Tentacruel Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 What bothers me about having stuff like Contests is that we know they'll be gone in the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Mega Altaria, and it has Pixilate. GG guys, GG. Also, I find it funny how Lopunny goes from being a slut to a lesbian through just a Mega Evolution. As for Salamance, mother of god. It's Mega Pinsir All over again, except this time it's actually threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like the ideas there. Mega Salamence is pretty sweet. Lopunny I like, but didn't expect. Didn't expect Altaria, but I think I love that one, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dom- Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 As much as I live the dragon/fairy typing, I'm not sure about mega altaria's design; there was loads of great fanart with more claws and the clouds becoming thunderclouds...oh well. As for Salamence, love the ability and design, but where are his front legs?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 M-Sal may not have Quick Attack that makes M-Pinsir a threat, but Aerilated STAB Double Edge is going to hurt. Especially if it had collected some Atk boosts off Moxie/D-Dance before Mega'ing. M-Lopun is novel. Normal/Fighting is a nifty coverage combo, especially if they're backed up with Scrappy to penetrate Ghost immunities. The problem with Lopunny is that its good moves as of now are just Jump Kick and Return, maybe Bounce, and if its Atk doesn't buff up significantly it's a bit of a fragile speedster. M-Altaria can be bred Hyper Voice. An physical D-Dance variant can go with Pixilated Return. Is good time to cower. I kinda wish it had Fur Coat to turn it into a behemoth of a physical wall, especially when coupled with Cotton Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Did not expect Mega Lopunny, but cool with it regardless. Even though I hate Alataria and won't use it, having a Dragon/Fairy typing is nice and if anything this'll probably make it a bigger pain in my ass. I think I need to make room for Salamence in my party... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bad post Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I can honestly say I'm with all the Megas that got revealed (quick question though, I thought the scans wouldn't be out until the 12th), two interesting things that Lopunny getting made me think of though: 1. Hoenn Pokemon won't be the only ones getting Megas 2. That Mega evolution image we found a while back is fake Anyways, I'm still saving (and praying) my Mega evo spot for Milotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 So did nobody else see the Shiny Beldum and Metagross? People did see that (albeit on the last page) I'm sure we'll be able to get the mega stone in game as well though. Also calling it now; Salamence's Mega Stone will probs be placed in that room in Meteor Falls were Bagons and TM02 was located in RSE, and it'll be a post-game stone.

Legend Zero Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Metagross/Mega,Mega Latios/Latias, and Mega Salamence, all look like spaceships to me. Hopefully this means we can do more with the spaceship in Mossdeep, or at least looks like a nice detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 As for Salamence, love the ability and design, but where are his front legs?! Just about where they always are. They are probably just the same as his hind legs without the red line bit at the top, you just can't see that. Although I'm fine with their non-mega forms in almost every way, looks way too silly and I'm gonna say the same about Altaria, Loppuny is the only one I like but probably still won't use it. That is if I'm still getting the game, I might just be bothered to only use the starter's and whatever else may just be given to me like Lucario was, most especially Sceptile. Just like with XY.

Airride Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Lopunny? ...Does this mean we can have Pokemon in future generations in ORAS? (Besides Evos, since Dusknoir's already Confirmed, and Gallade, Froslass, and such are basically confirmed because of that [Which HGSS only had the Evos that evolved via moves, Dusknoir evolves by an ITEM, so...]) ...Also the contest Idol is cute as frick, but I wanted her to be the winnona Redesign (Since they both used an altaria), but oh well, I guess. Which makes me think, since she has an altaria; Do you think we'll be able to use Megas in Contests? Probably not, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Lopunny's ability will help it a lot I imagine. As for Altaria....Kinda was hoping for a super defensive Mega to be honest. It might still be, but the ability makes it seem more offensive. Pixilate is actually pretty good on a defensive pokemon, just look at Sylveon. It lets you hit HARD thanks to its extra boost and defensive pokemon that still hit really hard is really nice. As is the fact that you don't even need to use your Dragon STAB since Fairy covers the one type Dragon is good against anyway. As much as I live the dragon/fairy typing, I'm not sure about mega altaria's design; there was loads of great fanart with more claws and the clouds becoming thunderclouds...oh well. As for Salamence, love the ability and design, but where are his front legs?! They look like they tuck into the front of its body. As I said, that would be my one problem if any with the design, but assuming thats true I really like it. M-Sal may not have Quick Attack that makes M-Pinsir a threat, but Aerilated STAB Double Edge is going to hurt. Especially if it had collected some Atk boosts off Moxie/D-Dance before Mega'ing. M-Lopun is novel. Normal/Fighting is a nifty coverage combo, especially if they're backed up with Scrappy to penetrate Ghost immunities. The problem with Lopunny is that its good moves as of now are just Jump Kick and Return, maybe Bounce, and if its Atk doesn't buff up significantly it's a bit of a fragile speedster. M-Altaria can be bred Hyper Voice. An physical D-Dance variant can go with Pixilated Return. Is good time to cower. I kinda wish it had Fur Coat to turn it into a behemoth of a physical wall, especially when coupled with Cotton Guard. Lopun will likely have most of its 100 points dump into ATK, my guess somewhere around 50. And Jump Kick is actually a fine move since moves with 100 power are really good, just its worse than High Jump. It is also worth noting though that with Scrappy Ghosts can't come in to ruin your Jump Kicks. Fur Coat would have been a really fitting ability, but I'm cool with the ability to have a defensive pokemon just hit really hard. I can honestly say I'm with all the Megas that got revealed (quick question though, I thought the scans wouldn't be out until the 12th), two interesting things that Lopunny getting made me think of though: 1. Hoenn Pokemon won't be the only ones getting Megas 2. That Mega evolution image we found a while back is fake Anyways, I'm still saving (and praying) my Mega evo spot for Milotic Glad to see I'm not the only one that caught that. Yea, that makes things pretty interesting with who else might Mega. Lopunny? ...Does this mean we can have Pokemon in future generations in ORAS?

Which makes me think, since she has an altaria; Do you think we'll be able to use Megas in Contests? Probably not, but... I think it could still go either way at this point. Remember, we didn't get 90% of the Mega Stones until after the main game so it doesn't mean a TON if they have Mega Stones. Megas were said to only be useable in Battle, so my guess is no.

Darj Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Altaria and its Dragon/Fairy typing is interesting. Hopefully Altaria will have access to moves like Double Edge or Body Slam to take advantage of Pixilate, but even if it doesn't, Return and Secret Power might be good alternatives. I find funny how long ago I "made" an alternate evolution for male Buneary with its type changed to Fight, and now we get a Mega-Lopunny who gains Fight type. And what the hell happened to Salamence?

It gets hyper voice as an egg move and Return is always good. The two moves you mention it could be taught WAY back in FR/LG. Personally, I see her as a much more defensive pokemon thanks to its amazing defensive type and its base form already being defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdom Xathers Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 And what the hell happened to Salamence? I think I know why it looks like SalaMega lost its front legs: it has them tucked in, behind those shoulder guard-looking protrusions. Probably so that it can be more aerodynamic while in flight.

Personally, I see her as a much more defensive pokemon thanks to its amazing defensive type and its base form already being defensive. I agree that it looks more like a defensive Pokemon, and I would have preferred a defensive ability instead, but since it got Pixilate I hope it gets the moves to make well use of it. Although it would be amusing to trade an Altaria with Double-Edge/Body Slam back from FR/LG to AS/OR, but I don't know if it is even possible. I think I know why it looks like SalaMega lost its front legs: it has them tucked in, behind those shoulder guard-looking protrusions. Probably so that it can be more aerodynamic while in flight. Yeah, I did notice the front legs, and with such body it looks like it should be easier for Salamence to fly, but still, it doesn't justify the design of the wings that resemble a spaceship/UFO.

Mutant Monster RAEG-HAPYP Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Meh, Mega Salamence isn't as cool as I thought it would be despite Salamence is my favorite Pokemon. It could be worse, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 To be honest I was hoping for an ability like Fur Coat on Altaria, but I'm fine with this ability as long as they do well with the stats. Now, they have two of the dragons, so now they HAVE to make Flygon Mega. Or that would just be a massive troll move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 So Altaria's just going to be a tank. I guess the question now is if they give it more of an Atk boost or SpA boost Salamence will probably get a big speed boost from the look of its design. STAB Double Edge is going to be a pain. And it still has Intimidate before mega evolving just to f*** with you. Still don't care about Lopunny. Also Icicle Crash Pikachu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchi Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Pokébeach posted some more info: Apparently, Mega Altaria gets an ATK boost (hooray for Dragon Dance'd Pixilated Returns!). That, however, does NOT mean she'll become a pure hyper-offensive Poké; she still might get some investment on her defenses as well. Mega Lopunny's ATK and S.ATK are increased (Mind you - she still could receive a boost in SPD for all we know). Also, according to Serebii, Lopunny now learns High Jump Kick. With it, a good Normal STAB and the plethora of moves she got to learn since Gen IV - such as Drain Punch, the Elemental Punches, Fake Out, not to mention her support pool (which inlcudes Baton Pass and a bunch of boosting moves), she has potential to become a remarkable powerhouse, at least in the lower tiers; you could even try to abuse the ridiculously large Special movepool Normal-Types like her tend to get! And we still have the Move Tutors that will probably come wit the new games, so don't go trashing her before knowing everything this badass cutie can do! Mega Salamance gets a boost in DEF to compensate for the loss of Intimidate, but I could bet its SPD will be raised as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
