September Corocoro Leaking! [UPD2]

(Click to enlarge)

[UPD2] It seems more leaks are coming any moment, as another leaker has gotten their hands on Corocoro and is uploading some pages. New, clear, and full versions of the scans we’ve seen have now been revealed, though there seems to be more to go.

[UPD1] The PokémonKorea official site has updated with details on a playable demo for XY coming to Korea. In this, they report about the Mega Evolutions. This means that Mega Evolutions are confirmed, and any other information should be taken as real as well.

This month’s issue of Corcoro has begun leaking. With new Pokémon and more! Keep checking back as we update with translations! 

On Mega Evolutions

  • “Mega” Pokemon; These new supercharged versions of their previous ones are NOT traditional evolutions or forms, but happen through a “Mega Evolution” process.
  • Mega evolutions are ONLY accessible  during battle.
  • A “Megastone” seems to be a collective term for the held items used to Mega-evolve each Pokémon. In the case of Blaziken, its Megastone is called “Blazikenite”.
  • One of the gym leaders, Coruni, hold the key to these new Mega-lutions.
  • Mega Pokémon have stat changes: Lucario gets an Attack stat boost, whilst Absol gets a boost to both Attack/Speed.
  • Unknown what the stat changes for other Mega Pokémon are.
  • Mega evolutions seem to awakened temporarily in battle by holding a megastone for some Pokémon.

Getting ‘Mega’ versions are:

  • Blaziken (Fire/Fighting, ability: Speed Boost)
  • Lucario (Steel/Fighting, ability: Adaptability)
  • Ampharos (Electric/DRAGON, ability: Mold Breaker)
  • Mawile (Steel/Fairy, ability:Huge Power)
  • Mewtwo (Psychic, ability: Insomnia)
  • Absol (Dark, ability:Magic Bounce)
  • Not all Pokemon will get Mega versions.

More could be revealed!

New Pokémon, Miscellaneous

  •  Meekuru, a Grass-type Gogoat prevolution has Sap Sipper for ability.
  •  Horubii, a Normal-type rabbit-ish Pokémon, known as the “Digging” Pokémon has a new ability called “Cheek Pouch,” or Pickup.
  • Dedenne, an Electric/Fairy-type Pokémon which is the “Antennae” Pokémon, has a new ability called “Cheek Pouch,” or Pickup.
  • Speed Boost Torchic will be distributed with it’s “Mega Stone”; This Speed Boost Torchic with “Blazikenite” Distribution starts from the release date(October 12th) to January 15th, 2014.
  • Although cut off, what seems to be Super Training is mentioned! As previous leaks have pointed at, completing these games seems to raise Effort Values for the Pokémon that participate.
  • Also mentioned is the Master Tower, which has a connection to Mega Pokémon.

Also confirmed is that next month’s Corocoro is to show even more Mega Evolutions, alongside an updated type chart to show off Fairy-type.

  1. This is the first thing ever in pokemon that I’ve actively been against. I really hope “Mega-evolution” is fake. Not impressed at “the scoop of the century” thus far.

    Reply
  2. It just doesn’t make sense that Mewtwo can “mega-evolve” too as the whole thesis behind legendaries is that they stand alone and are powerful enough to not have to go through an evolution process. Please be fake 🙁

    Reply
  3. So how about those 4th Stage Evos lolloolol Blaziken took OU to a whole new level

    So does that mean the 2ch leak was true since it also talked about Dedenne?

    AND OMG THAT PIKACHU COUSIN IS KAWAIIII DESUU

    Reply
  4. I find it really weird that they’re willing to mess with a starter like this. Not saying it’s good or bad, just saying that they usually leave the starters the way they are.

    Reply
  5. I think this has something to do with the whole “DNA” theme. Like, this is their perfect formes that evolution would have led them up to or something, idk. Or maybe these Pokemon all had the evolutionary potential to become Legendary Pokemon, and these “Mega” formes are their unlocked potential and they all technically become legendary.

    Reply
    • I like the idea of regular Pokémon being able to hold their own against legends. I know that would make legendaries somewhat pointless, but it would make the competitive seen much more interesting.

      Reply
  6. Close inspection suggests these ‘evos’ are linked to either Xerneas or Yveltal aesthetically – DNA manipulations? X and Y chromosomes?

    Reply
  7. Hmm I’m not sure what to think about what we saw. It seems interesting with the whole “Mega” thing. I’ve never been against anything in Pokemon so I’ll probably end up liking it, if its real, at the end lol

    Reply
  8. Fake. Or at least I very much hope so. Messing with legendaries and starter lines to make the idiotic ancient fanboy dream of “pokégods” true is an absolutely awful idea. I very much suspect this is fake, and if not I’m extremely dissapointed.

    Reply
    • I think it’s a interesting idea that should be looked into. Why should gamefreak cut themselves short to preserve the legacy. If they believe they have a good idea on their hands and want to execute it, then they should be able to do so. I look forward with an open mind. Also I’m a little bias. I love blaziken.

      Reply
      • I also love blaziken, I just don’t want it seperated from the other starters in what I see as a blasphemous digimonification. You’re perfectly entitled to your opinion though.
        Also, Absol and Mawile need evolutions, not mega-crapification.

        Reply
        • Well I see your point. Perhaps they’ll have one for some other starters. One for all of them or one from each gen. Or this could be all fake. I am waiting for the complete picture.

          Reply
          • hopefully they won’t be called mega-blaziken and have a REAL pokemon name maybe but that’s just me 😉

            but seriously i do like this leak, i hope this istrue since gogoat’s pre-evo is revealed

    • I think it’s quite exciting. I mean it will make the competitive scene more interesting and it will make some useless/forgotten Pokémon relevant again. But I somewhat agree with the starters/legendaries.

      Reply
  9. I love the design of MegaBlaziken, but this must be fake. Yanmega’s Japanese name is literally called Megayanma, and when put with MegaBlaziken, MegaLucario, and the others, it doesn’t make any sense. I’m calling bs, although I really like it. 🙁

    Reply
      • Doesn’t it look like the pokemon we saw in the background of lumiouse city, that people thought was a gogoat pre-evolution.

        Reply
        • Mmm, not really. That one was super small, like the around the size of Mareep. This one appears to be the size of Flaaffy (based on the artwork), but the actual statistics of it’s height may actually disprove my theory.

          Reply
        • Maybe. Yet, look at this image. It looks like they just copied that and that art is similar to what a lot of people drew. Check out DeviantArt and search go-goat pre-evolution. You will find it. There all similar.

          Reply
          • That doesn’t mean anything. People based fanart on the Pokemon we saw in Lumiose. If it is indeed real, than it makes sense they would bear some similarity to the actual Pokemon.

    • I agree, the more I look at it, the more fake it seems. The rabbit and pika-clone are generic, the gogoat prevo is just the trailer one, and for some reason i’m pretty sure I’ve seen that mawile thing as an imagined evo somewhere. Besides, isn’t it a bit too early for a corocoro leak?

      Reply
  10. I love how everybody denies that things could be real when they don’t want it to be the case – like when the final gen V starter evolutions were leaked. Still…this does seem fishy. I mean, that Gogoat pre-evo looks suspiciously similar to fan art that I’ve seen before…

    Reply
  11. God, I really hope this is fake.
    Is like, Pokémon has officially became Digimon .-.
    Mega versions of previous pokémon, seriously?

    Reply
  12. I really hate the idea of ‘mega evolution’ it just doesn’t fit in with pokemon at all! more digimon kind of thing… if this turn out to be true i’m very disappointed

    Reply
  13. WAIT. Didn’t Pokemon confirm that Mewtwo had a new form. Awakened Mewtwo was its new form. Pokemon never said that Mewtwo will be evolving. It was a form change. Now this scan is truly fake. Also, if you see in the Movie Mewtwo switches its form. So, now this scan is 100% Fake. (This is the same post on JungleTalk, I’m just putting the info here)

    Reply
  14. Someone out there is laughing their butt off, whether it’s a Gamefreak/Nintendo employee or not has yet to be determined.

    Reply
  15. OMG 4the evolution line Mega evolution that’s so awesome
    Blaziken Lucario Ampharos and Absol all evolve through an evolution called Mega evolution this is the scoop of the century the Corocoro was talking about and OMG it’s so awesome

    Reply
  16. as i said in the previous thread: The pictures don’t match up if you look at them… in the pic with the
    gogoat pre evo and the rodent and bunny, you see “mega-absols”‘s
    paws…. but it was in the top section of the page.Plus there is a pic
    of game play that they didn’t show, but why? Yet another reason it is
    fake.

    Reply
  17. If this is real, that means they can Mega Evolve backwards since in Mewtwo Prologue episode, Mewtwo switches back and forth.

    Reply
  18. so apparently we have a gym leader that is the key to understanding mega-evolutions? i’m calling this super fake… Nice try though

    Reply
  19. Ugh I hate to say it but this is just plain awful! Messing with starter evos and chucking in random forms is just plain wrong. This is really bad imo why couldn’t they have just gave us that absol and Mawile and Absol evos?! The only thing good about this is the new cute pokemon revealed look awesome but they’re overshadowed by this awful mega rubbish 🙁

    Reply
  20. IDK….. the more images that show up, the more I’m inclined to believe it’s real. Either way I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.

    Reply
  21. Now that I think about it, the creators would never do something as illogical as this. As somebody mentioned below, it was already confirmed that Mewtwo is an Awakened form and it was demonstrated as such in the movie. Giving one of the starters a Megaevolution would also disrupt the continuity of the series. They would have to give Megaevolutions to every single starter to balance it out.

    Reply
  22. The fact that they called Mewtwo new form a form change before does not mean this scan is certainly fake. Mega-evolution des seem to be somewhere between form change and evolution. I still have my doubts, but we can’t say for sure it’s fake.

    Reply
  23. Maybe as a way for they inconsivable thinking of making 3 fire/fighting starters, they are making them mega evovled(now that I think about it that would be total bs)

    Reply
  24. A new image has appeared showing a Gym Leader on rollerskates, with a gameplay screenshot… The more images appear, the more legit this seems! If this is a fake, it may just be the best we’ve ever seen

    Reply
  25. If the Mega-Evolution thing is real, then I’m really dissapointed, cuz I was (and I think most of you, my fellow PokeTrainers) thinking that there are only max three stage evo and they could’ve better done this as a form change or they should’nt do it at all!

    Reply
    • From what it seems like (and I am totally against this, and I don’t think it’s real), when a pokemon (let’s say combusken) is holding a “mega stone” and levels up to 36+ it would evolve into MegaBlaziken (how mewtwo would go to MegaMewtwo though, I have no idea)

      Reply
  26. Guys, use your heads. If this is real, of course the Gogoat prevo will look like the fanart. They showed us the pokemon (in the trailer), then people made fanart to show people what it might look like. Now we have the official(maybe) art and it looks like the fanart because they are the same pokemon! (theoretically)

    Reply
  27. I don’t know what to believe anymore….Serebii is posting the screen shots and basically calling legit, people here are pointing out some good points against it……..it’s all just up in the air now……….!
    Edit: Yep now confirmed and my headache is going away lol

    Reply
  28. I just thought of something.
    Isn’t there a character limit on pokemon names (10 characters)
    So…it can’t be true b/c..
    MegaBlaziken = 12 characters.
    MegaAmpharos = 12 characters

    Reply
  29. mawile doesn’t need the mega-evolution. that’s stupid. what mawile needs is a real evolution and a more decent design than that of the mega one. -___-

    Reply
  30. Hey guys a special torchic is the first event it holds something called a “blaziken knight” to go mega, also they’re something called a mega stone. 🙁 🙂

    Reply
  31. If it is all real, it’ll be something we’ll all just have to get used to. We all may be hating now but pokemon is pokemon and I don’t plan on turning my back on it for any reason. Besides these mega things look incredible design-wise.

    Reply
    • incredible? yes megablaziken (but a fourth stage shouldnt have happened) mega lucario look great, but i am unimpressed by megamawile, ITS JUST GOT ANOTHER HEAD MOUTH THING and pink bits :(, megaabsol has an emo haircut and wings and megaamphiros just got a weave. i think it’s okay for us to not like what game freak decided to do, it’s almost unanimous and it’s all constructive criticism, not hate. sure we’ll get used to it, and i’ll certainly buy the game(maybe both), but i still think these mega god pokes were a mistake

      Reply
      • Don’t expect constructive criticism to last when talking abut pokemon. Try to point out any error or inconsistencies and one immediately gets flamed harder than Team Flare.

        Reply
    • You kidding? This is the Pokemon fanbase we are talking about. We are a highly reactionary bunch. Look at past reveals, Newtwo*or Mega Mewtwo* Sylveon and the growing realization we were going to be getting a new Type in Fairy. Thankfully we tend to mellow out after awhile.

      Reply
  32. many will hate this mega evolution but after awhile people will realize it not going anywhere and get use to in a year or so like many big changes in pokemon

    Reply
  33. I’m still playing x and y no matter what. Hey maybe theirs a mega archeus. That will be the most op Pokemon ever known

    Reply
  34. Site’s getting hammered. We have trouble updating. We’ll do our best though.
    Keep calm and don’t go hating Pokémon!

    Reply
  35. I do not like Mega evolution, this design feels very lazy. However, Koruni very good, she should be a fighting, or steel type Gym Leader

    Reply
  36. Well now that it’s confirmed I’m actually happy. Though I just hope it doesn’t make people turn against X and Y.

    And I wonder what other Pokemon will get this Mega Evolution ? I’d love to see a Sableye one 😀 If Mawile gets one so should Sableye 😛

    Reply
  37. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY…

    Really when i seen this i just lost it! Im not really sure if it is real or not, The scans look legit but the info seems like non sense. I did expect something a little out there, I remember watching the first trailer and on the Japanese one it had the DNA symbols… However i thought it would be limited to Mewtwo not Pokemon like Blazikin. I mean Mawile is a stand alone Pokemon why not just give it a evolution?
    As far as the new Pokemon… LOL one looks like a smaller ridiculous verson of riachu, the goat i expected and the design is not to bad, and the Rabat seems like its a Fakeamon. If this is real there goes my feelings for if not loving;liking all the new pokemon designs…

    Reply
  38. Well…look on the brightside…at least there isn’t a potato chip bag pokemon :D…Oh who am I kidding! This is horrible!

    Reply
  39. I think it’s kind of cool, in a way. When I was younger I used to draw what I would think the starters final evolution’s would look like if they received a new evolution stage… so the blaziken makes me excited. Also, it seems likely that if they do it for one starter, shouldn’t they do it for the other 14? Also, I love absol, and now it has sick looking wings, yes please. New things are bound to come with a game franchise that has been around for decades, so get used to it or don’t play it. I think it’s a sick concept and I want to see a charizard mega-evolution.

    Reply
  40. I’m laughing so hard at the people freaking out and making assumptions at something they know nothing about.

    I know Masuda pointed out on a radio show that the new Mewtwo thing was never referred to as a forme, I guess I know why now!

    Reply
  41. Damn it! I hate forms. I’m okay with it if they’re permanent. But all this form changing annoys me. The game needs to retain some simplicity… It’s a new idea, I don’t see it fitting well to a Pokemon game. It will become too complex, new stats forms, changing forms with various items… I don’t see why they couldn’t just be normal evos. I don’t mind a 4’stage starter line. But mega evolution, it just doesn’t sound that simple. I think Pokemon wantntonshow off the 3 Ds graphics,

    Reply
    • I’ve always felt the same, but these seem different, useful and cool. Usually forms just seem pointless and they don’t really make the Pokémon any better, just different. But these could give you an edge over the opponent if implemented well. But I do wonder how they’ll make it work… I’ve always liked the idea of having an extra stage too and not just 3.

      Reply
  42. Mods, this goes with the translation post you made here a few weeks ago. You know, the registered names by GameFreak.

    Reply
  43. Makes me laugh how nobody is really commenting about the awful new Pokemon also in this leak, it’s like GameFreak said “Lets give them a bunch of megapokemon to start a shit storm and maybe they won’t complain about the boring bunny and the fat baby pikachu”

    Reply
  44. I guess they decided to be lazy and instead of more new pokemon and older pokemon evolutions and pre-evolutions, they
    re going to release MegaEvolutions. But I will treat MegaMawile as a Mawile evo xDDD Now I need a Sableye One:)

    Reply
  45. Well, no harm done for me. And if it’s not a ripoff to digivolution, I appreciate Game Freak’s trying to be fresh and creative 🙂

    Reply
  46. everyone calm down1 gamefreak is trying new things is all and im sure they have a reasonable explanation… at least i hope…

    Reply
  47. i kinda hope this isn’t real 🙁 i don’t like that there is a FOURTH stage to these pokemon, and mawiles evo is barely any different! disappointing :/ i guess the blaziken and lucario ones are cool, but they were cool already

    Reply
  48. Clearly no one could make a fake corocoro cover… (sarcasm). Come one guys, it’s a little too early for a real leak, and serebii has made mistakes in the past (remember football-fish and koala-pansage?). Besides, mega absol’s image has bits on multiple scans, so in various areas of a same page. How is that possible?
    Mega-evolving pokemon like Absol or Mawile makes no sense).

    (Slowly begins weeping as he contemplates this horror to be real…)
    It seems my love of pokemon is more fragile than I thought, as I am reconsidering buying Y a little…

    Reply
  49. It would be funny if there was a Mega Meganium or Mega Yanmega. XD
    I still have my doubts about this being a good addition to the games. Well, gotta wait and see if they make good use of this feature or just screw it all up.
    Right now, it seems really unnecessary.

    Reply
  50. Haters, listen! Don’t forget that there are just SIX Mega Evolutions! How many Pokémon do we have again? About 750 after this generation. Don’t complain about it, just see it is a new form for certain Pokémon.

    Reply
  51. One thing that irks me is I don’t understand how an item can be called “Blaziken Knight”. I don’t even understand the concept…

    Reply
  52. If the item makes the Pokemon evolve at its normal level, then how will Absol evolve into MegaAbsol if there is no “regular” Absol evolution? Does that make sense?

    Reply
  53. If you can read this in all the comments you have a good eye, but anyway that rabbit is something I always wanted to own and its nice to see bunary have a bf. My heart went super wee when I seen that mouse/guinepig.

    Reply
    • haha, me either, so i’m gonna try and be open minded about this… my first reaction was “oh no this looks really stupid”, but the idea has grown on me a bit and I’m going to keep waiting for more information. besides, new pokemon news is always exciting, I’m hoping that there’s still more left for us to see.

      Reply
    • THEN GO HOME. The Pokemon world is always constantly changing, things from previous games like D/P/Pt/HG/SS had new features which you have now gotten used to.

      How is this gonna hurt?

      Reply
      • WHY he has to go home if he don’t like a thing in Pokemon. We’re not brainless creatures that appreciate and love everything. We have an ability to criticize and have an opinion about something. We’re human beings. Did he say I’m not playing Pokemon from now on? No. He just stated an opinion.

        Reply
  54. Welp, I absolutely love this. I never thought I’d be on board with something like this, but…well, I am. This is such a neat way to change up old pokemon! I really love the designs too. Ampharos…I mean…just look at those beautiful locks! He’s a rockstar.

    Reply
  55. I’m so eager to learn how this will work! What will their stats be like? Will it be a reversible change like formes? Will there be version exclusives? Will they be banned form competitive playing like legendaries? So many questions!

  57. All you haters listen up. I’m gonna say this now, and I’m only saying it once. When I saw these mega evolutions, I got 10 times more excited for these games, because unlike all of you, I am a true fan of pokemon. Pokemon are pokemon are pokemon. I’m not saying you have to like every design, but we no next to nothing about this new concept. Give all the hating a rest. And if this truly does make you not want to play pokemon anymore, than you were never really a fan to start with

    Reply
    • Everywhere that “Mega evolution” is written, the text is rainbow colored. Certainly matches the DNA in the japanese logo, the DNA in the protagonists bracelets and the DNA above Mega Mewtwo in the most recent trailer (which looking now probably was a “mega evolution” scene in the middle of battle).

      Reply
  58. I’m cool with this. Once the initial shock passed, honestly, I’m fine with this. The Mega Evolutions we’ve seen thus far are badass, and I’m looking forward to seeing what MegaWeezing looks like.

    Reply
  59. My thoughts as a whole:
    I like the looks of the megas,
    How will this work and affect gameplay?
    How many megas will there be? (My main worry is that it will take away from the final evolutions of new pokemon, if it happens to any from gen 6)
    Will we get less new pokemon as a result?
    I am reaaaally looking forward to getting my hands on X this October! Love the mega blaziken and mawile.

    Overall: I have trust in gamefreak, I think the games will be enjoyable no matter what. Pokemon needs to change, maybe we will all/most end up enjoying megas?
    Also, I think that the megas will be reversible, maybe. Although that would involve the stones being a hold item…

    Reply
    • if so then that’s exciting, but it’s too dark to tell whether or not that’s just a part of some other picture, like a part of megaabsol or something (also dang the main thing that bothers me about these is their names, I’m gonna accept them and they’ll probably end up being cool but I wish they didn’t just have ‘mega’ tacked onto their original names, but oh well)

      Reply
  60. Please keep in mind that these are OPTIONAL! It’s there for people to explore and it won’t hurt giving it a try. Yes, there bound to be similarities between games in the same genre such as Digimon, but I personally love these because they are Pokemon, the ones I grew up with.

  62. Guys, mega-evolution is not necessarily a evolution per se. You can only do it during battle. I’m suspecting you hold it like an eviolite.

  63. I don’t see why people are hating on this so much, it’s an interesting idea and I for one can’t wait to see it utilized. This fanbase needs to stop being so against change, seriously.

  64. I would have loved the Mega Pokemon thing IF they didn’t include the starter pokemon. But come on, has it really come to a point where a normal evolution just doesn’t cut it anymore? I have loved every reveal so far, except this. :/

  65. I love this, something to make my prev. Pokémon worth using again and having fun.
    I think that it is good we are getting something diff and new. and I love the absol one the best

  68. Blaziken, Mawile, Absol all getting MegaEvos… At least this will add an awesome mechanic to the eventual Gen III remakes!

    Reply
  69. One thing that I’ll definitely love about these Mega Pokemon will be the intricate designs (especially now that they’re 3D)
    Have to say when I saw these on Serebii, I was excited and actually gasped because of how epic these look (even though they’re only on paper)
    Tbh, I do think this fan base is extremely whiny, I’m one of those fans that accepts everything GameFreak will do because like pokemon, they’re just trying to evolve and come up with fresh new ideas to keep everybody entertained

    Reply
    • Yeah I agree, this should be pretty interested. Just as long as Pokemon stays approachable to new fans (ie. it doesn’t get super complicated), I’m happy 🙂

      Reply
    • is anyone else disappointed with mawiles? i mean it just got an extra mouth and pink bits? 🙁 not intricate or different really

      Reply
    • You think the pokemon community is whiny? This is tame compared to the metal community XD But I’m astounded by this development. It’s new, kind of cool and has made me actually want to have a Mawile.

      Reply
    • Many fans are stuck in the past but can be sadly louder than us rational fans. That’s why us fans have to stick together and make our voices heard. 🙂

      Reply
    • Dude, I’m glad that you enjoy them, but don’t say that the fan base is whiny and doesn’t accept GameFreak’s choices. Believe me when I say that I am as big a Pokemon fan as they come. I own all of the games and play them all the time, know most everything there is to know, and love the hell out of it, but I’m skeptical of this. I’m still going to buy and love X and Y, however this is a confusing move. If they only do Blaziken, that will be a mistake, because it unbalances everything. They are favoring one of the starters which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the point of starters is. It’s supposed to be picking the on you like most from 3 equals, and if this doesn’t come to all the other starters then it is like GameFreak is trying to make Torchic the most unique and coolest. With that said, I don’t want to see a Charizard mega-evolution because Charizard is my favorite. If there is something above Charizard in the same line, then it is almost insulting (almost) to Charizard.
      I guess what I’m saying is that skepticism is natural, and saying that people who are not fully on board yet are “whiny” and not as accepting as you, and insinuating to the fullest extent that they are below you is totally uncalled for and rude. And if that makes me not a “true Pokemon fan” as people have been saying, then sue me.

      I apologize for taking this all out on you, haha. It just seems like everyone who is commenting is saying “If you aren’t fully on board, you are wrong.”

      Reply
      • Imagine this, though: Charizard losing his hindering flying-type, then gaining his well-deserved dragon-type through MegaEvolution. Also, a Water/Steel MegaBlastoise would sound pretty boss, too, no? And the “less-desirable” starter evos (from a competitive point of view), like Meganium or Samurott or Typhlosion. MegaMeganium, Grass/rock or grass/bug, MegaSamurott, Water/Fighting, MegaTyphlosion, Fire/Ground… Wouldn’t that be awesome?

        Reply
        • I’ve become more on board with the idea as we’ve learned more about it, and yes, a grass/bug MegaMaganium would be really cool. But why on Earth would Meganium be grass/rock? Haha, and Typhlosion Fire/Ground? umm… Yes, adding better types would be cool, but I just had to disagree with the ones you suggested, sorry.

          It would be awesome, assuming they are fair and do it to all of the starters. Just imagine if they made Mega Charizard and Mega Blastoise…. but didn’t make Mega Venusaur, That is my biggest concern. It wouldn’t really be fair and it takes out the fun in starters, being you can pick your favorite and they have the same total stats and none are favored in the game.

          For that matter, I wish they would give ALL Pokemon mega-evolutions, because it makes the ones that don’t get mega-evos less desirable than the ones that do. I know that some pokemon are better stat wise, but in game that would never stop me from using, say Altaria. However, Mega-evolution is clearly a feature that I’m going to wants to use, and if Altaria doesn’t get one that it makes her lame in comparison. I don’t know, I’m excited, but I see a good chance that GameFreak will start playing favorites if that makes sense.

          Sorry for the late and long reply lol

  70. Well this is kinda weird.. I’m not necessarily against mega evolutions, but I don’t think blaziken, lucario, or ampharos really need them. And mega lucario looks like it was fused with giratina.

  71. okay. come to think of it, it’s just alright. now i’m all okay with this. a little change wouldn’t hurt. well, if you don’t want them, then don’t use them. 🙂

  73. when i first saw this i was in total shocked wishing that they were fake. but now that i calmed down i see that this system has potential. it is not worth quitting pokemon for. at the end of day it is still the same pokemon when you think about. it may take months for people to get use to this but with this system pokemon has got more interesting. people who say they won’t buy the game because of this most like will buy it. it sad people are getting upset and treating to leave pokemon because more pokemon are getting more forms.

  75. It’s the first time that I comment on a Pokemon themed website, but I’ve always been checking Serebii, Poke Jungle, etc. And, well, I’m disappointed with this for many reasons!

    First for a “big scoop” the information was too small!

    Second, I really enjoyed Mewtwo’e new form because I really like Giratina and although I like “MegaLucario” I think that the concept is stupid because it drives away from what Pokemon is! I love all generations and I was enjoying this new generation because it was starting to be pretty awesome, but now with this new feature it’s just plain stupid!

    This information is stupid because I’m a huge Pokemon fan and I’ve been following the Pokemon franchise almost since the beginning and I’m all in favor of new ideas, but this disregards many things that should have been done!

    Gamefreak should star listening to some of the fans ideas!

  84. Now I’m okay with Mega-Pokemon. There only used in battle! Hopefully Pokemon has a way to make it even! Like the “MegaStone” can only be used up to 5 times, then it breaks or something. It will be even better if you are given only 1 per game. Yet, I would say the designs are really cool (: I still think it is unnecessary. Yet, change is something everyone has to get used to. (:

  87. I still cling to the hope it’s all a hoax, but it seems more and more legit. I’ve actually liked mawile and absol’s evos from the start, I just abhor, detest and wish hell upon the god-awful concept of “mega”-evolution. Blaziken was truly perfect as he was. Mewtwo’s forme was good enough as “awakened”. I was kinda hoping for a lucario evo, but this is just too similar, with no intelligent evolution towards the discreet egptian inspiration, and just crappy pimping that makes it look it had baggy jeans and a dinosaur aesthetic added. Absol and Mawile have no benefit to reap from being bagged with perfectly fine, fully fledged pokemon as victims of a concept that gamefreak knows makes the pokemon too different to be forms and too similar to be evos (except for mawile and absol), and is also probably too scared to call evos because it messes with the 3-stage evolution idea.

    Despite my initial love of what had been revealed for this generation and my high hopes for the game, it seems gamefreak has decided to take a long, hard dump on my dreams (sorry for being crude, but that’s exactly how I picture it) and to hand over creative decisions to a 5-year old who thought 3-stage evolution wasn’t enough and pokemon needed to copy Digimon’s OTT design choices.

    I was looking forward to exploring Kalos’s fields, but now I’m just lost in a dark void. Thinking of pokemon now has a disgusting afterthought of the horror that has just been commited in my view. Maybe it’s time I moved on from pokémon to something that has minimum standards of consistency and doesn’t take creative risks of this magnitude. If wanting a shred of consitency means I’m not a real fan, then so be it.
    Now all that needs to happen is for Steven Moffat to mess up doctor who’s 50th and my too favourite things will be wrecked before christmas.

    EDIT: Seriously, dislikes? I’m not insulting anyone, just stating how I feel about this.
    Can not one of you answer in an intelligent fashion to tell me why they think I’m wrong and overreacting? Or are you offended by my crude imagery ? (in which case, get a life).

    Reply
    • That’s where different people disagree, I never liked blaziken as a design… I loved torchic but ended up with mudkip since I preferred all of its evolutions as a whole. This mega form blaziken though? I love it! I would finally have a blaziken on my team just to have it go mega. It just appeals to me more. Maybe you will like some of the other megas, if there are some. We really don’t know much yet!

      Doctor who is one thing that is not consistent at all 😛 I have high hopes for the 50th though, and the new doctor is awesome. But I’m getting off topic here!

      Reply
      • Yeah, Doctor Who, isn’t very consistent, that’s very,true, but one could say it’s consistent in it’s own inconsitency. Pokemon was pretty consistent though, and this flies in the face of its consistency. Adding pseudo fourth-stages, legendary evolution, and depriving Absol and Mawile of real evos to benefit this strange concept is blasphemy as I see it. Is Evee the only one to be safe from the depriving of previous gen pokemon of real evolutions?
        Also, Mega”insert pokemon here”? Really? That’s soooo imaginative >:'(.
        I don’t exactly dislike the megas in themselves, I think they all look pretty cool, I’m just disgusted by the concept. For, example, I don’t mind Megalucario, I just wished lucario had been given a properly different evo instead of being needlessly tampered with.

        Reply
        • I see what you are saying now 🙂 I really want to know more about how the mega-form-lutions affect the actual stats etc, how much of an advantage they give. I think it will all end up relying on how it feels in-game, maybe it will work, maybe it will feel slightly out of place.

          Are they confirmed to be called ‘mega’ in English? I see what you mean there too, it does feel a bit strange to have a generic prefix in pokemon. Also glad you like the actual designs. It is a good point though, it is a shame if we have missed out on actual evolutions because of this, although I like the redesigns too.

          Basically, at the moment I am cautiously optimistic. We really need some official updates now!

          Reply
    • It is a love/hate thing and there will be pros and cons, but I do think it adds another layer to the strategy and will make useless/forgotten Pokémon relevant again (assuming more Pokémon get megalutions). There is a lot to like about in Pokémon games and a lot of great stuff coming in X&Y. You shouldn’t let one feature get in the way of your enjoyment 🙂

      P.S. Dislikes are supposed to be for people who disagree with your opinion, nothing personal.

      • I’m pretty sure I wil buy Y, and that I will warm up to all this, but for now, the mega-evolution concept still riles mes. Oh, and about dislikes, I happen to go on another disqus using site where they are very much frowned upon, and this despisal has rubbed off on me. You’ve got to agree dislikes don’t promote harmony or intelligent conversation :).

        • That’s fair enough it always takes time to get used to new things. Pokémon has always progressed slowly, so this is quite a major shake up and us fans weren’t prepared.

  92. Wait does this mean since Blakizen got a Mega evolution does that mean all the other starters will get Mega evolutions? And I’m kinda mixed about the Mega evolutions. On one hand Absol and Mawile get the evolutions we wanted and I’m really excited about them, but on the other hand why did they give one to Blaziken, Lucario and Ampharos who are already really strong and good pokemon. Especially Blaziken and Ampharos who are already the 3rd stage in their lines. I really hope that Farfetch’d and Dunsparce and some other pokemon get these as well because they need it the most, while Blaziken, Lucario and Ampharos really don’t. However I will admit this is a really big scoop, that they said would be coming in this issue and it’s the perfect thing for GameFreak to do to screw with our heads, cause now I have literally no idea what to expect now. Also the designs are really good for these Mega evolutions save Ampharos but I’ll get used to it.

  93. I can’t believe people are complaining. I guess people want to play the same old concept every game. I think mega evolutions add a new twist and allows pokemon that was useless a new advantage in battles now, instead of trying to link a new evolution to a old pokemon(Not saying its anything wrong with it). I hope its more and not just these six

    Reply
    • I disagree for one main reason. It’s not that we want the same old concept, but all these form changes and so called “mega evolutions” are really getting quite boring an annoying. I’d rather have new Pokemon compared to new forms.

      • You just contradicted yourself lol you basically saying you want the same old concept. By that way pokemon would have been ended. Its nothing wrong with adding a new concept to a game

        • How did I possibly contradict myself? I said all these new forms and evolution are getting annoying, implying that I want CHANGE from all these stupid forms that quite honestly nobody ever really uses. If I wanted the same old concept then I would have been for these new forms or evolutions. Let’s be honest, who really uses resolute keldeo, sky form shaymin, the therian forms, and any other form of pokemon whether it is a legendary or not? Most people stick to the originals. These forms and all this junk really need to stop.

          Reply
          • You’re not saying you want CHANGE. You are saying you want the old concept back(i.e. release a batch of new pokemon, older pokemon get new evo or pre-evo). You even implying that NO ONE uses these pokemon.

          • Just because I say that I don’t want any more forms doesn’t mean that I want the old format back. Variety is needed or else the games get boring. And I don’t consider mega evolutions to be vastly different from forms,they give stat boosts and change the appearance of the Pokemon. This is simply adding forms and calling it something different. When gamefreak actually adds something DIFFERENT, then I will be excited for change. This, my friend, is not change.

          • lol How do you know they give stat boost?!?!?. How else do you think they could possible change Pokemon?!?!? What else do you want from gamefreak? Enlighten me. NO one saw this coming, and its completely different from forms. You making a pointless argument and haven’t even provided what else can they do to change pokemon. You want them to just add regular evolutions? You want them to use Day/Night to make were wolf type pokemon?!?! If Pokemon stayed to the old style. Most likely people WOULD still be complaining about them not adding anything new.

          • Ok, I barely understood what you just said. But did you seriously just ask me how I know that the mega evolutions will give stat boosts to Pokemon? What’s it gonna do then? Make them weaker? Because that makes a lot of sense. And it’s not gonna keep their stats the same, because what would be the point of adding them in the first place? What do I want from gamefreak? A great Pokemon game with some actual change. Fairy type was a good change, reusable tm’s was a good change, heck, even the very beginning of forms was good change (Giratina). But giving tons of Pokemon form changes is NOT a good idea AT ALL.

  94. mega evolution could serves as in battle evolution that people have been wanting.
    think about when your pokemon is backed in a corner than BOOM mega evolution. it would add a lively twist in battle and give pokemon consider lower tier a chance to fight.

  100. I honestly think you’ll need the two items to get the Mega, Blaziken Knight? I think your Blaziken has to hold the “Blaziken Knight” item and then you can use the megastone on it and then AND only then does it evolve into MEGA Blaziken. IE you need both items to get him.

Lucario I love and its new evo looks as beastly as it should, I was wishing that they would give it an evo to fully unleash it’s awesome! I can hardly believe GF has given Ampharos the evolution that it deserved! Absol are they the wings that I have always dreamed of (faints).

I definitely didn’t see the Mega Evolution coming and thought Mewtwo new form was just that a new form. Can’t wait to see what else is coming and hope not just these six have the Mega-Evolution(Come on Dunsparce)

    I also hope that new electric/fairy type pokemon have a evo. The last 3 mouse Pokemon haven’t got no love when it come to evo(Emolga didn’t need that anyway)

  107. The idea of a mega evoloution is very clever, and noone saw it coming! The new pokemon are becoming more animal like again (as it was in gen 1). X and Y is becoming one of the best generations yet even without playing the game. Nicely done game freak

  109. If this scan was a hint to what types of pokemons would get mega-lutions, then stand-alone mons (Mawile, absol), mons with duo evo stages (lucario), mons with three evo stages (ampharos), starters (blaziken) and possibly legendaries (mewtwo). BEAST!!

  113. I love Pokemon to the death, but I don’t like this at all. In all honesty, I don’t see a difference between mega evolutions and form changes. They change the appearance of a Pokemon while changing it’s stats. Sure, it’s only in battle, but it’s essentially the same thing. Think of it this way, it’s like taking a chicken, painting it brown, and you throw it in the water and call it a duck. When in reality, it’s still a chicken. Mega evolutions are essentially the same thing as forms. And if you can’t tell by now, I really hate new forms.

    Reply
  114. In my opinion, this Mega-Evolution thing seems to be cool but bland at the same time. I call it bland because the idea that Pokemon in the universe use stones to achieve their highest potential goes well with the evolutionary-theory along with many others. And finally, we get the Pikachu rip-off of the Kalos region and our rodent-mammalian Pokemon. This certainly adds to the hype so I hope this is not all that we’re getting.

    • At the same time, this seems to be going along with X&Y concept of chromosomes ,. The Mega Evolution just may be a mutation, as its different from form changes.

      • For me, it’s not that I won’t buy the games, it’s just that it pains me to think of them now. My previous dream of walking through Kalos, discovering new pokémon, and eventually finding out and obtaining the evolutions of, pokemon like mawile, lucario and absol is dead and buried. Now I will walk through Kalos knowing they will never properly evolve, and encoutering a mechanic that I despise and that for me damages the franchise. It’s like the game is contaminated, in a way.

        I know I will probably warm up to them in the end, but to be honest I
        wince when I think Lucario, Absol and Mawile will lack the evolution they deserve (there megas being evos in absol and mawile’s case, a buffed up anubis and not a baggy-wearing dinosaur-wolf in lucario’s case).

  119. Now that I think about this Mega evolution more and more…Maybe Pokemon-Amie has something to do with this and the friendship levels..This is sort of like evolution and de-evolution :/ Maybe there is like a meter for each Pokemon or some Pokemon and when the meter is full it becomes a Mega(Insert name here)?

  120. MEGA EVOLUTIONS!!!!????

    This is so shocking. This so sudden. This so unexpected. This is so strange. This is so… delicious.
    Now I know Sapphire will appear in the Gen. VI arcs of the Pokémon SPECIAL/Adventures manga just to showcase MegaBlaziken, because Hidenori Kusaka likes to show every Pokémon, form, and move, even if he has to resort to gratuitious appearances. And if she appears, then there’s enough reason to bring everyone else along, and we’ll get a Dex Holder reunion where Saque (Sird) will finally be defeated by everyone together.

  121. Im going to put my money on Dedenne, the Electric/Fairy-type evolving into a new version of Raichu or Mega Raichu in the end. This is GameFreaks big chance to finally tweak that evolution line slightly without some fans being up in arms about it 🙂 I personally would love if this evolved into a Mega Raichu as, IMO Raichu’s design is just not as appealing to me as Pikachu’s 🙂

    • This is GF way of letting previous Pokemon from older Gen’s have a new evolution while at the same time, not letting them have one. If you get what I mean.

      Reply
          • Exactly, GF took a step in the right direction here. Pokemon has always had the triangular based set up. Battling, trading and collecting. Now Evolving comes into play to make it a solid square.

            This feature, is probably one of GF’s best yet.

          • Yet, remember Mega Evolution is more like a form! It is not a true evolution! For example (I believe this is true) before a battle you give Blaziken the Blazikenite (a Type of MegaStone) before a battle. You get into a Wild Battle/Trainer Battle! Then Blaziken will change form into its MegaForm. Then you get to use MegaBlaziken! I think that is how it will work! What do you think?

          • IMO they should put them together with the Ubers but change the name ‘Uber’ ‘cos these Pseudo-evolutions would kind of ruin how Uber works, Uber typically consists of legendaries with large movepools and high stats.

          • I don’t care too much if Mewtwo and Blaziken get megaevos, but can’t you understand why I think Mawile and Absol being given mega-evos instead of real ones is idiotic and superfluous? Also, why the hate? Am I disrespecting your opinion? No, I’m stating mine. No need to call upon my doom.

  128. So now that Mega Pokemon are here, it got me thinking.

    What with the DNA splicers in B2/W2, I wonder if we will get a MegaKyurem with it’s original forme combined with both Reshiram and Zekrom.

    That would be sweet.

  131. Well… this is interesting.

    You know… Not like it suggested THIS, but all the official stuff was VERY careful to never say MegaMewtwo, as it were, was just a forme change. Actually, got me thinking, that animation we saw where Mewtwo was ‘breaking’ out of something. Could that be the change into this new state?

  134. I love this new Mega Pokémon concept its fantastic. HOWEVER we all must still worship the normal Arceus as it might get jealous of Mega Arceus and then a new Pokémon War will occur (exactly 200 years after the first Pokémon War ) Thus spiltting the Pokémon world in two, Opening the Distortion World causing Giratina to rampage, Which disrupts Dialga and Palkia, who travel back to this time and space and there battle begins once again. This tears apart the earth to such an extent that Groudon and Kyogre re-awaken to recreate the land and sea’s. Resulting in their battle once again resuming for dominance over earth. Rayquaza will descend from the O-zone layer to Quell the fighting but on the way down see’s a deoxys on its way to the Polar Ice caps, and thus makes it its mission to destroy deoxys once and for all. This chain of events and battles will lead to the extinction of the Human Race so please, Worship normal Arceus and spare us all its terrible wrath.

  135. Some people are suggesting that every pokémon evolution line gets a Mega-upgrade.

          • Maybe! I like MegaPokemon, but I want GameFreak to “nerf” them so they wouldn’t be to powerful! There like super-charged versions of the regular evolution! I think the “MegaStone” will break after a certain amount of usage! Yet, it is a cool idea!

          • I’m starting to warm up to the idea. I hope they don’t break after a certain amount of time because I want my MegaLucario! It would really up the difficulty of the game if they do break. Mega stones should last forever because what if they are rare? 😛

          • Maybe! Yet, the Leaker deleted some of his post. So the info has the possibility of being fake. Yet, we have to wait till August 12 when Pokemon + CoroCoro + GameFreak officially show the “Scoop of the Century”.

        Reply
  144. Going back to the original idea about having to utilize two items. I think Blaziken will have to be holding one item (Blaziken Knight) and then in battle the “Mega Stone” will be used to turn him into MEGABalziken. If done this way it could balance whatever Stat increases it would get. Since you would have to sacrifice the item you use and one turn in battle. Ofcourse this might be too much and render them all gimmicky and semi-usless if they phase you out, but it could be a risk/reward type of thing.
    Ofcourse this is just speculation but honestly it would be one of the few ways these could be utilized without being totally OP. Then again pokemon like Mawlie would still be kinda weak even after you got it to the MEGA stage. Then after battle you’d get your normal Mawlie again.

    Reply
  145. I think I can see why GF did this. Maybe they’re giving mega forms to
    pokémon they feel don’t need evolutions, but are still popular amongst
    the fans and need a little extra boost. Plus, if this is just a
    temporary effect, maybe they did because of the criticism alot of Gen IV
    evos like Electivire and Magmortar received, so this way they won’t be
    permanent conditions

    Blaziken and Lucario are a different story all together though. I think
    that, if anything, giving them mega forms is just eye candy (since
    they’re two of the most popular and powerful pokémon in the meta games),
    so it’d attract the majority of the fans to try the megas out and then
    lean into the pokémon that aren’t as powerful or cool (ie- Ampharos,
    Mawile, Absol)

  147. Where does the “in-battle only” come in? To me that’s just WAY to gimmicky, even for GF. I’m mainly perturbed by this because I really want actual evolutions/alternate forms of Mawile and Absol and some other Pokemon and not just have it activate randomly in battle. To me that’s just beyond stupidity.

  148. Since Blaziken recieved a Mega-Evolution, I hope for May to return for at least like 12 episodes of the new series and tell Ash all about Mega-evolution and how her Blaziken Mega-evolved. Then, I wish for Sceptile to make his new-series debut and battle with Mega-Blaziken but he loses and he becomes really saddens by it so Ash and him try to find a stronger part of him then, the gym leader girl appears and upon finding out about Sceptile, she gives Ash the stone and Sceptile Mega-evolves. I wish for that to happen. 😀

  149. “Mega Evolutions are only accessible during battle”
    I REALLY hope this isn’t a gimmicky thing like Darmanitan Zen Mode lol. I wonder if it is sort of a set up move to activate Mega Evolution (like Relic Song on Meloetta changes its form?) Or maybe the item activates during battle like Toxic or Flame Orb. Either way this looks awesome and OP as hell. The new forms of Blaziken and Lucario look badass. SO excited.

        • Its not going to be like that! For example! Blaziken gets its own stone which is called that Blazikenite. Then it becomes its MegaForm during battle! So, each Pokemon gets there own stone. I’m just waiting for August 12 for the info to be given world-wide.

          Reply
  150. I’m not a competitive battler by any means, but I really like these Mega Evolutions only being accessible through a held item in battle. Basically, you’re giving up using another held item like say, focus sash, and in return your Pokemon gets a different form and likely better stats. It definitely has potential to give lesser Pokemon a better chance in battle. And I would hope all the starters get these Mega Evolutions.

    Reply
  151. There’s over a thousand comments how am I supposed to read the half of these and there still coming wow. I for one kinda like the mega thing as long as its only some pokemon. I feel team flare wants this to force the pokemon to be stronger than their already fully evolved forms to show what they could’ve become, i think the story for x and y will be great and really creative. Can’t wait for x and y but were are the other pages should they not be leaked by now?an where’s the potato chips?

    Reply
  152. Since Pokemon can only enter Mega-mode while in battle, I’m guessing Mega-Pokemon will have OP stats and over-all better move-sets along with the competitiveness of CP, maybe, just maybe they will get band. Or it just turns out that the power-level on the Pokemon become much greater and what used to be the best tiers turn back to watch the Mega-Pokemon Rise.

  153. So I wonder if these megaevolutions count as new pokemon, because I imagine there will be more of them but really they aren’t new pokemon, just new forms kind of… They won’t appear in the pokedex right?

    Reply
    • Seeing as it kind of appears that they are still kind of the original Pokemon, in terms that MegaAbsol is in fact still an Absol, it probably would be viewed in the Pokedex under them. Though, there is the possibility they could put in a Mega-Dex area, that only has them.

  154. alright, i’ll be the one to say it. i would have strongly prefered if we got actual evolutions of absol and mawile and split evo for ampharos. not ‘mega evolutions’ which only last during battle.

    i will get used to it

    • Yea! I wanted to see that! Not really MegaEvolutions, it was really unexpected. Hopefully MegaEvoltions turn out to be fake and Absol and Mawile get the evolutions they need! Yet, if it is real I would have to get used to it and it wouldn’t be much of a problem! We just all have to wait for August 12!

  155. The Pokemon currently shown has such a random assortment, I find a vague pattern telling us all kinds of Pokemon may get mega-lutions e.g.
    A Starter Evo: Blaziken
    A Pokemon that could have had better stats: Absol
    A Pokemon that could’ve had better stat allocation: Ampharos
    A Legendary: Mewtwo
    A Pokemon that desperately needed an evolution: Mawile
    A Pokemon thats already strong enough but can be improved a bit: Lucario

    Reply
  156. Reading through other Pokemon sites just to gather what everyone is thinking of this, and somebody on Serebii forums made a great point imo. Basically, because GameFreak introduced the Eviolite, they need to be cautious about which Pokemon get new evolutions. So they introduce Mega Evolutions. Now let’s say a Pokemon like Snorlax gets one of these Mega Evolutions, Snorlax doesn’t then become a broken, bulky Chansey on Eviolite.

  158. Me likey that these Megalutions are something that anyone can miss or ignore. Blazikenitittite stone is distrubuted, yeah! Not real evolution but like form change, yeah! And the fact they have given a name to that stone makes me think that there is not so much megatites in game.

    Reply
  159. I think this is an interesting concept and I’m glad they’re trying to make the new games less formulaic than the previous entries in the series. HOWEVER I have two (small) problems with this (based on the information we have so far).

    Certain Pokemon could have really used a REAL evolution (Absol and Mawile come to mind) and others did not need to get any more powerful than they already were (Blaziken and Mewtwo for example). Otherwise just feel like fan-service for the sake of fan-service (Lucario). None of this will prevent me from buying the game, but it seems a little odd…

    But the real issue that bugs me (at least right now) is the matter of WHO gets these new Mega Evolutions? I’m sure there will be more than the few revealed here, but unless they make it fair the game is going to feel very unbalanced. If this starter gets one but not this other starter, how is that going to make players feel when starting the game? If this Pokemon who already has a three-stage evolution gets a Mega form but this other one who doesn’t evolve at all gets nothing how is that fair?

    Example – Mewtwo gets a Mega forme but what about the other legendaries? Are they not special enough? Will ALL legendaries get a Mega form or only specific ones? What are their criteria for who gets one? Popularity? Same with the starters – Blaziken gets one…. so does that mean Sceptile and Swampert get one too or will they content with favouring some starter over others? Imagine if your friend’s starter has the ability to Mega evolve but yours doesn’t just because Gamefreak didn’t think they were popular enough – doesn’t seem fair.

    I hope they prove me wrong, but the effort of creating Mega Evolutions for at least all the starters thus far would be a lot of work so I’m worried that they’re going to be lazy (like they were with “Combination Attacks” which went absolutely NO WHERE). 🙁

    Reply
      • When they were first revealed I was quite excited. Super excited actually. But instead of having an oath move for every type we found out later that only Fire, Grass, and Water had one and we also found out later that only the three starters could use them. How often do you have the three starters on your team? Like ever?

        Don’t get me wrong, I love the Pokemon games and I’m buying them anyway – I’ve just been disappointed by their half-baked approach to new features before. HeartGold and SoulSilver made TONS of progress with menu usability and shortcuts and they were all abandoned with the next games in the series. Same with the Pokemon following you – why did they remove it?! 🙁

        Reply
    • I’m almost positive that it will be a stat redistribution rather than the base stat increasing. Because I believe mewtwo will retain it’s 680 base stat

    Reply
  163. I am 19 years old and never before have been excited about games before. Since these are temporary and only during battle, many people can relax as there is no “4th evolution”. I Think these could play out in battle as far as having the same base stats, just switched around. (Imagine a MegaShuckle being more offensive and less defensive or a Mega/All Starters that differ from their initial stats, yet maintain there BASE STAT TOTAL.)

    Also, BLAZIKENITE!!!

    EDIT: Just imagine Mega/Psuedo Legendaries.

  170. Hold on now. Im seeing some people saying that this a lazy excuse to add Pokemon and features to Pokémon X and Y. These games are by far the furthest thing from laziness. There has been HUGE effort put into this game and they have given us fans so much. There is a point where they cant give anymore in one go in a short space of time, and then you call them lazy ? There saying they love Pokémon and are buying the games. Then show respect aswell !!! Theres TONS of new features and gameplay, 3d graphics, new evolutions, Pokémon Amie, new pokemon, new forms, new , new, new. This is by far the most amazing Pokémon game IMO so far. So its not fair at all that you call this lazy. Some people are coming across as a spoilt fan’s who just keep wanting more, well guess what ? You will get more but be respectful and patient.
    Thankfully the majority of us fans here are not like this at all. If we all stick together we can drown out people making ridiculous comments like this 😀

          • Theres no point arguing with you, you cannot appreciate this so im not wasting my time explaining that this is a good thing to you.

          • I don’t argue, I give facts and try to help people understand something, im in no way trying to be a jerk, so if I come across as one, please know that’s not my intention.

          • And also I felt really disturbed when you called me immature because I have never told anyone that his or her comment is ridiculous.

          • Nah im good, you obviously were not thaught manners telling people to back off giving threats over the computer haha. And judging by your other comments your a failed troll. Ok off you pop now, annoy someone else for a while 😛

          • Dude.. I’m thinking the Exact same thing about you, Except I have more proof to prove your a troll based on all that you have said here. You didn’t seem to have a problem earlier when Someone said they agreed with you on something else.. All they said was that they agree with you and you were so happy about it and did not ask for an explanation! But when someone disagrees with you, you feel threatened… get offline for a little amount of time Please. you need fresh air to help you think better obviously =/

          • Actually he said he agrees with me + more. And Your talking nonsense now, have a little look through my comments and the amount of people that have responded positively to my open mindedness. So next time you accuse me of being a troll you might want to ask some other regulars on the site, who will Prove Im not. So until then unless you have an accurate comment or want a civilised conversation about the Great new features introduced today then, there is no need for you to reply. Have a nice day 🙂

          • Actually he said more After you praised him for agreeing with you, Your not a very likable person online it… well when it comes to “debates” you act like a child who has never heard of the word.. I will allow you to waste no more of my time. Go get an education and learn to value other peoples views and know that your thoughts and opinions are not always right.. this is Just Pokémon after all.. if you can’t do that here then.. where can you? How sad =/

          • Haha oh dear, another loser troll. I feel sorry for your parents they must not have thaught you to be civil, respectful and not resort to childishness. ” Go get an education ” Please, as it can be seen from ALL my comments on this site, I value all opinions, please return under your bridge and stay there until you bring something to this conversation that is both relevant and civil. Also as for your comment about me not being likeable, that’s your opinion, however fact proves I am a likeable person. I have even made friends on this site with people I have never met before due to us having adult conversations and having a good time, sadly unlike trolls like you who cant appreciate a good thing to happen to Pokémon. Good day 🙂

  173. I’m surprised no one has been bringing up what the new abilities are shaping up to be. Mega Absol getting Magic Bounce, adding yet another person to dissuade Stealth Rocks *I wonder if that’ll be a trend* Mega Mawile having Huge Power, meaning it’s likely to get a nice attack boost regardless of how the stats pan out. Then Lucario has Adaptability… Meaning 2x STAB, instead of 1.5. And coming off of something that’s actually dangerous, that is simply brutal.

  174. I am actually really loving these but it is all a bit Digimon remeniscant…

    Like when you thought MetalGreymon was amazing then suddenly “Agumon WARP digivolve” (screen breaks) WHAT?!? W..War Greymon?

    I mean someone that doesnt read into the news and leaks is gonna freak when their Blaziken suddenly evolves mid battle lol

  175. Chou Badassu Modo confirmed.

    Five of the new “Mega Evolutions” also appear to draw inspiration from one or more legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo resembles Mew due to the immense weight and height loss. Absol gains wings and appears to be influenced by Reshiram, note the initial Absol design having Yin and Yang as possible design element. The color change of Blaziken is reminiscent of Yveltal, while the new sideburns of Lucario look like the tentacles of the legendary Giratina. Ampharos’ new typing and ability can be interpreted as a parallel to Zekrom or even Reshiram. Mawile however, is … well … you know … inspired by …

    This is of course wacky speculation with little to no but likely not even near sufficient foundation. After initial rage over the name, i quickly remembered that “Mega” isn’t even present in the japanese Digimon evolutionary stage table – their pendant is instead called “Ultimate”. Then i got to appreciate this careful altered designs but now i am longing for the official explanation.

  176. I was doing some reading, and I found out something kind of interesting. Denryu, Ampharos japanese name. It basically means Electric Dragon. All this time. Getting the Dragon Type suddenly makes a lot of sense

    Reply
  177. To be honest I kind of hope the other starters don’t get mega forms unless they don’t count as new pokemon because that would take up 17 new pokemon slots. Sure I would love a mega charizard as much as the next guy, but I would take new pokemon over more megas

    Reply
  178. Just can’t wait for 4 days! I really want August 12 to come up! So we know if Mega Pokemon were the “Scoop of the Century” or if it was fake. I want to see a trailer and some confirmation. Also, Oorotto was not in the CoroCoro as I expected. Yet, hopefully it will be in the trailer! I can’t wait for that date! ;D What do you guys think about Mega Pokemon? I have mixed feelings about it! Yet, it’s starting to come to my good side! I might give it a try! 🙂

    Reply
  179. As my head cools down on this matter, I must admit this still seems a bit fishy. The whole concept of mega-evolution, and the very pokemon chosen to illustrate it (mewtwo, blaziken), scream “fanboy’s dream come true”. Even now I’m getting use to the whole situation, my slowly waning wish that all this should be a hoax is turning into honest suspicion. We will know soon enough anyhow. If it is fake (which by now I can base on nothing more than an objective hunch), this will be the best hoax ever pulled off in the fandom…

    Even if this does turn out true, I’ll never stop clamouring for lucario to get a proper evolution, and for Mawile and Absol’s megas to become available outside of battle. (If this is a hoax, these are the kind of evos I want).

    Anyway, enough of the hunches and ranting, here are a few thoughts:
    -if this is battle-only, that means they can make more megas for the remakes or sequel(s)… And block them from battling with or patch them into X/Y.

    – what seems to be an activation of pokémons genetic potential may be turned into a permanent evolution possibility if the sufficient technology is developped in the pokemon world… Who knows, maybeAbsol and Mawile’s megas can become evos in later games… Though it means saying hello to 4-stage lines and legendary evos.. And mayb e Alomomola was a secret MegaLuvdisc all along! I Solved it! MWAHAHAHA!
    Hang on, if mega-evolution is human-induced, poké-ethics goes out of the window!
    Wait till N hears of this!

    As I end this comment, there is still a lingering feeling that this cannot possibly be true… Maybe I’m imagining what I want to. But you must admit that if you think of it objectively, this may all seem a bit too strange… However real it seems, it’s not impossible to fake. The chances of a hoax are as slim as they get, but think of it a bit and you will see that wether you like this change or not, this “big scoop” maybe a bit too “big” for comfort…

      • In his defense, nothing is proven true until the 12th. I don’t care if it’s so called “Serbii confirmed” or whatever, because last time I checked, Serebii is neither Corocoro nor Gamefreak.

        Reply
          • That means absolutely nothing. Corocoro covers are faked all the time as well. Until it hits store shelves on the 12th, it’s not official.

          • Oh, and no one can fake a cover? I know what I’m saying is, far-fetched, but you must admit there is always a possibility of this being false…

          • Also the names of the rabbit and fakachu were on a list of rumors that had the 14 names a while back.

          • Not going to be rude dude. But it is really easy to Photoshop a CoroCoro Cover Page. Just get a bunch of Japanese images. Also, it seems the Leaker didn’t show much and he also started to delete his tweets about Mega Pokemon too!

          • The leaker was getting really flamed and seemed genuinely upset so he took them down. I think he freaked out a bit which is understandable.

          • Maybe! Yet, that is a bit fishy. Still, I enjoy Mega Pokemon. Yet there not needed. Still its just a form change! This happened for Mewtwo too!

          • That’s true man 🙂 Guess we just have to wait for more scans. Hahah, I do hope its true, but personally I am 100% convinced. 😀

          • I’m 85% convinced! Until August 12 (IDK How many times I have said that lol ;D) when GameFreak releases info about the “Scoop of the Century” and if it is Mega Pokemon! Then I will believe it! 😀

          • The reason he deleted his tweets were because he couldn’t take the criticism of the Pokecommunity on twitter. Of course, that could just be a cover up, and he didn’t specifically say he deleted it because of criticism, but it does seem like this guy was just trying to share something he found with a few of his friends, only to be RT’d throughout twitter.

      • Not officially it hasn’t. There is an (ok incredibly slim )chance that this is all an elaborate hoax. Honestly “mega evolutions”? Doesn’t it feel a bit like a strange dream/fanboy wish come true?

        Reply
          • The Corocoro could have been faked, including the front page. I perfectly understand why you and the majority of people believe it’s true, because it does seem very legit, and I personally believe it’s probably true, but I nonetheless feel this whole thing is a bit strange. It’s perfectly in the realm of possibility for a (very skilled) faker to pull this off, but I agree this is more likely to be legit. I’m just not 100% sure.

    • I must agree with you in that had someone told me about this yesterday I wouldn’t have believed it even for a split second. Even after seing this undeniably Sugimori-artwork something still twings at the back of my head.
      I’m coming to terms with it now, at first I freaked out big time.

      Reply
  180. Mega Pokemon is still not 100% confirmed. We all have to wait till August 12 for GameFreak to release the “Scoop of the Century”. It might even be Mega Pokemon! We currently all don’t know! Yet, Mega Pokemon does seem a bit sketchy, mostly after the Leaker started to deleting his tweets. I’m still 50/50 on Mega Pokemon! Just wait till that date before everyone starts saying it is real or fake. ;D

  181. I tell you, the Gym Leader has Mega forms, but if she’s type specific, probably Steel types. Guessing her name will be Megan. (get it?)

  182. OMG what if just what if they havent shown orroto because gamefreak/nintendo is doing a thing where only the japanese get a certain pokemon and other regions/countries get other pokemon. That way people would trade which other regions/countries.

    • They more than likely just haven’t announced it yet. Orroto wasn’t exactly given artwork and placed on a magazine in Japan either, it was just confirmed through a trailer.

  183. Stepping back from the Mega Pokemon (which I AM a fan of), I like the three Kalos Pokemon they’ve shown us.

    Meekuru is perfectly cute, and so is Dedenne. It’s a gerbil-antenna!

    It’s nice to see a new rabbit, too! Wasn’t Horubii one of those names that was tossed around a while back? When everyone was trying to guess what it was?

    Reply
    • Yup. Dedenne was too, but no one had found a good translation for it’s name apparently, so it wasn’t given much focus. Amusingly, Horubii was giving visions of a hornet like a mud dauber. Pretty sure a rather average looking bunny wasn’t high on that list, heh.

      Reply
    • I completely agree 😀 These Pokémon got pushed into the background a bit, but they have a great design, I said in an earlier comment that im guessing Dedenne will end up having an alternate Raichu evolution or be a Mega Raichu evolution. 🙂 I also really love the rabbit 😀

      Reply
      • Yea! Mega Pokemon took up the spotlight! Dedenne being Electric/Fairy seems interesting. ;D Also, Horubii seems like it will be the rodent of the Generation. Also, everyone knew Gogoat will be getting a Pre-Evolution it was easy to figure out!

        Reply
        • Haha yeah and Gogoat pre-evo was actually shown in the background in a screenshot before 😉 🙂 Which of the 3 is your favourite ? 😀

          Reply
    • Yeah i was just thinking the same thing… I hope this “Change” turns out okay…
      It could make or break the entire game.

  184. I hope Dunsparce gets revealed next but I think there will be more mega Pokemon revealed because I remember something saying the professor will give you a Hoenn starters

    Reply
    • It’s logical to think there are more scans to show, whether they will show something new or not is unconfirmed. But you can tell there are more because the sides of these scans have screenshots that we can’t see on other pages.

      Reply
  185. Sorry to disappoint but these mega Pokemon make no logical sense to me. This generation started of extremely strong, but this is killing it for me. X and Y would have been a flawless game had these mega Pokemon never been announced. Here’s to hoping this is all fake! I challenge ANYONE to give me a logical reasoning as to why this a thing.

    • they’re real and i don’t like them either! but we have no choice but to deal with it. say goodbye to a proper absol or mawile evolution…shit

    • Same! I’m on the same boat as you! I can’t wait for August 12, hopefully GameFreak makes them fake! There really not needed! Yet, change has to happen! Even if it is good or bad! I still wanted Absol and Mawile just to get proper evolution but “beggars can’t be choosers”. 🙂

      Reply
      • Also, you activate it with a item. You don’t have to give the Pokemon the item. Also, the MegaStone is only temporary! So, it will be gone after sometime that you used it during the battle!

        • Gamefreak doesn’t care if you like it or not, it’s yout oppinion against other million of people who actually likes, that’s the thing.

          • He doesn’t know how to respect others opinions :/ Im actually quite happy with the amount of people that like this feature 🙂 Do you like it ? 🙂

          • I LOVE it, i mean, they are trying something new and fresh, Pokemon needed more than just the same thing over and over again…i really like it.

          • my point is, Gamefreak may not care about one person’s opinion, but there are other people that share that opinion. It’s the groups that gamefreak cares about. Besides Chico posted his opinion, you tried to demean it by saying GF doesn’t care. If the only reason we should post opinions because GF cares, then why do sites like this exist anyway?

    • I’m actually ok with that. It’s like an anime where the hero has been pushed to the limit and is too weak to fight, but suddenly gains enough power to defeat the foe, and then reverts back to normal.

      Reply
    • I alright with this! Where else will you need them! They will mostly change forme from a item then after the battle transform back! Remember Mega Pokemon Formes are temporay! They will not stay like that forever! 😀

  189. At first all the “Mega” stuff made me really nervous, Then i thought about it and if they do it right then it could potentially turn out to be a good thing. However it could also turn out mortifying! Since we don’t know much yet guess we will all have to wait and see!

    *Side note- what is the deal with Mega Ampharos? Hes one of my favorite guys(design wise) I’ll have to make sure he does not touch a mega stone and evolve/change into that hideous looking form.Although it is awsome to have dragon type added!!

    Reply
  190. Here’s some food for thought. Notice how on the mega page, all the megas are blurry though glare and fuzziness, except for one. The mewtwo form/evo is pixelated blurry, It is the only mega previously revealed. Meaning that IF this is fake, Newtwo was added separately as the “leaker” wouldn’t have to draw it. I’m not saying it is fake. (Although this is awfully fishy.)

    Edit: Also, if you look at the info next to Mega Mawile, it’s at the wrong angle and lighting, making it look generally photoshopped.

    Reply
  191. i registered just to comment on this article. i’ve been a pokemon fan ever since i was a kid and now i’m already 20. the moment i saw the lucario mega-lution i instantly got excited because it really looks cool. blaziken’s mega looks a lot like yveltal and when you think about it lucario and xerneas also have some similarities. but a lot of people might ask why torchic is the only starter to have a mega-lution. and i can understand mawile and absol having mega but ampharos?? i don’t think it’s necessary to give him one. maybe the devs plan all starters to have mega or maybe all other pokemon that haven’t had a branch evolution yet. that was probably why the file size of the game is just too big.

    • It’s not all Pokemon, just Legendaries, FULLY-evolved forms, and stand-alones. Well, can’t say for sure, but it makes sense.

      Reply
    • 649 x 2 = 1298 + All the Kalos Pokemon and there forms. Too much! I think certain Pokemon like Starters, Legendaries, etc. will only get Mega Forms.

      Reply
    • I”m pretty sure only Pokemon that can’t evolve get one, putting the number of megas at
      Gen1: 69
      Gen2: 54
      Gen3: 72
      Gen4: 68
      Gen5: 102

      Putting the total of megas for old pokemon at 365 assuming what I said previously was true.

      Reply
      • Yes, thank you for your calculations, as this was something that I had not realized earlier. If these 365 mega evolutions take place as a new Pokemon in the Pokedex, then we will have at least 1000+ new Pokemon, including the formes. But if they count as alternatives for old Pokemon and don’t get their seperate Pokedex entry, we will still have 1000+ total Pokemon, including all formes.

  192. With Horubii and Dedenne being revealed, the Pokexperto rumors can be confirmed true with the 12 other Pokemon (INCLUDING THE STARTERS EVOLUTIONS) being real! Yes!

          • Yeah I get what you mean 🙂 I suppose its kinda like getting the best of both worlds, ( even though it isn’t lol ) I do love the new mawile though and I’d definatly use it if it was both a Mega Evolution or Standard Evolution 🙂

          • Really ? Sorry I thaught I was 😛 haha im just the shortest in my group of friends, and it seems I just see a lot of tall people around in public aswell lol haha 😛 🙂 😀

    • Proper discussions and opinions are subjective. As far as I have seen, there has been no so called “trolling” so far on the site. I’ve seen great discussions, whether they are for or against these new forms. However, I’m assuming you mean that you want everyone to share your opinion and love these forms. Glad you like them, but because others don’t agree doesn’t make us instigators.

      • Erm no ? Hahaha sorry did something happen to you that made you want to start being an ass ? I don’t mind that people don’t like them, sure many people arnt even convinced there real 😛 I however love them and am convinced. So im not sure whats up with you lol ?

        • I’m happy for you that you like these new forms. Congratulations. However I’ve seen that you have been rude to others who have opinions that differ from yours. If you could tell me your definition of trolling, that would be great because as far as I’m concerned, there has been none of that. There has been plenty of great discussion, both positive and negative. Not sure what you’ve been seeing.

          • Ok well if you haven’t seen it yet other member on this site have also posted comments about asking people not to troll, it shows who is correct here…. Anyways your being rude as we speak, you are looking for an argument and this is a good day for fans of Pokémon, so I wont let you ruin it. Enjoy abusing others. 🙂

          • I’ve only seen you complain about people trolling, not sure where you tried to go with that argument. Also, I think you mean you’re*. You must be very oblivious if you think that this is a good day for all the fans of Pokemon, as I’m sure you have seen both the positive and negative reactions. And abusing wasn’t the correct word at the end of your post. I’m not abusing anyone. I can define “abuse” if you need me to.

          • No its not needed, and this is a Pokémon fan site, not an English class, so I can write your if I wish, not you’re. The fact you have to start resulting to pathetic spelling errors shows there is nothing left for you to talk about. Also you should take the time to scroll through my comments to realise that I am always respecting others opinions and I regularly chat to others here that have different opinions than myself. Why don’t you do that and then respond 🙂

          • Sorry but your errors are so blatantly obvious. It’s*. So what do you think I did? Come up with an accusation out of thin air? Because I have nothing better to do? I’ve seen your comments all day, and some of them have been rude to the opinions of others. No need to look through that garbage again. Why don’t you grow up and develop a better vocabulary other than using the word “troll” in every other post, will ya?

          • So when children come onto this site who are under 13, do you correct then because you cant read correctly. Im 21 have a perfect vocabulary, have a job and go to college. Guess what im on a Pokémon site im here for fun, something which your ruining. My Goodness grow up. Funny how you’ve seen my comments all day then you’d know how many people I have spoken to 🙂 Also that garbage has nearly 1000 upvotes so if its such garbage then why are people liking it ? Sorry just flaw after flaw im pointing out 🙂 I even tried to be civil and asked you your opinion on this news to create a friendly conversation which you chose to ignore, due to your sheer ignorance.

          • Unfinished post. But I can guess where its going. I was saying civil is asking about his opinion. I also asked if something happended to make him be an ass. Anyways if both of you are finished choosing to ignore my obvious points then theres nothing more to discuss. 🙂

          • Them*, can’t, I’m, you’re. You sure you go to college? Is that how you write your term papers? The fact that you’re 21 and can’t use contractions correctly is appalling. You’re proud of 1,000 upvotes? Wanna brag about how many Facebook friends you have or how many followers you have on Twitter as well? Didn’t know how popular you were, my bad. *I wish I could get 1,000 upvotes, then my life would be complete*

          • Nah im good, its actually quite funny how childish people like you are. People like you are the ones how always ruin this fun community for others. If you want to be hateful, just take it off the site. Its simple. Be nice or leave, it makes this site a much better place for everyone. Its not fair on anyone including myself having to watch you embarrass yourself any further trying to troll. Also your entire last post added nothing but has shown everyone that I was correct in calling you an ass 🙂

          • To all involved: Easy guys. Let’s agree to disagree. you guys have a good intention in keeping the discussion clean and intellectual, but what you’re doing is the exact opposite of your intention. Let’s drop this and talk about Pokemon, not each other.

          • And right as I was about to type my next response. Seriously though, thanks. This needed an intervention.

          • Thanks NLque im not looking for an argument at all, I just want to make it clear that I respect all opinions and wont be bullied on the site. Whats your favourite Pokémon revealed today ?

          • Cool, Im kinda stuck between Blaziken and Lucario, but Electric/Dragon Ampharos is just awesome 😀

          • Easily Mawile’s but Absol’s and Mewtwo’s are a close second

            Edit: wait, I thought we were talking about Megas. My real favorite is actually Horubii.

          • Oh I see you put it here sorry, Cool Im really liking Mewtwo’s myself, I dlike to get a better look at Absols tho 🙂

          • You were not being bullied at all. You just gotta learn to take healthy criticism the right way. But on the subject, I liked all 3 of the Pokemon revealed today, minus all the mega Pokemon. Waste of data imo.

          • The subject is dropped so lets leave it. Also im not looking for some sort of feud on this site with anyone so lets just leave this behind us and look forwards ? 🙂 I actually kinda like them altho at first I was kinda confused why they would randomly call them all Mega evolutions 😛 The 3 others I really loved also they have a great design IMO 😀

          • I think this conversation has to be moved to a different post, too much scrolling down to reply back. XD

          • Hahah ok but anyways I just want to extend the ol’ virtual hand of friendship to both yourself and Senoel, Hopefully you both accept and we can have nice chats in future with one another 🙂 I want to forget this one lol XD 🙂

          • Quoting me is not an answer. Ive asked to be friends on this site, if you want to its a simple yes, if not then say no.

          • Yeah, the person correcting your grammar is childish, huh? If some people like you could take healthy criticism, that would be marvelous. I’ve built up a higher reputation on this site than you have, so I’m not concerned with what you think people are thinking of me.

          • Oh I remember you I also had an old username before the site changed, so I myself had a reputatuion here. Maybe now you would like to answer my earlier question seems how this has ended ?

          • We are ??? What are you talking about. This is my question about Pokémon ? Which is what I wanted to talk about 😛

          • wasn’t your earlier question about him being an ass?

            Edit, oh sorry, wrong earlier question

          • No no, I want to chat about the new Pokémon I asked what your opinions are on them ? 🙂 Also im saying this now I want this to be in the past I don’t want some random feud on the site haha 😛 So lets be cool ? I don’t want any trouble with anyone 🙂

          • you said earlier and I quote
            “sorry did something happen to you that made you want to start being an ass ?”

            Although that was my mistake, so I apologize

          • No worries, I actually saw you respond my Pokémon thing on a comment below so I responded back to that one 🙂

          • Since when was there resorting? Chicolombia took ONE sentence to point out a spelling error. Throughout the whole argument, you’ve been bias, and saw trolls where there were just complaining people (there’s a difference you know) . You called Chicolombia an ass for politely making a point. You also go out of your way to “Attack” others who disagree, which is exactly what your saying Chicolombia is doing. “being rude as we speak, you are looking for an argument and this is a good day for fans of Pokémon” last I checked, Chicolombia pointed something out and you started the argument, also no, it’s not a good day for ALL fans of Pokemon. Some like it, some don’t.

          • Seems you two have been expressing the same opinion this entire conversation and a lot of people disagree.

          • The point isn’t that more people agree or disagree, but that this argument is happening in the first place. As long as arguments don’t get heated they are”proper discussions and opinions”

          • Tell that to your friend Chico, as he has ran out of points and resulted in plain abuse embarrassing himself

          • Nope as not once did I try to belittle his education or his spelling. If he wants to resort to childish name calling he can.

          • Your definition of polite seems to be different than mine. Also it is good for all fans as its news,Its optional therefore its both pleases fans and still gives news to those that dislike it.

          • If you reread his first post to you yes, it was polite. I never said that this article was bad, but people should feel free to openly disagree with it without you attacking them. Also, you claim to open to people different opinions, but so far, the only person against this I’ve seen you be polite to is me (possibly) and Afarr.

          • Have another look then as I am polite to everyone 🙂 I don’t think you realise that I am not looking for an argument im just proving myself correct.

      • I %100 agree with you. If we look at the discussion here, there’s no trolling comment on the site, just people expressing their opinions. Negative or positive, I love reading all the comments. Calling them unproper is so down low and him calling you “ass” is just plain rude. I felt really disturbed.

  194. While everyone is so busy arguing about Mega Evolutions, I’m too busy realizing Hirobyte was a little wrong on his leaks. . . Newtwo isn’t Psychic/Fairy. And there may not be a second form. Meaning. . . Some of his info. . . May be wrong. . .

    Just saying. 😀

  195. Is it just or maybe, just maybe Seybleye and Dunsparce may not get an evolution but a temporary Mega-form or “Awakened Form.”

    Reply
  196. I have a Theory, now this is totally a hypothesized theory though but here it goes

    The concept of mega Pokemon could be connected to Xerneas, since as the Life Pokemon Xerneas’ colorful antlers and it’s move Geomancy could possibly manipulate a Pokemon’s genetic code allowing it a achieve a higher powerfuler form. the Move Geomancy might even create these “Mega Stones” as a byproduct and could only be found in its native region of Kalos

    Now i think Team Flare wants to capture Xerneas and use its power to create ultra-powerful Pokemon and sell them to highest bid

    Now take this thought into consideration, I could be true!!!!
    Respond your thoughts
    Thank you and goodnight

  197. To the people/trolls/haters/ect. that are still in denial about wheater or not the scans are real:

    1. Gogoat’s preevo was already shown in a trailer.

    2. On the list of rumors that were leaked to Pokebeach, it said Mawhile will gain Fairy Type

    3. The names of the pikachu clone and rabbit were on the list of names that were leaked 2-3 weeks ago.

  198. The way I think FG want mega evolution to be seen is as a leveling for all pokemon strong and weak. That way its down to skill and strategy to win battles. Most see these Pokemon as being crazy strong eg lucario with adaptability but whos to say there is other mega evolutions that are on par or rival this strength.

    Reply
  199. i like the look of the mega pokemon and i think that they could be good for the game if game freak does it right but they could also do it wrong. there is nothing in these scans that say fake. so i really do think that some people needs to stop being in denial. that way when the official site update with this you won’t be to mad

  202. There’s two things I’m looking for info on:
    1 Where it says Ampharos has Mold Breaker. (It’s not visibile in the present photos)

    2 Where it says that Mega Evolutions are only and ONLY accessible in battle

    I looked at the guy’s Twitter and found the thing where Ampharos is Electric/Dragon,
    and the thing where Mega Evolution is a new battle tactic. I can’t be sure it’s only for in battle even though it kinda seems so.

    Reply
  203. Imagine if this was all fake. The bastard who made this stuff would sure be getting a laugh. Everyone in the fandom is going bananas. I personally am still suspicious about all of this. Seems like a complete fan service but then again, XY is based on genetics and this sounds like something Game Freak would do as of late. I’m personally glad they made the Mega Pokemon optional with the stones and simply alternate, short term powered up versions of Pokemon instead of full fledged evolutions. But it kinda bugs me because Mega Mawile could of easily been a regular evolution for Mawile. Oh well, at least it’s something…

    • It’s from this IAMLEAKER guy who confirmed himself that the information he gave was fake. Unless you’re talking about another rumor. There’s so many rumors that are going around right now, it’s hard to keep track of them. Lol.

      • She looks like a roller skater, so I’d say either Fighting or maybe even Steel type. I don’t think she is gonna be a Megamon specialist. All Gym Leaders as of Generation V have outside hobbies and this Gym Leader’s outside hobby could be Megamon. It says she knows about them, not that she specializes in them. There were also no shots shown of her using one.

        Reply
          • Could be Grant who specializes in Fighting types. He looks like a midway Gym Leader in the game to me.

          • I personally think she is gonna be the third Gym Leader. Pokebeach’s source mentioned:

            1. Bug
            2. Fairy
            4. Fighting

            They’re missing the third one.

  204. Now that i looked at this scan for awhile now, something about it is just rubbing me the wrong way. looks leget and the design of the mega evolutions look nice, but… i just dont know… how is this gunna work for other pokemon? maybe nintendo and gamefreak r gunna release these ”mega items” as DLC so pokemon wont become so OP. i mean.. Absol with magic bounce? That will just kill someone in competitive play.

    Reply
    • I love the Bunny, Hamster, and Gogoat pre-evolution. I am still getting used to the idea of Megamons. But personally glad they’re restricted to just battle and formes that temporarily power up instead of actual Pokemon. The designs for MegaLucario and MegaMawile I particularly like the best. Still iffy on the entire concept and how it will work.

      Reply
        • Oh. I apologize. A little hyper here in the discussion forum. Haha. I think it is a new Pokemon and that this leaker isn’t showing us the whole scan. Bastard he is. Lol.

          • That orange and white fist thing does not look like a Pokemon that has been revealed. I think it’s a new Kalos Pokemon but then again, it could be a Megamon. But they showed what appeared to be all 6 that they are going to show on the CoroCoro page featuring them. I hope it’s a new Kalos Pokemon. *Crosses fingers*

          • OH MY GOD. If it’s a Pumpkin, I will scream my head off! Thank you for the analysis *Prays for that to happen*

          • I enjoy discussing stuff with other fans. Gives a whole new perspective on things you never really think about yourself.

          • There are a lot of theories, etc. that I have learned from other fans, one BIG informational family, lol.

          • Wait a minute. It’s Torchic in the screenshot! False alarm. Your image only just loaded for me now. Lol. But there is still that orange and white fist like thing in the corner of the Megamons that looks like a new Pokemon.

          • Oh wait. You probably mean the thing Torchic is battling? Right? I’m so scatterbrained when I’m hyper. Lol.

          • Lol. I love that cutie. Seriously in love with the three new non Megamon Pokemon and would be upset if they were fake. 🙁 With these 3 new Pokemon, it brings up the non-forme Generation VI Pokemon total to 29. 😀

      • I hope they reveal a new page of the magazine issue tomorrow. God. I’m so hyper right now! All of this news is just amazing.

        Reply
          • If this is fake, I might even have to cry. The Bunny, Hamster, and Gogoat pre-evo are so cute.

          • Gogoat will still mostly get a pre-evolution! But still the Mega Pokemon just seem really fake. There designs are awesome! Yet, I rather Mawile and Absol get there own evolutions! Not Mega Forms.

          • I know exactly what you mean. I think Mega Mawile would of been so much more epic as “Mawtress” or “Mawdusa”.

          • Also, MegaMewtwo. I thought Mewtwo was just getting a form! That’s what Pokemon said. Nothing was brought up about Mega Pokemon. Also, people are saying the term “Mega Pokemon” was registered before. They don’t know if some random person or Pokemon registered it. Still, I don’t want Mega Pokemon! If there real I can deal with it!

          • Nonetheless, wouldn’t mind the Megamon concept being thrown out if this was fake. Seems a little overdone. We honestly have to wait and see. Evidence in my opinion can go in either direction. The Gogoat pre-evolution looks like the fanmade one a while back and the Megamon concept and the Pokemon that use it such as Lucario seems almost too good to be true. But then again, Mega Evolution, and the Bunny and Hamster’s Japanese names were apparently trademarked…

  205. I saw an interesting argument someone made that when translated to English, the “mega form” will be translated to “awakened form” like the Mewtwo form. In other words, Awakened Blaziken, Awakened Lucario, etc.

    Reply
  206. I think I got it guys! I was thinking about it while I was mowing the lawn, running some ideas through my head. And while I liked them right off the bat, I will admit, these formes seem somewhat ‘artificial.’ And then it hit me. Colress. What was he trying to do? And in the anime, was showed to actually somewhat do? *Bulbapedia* His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon. So, what does this mean? I think he FOUND OUT how to do it. Yeah, he saw some of the errors of his ways in Pokemon BlackWhite 2. But, he may not have stopped trying to find out how to do it. He just included the idea of the bond between trainer and Pokemon, and utilized that in his research to accomplish his goals! Maybe even Pokemonami or whatever it’s called will be linked to the Megamon. Not to mention, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen people artifically alter pokemon to draw more power out. Shadow Pokemon. Anyways, that’s my theory.

    Reply
    • You make an excellent point! Such a good theory! I love hearing what other fans think. It gives me ideas that I never fought of before. 😀

      Reply
      • Even why I think this is considered an evolution instead of a forme change. Because, up til now, forme changes are based on their altering their abilities, being fundamentally the same thing, just with a different focus. Evolution, on the other hand, is an upgrade, with stats being increased, and like that. Only two Pokemon come to mind with forme changes that do not work like this, and that is Kyurem and Rotom. And even, then, they operate under different rules, because they aren’t just changing forms, they are basically adding something to themselves to alter their current state, in Kyurem’s case it absorbs Zekrom or Reshiram, Rotom an appliance. I presume then we could count on that these Mega Evolutions would be temporary bursts of power that WOULD ‘evolve’ the Pokemon in a sense, artifically, so that should mean whatever gets a forme change should be buffed somehow. If they don’t do all that, then I don’t really know XD. But, I do remember at one point they had a random NPC talk about looking into the dreams of Pokemon, and that happened later… At the very least, that’s what it seems most like to me.

        Reply
    • Dude, I love this theory. Like, really. Also, I think this might work a lot differently from evolutions. Remember how mewtwo changed into his/her Mega Form? It sort of exploded, knocked over a car. Maybe at a certain point you can upgrade your pokemon in a way, then, in battle, when certain criteria is met, they’ll suddenly receive a huge surge of power and go Mega (ie; Ampharos gets hit by a dragon-type move and goes below 50% HP, then BOOM, MegaAmpharos).

      This alone could add a whole new level of strategy to competitive battling, too.

  207. Still don’t think these are legit. They could just slap a trademark on it for authenticity to cause everyone to lose their minds. However I do recall Masuda stating that “more forms and fusions will be added in the future”. Hm…

    Reply
    • I don’t recall Masuda saying that! It might have been a bit ago. Yet, I think the Mega Pokemon are a bit fake. I will admit the Mega Pokemon designs are amazing! Yet, just how it was introduced. Pokemon said Mewtwo will just get a form, now its a Mega Pokemon. I don’t see that working. I just can’t wait for the 12th. I really want all of this info to be straightened out! Hopefully Mega Pokemon are fake. Yet, I would say if there real I could get used to them!

      Reply
  208. If this information is confirmed to be fake, I will be semi-happy, because this is a great addition to the Pokemon universe and will open up a new world of battling. However, the designs are a little weird, as they seem like they took an awesome Pokemon, entered it in the Pokemon Musicals (but instead of cute, ferocious designs) and then there you have it. It does seem a little wierd that the other forms are not as clear as MegaMewtwo, and it is also a little weird how CoroCoro could leak so early, which hadn’t really happened in the past. Why would you delete your own tweets? Why would you only leak a few pages rather than all at once to answer all of the questions swimming around in our heads? Why? Anyways, I love Megamon and I am all for them, but they need to improve the designs majorly. MegaMewtwo, MegaLucario and MegaAbsol are my favorites, with MegaAmpharos, MegaBlaziken and MegaMawile barely getting any changes. I love Megamon, again, but I don’t know about these Megamon. Maybe the theory is accurate, but not these designs. I just don’t know what to believe so I’m at crossroads here. I am taking this with a grain of salt, just like IAMTHELEAKER (NightSlash)’s rumors from a while ago, and the supposed new Eeveeluion and bag of chips/sushi Pokemon.

  210. I hate it when people are like “If you are a real pokémon fan you’ll have no right to criticize any decision gamefreak makes.”. As the time goes by, the employees have probably changed and so Pokémon has changed a lot. It’s not disrespectful to express our feelings politely.

    That said, I was starting to like gen VI, but then Gamefreak hit me again. The games always were pretty unbalanced (type-wise AND stat-wise, specially considering the average stat growth implemented at almost all gens – obliterating most older pokémon). And now they’re handpicking some fan favorites (“cool pokémon”) and giving them even more power (c’mon, speed boost blaziken wasn’t uber enough?). I seriously doubt they’ll make mega versions for all pokémon.

    What I get from all of this is that they don’t really give a damn about balancing the game; they just want to create a greater hype (“OMG, MY FAVORITE POKÉMON IS COOLER NOW”) in order to sell more copies. I’m not saying that it would be ideal if all pokémon had same Base Stat Totals, but there shouldn’t be such a chasm between some of them. I’m not saying “make all types strong”, but don’t force us to see the same pokémon types over and over in competitions.

    Reply
    • I highly doubt these are the only ones to get new forms, just popular ones to show off the mechanic. Starters getting new forms is nice, hence blaziken. Most likely, it’s to help the power creep so that older pokemon can catch up and be useful again.

          Reply
          • Yea! I think Pokemon may “nerf” it. Like it can be used only for 3 turns of a battle, because it is too much power for your Pokemon to handle. Or maybe they make it only be used like 5 times then it breaks! Something like that!

          • im thinking pokemon will improve the hp of all the pokemon, with it yopou could take battle for a long time

        • If it is temporary, how long the effect stands on? How to activate it? Do I Activate it when I want or when the pokémon enters the battle? So many questions…

          Reply
          • Your Pokemon will hold a certain type of MegaStone. Then they will change the form in battle! It only last in battle! I also, have a lot of questions to be answered.

    • They’re okay. I’m personally really happy that the Megamon are restricted to just battling purposes and are forms and not actual evolutions of Pokemon. And you’re right, there is still a small chance that this may all be fake. Seems too good to be true in some parts. But again, the bunny and hamster and Mega Evolution names were trademarked which leads me to believe that this is real. But anyways, I think the designs are cool but am really confused with how the concept will work exactly.

    • MegaMewtwo, MegaLucario and MegaAbsol convince me.
      MegaAmpharos, MegaBlaziken and MegaMawile don’t.
      The theory convinces me, the description doesn’t.
      The leak convinces me, but the day it was leaked on doesn’t.
      The credibility: high. But the possibility of this being fake: also high.
      Do I like them? Partially.
      Do I like the designs? Not really.
      If this is fake, will I be happy? Yes, and no.
      If the theory is confirmed but new designs are in place, will I be happy? YES!

You know earlier I was incredibly skeptical about these scans and didn’t know how I really felt with Mega Pokemon, but honestly, Mega Blaziken has really grown on me, and I still have my original Torchic from when I first played Pokemon Ruby, so seeing that Torchic from 10 years ago “Mega-Evolve” would just be an incredible experience.

    And now that MegaMons are a thing, Mega Pikachu better look like this or GF just missed a huge opportunity

  216. I bet they won’t add any new evolution for old pokemon this gen besides sylveon. We haven’t seen any other evolution so far and with this Mega Evolution I think we won`t. That Mega Miwale could easily have been just a normal evo, and everyone would’ve been okay with that.
    I guess Game Freak was thinking:
    “let’s make new evolutions for old pokemon!” but then someone said
    “Hey but, what if people start complaining about us touching their old darlings?
    -Ok then, let’s make them temporary, so everybody is happy! – and someone else said :
    -Hey and what if we make these temporary evolutions for 3rd stages and legendaries too??!!
    -YEAH and call it MEGA EVOLUTION!!”

    I’m still in shock and I’m not sure about it… I like Mega Blaziken but I don’t think it is needed to change starters since they are like the signature pokemon of a whole generation…

          • Well, they ARE based on what we think is the Gogoat Pre-Evo shown in some of the earliest screen shots. And you can make out a fair number of details, so it would look similar anyways. The main difference I can tell is this one’s horns look like they are pointing horizontally, and just about every pre-evo art I’ve seen has the horns pointing backward, like Gogoat itself.

  220. If this turns out to be real, I’m putting in a few requests lol:

    MegaMawile will probably have an attack stat over 400, and since it has Huge Power that leaves its attack 800+. It probably has hideous speed.

    I’m glad they have to hold the mega stones in battle to get the forms. I wouldn’t be able to take Mega Pokemon holding choice scarfs.

    The bunny poke is Normal, but has a lot of brown coloring on it and is known as the digging pokemon. I bet it becomes normal/ground and is this Gen’s Rattata/Bidoof

    Reply
    • Agreed about the bunny and Mawile and Absol. I also think Absol could of done without the wings and might not of needed an evolution at all. It has 130 Base Attack, which is already quite powerful.

      Reply
      • Yeah, but he’s so slow! And if his special attack were a bit higher, he could make use of his GIGANTIC move pool. *selfishly wants to have a more powerful Absol to be able to use.*

  243. im not going to believe this. (even tho i love it (SOOOOO MUCH)) not until the JP pokemon site confirms it or we get better scans…. what im saying is the fact that the Korean site is the only one saying anything but thats just it it only says it no pics or anything els….. its fishy…. this could be the biggest hoax ever….. idk im exploding with conflicting feelings.

    Reply
  244. So how many comments do you think there would be if all the pointless one-word comments and the completely random ones were deleted? :p

    Back on topic, I’m not being a hater, but I really am starting to hope this is fake. The designs are cute, but they’re a little bland. Also, the leaker erasing his tracks? Does that not scream suspicious to you? And the fact that MegaAbsol is shown in so many areas- something just doesn’t seem right about that. And to complete my rant, am I the only one who thinks that Horubii looks like a quick sketch? To me it doesn’t seem like a Sugimori. :/

    I’d be completely ok if these were real, (every Gen. has some quirks) but I hope this is all a hoax. After thinking about it all night, I don’t think I like the Megamons. I know it’s optional to get them, but I think it’s completely unnecessary; I’d rather they just tack on new evolutions to Mawile and Absol and leave the others alone.

          • It is weird that Korea announced this before Japan. I guess Kim Jong-Un has been on the internet…

          • It’s likely a timing error due to the fact that the Korean staff is on a different time frame than the Japanese and English staffs for the Pokemon company. Time zones can mess with the release of information.

            Things like this happen all the time when you have an international product with many subsites.

          • Oh god. I wonder what the reactions of Pokemon Facebook fans will be? I can’t even watch. I won’t. It’s gonna be Genwunner heaven and Pokemon Equality hell in there. Prepare the Houndooms!

          • Im just saying I ran all over the site and found nothing on mega evolution save the link given…….. containing only words…. no pics….. no real info….

          • The blog posts are set on a timer.

            All blogs make drafts and final copies of a post long before it’s time for it to be posted, so that they can schedule them to the correct time and it’ll be posted then.

            The blog post was likely improperly scheduled, or the scheduler was not made aware that the post contained sensitive information.

            This is legitimate, and you’ll have to accept that sooner or later.

          • i want to but im having trust issues the new pokemon look adorable and i have big hopes of the bunny being a dark type but the fact that the site has no info on the new pokemon makes that hard for me

          • i want to i have high hopes for the rabbit i want it to be dark type but im not the type to believe blindly. i need substance all i have are rumored to be real pics and a site that jumps the gun in a blog but fails to update the rest of the site….
            i may look stupid for this but i love pokemon and if this isn’t 100% real i want to know.

    • They are trying new ideas, since ‘evolution’ is getting somewhat stale now that it’s gen SIX. I can’t really blame GameFreak for trying new things. I’m somewhat neutral about this…I do like some of the designs for innovative sake, although I doubt I will use the feature in actual gameplay. I am pleased to see GameFreak still trying new things instead of rehashing, as that i what made B/W so boring.

  247. Quoted from a Youtube comment “They’re all based off nordic Gods. Blaziken is Sultr (God of fire). Lucario is Forseti (God of Justice). Amphoras is Thor (God of Thunder). Mawile is Loki (God of Deception). Absol is Fortuna (Goddess of Disaster). Mewtwo is Magni (God of Power).

    We know that Xerneas and Yveltal have connections to norse mythology so maybe theres a probable chance that this theory checks out. Im not really fluent in norse mythology but the fact that Absol got a random feminine looking form really makes this suspicious.”

  251. You know, I think a lot of this may have to do with the Pokedex. It’s going to be 700+ at the least this gen, maybe even 800, and that means evolutions will just keep getting further and further away from their original forms. That, and I don’t think these will be classified as ‘New’ Pokemon. There could be a new dex section specifically dealing with them, but otherwise, I think they will probably be seen with the Non-Mega versions. And to kind of expand the whole competitive field too, but I think mostly this is kind of a way to update Pokemon, and also Pokemon they wouldn’t update normally due to the mechanics not allowing it *starters, legendaries, mostly* Just, how MANY Pokemon will get Mega Evolutions though. THAT is the question here. At the very least, they likely will only be final stage Pokemon. Unless they give Pikachu special mascot privledges.

  252. Am I the only one that thinks that the Pokemon shown in previous trailers will get Mega Evolutions? i.e. Snorlax, Zoroark, Gardevoir, Golurk and not to mention the special treatment Sableye’s been getting lately. I would love to see a MegaGardevoir. 🙂

      • Nice. I chose Chespin because there are no decent grass-types revealed thus far. We have Clauncher, Skrelp, and Froakie as water-types and Litleo, Talonflame and Fennekin as fire-types. But grass? Meekuru/Gogoat, which both look weak, and Oorooto, which will probably end up being Dark/Ghost. Chespin looks badass, and which is why I am picking it.

    • So far, I’m decided on Chespin, Helioptile, Noivern, and Skrelp, torn between Litleo and Houndour, and completely undecided for the sixth slot.

          • Yes it was something unexpected but it wasn’t that big of a deal or that awesome to be called “the scoop of the century” for 3 Pokemon and Mega Evolutions and one gym leader.

          • As much as I agree with you, three new Pokemon, one gym leader and 5 new Pokemon that are a rip-off of Digimon really doesn’t live up to my original thoughts. My mind was blown as well, I gotta be honest, but it wasn’t amazing. I think we all knew GF and Nintendo were going to add some twist to battling in Gen VI, like Triple/Rotation Battles in Gen V and Double Battles in Gen III. We got barely any info on the new Gym Leader, no new NPC’s, no info on Team Flare, no info on the game’s storyline, no info that makes me wanna say “DAMN! I WANT THESE GAMES SO FRIGGIN’ BAD!”
            Even if these Mega Evolutions weren’t introduced, I would still buy Pokemon X/Y, so for me, Mega Evolutions are like a type of free DLC that I may/may not use, depending on how useful they are.

  266. Well, I’m glad it is real! Also, I’m more happy because it is just temporary and it it will not last forever! So, Pokemon “nerfed” it quite well! Mega Pokemon don’t bother me! I enjoy them and think there designs are cool! Yet I wish Mawile and Absol got proper evolutions! So, hopefully more info on Mega Pokemon is shown! (P.S.

I’m glad that this has finally been cleared up and I hope that we learn more about the meaning of these Megamon in the future and maybe Game Freak has a secret purpose of awesomeness behind these creatures, like a Shadow Pokemon concept or something. Personally, the best news out of all of this was the three new “simple” Pokemon which are the hamster, bunny, and Gogoat pre-evolution. I love all three of them to death! The total of Non-Mega Evolutions for Generation VI is now up to 29! 😀 Mega evolutions are still trying to get into my brain. But I know with time, I and most people that are hesitant about the idea will get used to it over time. It happens with all generations. But this generation I do admit is different. Well, anyways, good night everyone! 🙂

  271. I don’t know. Megaevolutions make Pokemon seem much more like Digimon. I’m definitely an anti-‘genwunner’, but the fact is that this change isn’t really that needed. All of the former Pokemon do pretty well (bar Mawile) without a ‘Mega Evolution’.

    It just seems cheesy, gimmicky, and disturbing an increasingly delicate balance of games. Whereas baby Pokemon were just the former two, these things sound more and more like GF is trying to attract the young fanbase more and more exclusively – as in, hey, look, your Blaziken will become MEGABLAZIKEN. That’s MEGA COOL!

    The one saving grace is that it’s temporary. That helps the case by a lot. I have to reserve judgement until I know all the “Mega” evolution’s facts, but I hope GameFreak knows very, very well what they’re attempting to do with this new development – possibly disturbing the thin, thin line between older competitive and younger casual gamers that so beautifully exists perhaps only in the Pokemon games.

    Reply
    • As I saw someone comment earlier this is their way of giving evolutions to Pokemon without “ruining their precious souls.”

      Reply
    • What do you know is needed? I really doubt you make marketing decisions for Game Freak.

      They decided that new gimmicks are needed for the innovation of the series. It’s simply a new feature. Likewise, even if what you say is true, there’s nothing wrong with that. Pokemon is a series that has lived way past its expiration date. The longer a series is alive, the harder it is to sustain it’s survival. That younger generation is very needed to keep Pokemon alive.

      I dunno what this ‘beautiful thin line’ you speak of, because the players of Pokemon are very finely segregated. You are taking this very, very seriously considering Pokemon is, in fact, just a marketed video game franchise. The series has done worse with its gimmicks.

      You don’t decide what GameFreak does, so I don’t see why people think they can judge their decisions. Pokemon was always meant for the younger audience anyway, enough that I was surprised with the dark turn they took with B/W storyline. If you dislike the feature, that’s fine, but there’s no reason to take your feelings farther than that. Don’t use the feature if you dislike it.

      Reply
      • I’m definitely not attempting to claim that I know ANYWHERE what is needed for this franchise or not. I’m not the correct person, nor is any one person important enough for that.

        Perhaps fans will love this Mega evolution gimmick. That’s fine. That’s their own opinion.

        The ‘line’ is that Pokemon plays like two games; a young player can easily pick it up in-game and after he’s finished, he can move onto the competitive side and continue playing it. It’s a really nice process. The problem is, appealing to one side or the other tends to alienate the opposite. And so far, Pokemon has done a pretty well job preventing this.

        I think it’s definitely in my grounds, however, to place my own opinion into the conversation on what I think could be a monumental change. I admit, like earlier, that I – just like you or anyone else – don’t know anything else about the feature. And so we should all reserve our final judgement.

        As for opinions, controversial or not, all fans have a right to say their own. That’s what fans do, after all.

        Reply
        • I’m not seeing the line being crossed here. Nothing has really changed so far. The new feature is more of a gimmick but it does not appeal to a specific set of fans…just because it looks ‘mega-cool’.

          Your own opinion is one thing. I simply don’t believe that fans should have opinions on what GameFreak is doing with their franchise. The gimmicks themselves are up for discussion. The gimmick IS real and IS in game, so there isn’t much any fan can do about that…no matter how negative that fan can try to be (generally speaking of course).

          I do agree, however, that some Pokemon got significant boosts despite not deserving them (especially Blaziken omg), and I don’t really understand their motive for doing so. However, this may simply be a gameplay gimmick, and even not allowed at -all- in competitive play.

          If anything, I’m happy Absol got the Magic Bounce ability. I love that ability so much. =D

          Reply
          • Well let’s agree to disagree here. I think that fans absolutely have the right to put their own opinions into games, which, after all, will be sold to THEM. Many game franchises have been changed because of fan input. But, whatever. That’s another discussion.

            In other words, that Absol is SICK. It looks like a Valkyrie. One of the best, simplest, totally keeping-in-line with the original Pokemon designs I’ve seen. That artwork has me excited for other Pokemon.

            I can’t wait until the Fairy type chart is released :3

I agree with most people that I will always love playing pokemon and going on adventures but i think this is the final nail in the coffin for competitive play… I would have been so excited if only absol, ampharos and mawile got these but to give them to blaziken and lucario swell is just broken… I was so upset by the fact that 70% of my wifi battles were against Tornadus, politoed and kingdra but this takes will take over-centralization to a whole other level. I have nothing against blaziken and lucario, and lucario is even one of my all time favourites but i dont want him to be op. I might be jumping to conclusions since we dont really know how available these megas will be since speedboost blaziken didnt even come stateside but dont tell me noone else is worried??

  273. I wonder what is meant by ‘temporary’ in battle. If the item is held, the pokemon when released in battle mega-evolves until it’s called back? Or it only lasts a few turns? That seems cheap since megastones already take up a held item, so the first idea seems most logical.

  274. Mega forms do look cool and fit in image wise… Except Lucario and Absol… those designs are All over the place .. so much going on, but I am sure I will get use to them, would be easier if they made Absol simpler looking and used less Red with Lucario in my opinion because when I see so much going on in a design I typically don’t even let my eye focus in one area.. I just take it all in at one time and currently FOR ME it is too much.. but again Im sure I will love em all eventually
    But I am still curious as to why these already Well used cool Pokémon have to be further powered up…

    • Actually Lucario’s red is ok on his body, the locks… I dunno, but I know I would prefer they take out the yellow fur on the stomach region though

  275. I hope these have some sort of changes so that they aren’t too OP. Like it must be holding the item and also be the last pokemon in your team too. Or maybe it is a consumable item so you can only use it once per battle and not regenerated after switching back out (and we know how important switching is nowadays). But for me the best case scenario will only be if they are banned online (like the soul dew) because although they’re EPIC its unfair to all those other pokes that don’t get them.

    Reply
    • The stone for Blaziken isn’t found in gameplay though, so a consumable would make the forms barely worth it. Likewise, the game is already balanced in a way that some Pokemon are weak and barely usable…especially in competitive play though, the fact that the stones take up your held item is kind of a set back.

      • It all really depends on how much of a stat increase they get. If you’re getting the benefits of all the choice items in one then nothing else will really matter

        Reply
  276. i’m totally fine with this apart from blaziken, and that may change if all other starters (or even just the other gen3) got them too

  277. Okay, so the mega evolution is starting to grow on me. The only thing I am worry about is if it will affect the amount of new Pokemon we will get sixth generation. I am just hoping we get at least more than the second generation.

    also I hope the mega forms evolution things or whatever, is called Awaken forms here in the states. Sounds better.

    Reply
    • Well, in a way, I’m kind of hoping they won’t be counted as ‘new’ Pokemon, such as in the dex, so we can have them, and not really have to worry about it affecting any slots for what would be new Pokemon otherwise. But you never know. But more than Gen II would be greatly appreciated.

      Reply
      • Yeah, I agree with what you are saying. Im still buying the game, but I will be pretty disappointed if we get less than 100 new pokemon excluding mega forms/evolution

        Reply
        • I’m not even sure what they would have to do to make me quit playing. Probably horrendous Pokemon designs across the board, like the kind that simply will never grow on you.

          Reply
          • I am not sure either. being a fan since it started, i fell like nothing can stop me from liking pokemon =).

          • Same, Pokemon Red. After having gone through all of grade school and high school, the fad years, and when being a Pokemon fan generally got you ridiculed, at least at my school, I really think the only thing that would make me stop is if they stopped making new games. And even then, I’d likely still play the old ones regardless.

  278. i just thought about something gamefreak could have named these new pokemon anything other than mega i mean if they were just forms people would not be angry but its like they did it so people would think about digimon i know pokemon and digimon are very different could this have something to do with the crossover of the century gamefreak talked about could it be pokemon meets digimon

    • Mega is only the Japanese name. Zapdos’ Japanese name, for example, was Thunder. Moltres was Fire, and Articuno was Freezer.

      So honestly, the Japanese name has nothing to do with the English name for all we know. It looks like the English could very well be “Awakened”, such as “Awakened Blaziken”

      Reply
      • You forgot the best one. Jolteon’s name! Goes along brilliantly with Zapdos name Thunder. It’s called Thunders.

        ….

        And people think Talonflame is uninspired XD. Of course, I know that the difference being they are using words they normally wouldn’t use, so they are ‘exotic’ or what not. But yeah, Awakened does seem like it could be a good bet.

        Reply
      • According to the newly-updated official English site, it is indeed “mega”. That’s not the worst possible name by far, though.

        Reply
  279. Personally I love these. Absol with wings looks absolutely incredible in my eyes and Blaziken and Lucario look pretty sweet. I am content with what they did with Mawile and the retyping was expected but what I didn’t expect was Ampharos to get a form, and it wasn’t just a normal form, the form has a type change to Electric/DRAGON which I think is going to be really cool! At first I thought the design could have been done better but it is fastly growing on me in a weird way and Ampharos is already shooting up my favourite Pokemon list. Well done on this one in my eyes GF.

    Oh and as if CoroCoro didn’t hint this edition as a Mega reveal. Missed opportunity guys…

    Reply
      • Oh does it? That makes sense. I kinda have had a soft spot for Ampharos but not a reason to really love it but I now do! Also only just realised that Mega-Mawile has two mouths on the back of it hahah

        Reply
  280. I have no idea why, but I suspect it was cause of reading it in the comments, I had a dream where I watched Digimon….
    Palmom digivolved into Togemom…which then digivolved into Orrotto….

    Reply
  281. i wonder why absol and mawhile didnt just get regular evolutions that look like these cause they are stand alone pokemon.

    Reply
  282. I actually haven’t read/looked at any part of this article besides the headline yet. I skipped straight to the comments and when I read NLque’s surely record-breakingly upvoted comment I knew there would be major spoilers above. It is really killing me, not knowing what this amazing and controversial scoop was, but I’m very glad I shouldn’t have to wait more than another day or two for it to be officially revealed. It sure is difficult at times like this to stick by my no-looking-at-leaks policy, but it’s worth it to me in the long run.

  283. So MegaMewtwo is the only ”form” for Mewtwo.
    The other ”form” that pokebeach’s source has said must be MegaMew for Mew

    Reply
  284. Before this issue of corocoro, I thought mewtwos’s new form would be a special form for itself. The megass idea sucks =(

  285. Literally have been doing nothing but talk all day about Megalutions to my friends…whether they like Pokemon or not.
    I’M SO EXCITED.

  286. As a programming student, Pokemon XY blows my mind:

    1. Rendering 700+ Pokemon into 3D models (A LOT OF MATH THERE) plus movement!
    2. Rendering all Attacks, Abilities, Effects into 3D
    3. Inclusion of new Pokemon
    4. Programming new additions such as Pokemon Amie, Megalutions to please us fans (OMG NEW PROGRAMMING ADDITIONS)
    5. Creating a world from scratch in 3D for 3DS

    That is just a start. Coming from Pokemon Blue many years ago, this is revolutionary. I can’t believe they whipped this up in a just a couple of years. Kudos to all the game designers, programmers who are probably crying due to the ever-growing complexity of this game that they have to do, everyone in GameFreak, Nintendo and associates.

    With that said, I’ll never turn my back on Pokemon. It is a programming feat – just thinking of how the rotation battles were programmed motivates me to study harder and learn more…

    (Still waiting for a Hoenn remake yay)

    Reply
    • They’ve been working on this for a good coupla years as well, probably started off with pokemon designs then as the years went on and technology improved, did all the 3D rendering

      Reply
    • As engineering student, there’s less programming going on than you’d think. All the fundamentals for 3D objects were already laid out years ago and nobody is going to reinvent the weel just because they can. You’d be surprised how easy it is to create an animated 3D model, although that is indeed thanks to all of the work computer scientists have done over the past forty years. 😉

  287. So I guess this is all we’re getting till next month?!?!? Makes no sense they’d have to release a shit ton of info and pokemon all next month….hopeing that there is more….

    Reply
    • why would they have to release “a shit ton of info”? all of this info is for creating hype so we buy the game and discover the rest by ourselves. it would be weird to reveal everything that is inside the game before its release.

      Reply
  288. Good news:

    “Next month’s CoroCoro to feature new Pokémon, (new Mega Evolutions) and type chart featuring the Fairy-type”

    Reply
  289. so mawile doesnt get an evolution then? it will forever have to be a mawile except in battle? why couldn’t it just evolve??? 🙁

    Reply
  290. To everyone saying Pokémon is starting to look more and more like Digimon, I’m sure you haven’t seen the recent Digimon. Does Pokémon have this?

    Reply
  291. Well, yesterday I was so skeptical about these new “Mega Evolutions” because I thought it was stupid, but today I wake up and I see at Serebii, some new information, some new images from Corocoro and I have to say that now I really enjoy this new information because it’s the boost that we need in some battles and to some of our favourite Pokemon!

    I also think that this is good for the metagame because it will remake the tiers and maybe give us things that we don’t expect!

    Reply
  292. Wait if Mewtwo goes into it’s awakened form by holding the mega stone, then that means there might not be a second form like people were saying(MewX, MewY).

    Reply
    • Mewtwo might have two Mega Evolutions by utilizing two different
      Mega Stones. These stones could possibly be Mewtwonite and Mewnite..

      Reply
  293. So, I was reading replies under NLque’s uber-upvoted comment and noticed someone made a very interesting comment.
    Derek Mcpike said: “This site claims the scans are fake. It also says the only real image is the Mewtwo.”

    What if this is all just some well-planned, well-thought-out, Photoshopped hoax?
    Maybe, maybe not? Not gonna lie, I’m kinda hoping it is… *fingers•crossed*

  294. after a good sleep and seeing confirmed news that mega forms are only within battle. i am growing to accept it. this would add another twist to competitive battling.. my only problem with mega forms now is that

    1) its clearly obvious that fan-fav mons are the only ones to get it, thus leaving out others! what if i want a mega dewgong, swalot or electrode?? it’s too unbalanced

    2) like the case with absol and mawile, many pokemon that NEED REAL EVOLUTIONS aren’t gonna get them

    Reply
  295. Pokémon.com updated the website w/lots of new information. It’s way more in depth than corocoro.

    Though they haven’t shown MegaAmpharos, MegaAbsol, and MegaMawile yet…

    All the Mega Stones are the pokemon’s name + ite. They all seem to be some sort of sphere with three different colored stripes. There are more specifications to MegaEvolution that haven’t been revealed yet.

    Super Training is accessible at any time during the game, along with Pokémon Amie. They are accessible through the touch screen.
    Different gamemodes for Super Training were revealed.

    Shalour city appears to be the city to the left of the desert (pokemon.com confirmed it is a seaside city). It’s gym leader is Korrina, and the gym puzzle requires you to roller skate & grind on things.

    The Mega tower appears to be Mont-Saint-Michel (not confirmed).

    Dedenne is still called Dedenne
    Horubii is now called Bunnelby, learns Dig
    Meekuru is now called Skiddo, Has sap sipper, learns Leaf Blade.

    Torchic distribution event will be available in Us and Uk (probabaly worldwide)

  296. Definitely liking Mega-lutions for Mewtwo, Lucario, and Absol. Hopefully the X&Y starters will get mega-lutions.
    And seriously, a “Lucario vs Mewtwo” fight, how long have we all been waiting for that?
