Title: Mega Slowbro and Audino confirmed!
Post by: Richard and Blaziken on August 12, 2014, 11:26
In a very unexpected twist, the Korean Pokemon site accidentally revealed Mega Slowbro and Audino.

Slowbro gains Shell Armor and appears to be swallowed by Shellder.

Audino gains Normal/Fairy typing and has Healer.

What do you think of these new Megas? Personally, the designs are alright for me, but the abilities are downgrades, as both preferred Regenerator before Mega Evolution.

Poor Slowpoke, even after evolving from being bitten in the tail and forced to carry that huge living muching shell for the rest of its days, it doesnt get any better when it Mega Evolves. The poor soul has the look of "Oh god, just kill me now!".

But hey, on the bright side, the 5th Gen's finally getting some Mega love. Be interesting to see what 5th Gen Pokemon can now Mega Evolve too (The 6th I'm guessing will be saved for either sequels/3rd version, or even the 7th Gen...)

Mega Slowbro looks ridiculous

Mega Audino on the other hand looks fantastic, I'm surprised with how they've gone with it but it looks very impressive

they're not showing in the OP so here:

EDIT: removed them as Rich has fixed it and I don't wanna clog up the page too much lol

Edited the first post, they weren't showing up for you because you must have the filter set to block the toilet seat, which was the only site I could find the pictures on at first.

Anyway, I love Mega Slowbro, just because of how adorably derpy it is. It doesn't even realize it's being eaten by Shellder. xD

Mega Audino looks cute too, but I'm not overly attached to it either way.

Megabro has a niece against critdra, as well as being one of these Megaevos that can think "when should I megaevolve?", not to say it avoids some h4x.

Megaudino, on the other hand, looks beautiful... and has much potential in Doubles and Triples. Don't expect to see it in singles.

Oh god, that slowbro is amazing. It looks like it deeply regrets mega evolving.

I love how they're just throwing out random megas rather than focusing on only gen 3. Mega raichu please?

it gets a move to devolve your pokemon as payback for all the times you kicked its ass to level them up

This is the only thing that has piqued my interest in OR/AS for a while, Audino looks brilliant. Slowbro looks...well, it's a unique choice of Pokemon to mega evolve. I'm glad they're not just focusing on the fan favorites/important pokemon

Omg Mega Slowbro looks so stupid that it's impossible to hate. Look at that face. It KNOWS it looks ridiculous.
Title: Re: Mega Slowbro and Audino confirmed!
Post by: SirBlaziken on August 12, 2014, 18:44
Ok, here's my judging:

Slowbro

Design: Ok. Meh, I hated it at first but it's kinda growing on me. The derpy face is kinda cute.

Ability: Prevents crits? No. Just no. They don't happen often (to me at least), and gaining health on a switch is too good to pass up

Audino

Design: Beautiful, downright gorgeous. That's all i've got.

Ability: Well, it does help in doubles and triples, but regenerator is still better.

Mega Slowbro looks more like a top than anything to me.

But is Audino a mega? 0_o (https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10419592_341136922708594_4128908201494709122_n.jpg?oh=d2d7d63b9a1d1ffe7750a450256b3207&oe=5462C2CD&__gda__=1415399236_791a29e20daa2cf1f4d52cdbd7e8d5a9)

can it

i was bored so i checked both of the original announcement posters for words that looked similar and both of them had 메가진화 which Google tells me translates to "Mega Evolution" so I think it's almost definitely a Mega Evo with a screen error as opposed to a new form or straight Evo.
Title: Re: Mega Slowbro and Audino confirmed!
Post by: Raphetty on August 13, 2014, 22:51
It's been confirmed just about everywhere so I wouldn't doubt its Mega Evolution-ness anyway.

It's likely just an image from beta testing or something when graphics weren't fully done, but still interesting that they'd make an oversight like that on their website

Mega Slowbro is the best.

Shell armor might help for calm mind stacking, Slowbro could be even more tanky now. Also maybe it will get rapid spin xD

I KNEW I wasn't the only one who saw Mega Slowbro as a top!
Title: Re: Mega Slowbro and Audino confirmed!
Post by: Spriter on August 18, 2014, 22:09
I think the entirety of social media saw it as a spinning top xD

First time I saw Mega Slowbro the Dead or Alive song "You Spin Me Right Round (Like A Record) popped into my head!

i may be in a minority who actually prefers megabro to megadino.


it;s just that megadino has pretty colours and all but i can't help being drawn to its homer simpson beard and i can't look at it w/o laughing.


megabro is so cute tho like i genuinely want one to keep forever

It's not that I don't like Megabro, it's just that it looks more like a top or ice cream cone than an actual Pokemon.

i would be very alarmed if my ice cream cone had arms, legs, a tail and spikes tbh

The shell got hungry, so it ate Slowbro. That's how I see Mega Slowbro. xD

Mega Audino looks more healer-ish, which fits since its ability is Healer. I feel like it might end up replacing Chansey in Pokemon Centers one day.
