FEATURED DISCUSSION: Mario Kart 8 by Malachite
I don’t understand why people are Okay with Forms but hate megas
o______________________________________________________________o
Who here hates megas?
Not just here. I’m talking about Pokemon fans in general.
Me, I despise them and I think they are a stupid idea, bai
I don’t like them in concept, but it’s the only way for Pokemon that have already reached their third stage to reach a “fourth stage”. Otherwise it’s a complete waste.
I hate megas. And I’m okay with formes because formes were (mostly) kept for legendaries, and never interfered with the creative process of actual evolutions for pokemon that needed it; I fear megas will do that.
But that doesn’t mean that a Pokemon can no longer actually evolve. There are pokemon that have megas that could possibly still evolve. There are also pokemon that are fully evolved with megas.
We might have to wait until the 7th gen to see whether old pokemon will actually get new evos anymore, or just megas. In the meantime watch GF spew megas all over Hoenn…
It’s fine. People will get used to it.
I like megas over forms. I’ve never liked forms. I like megas because they’re temporary forms.
I think people should just ignore Megas if they don’t like them. Unless they’re in competitive battles.
Aren’t formes temporary as well?
Looks like they gave two shots of an in-game area. Seems to be the route on the right of Fortree City (you’re crazy if you think I can remember the name). And from what I can tell, the graphics are slightly sharper, just as I had hoped.
Wat. Good God man, if you can tell graphics are sharper from these then you’re some kind of wizard.
Yes I can! The color of the water is more blue and the grass is greener.
That would be saturation. Not sharpness. 😉
Actually i dotn think that charizard is stevens I’m positive about it
that charizard si lv 100
no ingame trainer EVER has a lv 100 (nt including battle facilities)
I hope so. Mega-Aggron just makes so much more sense, y’know?
pfft mega metagross all the way
Yooooo. Don’t be putting these unattainable dreams in my head, dawg!
I thought it was just showing a mega charizard to show how he’s researching mega evolution…Steven uses steel types and zard is not one of those..
exactly what i was saying! it makes no sense
I continue to wait patiently for Mega Lati@s’ official reveal.
Earthen is going to love mega swampert. It looks a bit like Seismitoed lol
I was here from the very start of the leaks
ahh I didn’t see you =(
do you like the leaks?
I love Mega Swampert immensely
And i’m enjoying the Sh*tstorm due to Mega Sceptile having Lightning Rod
lmao
Mega Swampert >>>>> Mega Sceptile
Because of customization, TrollFreak will spend less time drawing thee protagonists of each game.
Why does the Magma Admin look like the stay puft Marshmallow man?
i love the sshirtless one again XD
Admiral Stab Beefchest
LOL You can actually see the shirtless one burst through his shirt!
As do I.
B/c ur on drugs 😉
Nope.
Yeppppppp
Tabitha?
Shelly looks, ok…
I preferred the old one
I love Shelly always
I thought she looked stupid before to be honest…but now she’s sweet looking.
Everyone is so hyped about Sceptile’s predictable Mega typing, and I’m just sitting here thinking about its new x4 weakness to Ice.
My Glalie will have some fun.
So will my Froslass.
#FocusBlastImmunity!!!
#darkpulse
Shhhh, don’t ruin my dreams…..
More love to ice types 😀
Kyurem says get wrecked!
Meh.. I’m not worried.. thats what switching out is for.
Ily
more love for mega walrien 😉
Castform hail-form will reck it 😀
OMG OMG OMG i just looked up close on stevens pic
on his hand he has 2 RINGS 2 mega rings :O :O
i know its highly not possible, but if he has mega charizard, he could still have mega meta
Why does he even have Char X? It seems so random XD
i say its not his nobody can determine its his
Maybe he has both? Hence the 2 rings.
Because MegaZardX hasn’t had enough appearances.
*shoots himself, but back jaw accidentally eats the bullet*
I say its just to teach us/demonstrate mega evolution
Steven has always had those rings xD
dream crusher ;~; jk
It looks like he also has some on his other hands as well….multiple mega evolutions in battle?? 😮
I have a feeling Mega Charizard is being used for flying him around and for demonstrating mega evolution.
The game follows the originals, so my bottom dollar says we will get metagrossite from his home in mossdeep city post-game. I feel damn sure of it. He leaves a beldum for us in his home, just like Diantha gave us her Ralts.
And maybe he discovers being able to use 2 mega while in hoenn!! 😀
No thank you. The restriction is/was part of the strategy and I don’t think TrollFreak plans on being so liberal.
Only Steven can use it.
Hasn’t he always had two rings? And two things round his arms. FOUR MEGAS.
Lol, never even noticed his rings. Had a total fangirly ‘Oh haaaiii Steven!’ moment.
So Mega Swampert is pretty much the new Mega Ampharos, with all the memes and stuff.. No one takes them seriously haha xD
I forgot Ampharos had a Mega… This comment is so true.
I take Armadillo Shrek seriously ;~;
More like MegaSceptile is the new MegaAmpharos with the dragon typing.
But he actually makes sense
This looks a lot like Mega Swampert, just more red.
Mega Blaziken, Uber
Mega Sceptile, OU –> Uber (Once people know how to utilize him)
Mega Swampert, UU –> OU
THINK ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE MEGA SWAMPERT CAN SET OFF WITH THEM BEEF ARMS
It’s Atk stat will probably skyrocket as well as it’s Def and Sp. Def but it’ll have decreased speed.
Maybe i’ll breed that Mudkip after all
But what moves
I want to try a Counter Mirror Coat set but still deciding
Normal swampert is better, it can absorb water attacks with damp however the true thing is this. With base 60 speed under rain it’s pretty underwhelming and if it gets lowered to let’s say 50 speed, it’s even worse. It will always be a bulky attacker but giving him swift swim was a TERRIBLE mistake game freak could have made, I have no way of seeing getting ANY faster
mega sceptile the rotom killer
Mega Sceptile gives me a Mega Manectric vibe.. Becomes OU deep into XY’s lifetime
One thing. Maxie looks so badass, I didn’t think he could get more badass…..but he just got more badass.
Also did team Aqua go black?
Gangsta pirates. I’m down with that.
hoenn IS tropical
Too much sun
They learned from Marlon
Lightning Rod for Mega Sceptile….seems odd. But come I on an electric attack, get the +1, then proceed to wreck shit.
The thing is you’ll have to have Mega Evolved first earlier in the battle. It’s gonna be really tricky, but it’s also the ultimate Rotom-W counter
Yep. It will have to be an early game mega evolving to pull it off. Too bad it won’t be able to get Draco Meteor though, since it’s not dragon in base form.
Exactly my plan.
No more Volt Switchers, Thunder Waves etc.
I’m telling you, every Double battle, Sunny Day team will see M-Sceptile being used.
EMEGRESHHH!!! MEGA SCEPTILE!!!! MEGASSSZZ I FREAKIN OUT!!!!!………ok….im good now…This is awesome….I herd you leik murder…
Lightning Rod
No more Volt Switch, Thunder, T-Wave! 😀
I guess for T-Wave but notbody would even use electric moves on a Grass Type anyway
Volt Switch to something different even if it does 4x resist it.
rotlmfao IAN
I feed on the suffering of nerds!
…….tears…why lighting rod? it makes NO sense!
I wonder if Team Aqua and Team Magma will appear in the Anime again. It was unnecessary for Team Rocket to appear in AG and DP because, well, they were already there.
There will now be pictures of Mega Swampert at the Hoenn gyms (human gyms, not pokemon gyms) XD
So um, hi.
aight bbz
You look like Archie now XD
Someone said I didn’t below. What is this. Do I, don’t I??!?@!@3
Go get a tan, then yeah!
You reckon?
Hai!
Do you know what I like most about Mega Swampert’s round design?
It’s plush is going to be sooooo squishy! XD
Must…teach it…ROLLOUT!!!
I’ll put weights inside the plush and it will serve as a bowling ball!
Reminds me of Quilladin.
I want trailers of walking around in beautiful tropical 3D Hoenn soon. Those teeny screenshots are such a tease.
Tabithas new apperance looks like he fused his old self with this (refresh)
i hate his new look
I am actually glad Steven wasn’t redesigned too much. He already looked perfect. And it seems he has a more active role.
The fangirls would’ve gone on the rampage if he’d been redesigned!
TC… you’re great at battling so I’d thought I’d ask you. For a Timid Sceptile, would HP Fire be okay on it? Or should I go for 5 ivs?
HP Fire isn’t bad at all! It’s hard to get so that’s why people usually go for HP Ice over it.
I think I will breed for HP Fire, specially since it gets some dragon stab now to take care of those dragons.
*Breeds Shiny with HP Fire* XD
Will Get Star TV be worth watching today?
Only for Next week’s previews lol
Just the ending cause it’ll show the preview with the big ? and Kawaii girl shouting KAWAAIII
I guess Lightningrod makes some sense because it absorbs the sun’s light with its back seeds.
It should have gotten Chlorophyll.
YES! i was thinking that at some point cause then itll match swampert with utilizing the weather for power
But then fire moves will hurt it even more in the sun =(
Although that wouldve been cool to take advantage of solar beam
Yeah. xD
I’ve always wanted a green Pterodactyl as the first Dragon/Grass type. 😀
