FEATURED DISCUSSION: Mario Kart 8 by Malachite
If you want the honest truth. I king of expected new abilities for Mega Swampert and Sceptile. Kind of like Blastoise with Mega Launcher.
I think this is on of the Pokemon games that I don’t really care for re-designing my trainer! I think Brendon looks cool! But, May is a bit to basic! Customization my come back! But if it doesn’t come back, I hope for other skin tones!
They can legit put effects like if i chose darker skin, the skin of the parents would also become darker or lighter depending on the skin tone i chose.
Imagine Mega Swampert Hammer Arm
Sableye+Wilo-wisp
Dude, i’m seriously getting pissed off about people doing this to me
Ok im done now
Muddy Water.
The only competitive viable grass type moves Sceptile could learn are Giga Drain and Solarbeam.. And without the Giga Drain TM, it couldn’t learn it at all as a Sceptile.. The Physical route is where they should’ve went with but eh, we’ll see in a few months
tho with tutors it learned dragon pulse
True, but Sceptile is lacking moves on the special side :/
Treecko learns Giga Drain, just level it up without evolving and BAM, Giga Drain :3
Great. Sceptile now has 6 weaknesses and can be one hit ko’d by anything with ice shard. Aswell as that, its ability boosts sp atk even though all of its best attacks are physical. My favourite pokemon ever will never be good competitively 🙁
Imagine how hard the ice gym will be? LOL
hoenn doesnt have an ice gym
you mean ice elite four?
Isn’t the last gym in Sootopolis ice?
nah its water
Luckily there is no ice gym in hoen, but a whole lot of water. Still going to use it in game. As treecko was the first pokemon I ever used
So Diancies rock evolves into a Diamond. Nice.
Also no one speculating this Prehistoric Kyogre and Groudon. Wonder of these will work just like Megas.
They work exactly like mega’s, just a name change.
The name change is probably for story purposes. It’s actually interesting to note, that the prehistoric versions will technically be stronger than the modern ones. Seems evolution went backwards.
Yep. They’re called “Ancient Devolution” instead of “Mega Evolution” so they gain their power by going backwards. I’m calling Zygarde getting an Ancient Devo
Being asleep for so long must be why :O I love this idea xD
Not Megas actually
Refresh
Also it even states that they are a form
They happen during battle, they’re known as “Ancient Devo” as opposed to “Mega Evo”. They work exactly like mega evolutions. They’re not your regular form change.
It isn’t confirmed, that could be just a cinematic for when they change form. Stop assuming everything is a mega evolution. It is known as a fact that a mega evo is when the bonds between humans and pokemon connect with friendship to unleash their hidden power. MELOETTA isn’t a mega and neither is giratina so just take it as a form change and not a evo or mega.
But this isn’t a normal mega evo. It’s a devo. lmfao
Is not even a devo it’s even called prehistoric form
Straight from serebii. Nowhere does it mention form. “Groudon & Kyogre’s new “Mega Evolutions” are known as Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Groudon & Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Kyogre and are said to be a regression called Ancient Devolution.”
I like Mega Sceptile the most designwise, but…that typing…why? It’s weak to Flying, Poison, Bug, Fairy, Dragon, and a 4x weakness to Ice
And Lightning Rod seems really purposeless since Grass/Dragon would 4x resist Electric anyway
It’s been.
Months.
well, I heard/saw the news, so I decided to pay a little visit I guess lol
It’s 50%Psychic!!!!!!!!!!!
Xatu 😀 How’re you 😀 What starter will u choose in ORAS? Oh!Did u know that I MM’ed a shiny natu <3
I’m doing very well, thanks! I’ll be getting Alpha Sapphire and choosing Mudkip, while my friend is getting Omega Ruby and choosing Treecko. And yeah, I did hear about that 😀
You know Im really ha@ppy for M Sceptile, but what im really waiting for M Torterra! #<3Torttera
LOL

He needs to work more on his legs though…
#LegDay
I expected that.xD
Mudkip’s eyes in the background…there souless
it looks depressed xD
i have something similar the memes are strong
I knew it. Sceptile for smash, it’s going to happen.
That would be the best. It would complete the starter type trifecta.
I’m interested in seeing mega diancie ability and stat distrubition. I wonder if any more malls Pokemon will get mega’s
You mean Kalos? 😮
I’m kinda over this already.
Hopefully we get more news because this was not satusfying in the least.
Satisfying***
But…we got 3 new megas…new character art for over 10 people, a few screen shots, confirmation of bikes, mega evolution, and de evolution…that’s not satisfying?
This has been a VERY EARLY leak…there may be more, in the past when corocoro has leaked this early…more pages have leaked a day or two later. If not then E3 and GetTV will undoubtable have some footage. I think the leaked E3 game list the other day mentioned a trailer and gameplay footage for ORAS so i think there will be some more..and this is coming from someone who likes to be cautious with optimism 🙂
I don’t know why Steven Stone should get a charizard x. He should have a mega metagross or something.
He is searching for Stones. He might find the Metagross one in his travels and use it against us in the Champion Battle
we don’t know if thats the mega he will use in elite 4. given that he gives us a beldum in his empty home post game.
Would have been even awesomer if mega swampert had sap sipper
abilities are tasteful and makes sense. Mud Skipper’s don’t sip sap.
But a huge draconic gecko conducts electricity? :3
Yes, it has the little rods/bulbs on its back.
Those are to absorb light, not electricity. It should have got. Chlorophyll if that were the case.
Geckos don’t conduct electricity and live
Could you guys slow down the hype comments?? Lol
My computer is going b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
APPLES!
I made a meme XD
So in that one Steven shot, where do you guys propose that is. I can’t quite place it, but looks like Fallobar Town
i would assume route 120…(its one of the few places you meet Steven Stone that has grass…)
The only problem is there appears to be a river in the scan, but no river in route 120 :c
Megaswampert don’t play.
Thanks to Heavvy now I’m going to have a shiny team in ORAS too. I only have Natu. Mudkip is the next <3
Okay, we’ve moved past analysis of the leaks and have gone straight to speculation and hopes. I’m gone…… for now lol
BYE NICK!
I’ll be back with a review of your 80pg essay thingy 🙂
Okay…
(Read this in Lumpy Space princess’s voice while looking at my profile pic)
But the story might still change!!! Serebii has leaked a photo that hasn’t been leaked on pokejungle, which is a closeup image of steven and it shows him using a mega charizard x! hopefully that was the trainer’s pokemon and not his … :/
It’s level 100 so it’s most likely isn’t
it’s a level 80
It says “1 0 0”
I think I might be picking Swampert for my Playthrough. I actually love that Mega design. One of the better ones in my opinion.
ditto, but only because they severely effed up sceptile’s mega
The only good thing is it counters Rotom-W xD
why does a pokemon with a 4x resistance to electric, need lightning rod for an ability? ;___;
It should have got an immunity to ice moves and an increase in attack when hit by one. New ability would have been great.
grass/dragon has to be one of the wonkiest typings ever
sceptile REALLY needs an immunity to ice, anything with ice shard will destroy it
I completely agree xD Scroll back a ton for my feelings on it. I was sad and pissed off earlier xD Unfortunately I have to accept it and find a way to make Mega Sceptile work well in Singles. Probably running a Substitute set
Wait…i just noticed…Kyogre and Grodoun are lvel 100 in there pics…
I like the new HP bar… it’s very reminiscent to the old days.
Is this the end of the leaks for this issue? 😮
I’m content with what we’ve got but I’m just wondering if there’s like ONE other page that shows us getting Johto starters as well or something.
Remember that we got Johto starters for Completing the Hoenn Dex in the original RSE.
Also, Mega Swampert’s sprite is around 35% done.
the elaks will probably end by tomorrow
*Daleks.
Why do you say its not done?
You didn’t give enough context to inform me of what you mean o_o by the sprite not being done, i meant a 2D sprite like the way that they made it in the GBA and DS era games. The things used in the 3DS era are Rendered and cell shaded 3D models.
If you meant the leaks, i didn’t say that it wasn’t done. I was wondering if there would be more pages yet to be leaked.
oh ok.
