Thoughts on Mega Pokemon Designs? [Spoilers]

A lot of them look really awesome, though Venusaur is pretty disappointing. I like how outlandish their designs are, it's like they all got together and tried to come up with the craziest thing possible. They went a bit too far with Heracross on that point.
 
I would have liked that these were permanent evolutions instead of in-battle super saiyan type transformations.

The concept is neat in terms of changing battle strategies though due to the different moves the X and Y forms offer.
 
I was excited to get Mega-Aerodactyl in-game, then it turns out he mega evolves into Henry Winkler with a goatee. :(
 
Some of them are just fucking awful (Manetric, Heracross, Medicham, Houndoom, Alakazam) and some are actually pretty good (both of Charizard's, Blastoise, Aggron, Tyranitar, Absol, Blaziken, Lucario, etc).

I'm split on a few such as Gengar.
 
I think they're hit or miss. I'll just mention the ones I don't like:

Gardevoir
Heracross
Scizor
Pinsir
Abomasnow
Manectric
Medicham

Everything else is fair enough. Kind of sad Gengar has that third eye though. He'd look MUCH cooler without it.
 
See? Much better.

You have the best taste.

But look at it! The red accents, the random spikes, the spikes on top of the feet, the popped collar, the big ass tail out of no where, the awful new stripes it's all so busy and utterly bleh, the only thing remotely salvageable would have been the flowing dreads.

What is this foolishness, it looks amazing. You just described why its awesome looking/

The great aura's power allows him to feel.
 
Aw man, I was holding out hope for a mega Krookadile. Maybe one that fixes the giant penis nose... I'm glad Scizor got one at least.
 
Does Heracross learn Arm Thrust now because when i look at Mega Heracross's arms, it looks like they were made for that move. I also find mega gengar's third eye a bit much of overdesign. Most look great in my opinion. Mega Venusaur, Heracross and Manetric are only decent at most in my view though
 
I like all of the designs. Also, Mega Lucario really surprised me -- when you actually use him in battle and see him from the back and side, you realize his fur is shaped like a Sephiroth-style trench-coat, which looks really cool.
 
Mega Charizard Y
Mega Mewtwo Y
Mega Aggron

are the only few that look like a wholesome, aesthetically-pleasing designs to me.
 
I'm alright with most of them. Mega Aerodactyl sucks though, and Venusaur 's Mega is boring. Rest aren't bad.
 
Awesome for the most part, but too few. I hoped the inclusion of only 69 new pokemon would mean we got at least 40 megas, but didn't even get 30. Disappointing
 
Anyone else wish the baby Kangaskhan had been given a bone to hold as a weapon as a nod to the theory that it goes cubone >Marrowack > Kangaskhan?
 
Mega Charizard X and Mega Absol are the only ones I really like. The rest range from tolerable to terrible, to me. Mostly terrible.
 
Abomasnow is easily one of the best imo, he has 4 enormous ice spikes coming out of his back, for some reason noomes posted any back shots on him yet.
 
All of these look awesome (especially Mega-Gengar and Mega-Pinsir). Though Venusaur is a bit unnoticeably, sadly. He always was one of my favourite Pokemon of Gen I so it hurts to see Game Freak not caring for his "Mega" design in the slightest. :(

I'd rather Venasaur's subtle approach than be badass and spikes on every inch of its body...

Me too. You remember the first pics that were revealed? At the end of the megaevolution sequence there is a small colorful spark floating above the pokemon's head. I thought that was a fairy coming from mega venusaur's plant until I saw the same spark on charizard and blastoise. That would have been great
 
I really like Mega Pinsir. Mega Ampharos and Gengar are cool too. I actually am okay with most of them, but Manectric does look sort of silly to me.
 
I like most of them (Alakazam is by far my favorite), but I'm not really a fan of Gardevoir's. It sucks, because she's my 2nd favorite Pokemon.
