  1. Yes! I love it when you post articles yourself. It just makes them so much more special. :3

    Anyway, PJ, what do you think of these new Mega-Evolutions?

      I actually like Mega Evolutions, but I feel like Absol and Mawile should have had these as normal evolutions. Being able to only use them in battle takes away from them a bit, but I see how it can be helpful for a 3-stage evolutionary family to transcend the previous limits.

      I want a normal Dunsparce evolution, not a Mega one ;-;

    I just realized why Korrina looks so familiar. Whitney!!! The share the same smile and the way the hold their left hands! They must be related somehow! And think about it: Whitney => Rollout => Rollerblades => Korrina!!!

  8. Mega Mawile looks so cute, and I really love the music that’s playing!
    The music kinda reminds me of some Shin Megami Tensei games somehow

  13. Was that…. the anime narrator? And that rock music really felt like something from Mighty Morphin Power rangers xD

    Anyhow, the 2D art really didn’t do the mega formes justice. They look spectacular in 3D.

    • I find it weird that Mega Absol’s ‘wings’ are lacking all the definition of the 3D model, with the layers, whereas the art makes it just look like one large ‘wing’

  14. Its interesting, one of the blurbs on the website for mega ampharos says that changing type in the middle of a battle can throw an opponent off, this makes it sound like pokemon don’t automatically mega evolve when you send them out, and you choose when they do.

  16. By the way, I’m a bit worried about being able to bring use Mega Mawile because it starts with low stats. The site says that its Defense and Special Defense get a huge boost, so hopefully I can Mega Evolve it before takes much damage…

    Which brings me to something I’ve been wondering about. If it can use Intimidate before Mega Evolving, how much defense will it end up with? If that’s possible of course.

  17. If Honedge doesn’t have an evolutive line, then I hope we get a Mega Honedge so that that thing can get a better design. I also hope Mega Empoleon keeps Empoleon’s coolness rather than becoming ugly like Prinplup. And what if we get a Mega Arceus? How will they handle the Multitype? 17 different Arceusnites? Or will they give it a new ability based on type change?

    Also, will every Legendary gets one? If this happens, Hidenori Kusaka will have to think of a way to include all of them in the manga since the story wll take place in Kalos, a completely unrelated region to the previous ones.

    I wonder, though, if the Mega Evolutions will have any sort of implication on Prof. Nanamakado (Rowan). His field of study is Pokémon Evolution, so what will happen if we ever get Gen. IV remakes? Will they retcon his dialogue about Pokémon Evolution? Will he appear in X/Y? Is he related to Koruni (Korrina)?

    By the way, this Mega Evolution thing reminds of a fanfic I thought once but never wrote were Mutant Pokémon have the power to use Mutant Evolution and access a fourth evolution, unavailable to ordinary Pokémon, at will, and return to their previous form. Charizard’s Mutant Evolution was named Charaptor, and Venusaur’s was named Florasaur, these are the only ones I named. Now, if I ever write that fanfic, I’ll probably have to rethink this.

    Also, I’m a bit disappointed by Mega Mewtwo having Insomnia rather than an all-new, signature Ability. Maybe the other form will have this, assuming the PokéBeach leaker didn’t mistake Mega Mew for a Mewtwo form.

    • I believe that there will be only one arceus, cause you use the mega stone as a hold item, so arceus will be normal type, or normal/Fairy maybe.

    • I think after this reveal, we can all assume that the Pokebeach leaker threw in some fake info with the stuff they revealed.

        • It would be nice for a lot more to be revealed. More than 6. A Mega Scoop of the Century, if you know what I mean. After all, next month’s CoroCoro will be the second to last, considering there should be another one that will leak October 8-11, before the games come out on the 12th. Hopefully we will get more Mega Evolutions during the Pokemon Game Show next week and at Gamescom in Germany and wherever else the demos will take place at. Hopefully we get them too! 😀

    • Insomnia seems like a random ability, but it can be useful too, it can counter darkrai’s dark void and the annoying smeargle with spore.

  19. i wonder if and how mega pokemon will use difrent moves then before? i saw ampharos use dragon pulse in the trailer… i also hope there’s an overview trailer on mega evolutions closer to release, some things just seem unclear.

  21. Man, sometimes i wish some spot on rumor will just come and get rid of at least some of the waiting and tension of this game! when i think 2 mounths it’s not a big deal, but 60 days… uggg. But soon all the waiting will be worth it! 8]

  23. I agree with a lot of people that some of these Mega forms could have been evolutions, for the first stagers like Mawile and Absol. But it’s better than nothing and will hopefully make them more usable.

    I think having Mega evolutions will be useful for Pokemon who already have three stages (but need that extra something), and also for Pokemon that have been around for a long time/already look “complete”, and would be spoiled by a conventional “evolution”, but could use some extra flair/buff. E.g. Mewtwo, Kangaskhan, Gyarados (big contender, I’m crossing my fingers for Water/Dragon), Arcanine, Scizor, Steelix, Tropius.
