One of my favorite Gen 3 'mons... ruined. I guess it's kinda cool, but now I'll have no reason to use normal Sableye anymore. It's like Electivire all over again. </3

Also this reminds me that I got pretty much zero mega stones. I finished X and just stopped playing once the Friend Safari got boring =/

I don't ask much. Just give me a Mega Zangoose.

Hey, that's worth 20 green rupees. Not bad.
Yeah there's no way they give this Wonder Guard. Fairies, fairies everywhere, giving Mega Sableye Wonder Guard would be broken.

I like the large gem idea.
Waiting for Mega Milotic or Mega Metagross now.
Or for the trolling moment of the century, a Mega Shedinja

I can see it getting some ability that complements the "no weaknesses" gimmick, so either something that voids his Fairy Weakness or Wonder Guard.
Dunsparce needs to evolve into a Normal/Dragon. It has to happen.

Oh, some direct feed screenshots. Added to OP.
Mega Sableye uses the jewel as a powerful defensive tool in battle. From behind the shelter of the jewel, it can readily exploit the opponents weaknesses and take advantage of any openings. It is said that the jewel hardens into such strength that no attack can even make a scratch!

Shiny should have a gold rupee.
Yup. Makes sense for things that have 3 stages already (starters etc) but just seems like a cop-out for others. I guess they don't want to add evolutions into a new regions pokédex any more.

Because a lot of the time, you can't? Because it adds a different element of strategy? Because they can do stuff like this where that add new content to remakes?

Does this thing still have Prankster? Its mediocre stats were the one thing holding it back in Gen5 and I'm assuming those will get a sizable bump with the MegaEvo.

Uh, because due to the one Mega Evo a battle limit they can make megas a lot stronger than they can a normal evo for non-pseudos?
Mega Evolution is a very strategic thing. From the outside, you may think "What's the point?", but when you're in battles, you have to think and plan. "Is the Mega Evolution worth sacrificing the Life Orb/Choice Band?" "Will the boost be worth it?" "Can the type change/ability change be brilliant?" Then you have to figure out WHEN to do it, and psych your opponents out.
I love Mega Evolutions and I'm glad they're here to stay. The +100 stat boost for each Mega Evolution can really change how you use them.

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get another Mega Blaziken soon. Then they'll there'll be two!
Alternate Mega Heracross, please, Game Freak. ;_;

That looks pretty cool; I was kinda bummed when he didn't get on in XY after Mawhile did. I wonder what ability/type changes it'll have.
Hopefully on the 15th when Corocoro goes on sale (or whatever date it is this moth).

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense to me at all. They still need to design those Mega Evolutions, just like you would design a normal Pokemon. Mega Evolutions are essentially a new evolution and the only thing that differentiate them from other evolutions, is the fact, that they aren't permanent.
Same thing could be achieved, with adding real evolutions.
How is adding Mega Evolutions new content and real evolutions not? Same thing...
Which is sad and a cheap way to win battles easy, in my opinion. Completely depends on the teams, though, just like a normal battle.
CoroCoro is due out on Friday and had them. Chances are they'll come Friday. They staggered these things out last year, too.
June 11th: Noivern & Vivillon with some game announcements such as Fairy-type
Later June 11th: Talonflame, Skrelp & Clauncher, Sky Battles & Horde Battles
June 14th: Litleo, Flabébé, Spewpa, Scatterbug, Rivals & Gym Leader Viola
Did it in August with Mega Evolution reveal, too
August 8th: Dedenne, Bunnelby, Mega Lucario, Mega Blaziken & Mega Mewtwo Y
August 10th: Mega Kangaskhan
August 11th: Mega Mawile, Mega Ampharos, Mega Absol

Not really as the strategy changes on the fly.

I am super hyped!!!! I freaking love my Sableye, as it has wiped entire teams by itself before. If the Mega version still has the same typing and Prankster stays as the ability, with the increased defenses that the video mentioned, I'm going to explode with joy! Seriously.
I just can't... =']

Thanks!
Pretty sure, the strategy in Pokemon battles always changes on the fly.

It's like you're purposely not understanding what we're saying. It's been explained what Megas can do that evolutions can't multiple times in this thread.
Ok. Say you have a Gengar out which has Gengarite attached.
You're thinking "Should I Mega Evolve and leave myself vulnerable to Ground-type attacks but get a huge stat boost, or should I wait and see how this opponent works?"
Things like that. Nobody just Mega Evolves on the first turn anymore unless that's part of their strategy.
Posters on Reddit have made vectors of some of the megas based off the scans

As long as they don't ruin Mt. Pyre's music, it's all good.
Don't get your hopes up. XY's OST was much worse than previous entries.
Strategy wise, Mega Evolutions bring something to the table real evolutions could never achieve.
Mega Pinsir - "Should I Mega Evolve now, or should I try to get a Moxie boost first."
Mega Kangaskhan - Sometimes, you have to decide whether or not to hold off so you can hit a ghost type switch in via scrappy.
I could write something like this for the majority of Mega Evolutions.
Is that what people do, when they disagree? Just call someone out, that they are "Purposely not understanding" and be done with it, eventhough I provided answers, why I don't like these things or why I think that you are wrong?
Okay, I get from where you are comming. Real evolutions could never achieve things like this, except in some rare situations, where Pokemon have abilties or attacks, that could replicate those things (changing stats or type of the Pokemon for example).
But yeah, Pokemon is a game, where the strategy always changes on the fly.
---
To wrap this up. I just don't like Mega Evolutions (and what they bring with them), because they don't make sense in the Pokemon universe to me and I really think, that it's wasted potential to make those instead of real evolutions or new Pokemon in general. X and Y was really disappointing to me, with the number of new Pokemon available.

fuckin' called it, man
So long as its ability is still prankster I'll use this thing. If it's ability just boosts its defense or something (which I think is entirely possible given the giant gem it's hiding behind) then no thank you.
