So there are some scans from Corocoro that got leaked early today that confirm MEGA DIANCIE SCEPTILE AND SWAPMERT! Everyone's type remains the same aside from Sceptile, which is now Grass/Dragon with the ability Lightningrod, Mega Swampert gets Swift Swim, and Mega Diancie stays the same basically outside of the obvious stat buff from Mega form and a redesign, discuss...

im kinda iffy on the designs ngl. but sceptile getting dragon is interesting
-
I love Mega Sceptile, I'd go as far as to say my favourite mega so far, also an awesome typing giving it 4x resists to Water & Grass. Mega Swampert is one that I don't like so much atm, but I bet I'll come to love it. Diancie's awesome too, but a very random thing to give a mega xD

Mega Swampert looking blench as, wooahh
-
LIGHTNING ROD? That bloody chicken gets speed boost and Sceptile gets LIGHTNING ROD!? It cant even switch into electric attacks as it wont have evolved yet, what kind of joke is this.
-
Brendan's redesign scares me
It makes me want to cry
(but Mega Sceptile <3333
Not gonna box my Treecko anymore)

And he gave you an OBJECTION pose to boot. XD
Looking good, the Megas look good, Swampert seems to of taken the same stuff Knuckles took for Sonic Boom. May looks cute in her new get up, though would of prefered a bandana over a headband but meh. The teams have certainly gotten the biggest overhaul, I can't seem the more familiar Shelly among them.
Still several years till Diamond and Pearl get the same lovely treatment? Rats. Oh well, these will easily kill the time, especially when we get our remake Battle Frontier (I just hope the Frontier Brains don't get as much as an overhaul like the teams. I'd like new-ish outfits for Anabel and Greta, but not complete character redesigns... T.T)

And a mega bangle to boot? I'm getting a very Apollo Justice vibe over here. Oh wow look at his jacket flowing majestically in the wind
Swift Swim Swampert (heh, alliteration) looks pretty strong as well. Should be fun to mess around with. Depending on what sort of stats he gets, he can potentially be in my main pool of Pokemon. I guess they'll be an update for Pokemon X/Y to allow for new mega evolutions.
I'm not sold on the character redesigns at all, but at least they're OK in-game at the very least. Hopefully, there's some sort of clothing customisation like in X/Y. Maybe even a vintage outfit?

Saint Steven? I know his a poplour and chairtable trainer, but Sainthood seems a bit much!
Lovely stuff so far. Really like the desgins, although I always felt Maxie looked like a teacher, and the glasses really strengthen that now. :P Archie looks badass, I hope that with the redesgins they have a bit more distinct personaitliy now, Maybe Maxie could be a more of a bookish sort of while Archie is a bit more romantic and dramatic in his goal. Matt's gone from potbellied to massivly muscaller while Shelly is completely different. But I rather like them.
I assume Kyroge/Groundon's new 'de-evo' forms are going to be more powerful than the usual forms, my guess is that the story will revolve in attempting to get them to those forms as they were the peak of their power which dismished when they both slept thoughout the years.
Very intrested in the Mega evoulations, although Sceptile could have had a better abilitly, they both look cool and fun. On a small note, seems Torchic, Treeko and Mudkip have new artwork now, it's funny -- I believe the style of artwork Pokemon currently ised started with RS and gens 1 & 2 were updated as they got remade. We've gone full circle.
Lovely stuff.
EDIT: Ooooh look at Steven's speach bubble -- it's got the original border from RS. Awesome small touch!

...wait, draw your attention to that picture in the bottom left corner.
If I'm not mistaken, that pokemon health box thing is in the location of the enemies,right? Then why is it a level 100 mega? Maybe on a rematch of the E4 Steven gets as high as level 100, or perhaps this could see the return of challenge mode, albeit much harder.
-
Oh good, I'm not the only one thinking that. My other thought was the possibility of pvp matches having different arenas instead of just that virtual space thing.
-
...Nope, don't care how much of a boost mega gives, we'll be sticking with good ol'fishioned Swampert. You can keep your Electivire arms and Seismitoad body, thanks. :dry:

I'll have you all know that I called Swampert's Mega ability long before it was ever a thing. I told Utack it'd either be Huge Power or Swift Swim if he ever got one around December of last year. 8)
That said, Mega Swampert doesn't look good, and Mega Sceptile's ability is kinda silly. Prevents Volt Switch spam and gives Rotom-W a little bit of trouble, but if it's popular they'll just start running HP Ice, or keep using Will-o-Wisp if it's primarily physical. Grass/Dragon is cool though.
Brendan and May look bad, and they should feel bad.
Mega Blaziken's gonna be Uber for sure! Why is no one talking about THIS reveal?! O:
All this said, I'm still super excited to see what comes next. Hoping they'll do Mega Flygon, Metagross and Salamence. Maybe Mega Altaria with Dragon/Fairy.
-
I'm hoping to get Mega Zangoose and Seviper as version exclusives, plus Mega Flygon and Milotic. Then all my Hoenn favourites will be extra awesome <3
-
Opinions seem to be mixed over Mega Swampert. Personally, I can't hate it because it reminds me of a Megaman X boss (in a good way) I'm actually pretty cool with Swift Swim, except I kind of already have a Rain team (of sorts) on my Y version and don't wanna be redundant with my Alpha Sapphire team. That's why I'm hoping Hariyama gets a (decent) Mega Evolution (if any). I personally hope its stats go something like this, though I doubt it'll go exactly this way:
Attack: 140 (120 + 20)
Defense: 100 (60 + 40)
Sp.ATK: 40
Sp.DEF: 100 (60 + 40)
Speed: 50
Part of me wants Fighting/Steel, but I'm not sure if that'd be overkill, what with these stats backed with 144 base HP. As for the ability, I'm stumped on what would make more sense thematically (while still being useful) that it doesn't already have. Guess it depends on the end design, eh? (Would be nice if they made it so I didn't have to breed fo Bullet Punch either but then I want what's best for my immediate in-game Hariyama-bro)
*AHEM* Anyway, really digging the Order vs. Chaos theme the Magmas and Aquas seem to have going for them, in regards to their redesigns. Never mind how (even more) badass Archie looks now.
Brendan and May look bad, and they should feel bad.
Not as fussed by the new May, but to be honest, I never liked Emerald Brendan, either, and this new Brendan's trying hard to be some sort of summer-friendly hybrid between the old and older. I'm just guessing we'll be able to get something equating to their Ruby & Sapphire clothes, but I could be wrong.
-
I feel like giving Hariyama 100 defenses and 144 HP would be way over the top, but I wouldn't mind an overly defensive Fighting type. Still, the Attack combined with huge defenses and HP would be too much, I think. I think something like this would be more likely:
Attack: 160 (120 + 40)
Defense: 80 (60 + 20)
Sp.ATK: 60 (40 + 20)
Sp.DEF: 80 (60 + 20)
Speed: 50
A Bulk Up set would be very nice on something like this. The Attack boost isn't enough to outdamage a Life orb set (LO barely does more), but the slight added bulk would make this decent with Bulk Up, or maybe RestTalk.
Just throwing my 2 cents in, haha. I wouldn't mind seeing a Mega Hariyama however it comes out! He's been unused for... 3 generations now! D:
-
^That actually sounds much more reasonable, haha. Not that anyone's running special on Hariyama, but I wouldn't put the Sp.ATK boost past Game Freak. Or an increase in Speed, but well, this is overall more ideal. 70 Speed would be too slow to KO things without getting hurt first, yet too fast to make full use of in Trick Room, right? (More of a Doubles man myself, see)
-
Yeah, 70 Speed is one of the worst Speed tiers to have because of that. The only OU Pokemon with that Speed tier are Breloom and Bisharp, and they both run a priority move.
-
I got the best redesign though lbr
Also mega sceptile looks awesome!! Like webby said add in mega flygon, milotic and some mega version exclusives like ludicolo or shiftry.
-
I hope Mega Swampert is stronger than Mega Blaziken. It's great that all three Hoenn starters have mega evolutions.
-
You know which Pokemon I think would look cool as a Mega? Cacturne and Claydol. I can see Cacturne becoming even bigger and more sinister with huge spikes up its arms. Claydol I picture as a huge statue that now has actual hands and not those weird rounded pointy things where the fingers launch beams and slamming its hand into the ground will produce Earthquake.
-
I also found a video showing Mega Sableye. It looked official and in the same style as the starters/Diancie video.
