  1. Hm*looking at the descriptions* Well, Mega Mawile is doing what I expected, its defense and special defense go extremely high. I figured it would do this because Huge Power will more than compensate for it’s attack, so raising that any higher would make it ridiculously high. Though… I’m reading Mega Absol’s. And one of the descriptions is curious.

    “With Mega Absol’s increased Speed, the Night Slash move with its High Critical-Hit chances becomes even more potent.”

    I know in Generation 1, a high speed meant critical hits were more likely to happen. But I could’ve sworn that was removed… meaning… are they putting that back in?

  2. All the Megamon are shown battling other pokemon that can Mega-evolve with only a few deviations- Gyarados, Hydreigon, etc. does this mean the pokemon like Gyarados and Hydreigon may receive Mega-evolutions?

    • Well, I think there is a chance. Hydreigon and Gyarados are some really badass Pokemon, like Blaziken and Mewtwo, They are great in battling and overall, I can see them getting a Mega-evolution. Gyarados most likely than ever, because it looks incomplete. Hydreigon may get one, but I won’t count on it. They seem like Pokemon that will get Mega-Evolutions, anc cahnces in my opinion are quite high. Hell, if they gave Kangaskhan one, why not? 😀

    • If Gyarados is going to have a Mega Evolution, so should Milotic, due to both evolving from weak fish and same base stat (though their offensive stats are switched), though Gyarados destroys and Milotic becalms.

      Also, I see potential Fairy-typing in Milotic (that and Gyarados has dual types while Milotic has one), so if they add Fairy-type, I’m ok with it.

      • plus, if they took the initiative to retype Gyarados to Water/Dragon for it’s Mega form, Milotic being Water/Fairy would be a fantastic contrast for the two.

  3. I Don’t Care If Pokemanz Is Dabbling in All The Greatest Shows Of My Childhood… I Won’t Deny They Are Doing It, The Other Shows Didn’t Last So Bring It ALL In At Once And Give Me The BEST Thing EVER Created Since Leftover Pizza All In One And Through The Name Pokémon X and Y On It Because THATS What This Game Is…… THE BEST! ( *-* )

  4. Man the art in this Game is Amazing it looks Just like the anime in the Battles.. I hope by the time We Get a HD 3DS the anime will take a step forward so the games designs will improve even more also.. No more pretending that my Pokémon is doing something super awesome when I press the Atk button.. Now I can Actually see it… OCTOBER CANT COME FAST ENOUGH…. I have never been This Hype for a Pokémon game before… ( 0_0 )

  6. You know how most Everyone disses Ash for his battling style and say he is week.. but what if Pokémon battles in his world are all well.. difficult.. I mean what if Every battle was like a competitive Wifi battle… Anything could happen and in that world EV training would take up a TON more time and Breeding would be left for specialist likely also.. Finding legendary’s and exploring a Region would Take A Lot More Time… Maybe the show creators are thinking on a more Realistic level..

  7. What if one of us commenters was a GF employee sent to find out what we think about the pokemon and what we want in the games in the future? They could just pretend they were a fan, just like everyone else. It could be any one of us… .-.

  8. I think ths articule quickly sums up and effectively Why Digimon failed.. without being a hater… the writer said the truth.. Digimon is still around though to some degree with a new game coming out I will play
