Pokemon X Y "Mega Evolutions" revealed (trailer) + new art and details

Because honestly, I have the feeling Game Freak barely acknowledges that Digimon even exists.

That maybe true. But I don't see why we should assume that GF wasn't when they're in the same genre and are so clearly similar and have both been around for so long. It's not the first time they've borrowed from tamagatchi, and vpet was pretty clearly influenced by pokemon. The spin that it's like all shonen and the defensiveness over the mention of another very similar media is pretty weird.

Mega evolutions only activate in battle, so I don't think that would work? Unless holding the item can trigger a change in the moves you learn.

I meant you get the option to learn the move after you mega evolve for the first time. Similar to how you would get the option of learning a new move after you go up a level or evolve.
 
If anything the first thing I thought of was the "Ultimate Modes" in Kamen Rider when I saw Mega Evolutions, and then I heard "SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO EVOLUTION" in my head.

I hope they do a Mega Ledian that takes that to the Next Level.

Also, pretty sure Korina's helmet is a Mienshao.
 
I'd be disappointed if Korrina has a mega Lucario as her main seeing as Lucario was already Maylene's main. I hope she gets a Gen VI 'Mon.

Hm, that would be a good way to introduce mega/tutor exclusive moves. Or level ups in mega form.

I wonder if every final form Pokémon will have a mega form eventually, though it seems overly complicated to me. Maybe if the game limits you to one end-all mega stone per game, so only one Pokémon on a team can go mega.

Japan really loves season upgrades.

Also I want Mega Heracross to exist with Clock Up Speed Boost.
 
How come everyone is talking about Saiyans and not giving it a holla to my boy Megampharos.

That's because Digimon comparisons have been associated with all the silly "pokemon is dead, its all digimon now!" style comments that have been thrown around for over a decade.
 
Ampharos <3

One of my most fav pokemon (next to blaziken ;p)

I'm glad it also has a mega evo!

Love the fan art/artwork that is coming out!
 
I'm pretty sure the stuff in Digimon isn't unique in its purest form though - stuff like fusion and such are found in pioneers of shonen as well.

If that rumour is legit, then what they think was a second new form of Mewtwo, could be a Mega Mew. They did say that it appeared similar to Mew, after all

Yeah, thats my thinking as well.

Dedenne feels like an actual Raichu pre-evo than Pikachu does :P
Click to expand...

I really hope there is a reason for the insane similarity. Even if its something like "thought to be related to the Pikachu family at one point in time".
 
So Korrina is a Fighting-type gym leader who teaches you about Mega Evolutions, huh? I bet her main Pokémon is either Mega Lucario or Mega Blaziken (or both!).

On another note, half of the Mega Ampharos art gets the ears wrong. :-\

The scan wasn't very clear, almost all of them get the Tail wrong or try to avoid showing it.
 
"Other things are needed for Mega Evolution to succeed, and those secrets will be explained later!"

I wonder if this will include meeting certain base stats with Super Training.

Mega Lucario and Mega Blaizken's decent designs make me wonder WTF they were thinking with Mega Mewtwo.
Click to expand...

While I'm fairly neutral to Mega Mewtwo yeah I agree that as far as the announced Megas are concerned, it's the least appealing to look at.

Maybe they were initially planning to make it exclusive to very few Pokemon, but later decided to expand to feature to a larger number? Mewtwo's Mega evolution seems to be the only one so far that is a completely new design, like a standard evolution or form change. All the other Mega evolutions seem to take the base Pokemon and then add more stuff on top, without changing the base body.

It seems like the later would suggest a higher number of designs, while the first would be more limited, and the different approach to the designs could suggest different plans for them in the design phase.

This may be true. Its very possible the feature started out as something Mewtwo exclusive and only later did they realized its potential as a new standard feature rather than a one off, thus fleshing out its rules after Mega Mewtwo's existence.
 
I'm pretty sure they make him different for teasing purposes.

What is this pokemon that looks like Mewtwo?
People wonder if he is an evolution, Childhood's are destroyed etc...

Is this Mewtwo's new form?
Are they going to be another form? Will he gain another type?

Mega Mewtwo Announced.Ooooh.

They even noticed the similarity!

Also, I wonder if Dennede's ability stack with healing berries. Since their ability allows them to gain HP for consuming any berry, what if it consumes Oran or Citrus?
 
Luap said:
This is my first time seeing it, and I must say it looks a lot less intimidating than Mewtwo's regular design. And Mewtwo should always be intimidating.

This. It looks a little...too psychic now.

Also cool that Mega Ampharos actually looks sorta like a thunder god now.
