  17. If you go search this up, you’ll get quite a few news articles on the news of Mega Meganium, Mega Feraligatr, and Mega Typhlosion!!! This is an article I pasted onto here:

    “Pokemon X and Y news time! We’ve had plenty of Poke news to go around since the announcement of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire with the Gen 3 starters — Sceptile, Swampert and Blaziken — getting Mega Evolutions, but what about Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr? Don’t worry they will receive Mega Evolutions too…just not this year.

    Let me explain. Pokemon X and Y was released October of 2013, and the newly announced Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Gen 3 remakes will be dropping November of 2014, and with it Mega Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr. This is a trend Nintendo and the Pokemon Company have continually done since the introduction of the franchise in 1998.

    Here is every single Pokemon handheld game with their respective release dates:

    Pokemon Red and Blue – September 1998

    Pokemon Yellow – October 1999

    Pokemon Gold and Silver – October 2000

    Pokemon Crystal – July 2002

    Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire – March 2003

    Leaf Green and Fire Red – September 2004

    Pokemon Emerald – May 2005

    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl – April 2007

    Pokemon Platinum – March 2009

    Heart Gold and Soul Silver – March 2010

    Pokemon Black and White – March 2011

    Black 2 and White 2 – October 2012

    Pokemon X and Y – October 2013

    Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire – November 2014

    See the pattern? Nintendo and the Pokemon Company have periodically shipped a new Pokemon game once a year — with the exception of some titles that would ship a few months late. This can only mean another title will be dropping in the final quarter of 2015 if not the first quarter of 2016.

    So what game will be coming out in 2015/16 with the inclusion of Mega Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr? It’s very unlikely a Gen 2 remake for the 3DS will happen considering Heart Gold and Soul Silver was released not four years ago. A remake of a remake? No thank you.

    Perhaps it’s the long-fabled Z version with the legendary Zygarde on the cover. Imagine playing through the X/Y companion game and instead of having a choice of Gen 1 starter — Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur — you get to choose a Gen 2 starter. And of course that will include their corresponding mega stones. Would be a nice subtle touch to the game.

    Or maybe it’s the Delta Emerald version that Nintendo filed a trademark for. Or a sequel to X and Y, Black and White style, with the aforementioned switch of Gen 1 starters with Gen 2 starters. (X^2/Y^2?)

    If my money was on the line, the next Pokemon game with Mega Typhlosion, Feraligatr and Meganium will be the Z version. Going back to the release dates, when Ruby and Sapphire first were released in 2003 the order was R&S then Leaf Green and Fire Red — the Gen 1 remake — then Emerald, the companion to Ruby and Sapphire. Since the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire are on their way after X and Y, the next game should be a companion to Gen 6 to complete the Poke sandwich.

    And why wouldn’t I believe the Gen 2 starters will get a Mega evolution? Every Poke and their Kangaskhan mother have received a mega evolution (over exaggeration, but you know what I mean), and that includes Gen 1 and 3 starters, some random Pokes, some legendary Pokemon like Mewtwo, Latios and Latias, Primeval Kyogre and Groudon, and even Diancie, a Pokemon that hasn’t even been distributed yet.”

    HOPE THIS IS TRUE

    • very interesting read.

      I was thinking about how much Kalos is like Kanto, how Kanto connected to Johto and had 16 badges; I can imagine that the new game will have new Pokemon, a new region, 16 badges again (8 in new region & 8 in kalos), 2 elite fours with 2 different champions. I really hope its in 2015, 2016 is tooo far lol.

      Also to note, Black & White was released on DS, an entire new gen, whereas Diamond & Pearl was also released on DS. So two gens technically shared a handheld. I can totally see this happening again. Gen 6 sharing the 3DS with Gen 7 (or Gen 6.5)

      • That’s exactly what I thought when I read the article. It’s not what I think, it’s the news that has been going around. Of course there is equal possibilities that other gen starters will get mega evolutions before Gen 2, however the news that is going around. But who doesn’t want gen 2 megas!!!

        Reply

          • Gen 2 will def be the next ones to get megas. they’ll more than likely save megas for the gen 6 starters for when we revisit kalos in the zygarde game.

            Blazikenite event = hint at Hoenn getting megas & a remake
            Diancie getting a mega stone event = hint at more Kalos megas

            That way we’ll have megas for all the starters that are gens 1 through 3. After gen 6 gets megas we’ll only have gens 4 and 5 leftover.

          • The Gen 2 starters might have a higher chance of getting megas, because in pokemon emerald you received the gen 2 starters after completing the pokedex, and in heartgold and soulsilver it was vice versa (after beating red)??

            Possibilities. Possibilities.

  18. So I watched the Keldeo movie on Netflix. Was this supposed to be one of the good ones? It was alright, but I sorta hate when the legendary pokemon talk other than Mewtwo. The actress for Verizion was annoying and I did not think her voice fit that seemingly graceful legendary. I actually think the movie would’ve been a lot better without Cilan and Iris. Now that I think about it, they were a lot of my problem with it. Still not better than the Darkrai, Mewtwo, or Jirachi movies. 3/5

      • I can’t remember the last good pokemon movie they made. Well, the Darkrai one I guess. They need to get their shit together and give us the high quality stuff we deserve. I won’t stand for this!

          • I haven’t see the Genesect one. I’m still mad Japan were the only ones to get the Shiny Genesect event so I think I’ll protest for a little longer.

          • I need to watch that Lucario one again. I haven’t seen it in forever. I don’t particularly remember liking it, but I know a lot of you guys do so it can’t be all bad, right? 😮 The Manaphy one I didn’t like either but that’s probably because it’s Manaphy, the most pointless legendary ever other than Phione

          • That movie made Lucario my favorite Smash Bros. Brawl character evarrr. 🙂 The best part (other than the ending) to me, is where Luke and Ash beat each other up, and Luke sounded like an extremely jaded soldier…

            As for the Manaphy movie, the conflict seemed pointless to me. In addition, the circus guys and the Pokemon Ranger that Ash and Co. travel with weren’t particularly memorable either. I haven’t seen any movie since, but I might give Diancie a go.

            The only movie I enjoyed other than the Lucario movie, was The First Movie.

  19. If I just found out Gen 1 starters were getting mega’s, I could’ve probably guessed Thick Fat Mega Venasaur lol. But then people would’ve been like “that doesn’t make any sense like Sap Sipper Swampert” LMAO. I think a lot of us would’ve guessed Fire/Dragon Charizard Mega, but not a second one with Drought lol. Mega Blastoise would’ve probably been guessed by atleast 1 person saying something like “a new ability to boost its cannon moves”.
