Mega Sceptile looks amazing, i'll pick it.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

THEY FINALLY FIXED SCEPTILE'S TAIL!

OMG NO MORE SHOVED CHRISTMAS TREE ON HIS ASS!

Also dem bara team aqua

Was waiting for someone else to point this out. Never liked the original line; this fixes much wrong with them.

 

[Busaiku]

If Mega Sceptile can move as fast and as murderously as Garchomp, then sure, it's not a problem, haha

Spoiler

losing the item slot and Grass attacks being lame means it won't

Well, Sceptile does have 120 Speed already.

 

[BlackJace]

I herd u liek Ice Beams

Grass is always getting stomped man, but they also look cool

 

[XenodudeX]

Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod for its ability. Let's just question the logic to this.

wat

 

[Inukage]

Steven Stone returns and also appears to have a Mega Charizard X and is after the secret for Mega Evolution!?!?! Mega Metagross PLEASE!

 

[IntelliHeath]

I'm very happy with Mega Sceptile. I'm going to main him once again!


I really like all pokemon overall, and they finally make it obvious that Brendan is wearing a hat. When I was reading manga, and I was mind blown that it shown Brendan with white hat instead of hairs.

 

[Boogiepop]

And Grass/Dragon? That's cool, but lol that 4x ice weakness

Eh, nothing new for dragons. And Garchomp and Salamence have gotten by just fine.

Also, liking the look of Mega Swampert. Looks nice and bulky, so I'd have to imagine he'll be pushed even further down that route.

 

[nintendoman58]

MEGA SCEPTILE IS GRASS/DRAGON?!?

YEEEEEESSSSSS.

Aw man I love Sceptile! My favorite grass starter is getting a Mega!

 

[papercamm]

Brendan looks pretty... Weird. I hope they keep customizable appearances.

 

[DaBoss]

Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod for its ability. Let's just question the logic to this.

Uh huh...that's interesting. Could be used nicely as a support Pokemon in doubles, but really, what a dumb idea lol.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Not sure how I feel about Steven Stone having Zard X. Mega Metagross would have been nice.

Well, Sceptile does have 120 Speed already.

If the Mega keeps the Speed and gives it a proper big Special Attack boost, we'll be in business.

 

[-Horizon-]

Steven looks older, new story that takes place years later confirmed?

Archie and Maxie are still up to no good. Would not make sense with what happened at the end of the original R/S where they gave up.

 

[Busaiku]

Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod for its ability. Let's just question the logic to this.

What.
I mean seriously, what.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod for its ability. Let's just question the logic to this.

Oh...

Dammit.


Is normal Diancie even out yet?

 

[PK Gaming]

News megas?

Oh man, Mega Sceptile looks awesome. It'll probably be really good too; giving something like Sceptile + 100 to its total stats and a new ability is a recipe for success.

 

[DNAbro]

huh in the pic under steven his mega charizard is at lvl 100. I wonder if it's just a placeholder or does he actually have a lvl 100 charizard.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I like how they didnt alter Brendan's design too much but altered May's a lot more when most everyone liked May's and disliked Brendan's design.

 

[OG Loc]

Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod for its ability. Let's just question the logic to this.

GameFreak'd

 

[Majukun]

where's my mega-cloyster nintendo?

 

[Fey]

wait, they're unnecessarily pushing shitizard into this game too? :/

 

[entremet]

No more early gray for the male MC.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Sceptile finally gets the respect it deserves as the best Grass starter.

Also why does Steven have a lv. 100 Mega Charizard X?

 

[PRjumpman124]

Archie and Maxie are still up to no good. Would not make sense with what happened at the end of the original R/S where they gave up.

Good point. I'd like to think it at least indicates it's an original storyline.

 

[-Horizon-]

The most important thing though, Steven isn't champion? Wallace again? Darn it D:

 

[Vexxan]

New Mega Evolutions look great...gonna be hard to pick a starter this time.

 

[Busaiku]

Oh...

Dammit.


Is normal Diancie even out yet?

July 19.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Mega Sceptile and Diancie are fantastic. Mega Swampert is an improvement too.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Yoooo Mega Swampert looks so cool. I don't care if we don't get any other Megas as long as we have him.

I also like the character redesigns, except maybe Maxie.

July 19.

Thanks!

 

[Toxi]

Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod for its ability. Let's just question the logic to this.

The universe hates Sceptile.

 

[Jeels]

Mega Swampart is the best of the three.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I really hope that everyone notice that Mega Spectile's tail is a huge drill.

 

[Regiruler]

Steven not having MEGAgross or even a fucking steel-type mega as a consequence of charizard pandering is fucking sickening.

 

[Infinite]

So you can't customize your trainer?

 

[-Horizon-]

Good point. I'd like to think it at least indicates it's an original storyline.

With the "New Adventure" or whatever it was tagline, I'm inclined to think so as well.
It might not just be a new adventure for a new generation of gamers.

 

[MegaMelon]

"Muh patching, no new megas" blown the fuck out!

 

[Firemind]

More importantly, what is Mega Swampert's ability? Can't be worse than Torrent/Damp. :lol

Hoping for Storm Drain. Fuck you, Gastrodon!

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Brendan & May look great! Thank goodness they didn't pull that Lyra bullshit again.

 

[JoeM86]

Ok, so Atom was a slight mistranslation. It appears Primal, Prehistoric or Primeval fits better for Groudon/Kyogre

 

[kuroneko0509]

I hate the new main char design

 

[Toxi]

Steven not having MEGAgross or even a fucking steel-type mega as a consequence of charizard pandering is fucking sickening.

Seriously, what the fuck. Metagross is his signature Pokemon.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Oh, I hope trainer customisation is still in it. Give me the old Brendan/May to start with, sure, but I wanna mix it up again as I go along.

(I mainly just want to ditch the hats.)

 

[laoni]

More importantly, what is Mega Swampert's ability? Can't be worse than Torrent/Damp. :lol

Hoping for Storm Drain. Fuck you, Gastrodon!

It's Swift Swim

 

[Banjotanooki]

Swampert looks badass but where's mah Mega-Metagross?

 

[Boogiepop]

More importantly, what is Mega Swampert's ability? Can't be worse than Torrent/Damp. :lol

Hoping for Storm Drain. Fuck you, Gastrodon!

Looks like Swift Swim? That's going to be... interesting. Kind of a weird choice looking at its design, but I guess it's nowhere near as weird as Lightning Rod Sceptile.

Looks like I was right about Megas. Still not sure if my sequel theory is right or not. The main characters look so different that I can't even be sure of they aren't new or redesigns

 

[vall03]

I know people are gushing on the new Mega evos, but can we talk about the new Kagari/Courtney and Izumi/Shelly redesigns? The new Team Magma and Team Aqua designs look great.

 

[Shaim]

So what does an atom/mega Rayquaza look like? And how hard is sky tower gonna be this time around?

 

[PK Gaming]

Mega Sceptile gets LigntningRod

Tch, i'm in a bad mood now

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Yes! Thank you for continuing the PokéBOMB legacy!

Mega Swampert is lookin' good. Still agonizing over whether to start with Mudkip or Treecko, since the former is my favourite of the bunch but I've never used the latter before.
