some stats and possibly change their abilities. I wish Nintendo had added a full evolutionary level instead of giving pokemon an art redesign and a cheap "form" change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Except it's called Mega in both Japanese and English. If it were something like Ultimate Evolution in Japanese and Mega Evolution in English, I'd see your point. But just because they use the term Mega doesn't make it ripping of Digimon. Media where characters power up through transformation always have super powered forms, like how Issun pointed out DBZ. Saying Mega Evolution copies Digimon is just silly, as there's no way Digimon itself did it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'm not saying pokemon cant power up through transformations? If I was I'd be hating on the entire evolution method. Not just these lazy mega forms.

Shradow Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 How is it lazy? It's not like these took any more or less effort than normal evolutions. (I'm looking at you, Grimer>Muk.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Probably not. It's a battle form, so I imagine it's only for battle. It could be that the item can ONLY activate during battle. As in, the item physically doesn't work. Like how choice items don't affect a Pokemon's ability to use Surf and then Fly outside of battle. Or maybe the Mega forms strain their bodies to use, so they can only be used during battle, when it's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I figured you just made a typo and left out the 2. And upon reading, what I've found says the shiny Creation Trio will be available for download to B/W/B2/W2 during certain times, like they did the shiny Legendary Beasts. Not sure where someone read that they were pre-order bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Shradow a little late to the party on those. Serebii mentioned nothing on preorder bonus. And I was never asked for the BW2 supposed pre-order bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
