Mega Evolution: Who’s Next?

by

This post contains spoilers for Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. The comment section of this post will also contain spoilers for the upcoming games. Do NOT proceed it you wish to avoid details on the game.

When Mega Evolutions were revealed a couple of months back, fans were taken totally by surprise wondering what exactly we were being shown. Now that we understand just what Mega Evolutions are, we’re all guessing what Pokémon could be one of the select few to receive a Mega Evolution.

A while ago our close friend AAPF began researching trademark filings for Pokémon names. This research has previously uncovered Pokémon that have since received Mega Evolutions, and it seems highly likely that more Pokémon from this list will receive a Mega Evolution.

The following Pokémon have all had trademark registrations made for their names since the release of Black 2 & White 2, following the trend of other Pokémon with their names trademarked again there is a possibility these Pokémon will receive Mega Evolutions. Pokémon with a * next to their name have recently been confirmed.

  • Gengar*
  • Jynx
  • Gyarados*
  • Scizor
  • Tyranitar
  • Gardevoir*
  • Medicham
  • Banette
  • Abomasnow*
  • Kyogre
  • Kecleon
  • Latias
  • Latios
  • Pinsir
  • Aerodactyl*
  • Houndoom
  • Groudon
  • Aggron
  • Plusle
  • Minun
  • Sceptile
  • Rayquaza
  • Absol*
  • Heracross

It should be mentioned that this list is not a definitive list of Pokémon that could receive Mega Pokémon, that actual list could be a lot larger, or significantly smaller and we won’t find out until the games release. What Pokémon do you want to receive a Mega Evolution? Let us know!

  3. I’m avoiding news except for Josh for now. Vp is swarmed with assholes complaining about how horrible X and Y is going to be because it didn’t live up to their apparent standards for amount of Pokemon ingame. Never mind the 400 or so extra old gen Pokemon included for us to catch but whatever.

    Likewise, does anyone have an updated version of the ‘chart’ featuring new Pokemon?

    And has Kanpachi updated the dex yet on pastebin? There were a shit ton of empty spaces. Regardless if new or not I’m curious to what you can catch. Mightyena and Manectric already confirmed, I am so hyped, they never got enough love.

  7. Don’t forget, we still have 4 Pokemon from that list which we don’t know about, unless of course it’s Japanese names to leaked Pokemon we now know about.

    As for Post game stuff so far.
    -Zygarde
    -Mewtwo
    -Legendary Birds (Unconfirmed)
    -Battle Tower

    Anything I’ve missed?

  9. Hey guys. I’m going to take time and adress the crying and “critisism” about the game.

    1. Story: People have been complaining about the story for being simple but 1. Simple =/= bad 2. Story really doesn’t matter when it comes to how great a game is(i’ll get in to that later) and 3. I’d rather have a simple story than a complexed story that’s badly written like most modern RPG games.

    2. Gamplay: Now criticism about gameplay IS the most just since gameplay matters the most in a video game but there really is nothing to complain about. Yes it’s the same but what did you expect from the Main games and from what I hear the games are much harder this time arround.

    3. Gymleaders and E4 members have low numbers of Pokemon: Can’t argue against it so THAT is just criticism.

    4. Low number of Pokemon: This is to be exspected since the even games ALWAYS have lower number of Pokemon compared to odd gens. Also one of the biggest things people hated about the 4th and 5th gen is that there were too many legendaries well you got your wish so deal with it.

    5. Aftergame: The main game is already long enough and there reall isn’t much in the aftergames to begin with this is nothing new.

    6. Design of new Pokemon: The most stupid criticism thust far. Just because a Pokemon has questionable looks doesn’t it’s terrible but if a Pokemon has bad stats, and moves THEN YES it’s a terrible Pokemon. Also Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Keep in mind Mind guys, Most of us HAVE NOT EVEN PLAYED THE GAME, get the game then judge it for yourselves. I’m looking foward to X and Y aswell as battling online with you guys.

    • I agree in that it’s dumb to judge a game based on leaks. Obviously leakers cannot explore everywhere. We don’t even know that 70 is the cap and how many more megas there are.

      There are now well over 700 Pokemon, and GF is probably paranoid about that. Keep in mind that with every gen jump, GF is responsible for devving those Pokemon. They cannot just rehash old Pokemon every gen. Over 700 models with attacks and strategies and other features…that’s a lot to develop. Sure, the game isn’t a huge amount of space (which is a good thing for everyone wanting to DD it). But space doesn’t determine how much work goes into a game.

      Gym leaders never have had full rosters and post games have always sucked, the story was always made simple as the market is still younger children (even as they try to appeal to older fanbases). What people like is a giant hit and miss. People should enjoy what they like and accept what they don’t care for because someone else might like it.

      Anyone who dislikes this game based on phone pictures are judgmental assholes.

      • Yeah, I had ben thinking that soon, we are very easily going possibly hit 1000 Pokemon. And, just you’d think there HAS to be a limit to it some time. How many Pokemon can we TRULY have?

    • I disagree with the story part. I enjoy games that tell a captivating story. Though I love Pokemon the story telling could be a lot better, its a shame GameFreak took a step backwards from B/W/B2/W2 because it was a step in the right direction.

      • Yeah they did have a competemt story, not the greatest but good nonetheless. But that’s the not only reason why the 5th was so good(best until now In my opinion). I DO enjoy games with good story but Gameplay is still the most important factor.

  11. If there is a mod around, Entei and Darkrai need adding to the list as unconfirmed Pokemon to receive a Mega Evolution. Shofu posted a tweet a few days ago mentioning they apparently have one.
