Ass. I'm actually less excited about XY now.

>>26383
But don't you want a Mega Charizard?

>>26380
>"upgrades" are bigger feathers, scarfs, and ribbons
Lame.

>>26384

I'm probably the most optimistic person on this board. As such I have high hopes that not every mega will be as terrible as these. Fabio Ampharos and twintails Mawile aren't so bad but ugh the rest. Does MegaAbsol seriously have one black wing and one white wing?

>>26386
I think it's just dark because it's behind it.
Shading.
Don't you like how they all have cool capes/scarves
I bet Mega Lucario looks awesome standing in the wind making a dramatic pose.

>>26380
Most of the new pokemon aside from starters have been pretty good so something needed to go downhill.

>>26387
Looks like they were designed by a bunch of teenagers from DeviantArt.

Best update ever. I wish most poke will have that form and not just starters + a handful of iconic ones.

Hahaha, I just realized that the only thing I've really hated about XY from the start was MegaMewtwo. I've hated mega evolution since BEFORE IT WAS A THING.

But why don't we talk about good things. Nice things. Like this Gogoat prevo that looks just like that one old drawing, or this adorable Chubbychu.

>>26388
maybe now there will actually be dungeons and interesting puzzels and gyms again... LOOOOOOOOOOOL

Interested to see how far they take these Mega Digi... Pokemans and how they are unleashed and how they will play out in the card game. (tier 4 evolutions confirmed?)

Some Pokemon will now have "Mega" forms which they achieve through a new mechanic called "Mega Evolution." CoroCoro shows Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Mega Absol, Mega Mawile, Mega Ampharos, and the previously-revealed Mega Mewtwo. They are each of slightly different heights and weights than their normal forms, feature new Abilties, and can be different types.

A Torchic will be distributed over Wi-Fi from October 12th to January 15th, which can eventually evolve into Mega Blaziken. It comes with a new hold item called "Blazikenite" and will need to use a "Mega Stone." These are perhaps the item mechanics that allow a Pokemon to eventually achieve its mega form (our source had originally stated that Mewtwo needs items to achieve its new "formes").

Each of the revealed Mega Pokemon have different Abilities than usual: Mega Blaziken has Speed Boost, Mega Lucario has Adaptability, Mega Absol has Magic Bounce, Mega Mawile has Huge Power, Mega Ampharos has Mold Breaker, and Mega Mewtwo has Insomnia.

Mega Ampharos is now Electric/Dragon. Mawile has been retyped to Steel/Fairy, as has its Mega form.

The term "Mega Evolution" was first trademarked back in February.
A new female Gym Leader named Koruni knows all about Mega Evolutions.

Gogoat has a pre-evolution named Meikuru, who is 0.9m and 31.0kg.
Dedenne, the Antenna Pokemon, is an Electric/Fairy type. Its abilities are Pick Up or a new ability called Cheek Pouches. It is 0.2m and 2.2kg.

Horubii, the Digging Pokemon, is a Normal-type. Like Dedenne it also has the abilities Pick Up or Cheek Pouches. It is 0.4m and 5.0kg.
The Super Training area is seen in the scan of the new Kalos Pokemon.

>>26389
They really really do. Especially Absol and Lucario.

>>26393
>Mega Mewtwo has Insomnia
So it's a downgrade...

>>26380

Okay these are stupid and dumb and the idea of a four stage evolutionary family makes me angry in ways I had not thought possible.

...That said I am excited as fucking shit for an evolution for Mawile

>>26391
Pikachu is disgustingly overexposed, but I actually like this one. Kinda looks like a babby Raichu, and infinitely better than any of the previous Pikaclones aside from Pachirisu. I'm surprised how consistently good the new Pokemon designs are.

>>26391
Horubii is pretty nice. Cuter than Buneary yet not furrybait like Lopunny.

>>26395
They're not four stages, looks like it's going to be a reversible thing actually.

>>26396

It's definitely a lot derpier than any of the previous Pikachu rip-offs which I think really works in its favour since it makes it seem more naturally cute as opposed to the sort of manufactured cuteness you see in your Pachirisus or Plusle/Minuns.

Little guy looks kind of like he'd be prone to tripping over onto his back and not being able to get back up...

>>26398

I'm still a little wary...That seems like too much of a technicality to me

>>26399
The way I see it Mega is like the various Formes guys like Giratina, Shaymin, Deoxys, and Rotom get. It's possible the changes may not necessarily make them better than their original versions, just more useful in certain circumstances.

At first I was hesitant of the mega evolutions but if there's one for most every Pokemon I think I'd be okay with it.

>>26393
Who knew putting on a wig or two conferred draconic power?

So it turns out mega evolution is a temporary in-battle thing caused by holding a certain item. In other words...
They're just new formes. Specifically, Giratina style formes.

Wake me up for next month's 2coro.

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Meg…

>>26404
That seems reasonable.
That means you can only use one mega in official Play! Pokémon play, since only one hold item is allowed, but also you have to decide if you really want to use a Mega in other play because leftovers are boss.

>>26405

Huh. Well I guess that isn't so bad then. Now they just need to release some with good designs and I'd be fine with the entire thing.

>>26404
That's a pretty fun way to do things... slows up the battle startup a lot though. And I'm sure Megastones are either going to be Pokemon specific or at the least very exclusive and hard to obtain for more casual fans.
Cautious optimism for me.

[spoiler]Hope another GTS system erects itself for this game so I don't have to waste days on days breeding and all that shit

Here's hoping Beedrill and Kingler get a Mega Evolution since they're two of my favorites, but they just can't keep up with the power creep...

See, the billowy parts make everything more dramatic.

>>26407

Well, I am just hoping this makes Mawile a more useful pokemon in battles. Because lord knows I loves me some Mawile but they are not good for battling...

>>26410
Same deal with Absol. Fans have been craving a battle-ready Absol for years.

>>26380
I...really hate how these look and the whole idea behind them. Hope they wont be necessary.

I just dont think this gens for me. Not really hyped for any of the new features or overall Pokemon designs.

Perhaps the megas will be distributed enough that every playable Pokemon in Smash 4 will have a mega form as their Final Smash.

It is a Mega form... it gains the Parental Bond ability which lets its attacks hit twice

>>26416

Hahahaha well I did ask for simpler designs I guess.

>>26416
Cute. I was hoping the babby could've been a pre-evo or something but this is kind of neat too I guess.

>yfw Mega Evolutions were created to expand on an original Pokemon needing a boost without giving it an evolution
>this means that fans of the original Pokemon aren't upset that it's ruined, and the Pokemon gets a pseudo-evolution
>we'll never have a situation like Rhyperior again

>>26422
But then we won't have any mediocre-but-not-terrible Magmortars to redeem beyond-shitty Magmars.

>Mega Evolutions apparently exclusive to this region and are a rare phenomena (lol, we'll see how long that lasts)
>Not every Pokemon has a Mega Evolution (Fair enough)
>Each Mega Evolution Pokemon has to have a specific Mega Stone (... the fuck)
>These stones are hidden throughout the region (Oh neat,, treasure hu-)
>Blazikenite, Blazikens Mega Stone, can not be found in game and is only available with the exclusive Speed Boost Torchic on Wifi giveaway (More exclusives... are you fucking shitting me? Really? REALLY?)

>>26423
Ya, I'm not sure why they picked already halfway decent Pokes to give these to al least from what we've seen thus far. Lucario and Blaziken where pretty average and Absol... eh. Mawile really did need one though, and Mewtwo was already pretty damn strong...

Really hoping they focus on the "low tier" mons for these, but knowing them, they probably will not.
I long for the day when I can use shit like Farfetch'd and Victrybell's in fights and not get my shit stomped.
Any other game they would have gotten stat increases and more competitive move pools, but not here. Mega Evolutions IS something though and I'm really hoping they make good calls on who to give them to.

>>26425

That's probably for the best given how overpowered Blaziken was as of 5th gen.

I'm also kind of perplexed as to why they decided to give mega forms to Mawile and Absol rather than just giving them both new evolutions. With Ampharos or Mewtwo it makes mroe sense as they're either fully evolved or legendary but Mawile and Absol are both underpoweered non-evolvers in desperate need of a power boost.

>>26422
I wish some of these Pokemon like Mawile got actual evolutions instead of just Mega alts.

Personally I'd love to see this cute little guy get an evo that turns it into a feathered serpent creature or something. Or Farfetch'd becoming something so it stops sucking.

>>26432
Nope; instead it'll just be more already decent Pokemon.
Expect the next two Megas revealed to be Garchomp and Salamance.

>>26425
>Exclusive giveaway bullshit.
The only thing I really truly hate about this series.

Khangaskhan's getting a mega form that makes its baby come out of its pouch and KICK ASS

Here's a Mega trailer they showed at the closing ceremony.
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Thr…

>>26436
>abloblobloo I have to go uotside or have friends this is unfair to muh metagame

>>26445
It's the principle, retard. And not everybody has the time or money to go to all these events anyway. Remember when Celebi was only accessible for a single month to people in New York?

>>26446
It's somewhat ok when you have maybe one or two special things for people like Mew or whatnot; but when you've got 10+ super exclusive characters, PLUS items floating around, that rustles my jammies.
I don't know what the 3DS's wireless capabilities are, but if they're the same as the DS's, even finding a compatible hotspot can be a pain in the ass.

There's so many Legendaries and special Pokemon that I almost want a game with no Legendaries or special Pokemon in it, but that'd probably not go over well at all.

>>26448
Eh, there will always be a few "Title" Legendaries.
One of the main thing that pisses me off about this distribution nonsense is that it ruins what could have been an amazing narrative had the Pokemon been included from default.

For instance, Team Plasma revived and equipped Genesect; How awesome would it be to go into a secret lab and see the thing go on a rampage then storm off or whatever it did? There's so much flavor behind that little Pokedex entry and it's just squandered for the sake of Game Freak waving its cock about for no other reason than to say it's super secret special.

If they did more "content patches" like they did with Celebi, than I'm all for it; the short time the Pokemon are distributed over then becomes a major point of aggravation.

All in all, thank god for those GTS hacks.

>>26445
Yeah I don't usually have the means for that. Sorry.
