New Mega Evolutions

[Richard and Blaziken]

It's still fun to speculate, but anything we say here should be taken with a grain of salt, of course. But Claire, I heard it's something about activation or something, so maybe the item allows you to activate the form in battle, but doesn't necessarily auto-change it? Or maybe it does? (I'd prefer if it did, tbh)

I'm willing to bet Blaziken will remain Uber, yeah. Boost stats and Speed Boost seems crazy good.

Absol could have a spot in OU, for sure! Depending on how much Speed and Attack it gets, it could be a major player. And another Magic Bounce Pokemon? Sounds like potential OU material to me!

I'd see Mawile in UU or so, personally. Do we even know all of Fairy's strengths and weaknesses? Sure it can come in on Dragons, but that's not everything.

Newtwo is gonna be Uber, blah blah blah, nobody cares xD

Electric/Dragon will be amazing for Ampharos. No longer needing HP Ice will free a spot for HP Fire, allowing it to deal with Scizor and Ferrothorn. Ampharos already has great SDef, and possibly buffed stats will only make it harder to kill.

As for new Luke, double-STAB on Fighting (and Steel, which could be more important next gen) and higher Attack and probably other stats will probably bring about the second coming of SD Luke, as Luke this generation was pretty disappointing when we had access to Terrakion and such.

I'm quickly gaining excitement for all of these and have warmed up to new Blaziken very quickly. It seems like these are more akin to temporary forms, than evolution, and I like that. :>

There's an updated video, looks like they are definitely called 'mega evolutions' in english too.

Also rollerblading gym anyone? The vs screen looks cool.

But seriously GameFreak or TPCi...please change the font, it looks terrible. This is one of my biggest complaints so far.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Mid-battle changes too, so it doesn't appear to be just "hold the stone and auto-change", unless it happens upon being sent out, but that's not the impression I got.

...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super excited for Mega Blaziken after seeing normal Blaziken freaking erupt into Mega Blaziken and shoot fire at my face. October please come sooner.

I suppose this was sort of cameo'd last gen, with Meloettas relic song, so could this play out in a similar way? i.e. spend a turn transforming? If it were to be move activated, it may not be as game changing as it seems (Yeah, Ampharos won't need HP ice, but he'll still lose a move slot for transforming moves)

Obviously, this is purely an idea of how the mechanics may work, no evidence or anything. But it does see, fairly likely, as Gen V did seem to be a bit of a testing ground.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Well the Mega Stone is needed for transformation, with no mention of needing a move slot for it. It may take a turn to activate, or perhaps it just does so upon being sent out (which, after seeing the video again, seems entirely more possible than I first thought)

[quack98]

Do you have a link for the video? I can't find it and I kinda want to see it...

[Richard and Blaziken]

Here's the new video, for anyone that hasn't seen it!

[SirBlaziken]

I thanks the creators of pokemon for making blaziken even more op and awesome than he already was! Luke looks cool as well, mewtwo looks way too op, and the other 3 needed it a lot.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Oh my God, I just realized, the Torchic event with Mega Stone is distributed from launch date. Which means I can begin X/Y with a Torchic starter with Speed Boost.

Oh yes. Oh God, I love this. The whole galaxy is just coming together for me right now and I am loving every second of it.

[SirBlaziken]

Richard, it seems that they are making X/Y just to please the two of us.

[quack98]

Here's the new video, for anyone that hasn't seen it!

Ah, thank you Richard.

I hope they make an Empoleon one, or a Meganium one.

[Meowstic Royalty]

I repeat...

MEGA EMBOAR MEGA EMBOAR MEGA EMBOAR

[Angelic Lapras King]

I wonder if they'll expand on these after the game's release via free DLC. Sort of like "Hey kids! A MegaTauros has just been discovered! Hook your 3DS to the Internet now to download the new item required to evolute Tauros!". Sort of like updating the game for new MegaEvolutions and whatnot.

I mean hey, if a game like Mystery Dungeon came have paid DLC...

Would get crushed be MegaBlaziken.

Robin, MegaEmpoleon would be awesome.

[Lord Raven]

There's a MegaKangaskhan that looks like the baby Kangaskhan with Kangaskhan, and it has the ability to hit twice in one turn

damn

supposedly limited to one per party or something
