Polygon states that they were told that Kalos Pokémon will not have Mega Evolutions

But only specific Pokemon have Mega Evolutions; older Pokemon — like Mewtwo, Lucario and the Generation One starters — will have Mega Evolutions, but Pokemon newly introduced in X and Y will not.

I'm liking both of these, Tyrantrum a little better.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Fuck. I wanted the Kalos starters to have mega evolutions.

Makes sense. Mega Evolutions seem to give older Pokémon something extra, so that they can be relevant in Gen VI.

Kind of a disappointment. I'll bet a million Pokedollars they'll add some Kalos megas in the third version and provide an update for XY to make them compatible

I expected that. I'm pretty sure that they will give Kalos Pokemon the mega version next generation.

Unless fans weren't 'happy with the Mega mechanic and they were forced to nixed it in next gen.

 

[JoeM86]

Aurorus also has a move called Freeze Dry. Ice-type move that freezes the opponents, and is said to be Super Effective on Water-types...

O.O This is fucking great.

Tyrantrum looking good!

I'm okay with this.

 

[JackHerer]

Aurorus looks kinda cool.


But that Tyrantrum looks amazing.

I dunno how I feel about no mega-evolutions for Kalos pokemon. I was hoping at least all the starters from each gen would have megas. I guess it might just be Gen 1 starters then.

 

[IntelliHeath]

It's your avatar's haircut, in white.

Hahaha

But it has an ability that makes normal type moves into ice type moves.

That's true but I need to see if it's good ability or not.

Oh it's SE against water types, neat...wait what?

Wait what? This is a first for a move being super effective on a type right?

That's true but I need to see if it's good ability or not.

It is good. It makes moves like Hyper Beam and Giga Impact get STAB.

 

[JoeM86]

Yeah, the wording of this is iffy. I've put a line out to try and get clarification.

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

I can see the Kalos starters getting Mega evolutions in Pokemon Z or whatever, and then other Kalos Pokemon getting Megas in Gen 7 (as well as some Gen 1-5 mons that didn't get them yet).

 

[Big Chungus]

 

[Fireblend]

Really cool designs. Also it makes sense to me for Kalos pokemon to not mega-evolve. I'm guessing that there won't be more than ~25 mega-evolutions anyway.

 

[JackHerer]

Blaziken.

Oops I forgot about him. Hopefully that means other starters will get them as well. I really want a Feraligatr mega.

Who doesnt love epic trex beards!

 

[Mr-Joker]

Now, I gotta wonder...

Is there a third (final) evolution?

Very unlikely as fossil Pokémon are usually two stage Pokémon, barring Aerodactyl.

Also in the IGN video (in the OP I linked) there's Professor Sequoia. Who is that?

Properly the guy who gives trainers the Kalos starters.

Good, because I wasn't a fan of Mega Evolutions.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But Tierno is the one who gives you starters.

 

[zroid]

shit they both look awesome

Wait what? This is a first for a move being super effective on a type right?

Here's what I found.

Aurorus is the evolution of Amaura, and is a Rock and Ice-type Pokémon that players will find is effective against Water-type foes. It uses a new Ice move called Freeze-Dry, which can see opponents become frozen and leaving them open to additional attacks.

Here it mentions Aurorus being effective against Water-types, not the move.

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

I wonder if they'll go back and make certain old moves function like Freeze Dry. e.g. Make the elemental punches SE against stuff weak to Fighting.

 

[JoeM86]

Here's what I found.

That's true. I guess I'm going to give them a try.

Think of it like Bianca in Black and White 2 when she gave you the starter Pokémon but wasn't the region professor.

Could keep it 13 and call it hype returns.

 

[DaBoss]

I see Masuda has learned from Sakurai lol

There’s also the limited use of 3D visuals – most of the game, outside of certain cinematics and battle sequences, is displayed as flat 2D. “We chose not to use 3D in areas where we wanted to put more focus on the game’s beauty. We also felt that using 3D sparingly would make it have more impact when it did show up.”

Here's what I found.

Here it mentions Aurorus being effective against Water-types, not the move.

WTF? A Pokémon being super effective?

So where is that from?

Dear lord Tyrantrum.

You'll probably never be leaving my party.

OK, thought it was a translation of something.

Maybe it has something that will make it more usable against Water types? So confusing.

 

[Neiteio]

Holy shit, Tyrantrum

Don't forget the HM slaves, you won't be having 6 slots unless you spread out the HMs.

I am still waiting for some site to accidentally reveal Spritzee and Swirlix's evolutions :|
