Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire: Mega Evolution

by

Welcome to Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

As you may remember, last year we had ran an ongoing set of feature articles in the run-up to the launch of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. We called the series Journey to X & Y and in it we explored a variety of different topics and ideas, creating some intense and interesting discussion. Due to some bad time management we cut the series short before we had covered each generation of Pokémon and never reached the third generation; a couple of months back however, we rebooted it with Generation 3. Then came the announcement of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire…

What better way to countdown to the release of Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire than with a new series of articles? (There is no better way, duh.) It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Much like J2XY this series will begin with articles every so often, then ramping up in the weeks before the games release. We’ll be bringing you different topics and ideas for discussion, as well us some interesting new things for the site, so keep an eye out!

First things first…

The first article in the series however feature on Mega Evolution. Now, a week or so ago some of you may have known that myself and a few other staff members were unable to publish articles due to an odd bug with the site. That’s fixed now. During the downtime I asked a certain someone if they would mind logging in to my account and seeing if they could access the publishing tools. That certain someone was DefensiveBastiodon (he also takes credit for my wonderful bio text and avatar).

I simply asked him to set up an article with a title to see if I could edit in my own post content. That’s not quite what I got though. Instead he had written out a full article for me. Usually I’m against publishing material others have created, because…I just like seeing my own work too much. Deleting it all would have felt a little harsh though. So, with full credit to my good friend DefensiveBastiodon I present to you the very first Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire!

Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire: Mega Evolutions

Pokémon X and Y introduced the world to Mega Evolutions back in 2013. Since then they have been accepted and have gained momentum as a popular way to change the tides of battle, despite the fans’ uncertainty about the idea when they were first revealed. Probably the most unfortunate part about their introduction was the small number of Megas actually released. It was like a missing spice in a new dish being served to the public, only waiting to slightly disappoint customers and cause them to rage until the next course; this next course being the long awaited return to the ever popular region, Hoenn, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in November.

With that being said, what new Mega Evolutions do you want to see in ORAS? We already know that there will be at least two new ones, Mega Latios and Mega Latias. There are the also possibilities of Swampert and Sceptile getting Mega Evolutions to coincide with their Fire-Type brethren, Blaziken. Not only that, but there are some ever so popular rumors of Plusle and Minun getting Megas, along with Metagross. It is highly doubtful that, although it was mentioned Mega Evolution was a feature exclusive to Kalos, it is something Game Freak would leave out of future games. What abilities would you like to see introduced alongside the new Megas? Would you like to see them in the after game or have some mysterious part in the main story?

From the looks of it, it seems that Groudon and Kyogre have new forms, but I’m leaning towards them being Megas as well. They have too many feature changes for me to accept them as a form change. “Alpha Form” and “Omega Form?” Who knows, it’s a possibility as well.

          • I just hate you so much
            No matter what i do i always lose, and the pain makes me want to hurt myself and others

          • Dude you keep me up at night because you drove me to clinical insanity because every loss reminds me how much of a loser i am in real life

          • I have no off line friends
            I’m effing overweight
            and every job employer never hires me
            and the one girl i care about i can never see

          • Well come on now >:( Don’t be like that! I have problems too yah know like I’m short for my age and no girl ever sees me as “hot”, just “cute in a little brother way”. I don’t let the little bad things in my life make me feel sad and neither should you 🙁

          • Its bad i’m socially awkward
            but i’m physically unattractive and mentally unstable

          • Everyone’s attractive in some way. Not just physically, and you have to find a way to show it off.

          • In High School some chick i knew tried to set me up with one of her friends and the girl bolted when she saw me

          • When then, she should have gotten to known you!
            Personality should always matter. I don’t get people that put looks over personality.

          • Time heals :3 That’s all I can really say. Some things stay with you, but it’s your choice if you want to let them go or not.

          • Time don’t heal these wounds
            They fester and grow weaker with each passing day because the wound keeps getting pulled by the cruel hand of life

          • I’m just trying to help. Time really does heal, you just need to choose it. You have to want it. Life might get in the way, but things happen and you just gotta move on.
            YOu can’t just hope for it, you have to really want it to go.

          • Everyone was an asshole and i was alone all High School
            And to top it all off i have a un curable Cluster Headache that just never goes away SINCE EFFING FIFTH GRADE

          • Well in my country we don’t treat people based on how they look. We treat them based on qualities. Like me, I’m the funny, clever one in my class 🙂 Everyone has a defining quality.

          • Well isn’t it obvi? She’s superficial. Stay away from those ones. They just prefer the guys with abs and great hair and stuff…

          • Personality! 😀 That’s what I go for. People have things about them that are attractive to some people. You just gotta find them 😀

          • Everybody has problems D: I’m overweight too. But I know it’s my body shape and I am proud to have it. If I hat eit so much, I would try to slim down a little.
            And I have had no boyfriends ever. I have had crushes that I realize are wrong for me/I don’t do anything. And I blame myself for that. I am trying to break out and not be like that anymore.
            Life’s life. Life can suck and it can also be nice. Shouldn’t let things like that get you down.

          • Life hates a lot of people 🙁 But don’t get so agitated by losses in video games D: They’re not representative of you in real life 🙂

          • Not as much as me
            I have nothing except my skill and confidence but because of you they’re gone

          • and they mean a lot to me
            And they’re the only thing i’m good at and you make me feel like a noob

          • How old are you anyway because if i’m getting all this grief from some punk ass kid the pain will just sting ten fold

        • not really xD I just played Pokemon, watched Youtube, and suggested a fakemon design today. Very productive I guess xD

          Reply

          • can i see you’re fakemon??
            oh and thats me too, training the pokemon that i will breed to use their offsprings in ORAS.

          • Nice xD
            And I didn’t draw anything, I just came up with an idea.
            I suggested a tiny, cute, ditzy dolphin base form that is just water. Then it will have a split evolution. One is, with a mind stone (a made up evolutionary stone), a water/psychic dolphin that is bigger and has a glowing mind that is purple and blue. The other, with leveling with a razor fang anytime, is a water/dark (I just made up the type, cause I realized that I didn;t have one xD) orca with razor sharp teeth.
            Someone drew the orca one.

          • Awesome! make it as skinny as dragalge loL! if he me gas probably leek, psychic with levitate ability (hopefully elektross mega evolves in oras)

    • OMG I haven’t seen you in ages! You probably don’t know me because the last time I saw you, I just used to look at comments as opposed to actually commenting.
