I'm thinking that baby khan's stats will be half of all of Kanga's stats.

I think it was confirmed that not all of the Pokémon will have a Mega, but I am curious as to which ones will not.

Anyone else annoyed that Baby Kangaskhan's foot is a little bit off the battle platform or is it just me?

No only the chosen few. Kangazkan was deprived of an evolution for too long and came back in mega form.
I hope his ability is as broken as it sounds.

I want more. Give me more Megas, announce them all!!!.
Or at least confirm MegaBannete.

Oh alright, thanks!
Lame. I feel like if you give some Pokemon Mega forms, all should have them, ya can't leave some of them out!

We ain't ready for the HBIC.
I have a feeling that all of the starters will get Megas. I mean, Blaziken shouldn't be the only one.

More like Mega Electrode, slightly different shade of red.
Wow, Mega Kangaskhan. As best as I can tell, there are no design changes to the mother; its pouch is just empty now that its baby is a toddler fighting alongside it.
I see its ability, Parental Bond, allows both mother and child to attack in the same turn -- in other words, it can hit twice in one turn. Does this apply to EVERY turn? I also wonder if the child has the same stats as the mother.

Legitimacy of that comment though is up in the air. I would imagine that others would have mentioned that earlier.
Probably a misunderstanding.
EDIT: I need to learn to read.

Woah Mega Kangaskhan! Too bad she looks the same, otherwise Substitute just found its greatest enemy! Yeah boy!

The baby seems to be the only one who transforms, but I think the Kangaskhan name always referenced the parent...?
It's clearly written as speculation, not an authoritative statement.
They're making an event out of Blaziken though. It's probably going to end up as the only starter with a Mega, as much as I disagree with that.
Anyways, I love Mega Kangaskhan, and it will be interesting to see how the two-hits-one-turn pans out, especially as far as stats go.
Yep.
Oh god, I don't know what I read earlier. I read it like twice. I need something to eat.

How can you hate the cute namekian?
I don't want them to make mega forms of all the starters just for the sake of "equality." That's ridiculous. They shouldn't force this stuff. 
If Blaziken's the only one, fine. They can always add more in the future. That's the nice thing about Mega Evolution, and each Pokémon requiring its own special stone to mega-evolve -- they can always add the special stones in the future. No need to come up with a new evolution method; just add the custom stone.
If I had to guess, I'd say the original three might receive mega forms. Reason being, part of the spot-on Pokebeach rumors was that a professor in the game gives you your choice of Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander. If you're going to give people access to the original three starters in the game, it'd seem fitting to introduce mega forms for them.
At any rate, this is all so exciting. Literally any Pokémon, no matter how evolved, is now fair game for an enhanced form that can be fresh twist on a familiar thing. This mega form of Kangaskhan (I hate writing that name, lol) is so brilliant in its simplicity -- it's not the mother that evolves, but the child, and the bond between them, allowing them to hit twice in one turn. Amazing!

So, Kangaskhan is the mother(having a useless baby) and the baby power ups using the mega stone. Mega Kangaskhan is the powered up baby and the mother.

Can you imagine? Using rest. The mother rests while the toddler attacks.
100% recovery move bitch. Yeah!!! =D
Electrode, Dugtrio, Muk, Tangrowth, and Mega Lucario are all worse.
I wouldn't expect major stuff from Smash if I were you
Would they just perform Rest twice in a row? Assuming Rest doesn't put them both to sleep on the first use, lol.
Let's run some conservative numbers, conservative under the assumption that the follow-up attack by the baby is reduced power, let's say cut in half. What's the deadliest attack Mega Khan could deliver under such circumstances?
But is HP and moves common?

This is stupid. Why do people constantly pretend as if Pokemon hasn't been around since the 90s? Every Pokemon parody I've seen mocks the first generation exclusively, and it's become quite tired and obnoxious.

Mega Kangaskhan is stone cold genius.
I think Mega Khan is too clever, conceptually, to be dismissed as a lazy design. The Genwunners should love this.
Kangaskhan was always a bit of a complicated design, anyways, so I think it's admirable restraint on their part to restrict the redesign to the baby. The baby is what mega-evolves, enhancing the combat potential of the pair.
Man, I have a feeling they'll mega-evolve Gyarados, probably one of the best-beloved of the already beloved original 151. A change to Water/Dragon would be swell.

I agree. I'm seeing people say it's lazy, but this is one of the best ideas I have seen in a long time.
