Let me just say Mega Pidgeot looks pretty awesome. Even if they were only small changes, they added to it really well imo.

Agreed, but Mega Beedrill is just beautiful.

I didn't even think about it happening and now I'm glad it did.

I can't be the only one thinking it looks more Bug/Steel than Bug/Poison though? It looks like it's become part robot, it's literally gleaming like metal.

Well at least Mega Pidgeot didn't look as odd as Mega Slowbro. That thing looks so much like an ice cream cone.

@Zeke: That is true. Thinking about it, poison/steel would be a possible combination. It's sounds cool.

I've just thought, Nasty Plot on this majestic beast would make it murderous.

... murderously weak.

Its base Special Attack is 45. And an increase of 50 points would make it 95, far from dangerous with intial 65/90/40/45/80/75 stats.

Assume it will get a total increase of 100 between all stats bar HP.

On the other hand, if you mean Pidgeot... it already has Work Up, enough to boost both Stats and escape using a U-Turn. Nasty Plot would leave you walled by some Pokémon. Say you have Hurricane, Heat Wave, and HP Ground/Fighting/Water. With Pidgeot's current base 70 SpA, it will need a huge increase in SpA to hit Rotom-W, Tyranitar, Heatran, and Zapdos without being walled. Keep in mind as well that Pidgeot received a boost in its Standard forme, and Mega Alakazam, which got a similar boost, only got its Mega Stats increased by 90 points.

If I did not include any other attack (other than Round, Hyper Beam, or Uproar) is because they are either too weak or have too negative side effects (a priori). Yes, Pidgeot needs more moves.

^Way to shoot all our dreams down.

Mega Pidgeot is just Braviary on special steroids right now, and actually looks so much cooler. Mega Beedrill looks incredibly awesome too, loving the design.

But omgggggg the flying thing is something I've always hoped would happen in a Pokémon mainstream game and it's come true! Inb4 Pokemon Ranger jokes

Seriously though, I will scream at someone if they have shiny locked all of the legendaries :/

Captain Jigglypuff

I don't think it's going to be very likely that the legendaries will be shiny locked this time around. I mean they aren't in their usual regions and plus the legendaries that are Shiny locked aren't the mascots for the region. I also have a theory that Regigigas will be one of the few (if not only) non-Hoenn Legendary to be caught legitimately within the Hoenn dex and not in the clouds. Heatran might be found in a cave inside Mt. Chimney after the Elite Four.

Mega Beedrill    ;D
Mega Pidgeot     :(
Plz plz plz plz plz plz add in mega Glalie or deoxys

Captain Jigglypuff

Deoxys won't be getting a Mega. I mean it's forme changes provide the stat changes Mega Evolution gives. In a way its formes ARE Mega Evolutions and the meteorites are the Mega Stones. But a Mega Glalie and Mega Froslass would be nice.

I dunno if Deoxys will or won't get a Mega but Deoxys' formes all have the same base stat total so it's not out of the question

At any rate anything said about Pidgeot is just speculation...  even if it somehow gets 140 base SAtk it has all of Twister, Hurricane, some normal type special move, and like Heat Wave for its special movepool

There's Hidden Power too. You could run Hurricane, an HP, Heat Wave and Roost.  I think that could work.

U turn is always there to flesh out its movepool too

I was watching the Viridian City episode of Pokemon Rusty about a month ago and I scrolled down to the comments. I saw the top comment that read "Mega Beedrill confirmed. We're f[screwed]d" with over 300 likes. I thought that was just a foreboding joke. I laughed when I saw that it was true.

When was Mega Beedrill confirmed again? Was it there since a month ago when I read that comment, or was it just recently?

Bulbapedia had an article posted on it October 10. Pretty recent. That guy really nailed it with his comment, didn't he?

Well, anyway, I have other thoughts comparisons on the Mega Pokemon. Well no, actually on the exciting new features in ORAS. The fact that you get to fly around on Lati@s in the sky and run into sky Pokemon reminds me of Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs (I love this game!) You get to fly over the clouds on Lati@s and chase down flying pokemon like Skarmory, Chatot, Pidgeot, etc. Then you catch up to and run into them in battle. Not too Farfetch'd to say that ORAS is adding in an element of Pokemon Ranger to the generic Pokemon games.

Oh and about Guardian Signs... When I heard that you can catch Palkia and Dialga and other legends using the fly-on-Lati@s feature, I immediately thought of how you can fly to Rainbow Dais (which is elevated pretty high up in the air the first time you're there) to catch Ho-Oh. Of course, that's the same thing as using Fly in the regular Pokemon games. But I still think that ORAS is derivative of Guardian Signs.

All Pokemon can use the move Fly. Maybe by having Lati@s use Fly, you unlock the event where you literally get to fly in the sky? If so, I'll go all "Guardian Signs" on all those Pidgey's up there.
