Yeah, I've heard about that.
Also, battling Korrina for the Mega Ring gave me an idea:
Since Korrina has a Mega Glove and [spoiler]Diantha has a Mega Necklace, the RP characters don't necessarily need to have rings. The only idea I have atm is a helmet/shroud version.
Ooh, that is a good point.
In my idea, Siren would have the Mega Shroud/helm.
Ren will gave a Mega Cane.
Current Team: Ereth the male Chesnaught, Cuyahoga the female Charmeleon, Phantra the female Doublade, Sharptooth the female Tyrunt, Barnacle Boy the male Binacle, Saxton the male Eevee
Third gym wasn't as much trouble as second. Partially thanks to Phantra.
Phantra: -as Hawlucha tries in vain to hit her- Um... You might want to try another move... ^;
Got my Mega Ring and free Lucario w/ Lucarionite from Korinna. His name is Duke. :3
Also, Ereth and Phantra evolved. Yay~
Ereth: - Blinks- I feel heavy.
And that's all for today.
@Tagg: 3MAKES then this == 3 * 4 = 12 = 6 * 2 = [spoiler]6MAKES CONFIRMED! :p
In other news, thanks to the fact that the ROMs are not being decrypted yet, people are gathering the new data the old-fashioned and awesome way. Tangent actually is contributing some info for the Veekun database.
Also, for those doing Amie, it seems the dev team thinks of everything, but! Being Slugma is SUFFERING
pi either got mega mask, mega coat, or mega sword
On that note, eevee's posted: http://veekun.com/forums/1/threads/129
A Mega Sword would probably be a bad idea since the mega rings aren't really supposed to be weapons themselves.
I get the feeling that Gen VI is going to have quite a few Urban Legends of Zelda since straight data mining is right out.
Oh, regarding the comment earlier Straw made on Mega Evolutions not being Vow-based...
I just got to the point in the game where it was explained and it seems like you do need some sort of friendship between the user and the Pokemon it's being used on after all. (And the Lucario you first use it on does seem to have some interest in you.) Other people may or may not have made note of this already, though.
I still think Straw's idea of Shadowed Mega Evos might be able to work with this, but it would probably mean the Shadows' relationships with their trainers might get weirder.
And on another note, how are we planning on having all or a majority of our PCs get Mega Stones anyway?
Is there particular evidence that they're one of a kind?
Sorry, I misspoke. I'm fairly certain there's more than one type of each Mega Stone. What I meant to ask was about Mega Rings. They seem rare enough that I'm unsure if they could be distributed en masse, so I'm wondering how we're going to be getting those. (I don't doubt that it isn't possible for the J-Team to eventually all get one, just iffy about how to justify it if we do try and go the en masse route.)
I was wondering the same, Crow. Don't know the answer yet, though...
Instead of getting them en-masse we can gradually work them into the story, just like the Armbands. First one or two, then another one or two but for another reason, then another one or two given a plot element of the moment, so and so, etc. That makes it much easier to justify and makes sure that we can get the ones we need, for the most part, instead of getting into a situation where for example we'd have 10 Lucarios but only 2 Lucarioites, or something similar.
There's no reason why we all have to get Mega Rings "right nao" (speaking in the timescale of Kalos arc), and Megas are not storyline-needed at all to my knowledge (and even if they were, we are not the PCs of the games, and our mons are good enough on their own).
Of course, as an alternatively and if it s true that we are going with Shadowified Megas for the finale, we can pin the mass availability of Rings on some random Cipher (or a splinter / double agent) plan for world domination.
There's definitely more than one of each Mega Stone; there are at least three Lucarionites confirmed to exist. Not sure how to justify Mega Insert-Article-Of-Clothing-Heres, though.
Will probably be a bit before I reach that stage in the game, but will try to pay attention when I get there.
I admit I'm kinda uncomfortable with Shadow Megas as a concept right now; if there is a friendship component to ME at all, then it seems kinda antithetical to the abused handling of a Shadow mon.
Yeah, Mega stones should be easy to get, it's the Key Stones that are the hard part.
And kinda agree with Tangent.
The events at the Tower of Mastery seem to imply that a strong bond is a vital part of Mega Evolution. Even the Team Flare leader [spoiler]Lysandre seems to have a bond with his Pokémon, and is far more a Well Intentioned Extremist than most other team leaders. Shauna even points this out after that particular battle.
So I think that if someone tried it on a Shadow, nothing would happen, as the "bond" that releases the Pokémon's latent power is not there.
If the Pokemon had an existing bond with that trainer though, I think it might work, even if they were Shadow. Though, some random Charizard wouldn't work.
"Shadow" kinda means by definition any bond doesn't exist, though. If they had a bond, they'd be Purified, right?
Straw: Depending on what you mean, I may or may not disagree. If you mean they once had a bond, but don't necessarily have one now, I'd disagree. If they have a bond now, regardless of whether they had one earlier, then I'd say it could work.
If we do go that route, assuming it wouldn't be massively OOC, though, if this is the case, I'd really like to see it explored more because it would mean that on some level the Ciphers and their Pokemon do care about each other. Though it would be kinda weird.
Um... Anyone know where to find the guy who gives you a Dusk Stone on Route 13?
Apparently there's a backpacker in the game who gives you as a gift a [spoiler]moai/tiki-like "souvenir" with indications that it comes from a place described as [spoiler]a "new faraway region". So we might be getting hints of you-know-what-confirmed, or of something completely different.
[spoiler]My fave comment in the /b/oards about this so far: "Please let it be Pokeaustralia"
