FEATURED DISCUSSION: Mario Kart 8 by Malachite














Well Xatu-san, you were right. There really will be a Mega Diancie (for some reason). I still believed you though.
Archie no longer has @movingg:disqus ‘s facial hair 😮
Normal Groudon and Kyogre are “evolved” forms of Atom Groudon and Kyogre. As time went on, Groudon and Kyogre began to “evolve” to suit their new environment. However, Team Magma finds out that by exploiting this “Mega” energy, they can de-evolve Groudon and Kyogre to their Original Form. Team Aqua finds this absurd and wants to obtain Groudon and Kyogre for something else and not allow them to de-evolve. FUTURE VS PAST begins and it’s your job to see to it that neither team accomplish their mission.
UUUhhhhh that kyogre vs groudon art tho??? 😀
I think I’ve defected to team Aqua….they just got so much cooler. I’m sorry Magma…
Oh yeah, small little detail. It says Kyogre and Groudon become Prehistoric through “nature’s energy,” what ever that could mean.
Xerneas!
Hoenn’s love
M-Swampert = Quilladin. We will grow to love it soon like everything else in Pokemon.
But i still dislike Quilladin.xDD Love my Chesnaught though.
XD
Who here hates MegaSwampert?? It’s so much cooler than MegaSceptile in my book. (Although I still like it)
Is it just me, or does it look like May and Brendan’s eyes got really big? I mean. May’s eyes looks like Shauna’s eyes, but blue.
She does kinda look like Shauna..I don’t really like Brendans new art too much. I mean, his hair isn’t even black anymore ;-; I’ll live though..
Who is this “downvoting monster?” It’s down-voting everything I and Chico write…
It’s okay. We’re just too fahhbulous. 🙂
lol XD
I voted for Mega Diancie because IMO Mega Sceptile = Mega Swampert, Brendan and May’s outfits are the same and other is……. other 😀
I’m loving Mega Dianci!
No, May’s outfit is just a tank top now and es a little tighter 😉
M-Sceptile, 7.5/10, ability could have been better but that’s what makes it unique
M-Blaziken, 7.0/10, I hate Uber Pokemon 😀
M-Swampert, 9.5/10, very original and one of those under-rated Pokemon
Mega Diancie, quite random, no? I mean, what role will it have in ORAS, if any?
As exciting as this Hoenn Hyped Vibe is, Ima flee to have breakfast and think longer about these scans. Also, I’m going to a party. So yeah…
Probably won’t be back until later this evening.
It looks exactly like X and Y 🙁
Nononono different background in the battle.
I’m not being rude at all, but what did you expect?
Like more animated.
Well it’s a still photo, plus it’s on the 3DS, so… -_-
True, but it is still Gen VI so obviously won’t be all that different from XY
Just think, with each gen, the graphics will get just that tad better
not really, the brendan + steven scene looks more sharp-imaged.
Milotic, Mega Dianci would like to battle you for the throne of “most beautiful Pokemon.” XD
😮 Mega Diancie has no chance! xD
Wow 108 comments in less then 7 mins
Inb4 Heavy changes has Avatar to Mega Diancie 😮
Anyone else think that Swift Swim + the Bulk it’ll get from Mega evolving, M.Swampert is gonna be a real threat?
Absolutely, I was just about to comment on that. Assuming from artwork, it gains bulk but looses speed. Then swift swim kicks in on a rain team and you’re got a real problem on your hands.
😀 I’m so happy! You should really know. I’m in the Happy Hour. From Unova to Hoenn.
Still has the 4x weakness to grass though q.q hopefully it gets a better movepool with more egg moves and ice moves 😮
Yeah, but with the assumed added bulk, it may be able to take one grass move. Who knows? xD
Um Grass Knot tho.
Rain Dance on it is like Tailwind. 🙂
It’ll be a terror. At worse, either Swampertite will be banned to uber, or Drizzleswim will be complex banned again. (From Smogon OU)
It has the potential to be an absolute monster. Already has base 100 HP, base 90 Def and SpDef. Assuming that it will lose some Speed from base 60 to either 40, 45, or 50, it’ll get massive Def and SpDef boosts and probably a small Atk boost. Couple that with Rain Dance to make Swift Swim… just my goodness.
I’m so sick of this over-designed mega evolution crap.
.___________________________________.
its not overdesigned… White Kyurem is over designed and i dont even hate him. Which mega are you even talking about?
I think all mega evos tend to be over designed. They literally just added new spikes to most of them- Aerodactyl, Lucario, Garchomp, etc. For Sceptile they just added sharper lines and more pods on his back. I just don’t like the direction mega evolution is taking the series in.
You’ll get used to it.
I just completely ignore mega evolution. I still hate all of the X/Y mega evos. It’s just such a cheap, tasteless gimmick.
Some megas are ridiculous *cough* mega Manectric *cough* but I actually think these are really cool.
Oh my goooddddd Hoenn in 3d looks amazing
GUYS no more Shelly
It is now Courtney
lol courtney i love that name
that’s Magma 😛
Oh lol
I still love the name courtney
Nevermind Shelly is still here!!!

MOST BEAUTIFUL POKEMON FORUM
PLEAASE VOTE!
Done.
Thank you. 😀
I voted for Mega Diancie. Compared to her, Milotic is a over-rated fish :O
What about Mega Gardevoir! 🙂
She’s ummm… different. 😀
ONE more thing, the Kyogre and Groudon in game pics’ subtext hint at a new move for both!
Did they hint at new abilities?
Doesn’t mention at all.
Omg stahp ur hyping me too muccchhh
It’ll be their signature moves for sure.
off topic but does anyone have an eevee with anticipation that also knows hypervoice?

There is no logic D: Tough Claws, nope. Protean, nope. Anything else they coulda given it over this. The only positive is at least it didn’t keep Unburden ;~;
Pm :DDD !
I will gladly 😀
JK we don’t PM :,(
I’d rather have Truant.
I’d flip worse than I am now lol
But then he would never show up and become unreliable!
The bulbs on it’s back converts electric energy to solar or something like that?
It’s so bad competitively in Singles. Let alone you have to Mega Evolve first to even begin trying to take advantage of it
SO this guy… he’s Serebii Joe?
Yes 😛
Yup.
I agree but still, Lightning Rod may stop those pesky T-Wave teams!!! I hate T-Wave. I would pull trigger if they destroyed my favorite Pokemon: Yanmega but, it’ll grow on me. I’m sure it’ll grow on you and you may even find it amazing and unique! 😀
Lightning Rod means it’s gonna have to learn some Electric Type moves
That’s not half bad, because it’ll cover Flying. (even though Electric and Grass are redundant against water)
