Also, there's the possibility the new rollerskating gym leader might be a dark type gym leader based on her name. We might finally have a dark type gym leader.

I also can't help but wonder how that hair of hers works, I mean, look at that giant ponytail. Doesn't it look like it would be kind of heavy?

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I'm more excited about how the metagame will change...

78

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Indeed!

<Whatchu lookin at, PUNK?>

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

The metagame must be in delicious tears meme right now because of Blaziken / Megablaziken. Should be fun to watch.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

My guess is that the metagame will become even more exclusionary than it already is (particularly with Fairy possibly displacing Ice as dragon slayers).

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

You know, I can imagine Yin getting super paranoid over his new MegaAbsol form.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Serebii's got some more info:

Following yesterdays reveal of the new Pokémon, and the Mega Evolutions, some clear images have surfaced which showcase some of these Pokémon in battle. It also provides a few further bits of information.

First, Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they are holding a Mega Stone. It's not yet known whether the Mega Stone is one specific item, or a separate one such as the Blazikenite that the event Torchic holds. It also confirms that Mega Evolutions are temporary in battle.
It confirms that not all Pokémon will have Mega Evolutions. The Master Tower has a connection to Mega Evolutions

It also confirms stat increases, stating that MegaLucario's Attack is higher. MegaAbsol has increased Attack & Speed. Finally, it also confirms that Super Training will increase Pokémon's "Kiso" Points. The translation of it indicates that this may be what we call EVs
05:33: Next month's CoroCoro to feature new Pokémon, new Mega Evolutions and type chart featuring the Fairy-type

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Yay, new type chart in a month~

And sounds like there's going to almost definitely an in-game reason for Mega Evolutions, so we hopefully shouldn't need to come up with one ourselves.

Clearer pic of MegaAmpharos and Absol

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

...That Absol has wings!

Also is it just me or the Megaevos so far look like they are designed to appeal to people who like gijinkas and fursonas?

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I can see the latter, not so much the former.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Oh, and just realized there's apparently a new ability called Cheek Pouches. Wonder what's up with that/ Was going to guess Pachirisu might be getting it too, but it already has 2 normal abilities. Maybe Emolga might, though.

And I had the same image up when I pulled up Tagg's image. :P

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I imagine RP!DS' first reaction to learning about the Mega form essentially being sort of a Super Mode will be an Imagine Spot of a Pokémon invoking a Magical Girl-esque Transformation Sequence to change into their new form. :P

(also, judging from the Memetic Mutation entry on X and Y's YMMV page, I'm not the only one who looked at Absol's mega form and thought "Alicorn!Absol" :P)

Also, apparently we can keep track of our Pokémon's EVs now! Yay! This'll make things so much easier, and I won't have to make documents on Word to keep track! Hopefully there will also be an easy way to obtain the EV reducing berries.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Huh, so looks like you do need specific items for Mega Evolution. Might mean they'll be introducing more Mega Evolutions for Pokemon of previous generations further down the line. Though this does also seem to mean Mawile and Absol probably won't be getting proper evos at any point in the future which could be good or bad.

Super Training sounds interesting and the Effort-O-Meter sounds helpful, even if I'm not going to be doing any extensive EV Training.

Guessing from the badge design, I'm suspecting Korinna will be a Fighting-type Gym Leader.

Cheek Pouch's effect sounds interesting as well.

And I love that Nuzzle somehow does damage.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I've started to like those Mega Evolutions, though there aren't really any that I really want to use from the ones we know, except maybe Ampharos, but that's because I liked it already and it's Mega form only gave it hair =P

93

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

My opinion on the Mega evolutions boils down to this:

".......Why?"

I don't particularly dislike them, but they just seem kind of pointless. Particularly the ones for Blaziken and Lucario, which are powerful enough as it is. Hopefully it won't just act as a temporary additional evo.

Really I'd rather have new evolutions for some mons that could use them instead of Super Modes for mons that IMO are pretty good already.

94

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Mareep warp evolve to!

95

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I love that animation, good memories =P

Makes me want to play the Digimon Adventure game for PSP that never came to the ocident but eh, that's off-topic.

96

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

It occurs to me that at least some non-final stages will probably get Mega forms.

Why?

Rule of Pikachu. No way the anime is gonna leave the mouse out of the party.

Sanity is precious; use it sparingly.

97

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Huh. If so, I hope at least Mienfoo gets a Megaform

I can actually see how it is going to come around if they go with Mega Pikachu. It will happen in a movie (18? 19? 20?) when Pikachu is about to lose about a very powerful opponent. Then Ash talks about the power of friendship and stuff (or even better, he dies again) and Pikachu goes Mega. Crushes opponent, returns to being Normal Pikachu and... that's it.

And the event is never addressed again. Even less in the anime.

Why?

Because, obviously, they're going to turn Charizard into the team's main Mega.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

Okay, now that more info is known, my thoughts...

While I'm liking the idea of certain mons having "super modes", and quite like most of the Mega forms aesthetically (Mega!Ampharos is kinda lazy but makes up for it by being a dragon-sheep, while Mega!Absol looks cool but is held back by not being Dark/Flying) I can't help but feel we would be better off with actual new evolutions. I mean, Blaziken and Lucario are already crazy powerful, they don't need more. And a permanent evo would be better for Absol and Mawile. Ampharos... Could have just been retyped, if anything.

But regardless, I'm still excited to unlock SUPAH MODEZ for my mons. (Though the Mega Stone for Blaziken is event-only? Better hope they find a way for Pokecheck to still work...)

My girlfriend is a Volcarona, your argument is invalid.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I want Golurk to have a Mega Evolution. I want it so bad.

Re: X/Y Spoilers topic

I wonder what happens if a Pokémon uses an item stealing move on a Pokémon in Mega-form?
