I must admit: my immediate impression was "The heck is this ***?!" Considering that they seem to be breaking the typical evolution rules, I was a bit angered. A few seconds later, I didn't mind. Besides, Mega Evolution seems to have a radical impact on the metagame.

So the scoop of the century is that the only good things in the new Corocoro are Gogoat's prevo and Mawile getting the Fairy type, is what I'm understanding. EDIT: And Megampharos's rock star hair I guess. |

At first I was about 90% sure I'd hate mega-evolutions, but I now find they don't really bother me. I actually like the MegaBlaziken and MegaMawile. There is one thing that makes me nervous about the concept of Mega-Evos, though...
Doesn't seem too Farfetch'd, anymore. |

Mega Evolutions are confirmed to only appear in battle. Combined with the fact that Mewtwo's Mega Evolution was called its "Awakened" form, perhaps Mega Evolutions are actually Awakened Pokemon, a Super Form of a certain stage rather than a true evolution. Perhaps while they'll be more powerful, they won't have access to any items, having to hold an item to go into their Mega Evolution form. Some questions for my competitively-minded brethren: 1. We all can tell that MegaLucario is gonna be scary. With an Adaptability-boosted Bullet Punch that will probably be just as powerful than a Scizor's Technician-boosted Bullet Punch (if not more so), I've been comparing the two recently. If MegaLucario is in OU next gen, what distinguishes the two Pokemon? 2. MegaAmpharos's typing and ability make it a mini-Zekrom. If its stats are boosted to be more offensive, could MegaAmpharos see play in UU or perhaps even OU? 3. So far, the current Pokemon with Magic Bounce (Xatu and Espeon) play fairly defensively. With MegaAbsol having Magic Bounce yet boosts in Attack and Speed, how would an offensive Magic Bouncer play in comparison to the more defensive current Magic Bouncers? |

Adaptability is an amazing ability. It just is. Until now, Crawdaunt was the only viable user. But that should change with MegaLucario. As for the distinguishing characteristics between [Mega]Lucario and Scizor? Scizor has only the single 4x Fire weakness, while [Mega]Lucario has a 2x Fighting, 2x Ground and 2x Fire weakness. I'm not sure which is worse defensively, ultimately, although I think it's worth noting that pretty much every offensive threat has EQ. On the other hand, Luc is kinda frail for OU, anyway, so defense may not be as important as offense. Unfortunately, I think that's were Mega-Luc hits a snag; in comparison to Scizor, it has poor dual STAB. The types that Steel hits super effectively are also hit super effectively by Fighting, anyway. Bug and Steel provide more varied STAB. On the other hand, I suppose Mega-Luc's Adaptability-boosted attacks will be stronger than Scizor's Technician-boosted attacks, overall. But that boost may be mostly omitted if a MegaScizor comes along.
MegaAmpharos will most likely be beast. Although it'll probably depend on it's Speed stat (frailsweepers with under 100 Spe often run into trouble in OU without a specific niche; that's why Krookodile, Bisharp, Honchkrow and Co. are in UU, after all), I definitely can see it in OU, and, if not OU, definitely UU.
The only really fast Magic Bounce user I see is Balanced Hackmon's Deoxys-Spe, which is mostly just to counter Prankster Deoxys-Spe. I can't really say what MegaAbsol will be like, but iMagic Bounce might give it a turn to set up. |

You're discussing those 3, & not the fact that Mega Blaziken ALWAYS has Speed Boost, or the fact that, between either doubly resisting or being immune to Dragon, on top of a Huge Power-boosted attack that far exceeds Deoxys-A, AND Fairy stab, that Mawile just went from an awesome but mostly useless Pokemon to the king of all dragonslayers? I suppose if this is the case, I don't hate them as much. Anyway, I guess I need to regard each thing seperately, huh? Bunnelby- Probably our rodent. Who cares. Next Dedenne- d'awwwww Skiddo- It's rideable? A bit small for that... But, I guess if a Pidgey can use Fly. You never see that in the same way you see riding, though... Korrina- My instinct tells me Fighting type, but I hope not. MegaBlaziken- Will kill things, but bluh. MegaLucario- Double bluh. MegaMawile- Dragons confirmed for never getting used ever again outside of LC. MegaAbsol- SWEET JESUS THE EDGE MegaAmpharos- iii COME FROM THE LAND OF THE ICE AND SNOW FROM THE MIDNIGHT SUN WHERE THE COLD WINDS BLOW~ |

Only other thing I want to have a Mega Evolution is Sableye, and only because it always irks me when counterparts aren't symmetrical. Also part of the reason I'm happy Mawile got Fairy. |

I must admit: it's pretty darn awesome that the baby changes rather than the parent. ![]() Somewhere, Cubone is crying. ![]() And, as it's always necessary to link things to their competitive relevance, MegaKangaskhan will be scary thanks to Parental Bond. Double Return for massive damage!!! |

Now that one I like. We'd better get transferability, I want my hacked Kangaskhan to get off multiple Water Guns, like a real Missingno. |

My only hope is that Game Freak won't use Mega Evolution as a lame way to opt out of giving evolutions to pokemon that really need it. I mean, Absol and Mawile are pretty poor statwise, and people were hoping they'd get evolutions before Mega Evolution was revealed. I'm glad that the system is going to be limited. |

As long as they don't go overboard I sort of like MegaEvolutions. Gogoats prevo is nice, mini-Raichu is working the adorable factor, and the rabbit is not too impressive. What really gets my attention though is the same thing that got Clockys' attention: Mawiles' new typing. I've always liked it, and it's nice to see it get a much needed boost. One heck of a dragon slayer indeed. |
